Chapter 15|'Who the hell is 'Him'?'|

  I jogged past students in the hallway, trying to get as far away from Coach's office as possible. It was surprising how many students actually stayed after school.

  I called Sadie who had gotten all the players out on the field a half an hour earlier. I don't want to know how.

  "Did you do it?" She immediately asked.

  "Yes," I confirmed. "I'm hitching a ride with someone from my Science class so I'll be at home."

  "Are you sure?" Sadie said. "I can drive you."

  "I'm fine," I said exasperated. "I've known him for pretty much my whole life."

  "Him?!" Sadie exclaimed. "Who the hell is 'Him'?"

  I laughed. "Goodbye, Sadie."

  "Wait, no–" I ended the call, running outside.

  When I saw him sitting on his car, I smiled in relief. He saw me and shot me a small grin back as I jogged over to him to avoid getting hit by a car.

  "Are you sure you can drive me?" I asked hesitantly. "Cause if you can't then I can get a ride from someone else."

  He laughed lightly and sat up, wincing when he pulled he pulled his shoulder to far. I smiled pitifully. "Do you want me to drive for you?"

  He shook his head. "I'm good," He said. "Its just hurts a little, but that's how you know its healing."

  Now I felt bad. He probably wasn't even supposed to be walking around, much less driving. "Are you–"

  "Yes, I'm sure." He chuckled. "Now get into he car before I leave you on the road."

  It gave me a great feeling in my stomach when I could make him smile and laugh and his best friend couldn't.

  I smiled at him gratefully. "Thanks, Max."

  Max grinned. "No problem."

A/N:

Holla! So, if you don't remember who Max is, he's the quarterback who messed up his shoulder during a practice and is now out for the season.
  Who went trick or treating? I did! I got three bags full of it. And then I had to rush to the football game and I didn't get home until midnight. My friend and I were the only Freshmen to get to the front of the bleachers. #Goals.
  How was your guys' Halloween nights?
