I’m starting to question my own sanity when I agree to wake up at five a.m. the next morning to help the team perform some post-win ritual. Apparently, this is the real reason everyone cared about yesterday’s game: it’s the only rival close enough to drive to.

No one would tell me exactly what we’re going to be doing, but I had a strict order to be out the door by five fifteen.

I’m putting my shoes on when one sharp honk comes from outside.

I shove my feet into the pair of sneakers and grab my house keys from the table. I slip out so Becca doesn’t honk again and lock the door. Turning around, I freeze.

Instead of Mrs. Winthrop’s SUV, there’s a large, black, luxury one parked against the curb.

You’ve got to be kidding.

My feet move slowly down the steps. By the time I make it down to the curb, the rear window rolls down and I see a blonde, brunette, and a redhead in the back seats.

“My mom needed her car today, so Luke offered to drive.”

Daisy’s smile is wide on her face. I can’t tell if she’s lying or not.

I stare at Lily, who seems completely relaxed in the spacious middle seat. I’m hoping my eyes tell her everything I don’t want to say out loud. And when she responds, I know she got my message and completely ignored it.

“You can take the front seat.”

She reaches over Daisy and rolls up the window.

I sigh, my breath fogging up the tinted glass.

When I open the passenger side door, I sigh again.

Luke’s seated in the driver’s seat of the car, one hand on the steering wheel, the other lying on the center console, palm up. A smile on his face.

I can’t tell if it’s genuine.

“Good morning,” he says gruffly.

His hair is disheveled, like he’s just rolled out of bed. I wouldn’t be surprised if Lily forced him to drive rather than it being a kind offer.

I climb into the passenger seat, shut the door firmly behind me, and cross my arms over my chest.

From the corner of my eye, I see Luke look down at his open hand and back to me.

I sink further into the leather.

Taking the message, he puts both hands on the steering wheel and pulls the quiet car onto the road.

Something clanks in the trunk.

“Uh, what exactly are we doing?” I ask. “It’s not illegal, is it?”

“Nah, just some payback.”

I look into the backseat from the rearview mirror.

“Why? We won the game.”

Becca shrugs.

“It’s just what we do.”

“When they win, we all wake up to our houses littered with flowers for the Greenfield Wasps.”

“Where are Freddie and Tyler?”

Luke’s hands flex on the steering wheel.

“The guys drove up together. It’s a team bonding thing.”

“Boys,” my friends say in unison.

Lily leans forward in her seat, looking up at Luke.

“Tell me about it. I don’t know how many times my father took Luke out and left me behind.”

Luke looks at his sister through the mirror.

“I think you’re mistaken.”

“Yeah?” Lily snorts. “When
