Chapter 15

I gave Sean the silent treatment for the rest of the weekend. After I ditched him to sit with the girls at lunch on Monday, he sucked it up and begged forgiveness. At that point, he got a heated piece of my mind about what a giant bonehead he was. Between the tongue lashing and hours spent cleaning toilet paper off his trees, I finally decided we were square.

Mia and I had been texting all week; the occasional Hey, how’s it going? or This class is so boring. I knew she was getting comfortable with me because she initiated half of the conversations. She even waited for me at my locker on Wednesday, excited to share that Parker Bennet asked her to Homecoming, and thanks to me, she had an excuse to let him down without feeling bad.

Word spread quickly that I was taking Mia to the dance. By Thursday, I’d gotten props from a lot of the guys who’d been teasing me the week before. I hoped my new status as a lucky stiff would be enough to carry me through today without being mocked relentlessly. It was Friday, our first home game of the season. On game days, the cheer team wore their uniforms.

“I think it looks good!” Mia exclaimed when I emerged from the locker room. Her smile was bright, so I chose to believe she wasn’t just propping my ego. “It’s very slimming.”

“Do I need to be slimmed?” I looked down at the blue polyester pants and shirt combo. There were white stripes down the sides of the legs, which made the bottoms look kind of like joggers. Those weren’t so bad, but I wasn’t sure they were cool enough to offset the big, gold RHS embroidered on the white stripe across my chest.

“No, silly.” She swatted me on the arm. In addition to texting, there’d been a lot more touching this week. Most of it was stuff like a light punch or gentle slap. I wasn’t complaining, though. She could whack me over the head with her math book and my twisted libido would probably enjoy it. “Let me rephrase. That outfit enhances your muscular figure. Better?”

“Much.” I flexed my bicep as a joke. Her eyes darted to my arm and right back to my face. The warning bell rang. I took a deep breath. “Here goes nothing.”

We had class in the same direction, so we started walking together. She hooked her elbow through mine. The gesture felt totally platonic; disappointing, but I’d take what I could get. “Don’t stress,” she said. Guys will be idiots, but I promise that all the girls will be checking you out and thinking about how cute you look.”

“Every girl?” I asked with a pointed stare and a saucy grin. I’d been trying to drop subtle hints that I was interested, but she didn’t appear to be picking up on them. That, or she was ignoring them. Case in point, my comment was blatantly flirtatious. Her cheeks flushed a little, but she kept talking without so much as a giggle.
