Chapter 8

Walking down Water St. on Thursday night, it wasn’t hard to tell which house was the soccer house. Cars were parked haphazardly on the lawn and in the street around a decently large two-story house that practically glowed for all the light escaping from it.

I stumbled closer, trying to keep my distance from others heading to the same destination. A night in the library had left me exhausted, and a day spent sneaking around and loitering in other campus facilities had me on edge. I’d perfected the art of pretending I didn’t have my college I.D. card, but that didn’t mean I felt like I belonged. On the contrary, I was an outsider to this entire world.

The only way to get back to my Nathan was to find Cammie, and to do that I had to go through Nate. I felt like he could’ve told me where Cammie was in two seconds while we were near the academic buildings on campus, but he’d chosen instead to lure me into his den for a night of drinking and horseplay.

He was braggy and conceded, but he was confident and forceful too, and those were always the things I’d found sexiest in Nathan. That was the worst part about it. I was under no illusions about what Nate wanted me for tonight, but I couldn’t escape from the inkling in my heart that I wanted him for the same thing too.

The door to the soccer house had been propped open, allowing absolutely anybody to enter. As I approached, I could see a healthy crowd inside and hear the music pumping. I didn’t know how long it would take for him to find me, but I would need every second of it to prepare myself to resist him.

Someone walked past the door just as I headed in, and I was surprised to realize I’d seen this guy before. It was Nathan’s friend Steven, a short, rich guy who didn’t seem to have a care in the world. He glanced at me and for a moment I thought he recognized me too. Stopping in his tracks, he grappled the doorframe and leaned out toward me.

“No, you’re supposed to be dressed like a nurse!” he shouted. It wasn’t that late, but he was well on his way to being hammered.

“What?”

“A nurse. How are you supposed to pop out of a cake dressed like that?”

A number of people inside turned their heads to see the cause of Steven’s shouting, and Nate was among them. I took a deep breath as he locked eyes with me from across the room.

“No, that’s not her!” Nate shouted to his friend, who apologized and unblocked the doorway. I took a step into the kitchen as Nate crossed the living room to meet me. He pushed aside a couple who were making out to get to me, careful not to spill the beer in his hand.

“Sarah, let me get you a drink!” he said, reaching into one of the cases stacked against the wall.
