Megan stopped by their table. Cassie wasn’t sure how Megan made the cheerleading outfit look cute whereas Amber, in the exact same uniform, made it look slutty. “Hey, guys,” Megan said, and turned to Cassie. “That was so funny when you called Amber out at rehearsal.”

Cassie made a noncommittal noise and shifted in her seat. “Mmm.” In teen movies, they always sent out a decoy cheerleader before the pig’s blood poured on your head. Could Megan be the knowing or unknowing accomplice to a revenge plot? Cassie glanced up at the ceiling tiles to make sure no bucket hung overhead.

Sierra laughed. “Yeah, it was.”

“See ya.” Megan moved on.

Letting out a sigh of relief, Cassie poked her fork at the flan. The dessert smelled more vanilla than custard and pieces slithered through the tines before wiggling their way back to the tray. Most of the food on her lunch tray jiggled. Even the meat pie slid around on its grease trail, not stopping until it butted up against the roll.

Ryan dropped by next. He bounced a black and white ball against the end of their table. Thump. “The game starts at one on Saturday.” Thump. Cassie took a strategic bite of her flan.

“It’s a home game.”

Cassie gave a noncommittal nod with a somewhat blank look. Did that mean they were going to kick or receive? She couldn’t remember.

Ryan slid in next to her. “That means it’s going to be located at home field. Here.” After taking a drink of her orange juice, Cassie lifted her tray to take it to the return area. Ryan tugged her back down. “You’re not going to eat your roll? That’s the best part.”

“It touched the meat pie.”

Sierra nodded in understanding, but Ryan looked blank. Cassie held the tray out to him. He snagged the roll and took a bite. “You park here in the student parking.” He took another bite. “I’m a starter Saturday.” His final bite finished the roll. “We’re playing Magnolia.” He bounced the soccer ball back and forth between his palms and raised his eyebrows.

“No ride,” Cassie said.

Ryan looked at Sierra expectantly.

“No way,” Sierra said. “I already have to go to Mike’s JV games. I mean, get to go. Plus my brother, Parker, is on the water polo team, so I have to go to those too.”

Brooke said, “Your mom will take you.”

Cassie would thank her for that later. She shrugged. “Maybe. I’ll ask.” Ryan grabbed a red t-shirt from his backpack and tossed. She raised two hands to catch it. Why would he throw something to her? He knew she wasn’t sporty.

She looked at the red Go Dragons t-shirt and knew she’d be attending the game.
