Under the Stadium Lights — Episode 4

I was so happy until today. He openly got Avery onto the team. Nobody judged her. Nobody pushed her out Someone even said hey to celebrate the new member. Why don't we all grab dinner? Jackson? What do you think? The team had dinner together once a week Jackson was fine with it. So I had no choice but to agree I stayed behind to pack up the equipment

So I was a little late by the time I got outside they were already in the team bus No more seats last one in has to get a taxi The bus was usually packed just right, but with Avery joining us today, I was the one left out. I instinctively glanced over at Chase.

Who was the last one in? Just get out already so we can go. I turned around and stepped off without a word. Even after the taillights disappeared around the corner, I was still standing I checked my phone. Nothing from Chase.

He didn't care if I made it into the bus. Didn't ask if I even knew where dinner was. Then Jackson dropped a location in the group chat. Grab a taxi to this spot. I'll cover your fae.

I was about to type back that I wasn't coming. Taxi's booked. Next time, hurry up. Stop dragging your ass. Avery may have been the new student manager, but she was always glued to I was still doing all the work. I was so upset and called Chase to explain.

I'm carsick. Can't talk right now. Just get here. He hung up on me. By the time I made it to the restaurant, there were two empty spots left. One across from Chase. The other is right next to him. I figured the one next to him was for me, but the second I walked over that's my seat
