Noah

By the time I got to the locker room, practice gear slung over my shoulder, my head was already buzzing with a thousand thoughts I didn’t want to deal with. Normally after a Saturday game, I woke up pumped — win or lose — ready to get back on the field.

Today?

I woke up thinking about Homecoming.

And Jessa.

And how asking her to go with me felt like stepping off a cliff with no plan to land safely.

I saw her last night long enough to talk on the phone before she went to bed. I could still hear her laugh in my head — soft, surprised, like she didn’t quite believe someone wanted to talk to her.

I’d gone to sleep thinking about that.

And woken up thinking about that.

Which was a whole new level of dangerous.

I shoved my gym bag into the locker and pulled off my hoodie just as Jackson sat down beside me, dropping his cleats onto the floor with a thud.

He looked better than usual — less tense, less storm-cloud-with-hair energy. He stretched one leg out, groaning under his breath, then

    NoahI pulled into Jessa’s driveway slower than necessary, mostly because I wasn’t ready for the night to end. She sat beside me, quiet but not in a bad way — more like she was trying to hold on to the last few minutes before reality came rushing back.The streetlamps hit her hair in soft gold streaks. She picked at a thread on her sleeve, pretending not to notice me looking at her and definitely failing.“You okay?” I asked.She nodded, though her voice came out small. “Yeah. Just… I don’t know. Tonight was really nice.”Nice.If she only knew what it did to me — walking beside her, listening to her laugh, catching her looking at me like she couldn’t believe I wanted to be there.I could’ve sat in the parking lot talking to her for five more hours.I reached over and brushed her cheek with the back of my fingers — slow, careful, like she might flinch away.She didn’t. She leaned into it.“You know,” I said, “I’m really glad you came out with me.”Her breath hitched just a little. “Me

    JessaNoah texted me in the late afternoon, right after practice ended.Noah:Heading home. Quick shower.Be there at 7.The message made my stomach fizz.I must’ve stared at the text for a full thirty seconds before Mariah snapped her fingers in front of my face.“Hello? Earth to Jessa. Put your phone down and sit. We need to get you ready.”I sat at the edge of my bed and watched Mariah unzip her makeup bag — a terrifying combination of glitter, brushes, and products with names like “Luminosity Glow Burst.”“Do I need glow burst?” I asked skeptically.She didn’t pause. “Tonight? Yes.”“I feel like that’s a lie.”“It is,” she admitted, “but it’s still necessary.”I laughed, nervous and happy and panicked all at once. My body felt like it was buzzing in too many directions.“Okay,” I breathed. “But… is this really a date?”“Yes,” she said without even looking up.“How do you know?”“Because I know men,” she said. “Well, boys. Stupid, emotionally helpless boys. Noah has officially ente

    JessaBy the time the last bell rang, I could barely sit still.Not in the panicky way I used to feel walking down hallways — terrified someone would make a comment or laugh behind my back. This was different.This was… warm. Fluttery. Kind of electric.And all because Noah Carter wanted to hang out again.Not by accident.Not because we got pushed together.Not because he had to.Because he wanted to.I still couldn’t get used to that — Noah wanting me.Noah choosing me.Even now, hours after he asked, the words replayed in my head:“After practice… let’s go somewhere. Just you and me.”My stomach flipped every time I remembered it.At my locker, I grabbed my books and tried to look casual — like I wasn’t living in a romantic alternate universe where Noah texted me goodnight and called me just to hear my voice and said things like you made my day better for no reason.Mariah appeared beside me, already smirking.Her superpower was always knowing exactly when I was about to spiral.“W

    NoahBy third period, Ridgeville High felt like the whole school had taken a shot of gasoline and chased it with gossip.Everyone was talking about Daniel.“He got expelled—”“He punched a cop—”“He got recruited by a cult—”Stupid. Ridiculous. Loud.I slammed my locker shut a little too hard, and it rattled.Jackson grabbed a textbook and gave me a side-eye. “Bro. Locker abuse won’t bring him back from the dead.”I snorted. “Feels like it might, though.”We started down the hallway. People kept glancing at us — like we were walking reminders of the chaos they’d watched online. I ignored it.Then I saw her.Jessa.Talking quietly with Mariah.Her binder hugging her chest, hair soft around her face, wearing that red sweater that somehow made the whole hallway look less gray.But her expression…Not sad.Not angry.Just heavy.I didn’t even think — I just walked straight toward her.Mariah noticed me and smirked before slipping away like she’d planned this.“Hey,” I said.Jessa looked u

    MariahBy Tuesday morning, Ridgeville High felt like someone had shaken the entire student body and said, “Gossip harder.”I barely had my car parked before a group of sophomores tore across the lot screaming, “OH MY GOD, HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT DANIEL?!” like the apocalypse was coming and Daniel was Patient Zero.I rolled my eyes so hard it hurt. “Please. It’s too early for this level of stupid.”Jessa climbed out of the passenger seat, clutching her bag, nervous energy written all over her. She looked… good. Braver. Softer around the edges in a way that made me want to hug her and smack her at the same time for ever doubting herself.But I knew this kind of hallway chaos could shatter her confidence fast.The moment we stepped inside, the noise hit us like a freight train.“He threw a desk at Coach—”“No, Coach threw HIM through a window—”“My cousin’s cousin said the school board was involved—”“Somebody online said Daniel tried to FIGHT A POLICE DOG.”I stopped walking. “I swear on a

    JessaBy the time Mariah dropped me off, the late-afternoon sun had turned the living room warm and golden. My arms felt empty — lighter — without the dress bag we’d handed over at the seamstress shop.Three days.That’s how long it would take before I got the dress back.Three days before I’d see if all those pins and careful tucks turned it into something that actually fit me.Three days before I’d know if I’d look like the girl Noah Carter wanted to take to Homecoming… or just the girl fighting to feel worthy of it.I kicked off my shoes and headed to my room, trying not to let my brain spiral.I was smoothing my comforter — for the third time — when I heard the front door open.“Jess?”Jackson’s voice.“In here!” I called out.He appeared in my doorway, hair damp from a shower, still wearing his practice shorts and Ridgeville Football T-shirt. There was a tightness in his jaw that immediately made my stomach dip.“What happened?” I asked.He ran a hand through his hair.“You’re no
