Tess wasted no time when we got back to the room. I could barely get through it. I felt like crap, shameful and, in some way, used. But I did do it, which doesn’t say much about me.

So much was running through my mind. So many things I wanted to say to Tess. If I had any balls I would have told her how much I loved her, how I didn’t want to hurt her, but how I wanted to experience this new part of my life without being in this relationship.

I didn’t have any balls.

She stayed Sunday. At her suggestion, we hung out outside while Frank and a few of the boys played basketball. As we sat off to the side she made a point, I think, of sitting in my lap on the lawn and kissing me. She’d never been much for public displays of affection before, but now she wasn’t coming up for air, oblivious to anyone watching the show. Then Tess said she wanted to eat in the cafeteria with my friends when I offered dinner in town that night. I got the feeling that Tess wanted to make her presence here known.

My bad luck, Anna was sitting just a few tables over at dinner. When she saw me sit down with Tess, at the long table where the boys, Melissa, Charlotte, and Paige were already seated, Anna got up to leave, face devoid of emotion.

I knew that she was probably sick seeing this. I knew if the situation was reversed, I wouldn’t be able to sit and watch her with someone else. It would kill me.

Charlotte, probably still looking to get back at Anna after their last run-in, made a point of calling out, “Hey, Anna, come hang out. Why you going so soon?” A few heads swung in my direction but Brandon and Victoria made an attempt to distract Tess, drawing her into conversation. I leveled my gaze at Charlotte and told her to shut up. I didn’t say it loud but I knew she could read my lips. I saw Melissa grab Charlotte’s arm in anger and I heard Colin ask her why she had to be such a bitch. Anna was gone by the time I looked up but I saw Colin jogging out the door, no doubt trying to catch up with her.

Tonight, I thought. Tonight I have to put an end to this. “Tess let’s go. I don’t feel like eating this crap.”

I guess my tone didn’t leave any room for discussion because Tess followed along willingly. She took my hand and stroked my forearm as we walked towards the campus bus stop that would take us to the town circle. “I guess you weren’t joking when you said you wanted Italian, huh?”

I smiled at her, weakly. “Sometimes that whole group thing…I just need to be away from it.”

“I totally get that. You know, Declan, this is probably all temporary for you anyway. You could go for the draft after this season maybe.
