Over the past two weeks the team and I had practiced. After our final game two weeks ago we had won and qualified for state.

We had now games except for the one on Friday. That was state.

We were all in the locker room for a mid practice break. Mj usually came in since no one changed. Her and I hadn't gotten any better. Whenever I'd try to apologize I would just make things worse so I stopped trying.

I was sat on one of the benches in the back while mj sat with jack and jonah on the opposite side. I kept my eyes on the lockers beside them so I could still see her. I know it sounds creepy but this is the normal. At one point her and Jonah kept glancing over at me. At first I thought they had caught me but she kept a smile on her face.

I noticed her get up so I tore my eyes away from the wall of lockers and shifter them to my bag. I dug my hands into it and shuffled my stuff around to pretend like I was doing something.

"Hey Daniel" I practically jumped off the bench when she spoke. I hadn't expected her to come and talk to me. "Oh uh hey mj" I gave her a little awkward wave before looking back at the bag between my legs.

"Um tomorrow during lunch the guys and I want to skip the last half of school and go out to eat before the game on friday. We would do it after but we all know we would end up being out late." Her voice was laced with hope and desire. I didn't realize how much I could hurt her until I picked up on all of the small things she did.

When she first found me my sisters friend I noticed a fire in her when she'd walk. Or when I would come by she would twirl her sweatshirt string around her finger.

After I had apologized she was more sad than angry. She would always sneak away at lunch and come back with red eyes, no one ever said anything. We all just knew it was me causing it. Then she seemed to move past about a week ago.

I didn't get an awkward or sad vibe off her when she was around like I usually would. She seemed...fine.

"Oh well do you really want me there or is this just some pity thing because-"

"No Daniel. I want you there and so do the guys" she let out a soft sigh before speaking again. "We miss you. I miss you" I snapped my head up at her words.

"Y-you do? But I thought what I did was unforgivable. Mj I hurt you so much. Why? I don't deserve this. I don't deserve you" Her eyes flickered with something but vanished before I could define what it was.

"Meet us outside by the tree when lunch starts tomorrow" with that she got up and made her way back over to Jonah. Was she really willing to forgive me? After what I did to her?

IM SORRY FOR ALL OF THE FILLERS. IM GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THIS IS PROMISE. So Dani boy has been forgiven... or hasssss he? (Idk I can't decide lmao) have a good day/night and thanks for reading!!
