Too Big to Fit. Chapter 51
SydneyI hate me. I hate my stupid brain. I hate that stupid thing that usually kicks in; always craving that stupid sense of belonging. I hate Chase. I hate Dean. I hate my body. I miss my Dad…so much.God, I could still remember that day back at Newston.I remembered walking through the field, my head down, my stomach twisted from Chase apologizing for “mixing up” the pool party date. It sounded strange in my ears because he wasn’t drunk when he texted me.But me? As foolish and desperate as I was—waiting for the day I’d finally be invited to one of my boyfriend’s famous pool parties, I didn’t think twice.I’d dug out that red bikini from where I’d hidden it from my Dad, threw it on under my hoodie and jeans and took the bus straight to his house. But when I got there, the place was empty.No music, no drinks, no laughter.In fact, only Chase was home that day. And the house…a few things were missing from where they originally used to be.But I ignored it.“Oops, did I say t

TylerSecond half of classes was war.And I tried. I really tried to keep my head straight—give the classes my undivided attention.But somehow my mind kept drifting, my brows drawn together. And I couldn’t count how many times I stopped myself from wondering how Sydney was doing back there.“No one?” the teacher’s voice cut through. “Not even you, Sinclair?”I heard it, but my brain didn’t register it at first.“Sinclair!” The voice was sharper now.I lifted my head, suddenly aware of my surroundings—eyes had turned my way, staring expectantly at me.But the teacher’s was the most piercing. That frown etched across her wrinkled face like it belonged there.“I’m sorry, ma’am.” I straightened in my seat. “What was the question?”She stepped forward slowly, her eyes never leaving my face as she folded her arms. “You weren’t listening, were you?” Her voice was low, but it still made me swallow.I looked down at my book, staring at the circle I’d been tracing over and over again until th

TylerCoach put me in charge of practice that day.Well, not full practice—just running the bench players through plays for Friday while he handled stuff at Redwood.Still counted.We ditched lunch for the gym once more and went straight to business. And in no time, we were all locked in—the sharp squeak of sneakers on polished wood, the thud of basketball hitting the floor, the guys laughing or calling out when something clicked. You know, that ease that comes with being in the one place that shuts everything else up.And for the first twenty minutes, it worked.“Again,” I said, tossing the ball to one of the second-string guys. “You hesitate like that during a game, you’re done before you even start.”He nodded quickly, already out of breath.And even though I knew I sounded a little too much like coach at that moment, I didn’t care.I’d listened to him bark Sinclair for as long as I could remember.Felt right throwing it back.“Move your feet. Anticipate, don’t react.”He tried i

Sydney“Hey, eyes on where you’re going, alright?”My breath caught—partly aiming to reduce the choking scent of his cologne in my lungs.My eyes flew up, my jaw barely missing his chest as he stared down at me.Tyler.For a second, neither of us moved.We just stood there in that quiet hallway—tiny to no space between us, staring.My heart slammed hard in my ears, her fingers shoved up into my hoodie sleeve as I held them close to my chest.And I swear, I almost gave myself out to those steel-blue eyes.Almost blurted that he was right no matter how much I disliked him.Almost told him Dean was a bigger asshole and now didn’t feel safe sitting in that class anymore.I swallowed hard, then stepped back against my own will. Something shifted in his expression. A flicker—gone too fast to name.“Are you okay?” I paused.Because did Tyler Sinclair just ask me if I was okay?I blinked. Must be my imagination—I told myself. Or maybe my mind was just trying to fill the silence in the hall
Too Big to Fit. Chapter 47
Sydney They say third time’s the charm. You know…when you fail twice and try again, you might actually get it right the third time. But in my case? It wasn’t about getting it right. It was about finally seeing what I shouldn’t have ignored all along. And it took three times—three stupid chances, to realize everyone has been right about Dean.That night I had to sneak into the kitchen to grab some food so no one would see how swollen my eyes were.I grabbed two cans of chunked pineapples and peaches—hugged them to my chest like they could fix me, then slipped back upstairs as quietly as I could.But when I woke up the next day, it felt like I’d run into a wall. And even if I had, I couldn’t remember.All I remembered was dragging myself up from my bed with this throbbing headache while I prepared for school.Normally, I’d brush my teeth in the shower to avoid staring at my reflection in the mirror.But today, I stayed at the sink.I looked at myself.Stared at my face, my hair, the

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

TylerThe rest of the classes went exactly how you’d expect them to go—kids pretending to be interested in subjects when they clearly wanted to be anywhere else but stuck in a room where strange “words of knowledge” were being forced into their heads.But me?My mind was doing a full see-saw, bounc

Sydney Well, so much for trying to blend in and trying to be like the girls at school, all while hoping Tyler Sinclair would like me. Maeve and I had stopped by a café after school, and she bought me one of those fancy lattes Dad never really let me have. “And Kate went straight into the wate

SydneyThe moment the lights came back on, everyone turned. And I just stood there, wine dripping from my hair down to my feet with the shattered pieces of the oversized goblet resting at my feet.I couldn’t move nor breathe properly. How could I when every eye was on me, staring at how the wine h
