Chapter Six

Sabrina

On Thursday she was standing at her locker shoving one of her textbooks inside when a guy she recognized from being on the football team leaned against the locker next to hers. She had seen him hanging around Chad a couple of times. Eric, she thought his name was. He was a pretty skinny guy for being on the football team. He had a crew cut hairstyle and was wearing his varsity jacket.

“Hey. Sabrina, right?” he asked

She pulled her books to her chest. “Yea.”

“I don’t know if you remember me. I was at Luke’s party a few weekends ago,” he said.

She didn’t remember, she barely remembered anything from that night but she played along anyways. “Oh yea, what’s up?”

He shoved his hands in his pocket, suddenly looking nervous.

“Are you going to the game tomorrow night?” he asked.

Despite her protest Wendy had convinced to go to the game once again.

“Wendy is dragging me there.”

“Oh cool, so…would you maybe want to get a bite to eat afterwards?” he asked.

Sabrina froze. Was he asking her on a date?

Eric noticed her hesitation. “It doesn’t have to be anything serious just some burgers or something.”

At the word burger she thought about Jayce. He had made it clear there was no hope for them, so why not go out with someone else. She hadn’t said a word to Jayce since their fight. The car rides to school were filled with awkward silence. He’d tried to engage her in conversation the first couple of days but he’d eventually given up.

“We don’t have to—”

“Yea that sounds fun,” she interrupted.

Eric’s face lit up. “Really?”

Sabrina nodded. “Yea.”

“Here.” Eric dug in his jacket pocket and pulled out his phone. “Go ahead and put your number in and I’ll text you after the game.”

She quickly programmed her number in his phone.

“See you on Friday,” he said as he walked away.

She smiled. “See you on Friday.”

This would be good for her. When she turned around to head to her class she caught Jayce’s eyes from down the hallway staring at her and from the look on his face he had seen the whole interaction. She smirked. This was what he wanted, this was what he was going to get. She waved at him before sashaying away to her next class.

When school ended, Sabrina headed to Jayce’s car like normal and waited for him. He came out of the building and headed towards her. He didn’t say anything as he unlocked the car and got in the driver’s seat. She climbed inside and could instantly feel the tension. Jayce started the car and headed towards her house. His muscles were tense and he kept clenching and unclenching his jaw. She couldn’t understand how he could be so mad. She’d done nothing wrong. He’d told her that they couldn’t be together, what did he expect her to do?

“You’re really going to go out with that guy?” Jayce asked, breaking the silence.

“Yes, why wouldn’t I?”

“He’s a tool.”

“You don’t even know him.”

“And you do?” he snapped. “You’ve barely been here a month—you don’t know anyone.
