Too Big to Fit. Chapter 36
BrooklynI had no idea how many shots I shoved down my throat that night. Or how everybody eventually found their way out of Mom’s house.All I could remember were flashes, lights, the music, people yelling my name, phones in my face, arms around me, and then Micheal.Micheal pulling the covers over me, his fingers brushing my cheek before he pressed a soft kiss to my lips.“Happy birthday, B,” he’d whispered, like I wasn’t a complete mess.Such a darling.Who knew being so lightheaded could actually feel…fun?I stretched on my bed the next morning, not bothering with my dress lying in the corner, a lazy smile on my lips as the party flooded back.The music, the way people showed up never forgetting to not outdo me on my own night.And they’d obeyed instructions too.To keep their filthy mouths shut when they saw my sister.Because, yeah, I knew she’d show up.Perfect.And everything went better than I thought—way better.And the gifts?I turned slightly, my eye landing on the box si
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 35
SydneyThe party ended not long after the boys sped off—engines loud, laughter louder, as they headed to some court on the outskirts of the city.Leaving the house exactly how you’d expect every party to end.Messy. Looked like a crime scene if you looked quickly.Cups were everywhere, glitter scattered across the living room floors, like some pixie had thrown up. A few kids were even passed out in the corner like decorations no one asked for.Luckily, Brooklyn had planned ahead.She’d called cleaning service. Even people to deal with kids too drunk to stand on their own, let alone find the door.Because there was no way Mom was coming back from her trip to meet a bunch of teenagers snoring around in her house.As for me?I woke up the next morning with my head pounding. Which made no sense because I’d had only one cup of punch.Maybe it was the music.Maybe it was Dean.Or maybe it was my overthinking brain that refused to shut up, replaying Tyler’s face over and over like I could f
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 34
SydneyMy heart sank the moment I caught his eyes, my breath catching halfway, like I might choke.“Hi, fatty.” He said, with that familiar grin on his face. And it shouldn’t have affected me. But it did.Because this wasn’t Dean across the hallway with his teammates, laughing loudly from a distance at something Tyler had said.This wasn’t the lab, with goggles and lab coats, and something to hide behind.This was Dean right beside me—close enough that I could smell the gum in his breath. That if I shifted even a little, my arm resting against the counter would brush his.My finger tightened around my cup as I pushed the strand of hair from my face, my eyes darting around the kitchen.People were watching.Not all of them.But enough to make my skin prickle like I’d been dragged onto a stage.They were probably wondering why a basketball player had slid into the seat beside me. Talking to me.“Hey,” Dean snapped lightly, waving a hand in front of my face. “Eyes on me, nerd.” My gaze
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 33
SydneyI could have bet on Maeve’s second drink that the party might actually go well the moment Brooklyn grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the banner for pictures.And yeah, I still wasn’t sure where I was when I walked into the party.Mom’s house was packed. People were everywhere. Staring.Looking at me like I was some strange thing that had walked into their space by mistake.Heat crawled up my spine where I stood, my stomach doing that thing it did when it felt like eyes were about to peel me open.Then there were the whispers, and I swear I almost bailed.But Brooklyn bounced right in front of me. “Sydney, you came!” she said, holding my hand like it was something we did everyday.She was dazzling—stunning in a way that was unmatched, her makeup even prettier up close.Perfect.I just nodded, not knowing what to expect. Maeve stayed right behind me like an angel, or bodyguard. Or both. Probably hoping for some scene where she could rip someone’s dress into shreds.“You l

TylerEveryday’s all about Brooklyn Prescott.That one just came with loud music, less popular girls trying too hard to be seen around her, and her “friends” praising her like it was a performance.And what kind of friend would I be to not go all out at the last minute?—even if it meant letting Micheal and Aaron set me up with Sadie McGuire.“Do you really want to do that?” Sadie had asked, when Micheal practically yelled it out after school. I just shoved my hands into my pocket and shrugged, leaning against her car. “It’s just for the cameras.” I said.Because it was.She glanced at her phone, already bored. Then she flipped her hair. “Sure. Whatever.” And that was how I ended up in my mom’s car, with Sadie McGuire in the passenger’s seat.And even then, I wished Micheal had picked someone else.Her.Even as a joke.When we made our loud entrance in Anna Prescott’s driveway, I swear, I was focused.I told myself I was there to support Brooklyn—my friend, and my best friend’s girl

SydneyI swear, my breath left me.‘Tyler drives?’ was the first thing that came to mind. Probably to distract myself from the girl who’d just stepped out of the car like she belonged to a different world.“Oh my God, that’s Tyler!” someone screamed from somewhere, and I’m pretty sure she fainted after.What?“That’s Sadie,” Maeve scoffed beside me. “What are they now? Dating?” ‘Dating.’ The word echoed in my head, loud and heavy, my eyes refusing to move from them.Something stuttered in my chest.Tyler…was with another girl.‘What? You thought he’d be with you? Be real, Sydney.’My chest ached as I watched Sadie pull out her phone, already filming. Perfect.The kind of girl people didn’t question. The kind that fits. And I just knew I couldn’t compete.That was Sadie McGuire, daughter of Will McGuire, who owned the largest refinery in the country.She was quiet, rich, untouchable. The kind Maeve called silent wealth.Of course Tyler had gone for someone who was as secretive as he

Tyler I noticed it on Monday.But I told myself to focus, take my mind off whatever had Sydney Walker in it, and just walk away.But the next day, though, it became a little more obvious, and there was no way I was going to ignore it.I didn’t even want to think about it before, but the idea of De

SydneyBy the end of school, I was sitting at my desk staring at my chemistry notebook like it carried a virus.And I could swear I’d never been so scared of a piece of paper in my life.The assignment was due tomorrow, and just during the last class, I’d realized Dean didn’t have a copy of the rea

SydneyThe weekend came and passed in just two minutes, and the next thing I knew, I was pulling the blanket off my mirror to take a peek at my hair, while getting ready for school.Yay.The talk with Mom had done something different in my chest. But like always, that feeling stopped right outside
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 18
SydneyThe next morning was a little too uneventful for a weekend—a day without school. The house was even quiet. No chatter from the kitchen, no Micheal, no Tyler, no Brooklyn…Wait, no Brooklyn?I slipped out of bed slowly, grabbing my phone as I walked out of the room, threading carefully towar
