Noah

I didn’t know what happened in Coach’s office.

Not really.

I knew Jackson got called in. I knew his face looked like stone when he came back out. I knew the locker room went quiet in a way that almost never happened.

But Jackson didn’t say anything.

And Jackson always says something.

So yeah… it was eating at me.

I sat on my bed with my phone in my hand, thumb hovering.

Then I just hit call.

It rang twice.

Three times.

Finally—

“What.”

Jackson’s voice was flat. Tired. Like he was already a

  • Invisible To Her Bully   Chapter 263

    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,”

  • Invisible To Her Bully   Chapter 262

    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

    NoahThe locker room felt louder than it should have.Guys were shouting. Pads were hitting the floor. Someone was already blasting music from a phone speaker like this wasn’t the end of something.I sat on the bench, staring at my cleats.Last game.Last time pulling them off in this room.Jackson was two lockers down, shoving his gear into his bag like it was any other Friday.Except it wasn’t.I leaned back against the cold metal behind me.“You know what I’ve been thinking about?” I said.Jackson didn’t look up. “How badly you almost missed that block in the second quarter?”“Shut up.”He smirked faintly.“I’ve been thinking about what you said before the game.”That got his attention.He paused mid-zip.“Yeah?” he said casually. “Which part?”“Small fish,” I said.His hand stilled for a second.Then he finished zipping his bag and shrugged like it didn’t matter.“Oh. That.”“Yeah. That.”Jackson leaned back against the locker, towel still around his shoulders.“It’s true,” he sai

    JessaNoah reached me.He stopped so close I could see the tiny scrape on his cheek where someone’s helmet must’ve caught him. His chest was still heaving, breath fogging in the cold. The lights above made his eyes look almost too bright, like the whole night had wired him into something electric.But mine weren’t bright.Mine were… steady.My heart was pounding, sure. My stomach was still somewhere in my boots. And I could still feel the ghost of that moment—Tori’s hands around his neck, her mouth on his, the way it had looked from a distance before my brain could catch up.But I wasn’t going to fold in half on a football field.Not anymore.Noah’s gaze flicked over my face like he was reading it, line by line. His mouth opened, and for a second he looked like he didn’t know what he was allowed to say.“Jess—” he started.Behind him, Tori hovered a few feet away, arms crossed now like she’d been wronged. The smugness wasn’t gone. It had just shifted into something sharper—watchful, w

  • Invisible To Her Bully   Chapter 258

    JessaThe stadium lights made the snow in the air sparkle like someone was shaking glitter over the field.It wasn’t heavy snow—just dry, stingy flakes that drifted sideways in the wind—but the cold had teeth tonight. My toes were numb inside my boots, and every breath came out in a little cloud that disappeared as fast as it formed.Mariah was practically vibrating beside me in her oversized Ridgeville hoodie.“You realize,” she said, leaning close so I could hear her over the roar, “this is it. Last high school game ever. This is cinematic.”I swallowed.The last away game.The last time Jackson and Noah would ever play together in high school.Jackson had pretended it was nothing when we left the house. He’d shrugged, rolled his eyes when Mom said she was proud of him. But he’d been quiet in the car. Not nervous. Just… inward.And Noah.Noah had kissed my forehead before he jogged toward warm-ups and said, “Watch me, okay?”Like I wouldn’t.Like I ever didn’t.Now the clock was ble
