Chapter Fifteen

Belle

This makes no sense at all.

I’m standing outside the office, after being handed my phone and even though I’m happy I’ve got it back, I don’t even know how it could have gotten lost to begin with. I had it with me when I walked away from Kayden at lunch and I know I didn’t put it down anywhere. I might be different from everyone else, but when it comes to my phone, I’m the same. I don’t let it out of my sight.

How did it end up in the office and who found it?

I should just be thankful it’s been found, but it worries me. Up until last year I didn’t even have a phone. I don’t know a whole lot about it yet, so everything I’ve ever said or done is still on it. I don’t delete anything. Even though our conversations are innocent, someone finding out that I’ve been talking to Kayden and exactly what we’re saying to each other scares me.

I don’t want anyone knowing that. It’s only for me.

“Here you are!”

I spin around at the sound, not even realizing that I’m not alone anymore. I’m met with a concerned pair of green eyes, ones that considering what time it is, I didn’t expect to see again until tomorrow. He’s supposed to be on the field for practice soon, so what’s he doing standing in the hallway with me?

“What are you doing here?”

I pull my phone from my pocket and hold it up to him in explanation. Now it’s his turn to share, because not only do I need to be outside in five minutes to catch my bus, but he has to be on the field.

This is something I do a lot. I’m good with details. No one can beat my ability to memorize and remember.

“I gotta get to practice, but I wanted to make sure you got to the bus.”

My phone still in my hand, I unlock the screen and start typing. A nod or a shake of my head won’t do.

You don’t have to do that.

“I know I don’t, but I wanted to. I also have something I want to ask you.”

Okay.

“Can you meet me after practice? I usually get done here around six or so.”

I don’t know to answer this. In the last two weeks, the only time we’ve actually hung out together has been at school. Well, other than the one time we went to his house, but I don’t count that. We didn’t spend any time alone. It’s always just been texting back and forth at night.

I’m not sure I want that to change, especially since I haven’t even told my mom about any of it.

I don’t know if that’s a good idea.

“Please? It doesn’t have to be for long, but I really want to see you after practice.”

Why did he have to go and say it like that? The way he says please softens me and I know I’m going to say yes, even though I don’t know how I’m going to make it all work yet.
