Chapter 52 - FIFTY TWO
- KILLIAN -
It’s the d-day. The game is finally here and seats are getting occupied by home students and the school professors, guests and the opposing team. Certain board members have their own seats in the stadium and everyone seems to be getting cozy.
I feel better. I’ve been on medication and haven’t done anything stressful for the past week so despite certain minor aches, I’m confident that I’m improving very nicely.
"Got popcorn." Liam says, walking to me. I stared at him with a brow raised. Did I forget to add that I invited him? Not by choice, obviously. Liam wanted to come.
"Need I remind you I’m the coach. I won’t be sitting with you nor will I have time to snack."
"Who said I got them for you?" Liam smirks and puts some popcorn in his mouth. I scoff, looking away.
I ran my eyes around the stadium, hoping to find someone. Certainly one week is enough time. Hazel didn’t text me back but that doesn’t mean I’m backing off.
"Looking for someone?" Liam’s voice slid in my ears, followed by the munching of popcorn.
"Nothing that concerns you." I said, ignoring him.
"Great. In that case, I’ll just pop in that seat over there to view the game." He nudges my shoulder as he walks in front of me, pointing his head in a direction. My body froze as I followed his gaze and my throat clenched. Hazel just walked in there and was preparing to sit down. By her left is Kaiden.
They look so happy and seem to hit it up nicely that I’m jealous. It’s so fucking infuriating knowing she’s out there with another man while ghosting me. Hazel points forward, giggling, and Kaiden looks in that direction. He whispers something to her and she laughs in response. Liam has never seen Hazel before face to face but it’s hard to imagine he just happened to find her coincidentally. I exhaled, trying to avoid thinking about the possibilities of what he did. My eyes drifted to Hazel’s other side. The seat by her right is empty.
