My sister was the one who always had the
doorbell ringing for her. Now it was finally my
turn.
Nash and I spent our first date at one of his
football practices. My friends and I watched from
the bleachers as the jocks did push-ups and
sprints and caught passes. It wasn't as intimate
and "get to know you" as I thought a first date
would be. Since then, most of our dates had been
spent with me on the sidelines, except for the
occasional times he drove me home.
While I spent the games jotting down ideas
for stories I hoped to write, Ivy primped for Jake,
and Abby jumped on the bleachers cheering for

When a new student first arrived at Legend's

front bumper. The driver-side door opened and a
guy got out, wearing a vintage brown leather
motorcycle jacket, torn jeans, and black hiking
boots. He walked into the school building. A few
moments later, the bell rang to change classes.
When I arrived at English class, I found my
desk occupied. The guy in the vintage leather
jacket was riffling through his backpack and
placing a notebook on my desktop. In Mrs.
Clark's class the students weren't seated in
