CHAPTER 7

‘Thanks, Dad!’ I blew him a kiss as I got out of the car.

‘Normal pick-up time?’ he asked, hands on the steering wheel like always.

‘Normal time,’ I said, scooping up my million-and-one bags. ‘But I’ll call your mobile if anything changes.’

In a flash, Dad’s eyes darted to me, then relaxed into a smile as he saw me giggle and wink.

‘Just joking …’

‘Saph,’ he said, shaking his head as if he wasn’t sure what to think.

Poor old Dad. I leaned over and patted his knee. ‘Don’t stress, okay? You worry too much.’

A long sigh, a slight nod, before Dad said goodbye. But I wasn’t going to let a dad from the 1950s drag me down. Tonight I was pumped. It was a big game, and the Charms might be on TV. But even with that extra pressure I couldn’t help remembering that Jay would be in the crowd. It would be the perfect chance for me to get him back for signing me up for school basketball.

Problem was, I couldn’t think of what to do. I could tell Lesley that I’d found a gay guy who wanted to join the troupe. Or introduce him to one of the players as my friend who has brain damage. But it all seemed a bit lame.

As I headed into the main stadium, an image flashed into my mind of holding Jay down and waxing his legs. See? Beauty takes balls . . . rrrrip!

Ah, the look of agony on his face would be pure bliss.
