Chapter Twelve

Leo

I gripped my steering wheel and contemplated restarting my truck and hightailing it out of there.

“I didn’t know they were going to be here,” I told Kylie.

There wasn’t much going on in town after school. That’s probably why a chunk of my baseball team had ended up at the city park along with Kylie and me. She had an hour to fill before her shift started, so we’d figured it was safe to come here. Her parents were both still at work. If we bumped into anyone they knew, we could always pretend we weren’t together.

“It’s not a problem, is it?” she asked.

That remained to be seen. Colton, Dillon, and Trevor were on the field, tossing a ball around. Dillon wasn’t so bad. It was Colton and Trevor who wouldn’t think twice about giving me a hard time, even if they thought they were just joking around.

“It’s fine,” I decided. The park had a maze of trails that ran through the woods. We could be here and manage to stay out of their way. “Let’s go.”

We hopped out of my truck and headed toward the nearest walking trail.

“Zimmerman,” Colton called.

“Keep walking,” I ordered.

“Gladly.”

I had limited time with Kylie before she had to go to work. I didn’t want to waste any of it talking to him.

Colton shouted out a few more times. He had to have known we heard him and that we were blatantly ignoring him. But that didn’t stop him from disrupting the peace, anyway.

Kylie squeezed out a sigh of relief as we finally reached the nearest trail. In seconds, we were lost from his sight as we disappeared into the forest.

“What’s his problem, anyway?” Kylie wondered. “I don’t think I’ve seen him be nice to anyone. But he seems especially hard on you.”

“Old habits die hard,” I said. “He’s given me a hard time for as long as I can remember. I don’t even know what started it.”

In elementary school, they tell you if you ignore bullies, they’ll stop. Well, apparently Colton never got that memo because he’s kept on my case all these years, no matter how completely I ignore him.

Kylie’s fingers bumped into mine. Hoping it was a subtle hint, I took her hand. I glanced over my shoulder to make sure we were alone, and when I was confident we were, I said, “I have a question for you. It’s probably not any of my business, so I would understand if you don’t want to answer.”

She cut me a sideways look, scooting so close to me her body brushed up against mine, sending little shock waves all down my right side. She was only avoiding a fir bough, but my heart didn’t seem to care.

It had taken every bit of guts I had the other night to ask her how she really felt about me. I almost didn’t do it. Part of me figured I should just be happy that she’d kissed me, happy that she’d agreed to go on a date. I’d pushed ahead anyway.
