As I walked home from school, I thought about those three things I’d written down on those little slips of paper. The things I’d want to say good-bye to.

I pulled out my phone and typed the word Grass?

My finger hovered over the SEND button. But I couldn’t bring myself to press it.

I went straight to my room, changed into my running clothes, pulled my hair into a ponytail, and sat on the edge of my bed, lacing up my shoes. I rushed through my stretches, eager to get on the path. I had far too much to think about.

On the porch, I started my playlist, stuck in my earbuds, and turned the music up loud. I was just about to run down the stairs when something caught my eye. I looked to my left and saw Emory turning the key in her dead bolt. I moved back toward the door and hid behind a potted plant. I peeked my head out.

She was about to walk inside when she stopped. She turned to look at my house. She stared at my bedroom window for a second. And then she glanced over to where I was hiding.

And then she stepped inside and disappeared.

I missed her more in that moment than I had since the day we fought. Without giving myself time to think about it, I reached for my phone and opened a new message. I typed the word Grass? I was about to press the SEND button, but I stopped.

I pictured Luke, sitting in my living room the day before, asking me not to tell Emory he’d been there or that he was coming to church with me on Sunday. I told him his secret was safe with me. But if I saw her, I wouldn’t know how to keep it to myself.

I slipped my phone back in my pocket and took off running in the opposite direction.
