When my words finally sunk into her brain, she released my hand. “I’m sorry, Jake. God, I’m so nervous for him.”
“He’s having the game of his life. If that scout is watching, he’ll certainly leave a lasting impression.”
She looked at me and smiled. “I hope you’re right.”
The clock began to count down the final seconds and Rick was in possession of the ball. He poised for the three-point shot.
“He’ll never make it,” Sam said.
“Just watch,” I responded as the ball sailed through the air and hit the rim of the basket, tipping into the net. Rick did it! Our team won the game.
The crowd roared to life. Pandemonium ensued as fans rushed the court. Sam jumped up and down on the bleachers, screaming her excitement. The next thing I knew, she was in my arms. In that moment, I swear time stopped. Sam and I had a platonic friendship; I didn’t understand why I was feeling an odd flutter in my gut. Then she kissed me on the lips. It was just a quick, friendly kiss, but it surprised me. I sucked in a breath. Before I could say anything, Samantha was passing me and running down to the court to congratulate Rick.
Maybe it was best she’d left me. What could I possibly say to her? Jenna stood next to me. She silently put her hand on my shoulder and gave a faint smile. We sat together in silence, waiting for the rest of the people to leave the stands so I could hobble down alone and undetected once the gym was empty.
