CHAPTER 19

“… And I told the guy, ‘Look, if you can’t control your girlfriend, don’t expect me to. If she’s going to chase me, she’s probably going to catch me—at least for a quick make-out.’” Mason was recapping his usual type story as we left fourth period.

He was telling me about this guy he got into a fight with the other night at a party. Mason gets into fights a lot. Usually over girls. I’m pretty sure it’s just because he’s frustrated that he won’t make a move on Summer. Sometimes I bother to tell him this, but not usually. Unless I want to duel jabs with him—which is sometimes fun.

Anyway, he was giving me the scoop as we were walking towards my locker after fourth period—then boom! My pulse thumped. Like exploded. ‘Cause I noticed Ally up in the distance. She was standing in front of my locker. And she was holding cookies. A huge smile spread on my face. I’d just saved her boyfriend, so I was pretty sure I knew what the cookies were about—her cute little silent thank you.

Well, I was ready to tell her, “You’re welcome.”

But she didn’t give me a chance. When she saw me smiling at her, she ran away.

I watched her go, exhaling a long drawn out breath. My heart falling. Bummer. I’d wanted the cookies … and her to like, talk to me.

Mason watched Ally running away and burst out a laugh. “There goes your cookies.”

He knew about the “Ally Situation.” Sort of. He knew she ran from me all of the time—and he knew about the big cookie she had given me back in middle school. Also, he knew I broke up Poser’s pounding from Jake this morning because of her. So Mason’s teasing me about being “Soft for School Girl” was more knowing than the rest of our teammates. I mean, he knew something was actually up—more than me just trying to spin-up Poser.

“The chick’s pretty weird,” Mason said.

“That she is,” I agreed with a grin as we both watched her run through the crowd—away from me.

“They were fresh baked cookies, too,” Mason informed me, rubbing it in that my cookies had just escaped me. The corner of his mouth quirked in a way you could call a smile. “I know because the chick has third period cooking class with Summer.”

Oh, that’s what the smile was about.

I gave a laugh, thrilled to redirect the subject. “Oh, so now you’ve memorized your ex-step-sister’s class schedule?”

Mason shrugged, but he was grinning. “Well, when it involves cookies—yeah.”

The guy and Summer were continually going after serial relationships that they knew were doomed, instead of just admitting they were hot for each other. So, I just grinned. “Poor guy, hiding behind baked goods.”

He inclined his head. “Well at least I got my baked goods.”

Amused, I gave a faint grunt, having to give him that. After all, mine had run off.

Squeezing my eyes shut, I mentioned around a sheepish grin, “It’s the thought that counts.”
