The rink was teeming with people hooting and hollering at the men’s hockey game. I’d had the worst day possible with the exception of one. My chemistry teacher had gone out of his way to grade my test that day after school, and I’d passed with a seventy, thus making my overall average a passing grade in the class, which meant I could play in tomorrow’s night game.

Aside from that, my stomach was a wad of knots. One moment, I was angry with Quinn, and the next, I was kicking myself in the butt for walking away.

It had taken all I had not to devour her lips and kiss her until someone had to call the paramedics. But she didn’t need to use me to get to Tessa, especially not in front of a burger joint full of high school kids who’d probably had their phones ready to snap pictures.

I’d run out to talk to her, but when Chase had pulled up, I’d lost all train of thought. Or rather my only thought had been to start a fight with Chase. That wouldn’t have accomplished anything. Besides, he hadn’t forced her to get into his car.

Surprisingly, he’d gone out of his way at basketball practice earlier to let me know he’d taken Quinn straight home last night and nothing more. I would’ve decked him if he had tried something. He was becoming a walking contradiction as of late. When I’d found him walking into Shakers with Quinn, he’d given me one of his fuck-off attitudes, but on the other hand, he’d voted for me for team captain. At the moment, though, Chase was the least of my worries.

Ethan had said to give Quinn space, to let her be for a day or so then talk to her. But honestly, I didn’t know if that would work because Tessa would always be a thorn, pricking and pricking and pricking until she got what she wanted. But she wasn’t getting me, and it was high time she left Quinn alone. The million-dollar question was how to get Tessa to leave both of us alone.

I stared at my phone on the table Tessa had set up to sell the discount cards. I’d forgotten all about the fundraiser when I’d found out about my aunt Denise. But I was obligated to do my part for the team, even more so now that I was captain. I couldn’t let them or Coach down.

I tapped out a text to Quinn. Hey babe, can we talk? I didn’t know how much space I was supposed to give her, but if I didn’t talk to her, I was going to flip out.

The noise in the rink grew louder with some of the fans screaming at the tops of their lungs at the game.

I couldn’t help but remember how the fans at the basketball game the night before had been shouting with excitement every time we’d scored a basket. I’d been bummed I couldn’t play. Yet watching Chase as point guard had been an eye-opener.
