Henley

“Hey, am I giving you a lift home?” I say to Layla as she climbs out of the pool. “I don’t mind at all. I was just going to tell you I’d be outside, in the car.”

She grabs her towel and peels her cap off. “That would be bomb. Thanks, babe.”

I love Layla. She’s funny. She’s sweet. And most of all, she isn’t a judgmental bitch like some of the girls I live with.

“Henley, you ready for the swim meet on Friday?” Coach Humphrey says to me before I walk out of the aquatics center.

I adjust my duffel bag on my shoulder and give him a nervous look. “I mean … I hope so. But it’s been a while since I’ve, you know, competed.”

“Don’t focus on the fact that it’s a real swim meet, Hayes. Just focus on whatever the hell makes you swim so fast.” He looks at the clipboard. “You’ll be fine. Just don’t get inside your head. You can be your own worst enemy if you let yourself.”

“Yes, sir.” I nod. “I’ll see you tomorrow at practice.”

He holds his hand up and turns away. In the short time I’ve been on the swim team, he’s already taught me so much. In practice, he has so many teaching techniques that are new to me but have already helped me get gains. He’s brilliant. And he gave me a chance. I can’t let him down at this swim meet. I need to push through my nerves.

My parents are so excited that I’m on the swim team, so I’m sure they’ll want to come to my meet and then go to Weston’s game on Saturday night. They wouldn’t miss that game because he’s playing Dane’s team.

Let the awkward times roll.

The guilt of keeping secrets from Weston is forming a knot in my stomach, making it hard for me to even breathe at times today. I need to tell him. But I think it’s best to wait until after they face off Saturday night. I’ve caused those two brothers enough pain. I don’t want to cause any more than necessary.

I walk to my car, pulling my phone out of my bag. I dial my mom.

“There’s my little bag of sunshine sprinkles.” She beams through the phone.

She has always had the strangest nicknames for me. And they change on the daily.

I laugh as I open my door. “I mean, that’s not really how I think others see me, but … I’ll take it!”

“Well, that’s exactly what you are. What are you up to? How was practice?”

“It was great.” I smile as I climb behind the wheel. “You guys are going to love Coach. He’s incredible.”

“Oh, that’s so awesome, my little jelly bean. I looked online and saw you have a meet on Friday. We’re coming! So are Angela and Wyatt.”

I had a feeling Weston’s parents would travel up early and watch me swim. That’s how our families have been since … well, forever. They’ve always treated each other’s kids like their own.

“That’s so nice of y’all.
