Too Big to Fit. Chapter 198
SydneyI drew a breath, chest rising and falling too quickly.Tears stung my eyelids, blurring my vision no matter how many times I blinked them away.‘Hold it in, Sydney.’But Tyler just watched me.Quiet.I swallowed.“I didn’t mean to push you away.” My voice was almost a whisper. “I was scared, and I didn’t know what to do…and then everything just kept getting worse. I kept thinking I was making everything worse for you too. And I just…” “Sydney, stop.” His voice was quiet, but it was enough for my breath to catch.I finally stopped.I could feel eyes on my skin without even looking. The few people still left in the greenhouse probably entertaining themselves with Sydney Walker falling apart in front of Tyler Sinclair.Whether they understood what was happening or not.But I didn’t care.Not really.Not when I’d spent the entire weekend carrying this guilt around inside me, with the loss making everything a thousand times worse despite everything Mom had told me.I just…couldn’t.
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 197
SydneyI held my breath for some reason, unconsciously counting the seconds in my head.Three seconds was what it took.Then I opened my eyes. Tyler was staring at me.“You did what?” He asked quietly.“I know. I didn’t know how it happened.” The words rushed out before I could stop them. “He was just talking and talking. About you, about Chase, about some…girls, and about how Chase would have beaten you up, and I was so mad, I didn’t even know—” “Sydney.”I was panting slightly by the time I stopped and looked at him, the observation log suffering under my grip.But Tyler just looked at me for another second, like he was still processing it.That blank expression making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.Was he just stunned, or was it something else?I wanted to run away.“Say something.” I said instead, my voice tiny.“I’m…surprised,” he scoffed under his breath. “You never hit anyone.” “I know. It just…he wouldn’t shut up and...”“Didn’t know you had it in you,” he shrug
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 196
SydneyThe hallway was nearly empty when I walked out of the classroom.My feet felt like jelly, my left wrist still stinging from squeezing my bag strap over my shoulder, the feel of my left palm connecting with Dean’s face still lingering as I walked.The strange feeling in my chest refused to leave too. Instead, something else joined it. Something close to fear, I didn’t want to acknowledge.But I knew getting out of the school building was the safest option at that point, no matter how satisfied I felt inside.My phone buzzed in my back pocket, and I reached for it without thinking.Maeve’s name flashed across the screen.“You planning to go home today?”I bit my lower lip, the thought of how she’d react the second I told her what I’d done making my hand tremble slightly.Still, I managed to type. “On my way out.” Then hit send.“Coach wants to see all of us.”“Now?”“Yeah. Now.”I turned before I could stop myself, catching Chirag and one of the juniors who’d appeared in front of
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 195
SydneyThe thought made me feel almost sick. And wished even more that I’d listened to Maeve.But I turned away anyway, tried to focus on the teacher’s voice instead of more whispers moving around me about the game and then the kickback.Because just the little I’d heard had already taken enough space in my mind.And watching Tyler move around like such a zombie, the topic of most of the whispers moving around without his usual careless attitude, was one of the most painful things I’d had to experience.He just looked…tired.Was he actually sick?I found myself asking when he clearly avoided meeting my eyes during lunch, talking to a few of the guys who seemed to be getting less heat over the loss.And by the time the last bell rang, I was sitting alone in class, my hands pulled all the way into my sweatshirt as Maeve’s words rang in my head.“Ignoring it never made anyone feel better, babe.”“Tomorrow.” I muttered into the empty classroom, my eyes on the board like I was physically t
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 194
SydneyThere could’ve been only two reasons I eventually opened the group chat that night. One: by mistake.Or two: Maeve called me a few minutes past nine while I was halfway drowned in essays and schoolbooks, trying to shut out everything else.Yep. You guessed right.Apparently, she’d already texted me a thousand times. And when I didn’t respond, she called instead.“Group chat. Now.” Then she hung up.I felt my stomach sink somewhere beneath the chair I was sitting in. Because if I was being honest with myself, that was exactly what I’d been avoiding all day.Still, I skipped to the group and opened it with slightly trembling hands. And the first thing I saw made my heart drop next.They’d lost the game.My fingers tightened around the phone as I scanned the other messages, most of which my brain didn’t bother registering.It didn’t have to.“Maybe it’s for the best. Maybe that one wasn’t for them. I mean, you lose some, you win some, right?” I tried telling myself in the bathroo

Tyler“Do you know what that cost him? Cost us?”“We almost lost eligibility.”“What is wrong with you?”“Tyler, come on, man!”“You need to control yourself.”“Sinclair!”“What did you do?” Cheers, lights. Clapping I think?“What’s going on?”“Sinclair!”“Michael’s down. Not you too, please.”“By the time we get there, forget everything else. Focus!”I tried, I prayed. I tried to keep my head up.Play. That was what I was supposed to do “... definitely not worth risking your career!”“Dude, look at me.” I think that was Aaron. All up in my face, my vision clearing slightly. “We’re doing this…all of us.”“Okay.” I swallowed. “Alright.”There was a locker room—didn’t look familiar at all. Dean was glaring at me from the corner while the guys cheered around us.They were chanting something about Grayson, but it sounded distant.Coach walked in again.He glared at me, his eyes fixed on me while he addressed the entire thing about the game.The game…yeah, the game.I couldn’t feel my e
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 1
Sydney Being Sydney Walker had never been easy. Not when I was little. Not now, as you’re reading this. At first, I was just that antisocial, nerdy girl who never put up her hand in class even when she knew an answer, who never looked anyone in the eye in the hallway, the girl who ran home the s
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 5
Tyler I didn’t even want to come in the first place. Michael’s parties were always predictable—crowded house, expensive liquor stolen from his parent’s wine cellar, music loud enough to make you go deaf. Same faces, same people in silly costumes, thirsty for some recognition. The only reas

Sydney Two days after I had ketchup stuck to my butt, the gossip grew louder. No one whispered anymore or tried to hide their mouth when they spoke, or cared if I was right there. “I still can’t believe she’s Brooklyn Prescott’s sister.” “Yeah, talk about differences. Are you sure they’re
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 3
Tyler “Sydney Walker,” I’d repeated all day in my head. And the moment Brooklyn yelled my name, running toward me on the basketball court, and I found out that that curvy genius she hadn’t stopped blabbing about all week was her sister— Everything shifted. I swear I’m not a bully. I’ve neve
