Chapter 15

There’s no polite way to tell Morgan Murtz that both of her shit tzu’s are little demons—even Bingo is better about getting a bath then they are—but at least by the time I’m threw with wrestling with them in her tub, she has to admit they look a lot better than they did.

By the time I get home, I barely have time to eat and change my clothes before it’s time to meet everyone else at the school. But if I smell like wet dog, at least no one is brave enough to tell me about it.

It’s already dark outside by the time I arrive at the field behind Fairview High, but it’s a clear enough night and the moon hangs large above us, so I have no trouble seeing. And by the looks of the girls already kicking a ball between them, no one else does either. A couple of guys sit on the bleachers, but so far there’s no sign of Noah.

I don’t even bother saying hello to anyone. Instead, I drop my bag on the ground and sprint toward the field, intercepting a pass between a couple of our team’s younger girls who didn’t even see me coming.

From that moment on, I am completely in the zone. I don’t notice as other people show up, or even really when they join in. What starts as a few of us kicking the ball around morphs into a full-fledged game with a mixture of guys and girls on each team, with minimal hassle.

I spot Noah, Emma and Jamie all on the opposing team, but as little more than blurs on the field. Noah and Emma are both unreal as they weave through the field, both maybe showing off a little, but I can never focus on them for more than a few seconds at a time. I have my own game to worry about.

Most of the people on the field tonight are playing better than I’ve ever seen them. Maybe it’s a result of the week off, but I think we’ve all just realized exactly how much this game means to us. How much we want it. Somehow, I even manage to assist Joel in a really nice goal, not even really realizing who it was I was playing with until the game paused to reset after the ball crossed the goal line.

God, I needed this.

By the time the game ends, hours later and with no one entirely sure what the final score was, it didn’t matter if I had showed up smelling like dogs. Every part of me was dripping with sweat, even though the night air had started to abandon all trappings of summer for the cool breezes of fall.

But in this crowd, at least I knew no one would judge me. No one else looked much better than I did, and everyone there could appreciate a good workout.

A few people leave as soon as the game ends, curfews to meet, but there are still more
