“No, of course not, but this is bullshit. She has it out for me. I can’t believe you’re taking her side.”
“I’m not taking anyone’s side. I just woke up. Can you give me a minute to start thinking clearly? Jocelyn is my friend, and I don’t think she would do this. Did she use her name?”
“Well, no, she’s not dumb, but I’m sure it’s her. She threatened me at your apartment a couple times too. I told you I was afraid of her. I wasn’t fucking kidding.”

“I’m going to go,” she said.
“Why?”

“Maybe we should take a break for a few days.”
She glanced up from the screen of her phone, her brow furrowed in confusion.
“I’m just saying I have a lot going on. With all this social media bullshit, I’m sure Coach is going to be up my ass. And you have class…”
“No, it’s fine,” she said, cutting me off. “Later, Austin.”
While I didn’t want her to leave angry, I said nothing as she opened my door and left. What the hell just happe
