jade

"hey guys." it was after school and before i meet up with zach i decided to pop over to the basketball practice. "jade? hey what are you doing here?" jack says while corbyn raises an eyebrow at me. "i actually came here to talk to you." i say as i turn to face tyler. he looks back at me shocked.

"really?" i nod and motion for him to sit on the bleachers. "what's up?"
"just wanted to see how you were doing?"
"jade i know you, tell me what's up."
"this is going to be so awkward. basically i know this girl who likes you and she asked me to see if you would be up to it."

"i don't think so. kinda still getting over you."
"I'll tell her. sorry again about everything. you know the whole zach thing."
"i said we're good. don't sweat it."
"you didn't take that advice." i say and point to his forehead. he laughs and wipes the sweat away. "I gotta get back to practice."

"yeah i should head out too. bye tyler."
"bye jade." he runs off towards his team and i head to the exit. i wave to jack and corbyn before i leave the gym. once i get to the front doors i see zach leaning on a pillar, his phone in his head. i call his name and his head snaps up. "why didn't you text me back?" i pull my phone out of my back pocket and see it's dead.

"guess i didn't realize it died."
"why were you so late? we were supposed to meet after school."
"i didn't think you would mind i guess. i stopped over to the basketball practice."
"why?"
"i needed to talk to someone."

"let me guess. tyler?"
"yeah. are you mad at me?"
"no."
"do you want to know why i talked to him?"
"you're friends. you're allowed to."
"i just don't want you to be mad at me."
"I'm not."
"good."
