Masen's POV

The game had started out rough, but we were getting into our rhythm. Johnny was on fire as usual, and we were pushing through against the other team.

I tried to focus, but every now and then, I'd catch sight of Evie on the sidelines, her camera aimed at us.

I couldn't help it—I was drawn to her.

Gibsie elbowed me as we huddled up. "Keep your head in the game, lad. You're off in la-la land."

I grunted in response. He wasn't wrong. I had been distracted since that night on the school trip.

Evie's words, the way she'd looked at me—everything about her left me restless.

The game ended with us winning, but I barely noticed. My mind was elsewhere as I jogged off the field, sweat dripping down my face.

I spotted Lizzie out of the corner of my eye, and she gave me a sickly-sweet smile.

"Masen, you need to be careful with the people you hang around," she said in a low voice, her eyes flicking toward Evie.

I stopped in my tracks. "What the hell are you talking about?"

She gave a mock shrug, her smile never wavering. "Just trying to help. People are talking, you know."

Before I could reply, she sauntered off, leaving me feeling more agitated than before.

Whatever Lizzie was planning, it wasn't good.
