I want to punch the douche bag’s face in. With every throw and high five he gives her. When he nudges her shoulder with his own. When his hand rests on her lower back for a moment. I know I don’t have a claim on her, but fuck if I haven’t thought about her every day since the marina. Since the moment I knew that I had to let her go before we both got in over our heads. Brock and Bodhi weren’t thrilled, but they haven’t given me any grief over my decision. We will figure out another way to get the information we need.

She thinks I don’t notice the way her eyes cut to mine with each touch he gives her. She thinks I don’t notice how she looks my way when she makes a cup. She thinks her expression is impassive, that she doesn’t have her feelings written across her face for me to see, but she does.

“It’s your turn,” Brock says, elbowing me.

I look at him. “What?”

Oh, beer pong. Right.

I shoot the ping-pong ball and sink it, and Brock whoops next to me. I don’t let myself smile though. I keep my walls up, my shield on my face, and act as if seeing Landry over there with Connor fucking Stanson isn’t ruining my concentration and making me think murderous thoughts.

She doesn’t belong to you, I try to remind myself, but I want her to. I want the one girl I can’t have. Just my fuckin’ luck.

We beat their asses, and I don’t feel one bit bad about it. The faster I can split them up, the better. I know; I’m a selfish bastard, but I can’t help it. I didn’t think it through when Bodhi told us he had invited some kids from Heywood. We tried to tell him it was a bad idea, but he wasn’t going to be swayed. He had an ulterior motive. I know it has to do with Trixie, but that’s Bodhi’s battle to fight. We effectively put a ban on Landry around Almadale, but Heywood doesn’t answer to us. And now, I have to watch her having fun with someone else.

“Your obsession is showing,” Brock says, leaning nonchalantly against the table, eyes on the crowd of our classmates having fun.

“Shut up,” I growl, putting both hands up behind my head.

I see a few girls staring at me, but a quick scowl has them looking somewhere else. I’ve been in a downward spiral for a month, unable to entertain even the idea of being with someone else. All I’ve had for that time is my right hand, and after a while, it doesn’t fully satisfy me anymore.

I’m in a funk, and I know Brock and Bodhi are tired of it.

Hell, I’m tired of it. I need to get laid. Maybe that will help.

I watch Landry walk off with Trixie, fighting the urge to smile when Connor goes in the opposite direction.

Good fucking riddance.

The rest of the games are wrapping up around us, so the tournament should be progressing soon.
