Invisible To Her Bully Chapter 266
NoahSomething was off.Not bad off. Not the kind where Jess looked upset or angry.Just… quieter.I noticed it right after lunch when everyone was celebrating Jackson and me getting the offers from State. Everyone else had been loud and excited, and Jess had smiled and said the right things, but there was something behind her eyes that didn’t quite match the moment.And the thing about Jess was…Most people thought she was hard to read.She wasn’t.You just had to pay attention.She’d gotten really good at pretending things didn’t bother her. Months ago she decided she wasn’t going to give Ridgeville the satisfaction of seeing her react anymore.But I could still see the difference.And all afternoon it had been there.By the time the last bell rang, I was done pretending I didn’t notice.She was at her locker when I walked up.“Hey,” I said.She looked up and smiled automatically. “Hey.”“How was your last class?”“Algebra,” she said with a small groan. “Which should answer that que

JessaThe hallway emptied faster than it had any right to.One second it was chaos—lockers slamming, people yelling across the corridor, someone sprinting like their life depended on making it to class on time—and the next it was just… quiet enough to hear your own thoughts.Which was exactly the problem.Because my thoughts had been getting louder lately.Noah was still walking beside me, our hands linked automatically like they had been for months now. It had become something natural between us—no hesitation, no awkwardness. Just a quiet understanding that we fit together there.He squeezed my fingers lightly.“You’re thinking again.”I glanced up at him. “Is it that obvious?”“Only to me.”Of course it was.I tried to smile, but it felt a little forced this time.Because my brain had not stopped replaying the conversation from lunch.Jackson and Noah both going to State University.Division One football.Full rides.Their futures were suddenly very real.And suddenly very clear.Th

JessaThe table exploded the second Jackson said it.“I talked to Coach again yesterday,” he had started, trying to sound casual.But Jackson had never been good at hiding big things.“They offered me the full ride.”For half a second nobody moved.Then Mariah shot out of her seat like a firework.“I knew it!” she shouted, grabbing his arm so hard his tray nearly tipped. “Division One! Oh my God, Jackson!”Shane slapped the table.“State University, man. That’s huge.”Jackson tried to play it cool, but the corners of his mouth kept twitching like he was fighting a smile that refused to stay down.“It’s not official until I sign,” he said, though his voice carried that rare mix of excitement and disbelief.Mariah pointed a fry at him.“Oh please. You’ve been dreaming about this since you were twelve.”Jackson shrugged like it was no big deal, but I saw the way his shoulders straightened.He was proud.And he deserved to be.Then Noah said quietly, “Yeah… about that.”Everyone turned to

JessaMarch in Ridgeville was a liar.It looked like spring if you squinted—sunlight on the cracked sidewalks, patches of grass pretending they weren’t still half-dead—but the wind still had teeth, and the snow didn’t so much “melt” as it retreated into ugly gray piles that refused to leave. Slush lived in the parking lot like it paid rent. The air smelled like wet pavement and thawing dirt and the weird hope that winter might finally be done with us.I used to hate mornings like this.Not because of the weather—because of everything else.Because walking into Ridgeville High used to feel like stepping into a room where everyone had already decided who I was supposed to be.Now… it was different.Not perfect. Just different.I pulled my jacket tighter as Mariah and I crossed the student lot. She was talking fast, hands flying, like she had a motor in her chest that never shut off.“So I’m just saying, if you put one more ‘motivational quote’ on your planner, I’m calling an exorcist,”

NoahBenny’s was louder than usual.That was saying something, because Benny’s was always loud after a game. But tonight felt like someone had turned the volume up on everything—voices, laughter, plates clattering, the jukebox humming something old and scratchy in the background.Maybe it was because it was the last one.The last game.The last time half the people in this restaurant would be here for the same reason.Jackson and I pushed through the door together, a blast of warm air and the smell of grease and fries hitting us after the cold outside.“Finally,” Shane shouted from across the room. “Look who decided to show up.”“Coach held us,” Jackson called back.“That’s because he likes me more than you,” I added.“Keep dreaming,” Jackson muttered.My eyes scanned the room automatically.And there she was.Jess.She was sitting in the booth with Mariah, leaning slightly toward the table, listening to something Mariah was saying. The second she saw me, her face lit up in that quiet

JessaBenny’s always smelled like fries and melted cheese and victory.The neon beer signs glowed against the windows, fogged up from too many people crowding in at once. Half the football team was already there when Mariah and I walked in, snow still melting off our boots, the place buzzing with post-game adrenaline.It felt different tonight, though.Not just because they won.Because it was the last one.Ever.Shane was halfway standing on a booth yelling about his interception like it needed its own press conference. Someone had dragged two tables together. Parents were in one corner pretending not to eavesdrop. A few underclassmen hovered like they were watching seniors step into some mythical ending.Mariah slid into the booth across from me and stole one of my fries without asking.“You look like you’re thinking too hard,” she said.“I am,” I admitted.“About?”I hesitated.“Christmas.”Mariah blinked. “You just watched your boyfriend win his last high school game and your brai
