“Okay. Well, say there was a guy, I’d tell you to go for it. Who knows? You could be missing out on the hottest, most epic love story of your life.”
Highly doubt it.
Turning the corner, we charge toward the locker room down thehall. Dia spots her new best friend barely two steps inside the changing room.
“Lacey!” Dia is off to meet my replacement in a heartbeat. We cut all ties with Finn and his buddies since the cheating disaster, but Lacey and Dia are still the best of friends. Yay!
Dia might’ve lost Finn, but she definitely didn’tlose her popularity. The numerous guys sliding into her DMs post-breakup made that clear. I pick a locker at random, shove my things inside, and pad into the first stall I can find to change into my gym clothes.
Dia’s words eat away at me.
You could be missing out on the hottest, most epic love story of your life.
While I don’t see Zac like that, she does have a point. I’ve missed out on a lot in my life. My dad, a relationship with my mom, boy stuff.
No more.
Collecting my courage, I unlock my phone, select his number, and begin to type.
Love:Hey, it’s L.
* * *
He never texted back. It’s been hours.
Hours.
He’s probably going all over town asking everyone if they have my number registered as we speak. Why did I have to send that stupid text? Also, why is Ashley taking so long to come out of her school? Her lesson should be over by now.
And why—
Ding!
I jerk in surprise.
He answered?
Zac:L who?
The moving dots pop at the bottom of the screen.
Zac:Lydia, Leonard? I’m going to need a bit more than that.
I wish I was the kind of girl to make a boy wait twice the time it took him to text her back, but it turns out I’m a reply-in-a-microsecond kind of gal.
Love:It’s Love, dumbass.
Love:Also, bet you don’t even know a guy named Leonard.
To my pleasant surprise, he texts back as quickly as I did.
Zac:I could.
Love:But you don’t.
Zac:But I could.
Love:Still don’t.
