Chapter 13

Booker

Everybody’s heading out of town for spring break and the living room of The Chapel is in total chaos. There are suitcases and laundry baskets and bags filled with towels and toiletries. My friends all milling around, making sure they have everything and making last-minute swaps. By the look of things, you’d think they were planning to stay in Florida a month, or that there were twenty of them going on the trip, but no. It’s just the six of them since I can’t go. I should be jealous. I mean, they’re heading for the land of sunshine and palm trees, while the weather here promises to be rainy and cold all week. Not that it will matter. I’ll be spending all my time at the rink and the gym, which is fine by me, even if they think it’s a travesty.

“Book, are you sure you can’t go?” Phoebe asks, plunking down an overstuffed canvas bag.

“Yeah, it’s Rose’s first trip to Disney. That has to be mandatory, right?” Willa asks. “I mean, she won’t remember any of it, but she’ll see the pictures.”

“She’ll remember it,” Knox assures her. “Our kid’s a genius.”

“Our kid’s barely more than a year old,” Willa tells him, but this logic makes no difference.

“A baby genius,” he insists.

“Who’s a genius?” Whit asks, looking up from the depths of his backpack. “Cause it’s sure as hell not Booker, no offense. Who passes up a trip to see the world’s most famous mouse? And to go on vacation with me?”

Since they hatched this plan a few weeks ago, they’ve been trying to convince me to book a last-minute flight, but I need to stay here.

For lots of reasons.

“Alright,” Whit stretches. “Before we go, I need to ask a serious question, just to make sure you’re all worthy. Who’s the best Disney princess?”

Willa raises her hand. “Belle. It’s the library for me.” Ty high fives her, but his girlfriend, Phoebe is shaking her head.

“Agree to disagree. It’s Ariel.”

“Ariel?” Whit challenges. “The girl who marries a guy who eats her friends? Yeah, no. You’re on the no-fly list.”

Lucy laughs. “No one’s on a no-fly list. But Pheebs, you are wrong. It’s Rapunzel. Girl can wield a frying pan. That’s enough for me.”

Whit looks down at his girlfriend. “Fair point, but you’re wrong, too.”

Lucy’s hand goes to her hip and she’s clearly poised to argue. “Uh, no, I’m not. How can I be wrong about my own opinion on Disney princesses?”

“Easy,” Whit shrugs. “Because you have the wrong opinion. Gentlemen? Any guesses?”

Ty takes a sip of his beer. “I’m with Willa. It’s Belle.”

“Nah, it’s that one with the sword,” Knox interjects. “What’s her name? Mulan. Yep. She has a sword. She wins automatically.”

Whit stares at Knox. “What the hell is the matter with you? Never mind, there’s no time to answer that. Alright, Book, it’s up to you. What’s your answer?”

Whit and I have been best friends since I was born, as a result of our moms being close. I know how his mind works.
