Chapter 16

Sadie

Iwas almost to the Journalism building when I saw Tripp standing in front of it, hands in his pockets, wearing a cocky half-grin. His lips curved into a smirk, and he winked at me as I approached. I felt my cheeks heat up despite myself as he oozed an aura of effortless confidence. As I drew nearer, he looked at me with captivating blue eyes, the corners of his mouth curling into a flirtatious smirk.

“Look, my biggest fan,” he mocks, pushing himself away from the building.

Turning, I pretend to look for someone else. “Where? I want to see the poor soul,” I banter back.

Tripp laughs and slides in next to me as I don’t slow my strides. “So, have you heard the good news yet?” he asks, nudging my shoulder.

“What? That you are now STD-free?” I take the stairs and try to keep my emotions under control. Being near Tripp has my heart racing and my mind buzzing. Our banter is typical for us, but after Saturday night, I have no idea where we stand anymore.

“Funny,” Tripp mocks. “Nah, something even better. You are going with the Hawks on our next away game,” Tripp tells me.

I stop dead in my tracks, and Tripp almost bumps into me. “What?”

“I guess you hadn’t heard yet. Well, consider me lucky, as I get to tell you first,” Tripp quips.

Huffing, I find the will to walk again and storm into the Journalism building. I should be heading down the hallway to my ethics course, but I veer to the right and head straight to Chad’s office. Tripp trails behind me, and I can feel him smiling the entire way. Why does he enjoy my suffering so much?

Bursting into Chad’s office, I catch him as he’s laid back in his chair, playing a game on his cell phone. I startled him, and he jumped up straight. “Sadie, what are you doing?”

“What is this about me going to an away game,” I shout.

Chad eyes me, and then his eyes go as wide as saucers when he spots Tripp towering in the doorway. “Tripp Stevens, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” Chad gushes.

I roll my eyes as he fanboys over Tripp. “Focus, Chad,” I say, snapping in his direction.

“Well, the Hawks coach called and asked that Sadie and the rest of the sports department be available for away games. He wants all the good press they can get. I was just about to email you, but I got distracted with other work matters,” Chad stutters, keeping his eyes and smile on Tripp.

“You mean that you were too busy playing CandyCrush on your phone,” I snapped. “Look, can’t I just write my article from here? I can watch the game on television and write an article that makes every player a star,” I add.

Shaking his head, Chad puts his phone down on his desk. “I don’t think that will work. The Hawks want you at this game. I can’t say no, especially when they are getting sponsors to help us.
