“Would you relax?” I eyed Edie with a mix of amusement and frustration as she fidgeted beside me in the stands.

“I don’t see why we had to come to the game together,” she said.

“It’s for research,” I lied. “You promised you’d let me get to know you better so I could find you a better match.”

Was it wrong that I was exploiting her desire for a date? Maybe. But I had to believe that in this one instance, at least, the app was right. I liked Edie, and I thought maybe she’d like me if she just gave me a chance. I had no idea why she was so prickly around me, but maybe if we spent more time together, talked about things other than school and group projects…

Maybe if she just gave me a chance, I could make her see that I wasn’t such a bad match after all.

She pursed her lips and looked away from me, eyeing the others in the stands as they filed in to watch tonight’s basketball game. “This was a bad idea,” she muttered, seemingly to herself. Turning back to me, she added, “Now the app is definitely going to match me with you.”

I bit my tongue to keep from asking if that would really be that bad.

Of course it would. Edie had made it alarmingly clear just how awful she thought it would be to be linked romantically with me.

I tried not to take offense, I really did. I mean, I liked to think I had a pretty healthy ego, especially when it came to girls. But even my confidence was a little rattled by her obvious disgust at being paired with me.

My confidence might have been shaken, but it also brought out my competitive side. Her words the other night at the diner had been like a bell dinging the start of a new round in boxing.

She was ready to dismiss me as a match even though we were so obviously great for one another?

We’ll see about that.

I ignored the voice of reason that was telling me this was a mistake. Not only to try and weasel my way into her good graces, but also to do it under the guise of a school assignment. The entire group had a lot to lose if we failed this assignment, and I had to tread carefully.

But I couldn’t just sit back and let her go. It wasn’t in my nature. I just had to prove to her by the dance that she hadn’t gotten the wrong result.

That maybe I was worth a shot.

That maybe she shouldn’t have rejected me all those years ago.

I rolled my eyes at the memory that still lingered. Whoever heard of a person getting all bent out of shape over a junior high incident. It was time to let it go, already.

And it was time for Edie to open her eyes and realize that it was time for her to get over whatever it was I’d done to get on her bad side.
