“Why you’re riding the goalie’s big stick so much,” she said.
“That’s not happening anymore,” I said.
“What are you talking about?” Eva asked.
“It’s done,” I said.
“You broke up with Maverick?” Zoe asked.
“Don’t say that out loud!” I yelled.
I groaned and grabbed both Zoe and Eva and hurried to thesecret hallwaywhere Maverick and I had met more than once.
“What happened?” Eva asked.
“It was too risky,” I said. “Way too risky. We both knew it.”
“You both agreed to this?” Zoe asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. “I said what I said to him.”
“What does that mean?” Eva asked.
“Look, more than one player knows about us now. I can’t have that. It’s too much. You know what happened before, right?”
“Madison,” Zoe said.
“No, it’s fine,” I said. “I should talk about it. You two have brought it up how many times and I shut you both down.”
“Don’t do it here,” Eva said.
“I have to do it,” I said. “I have to say it and talk about it. Or else it’ll be on my mind and keep happening.”
They both opened their mouths and I stopped them.
“Look, the last time really sucked, right? What did I do? I slept with the goalie of a hockey team and everything got messed up. Right?”
Zoe and Eva both frowned.
“What?” I asked.
They both looked down.
That’s when I…
I quickly spun around.
I covered my mouth.
Maverick was standing there.
And he heard everything I had said.
