“Oliver, wait a second.” Coach’s commanding voice brings me to a complete stop.

Shit, no.

I peer at him over my shoulder. “What’s up, Coach?”

“I’d like a word with you.” He marches toward his office and waves for me to follow.

This time is like every instance throughout high school. Coach doesn’t ask, he tells. But this time, I have to protest.

“Coach, I need to talk to Wren.”

“That can wait, Oliver.” He spins around, eyes sharpening on me. “This can’t.”
