The funny part was - I was telling the truth about Fi.
She and I were just hanging out.
It was fun to be near her.
She wasn’t like anyone else I met before.
These other girls worried so much about their hair and clothes and acted in such a weird way at times. Which I totally understood. Everyone our age was worried about everything. Carefully walking that tightrope into what appeared to be adulthood.
I left Murph’s garage and drove fast.
Really fast.
If I couldn’t booze it up, then at least I’d be able to drive fast.
Take my anger out that way.
A short while later I waited for Fi to show up with Maggie.
Maggie was the only other person in the world who knew about Fi and I chilling together.
This was a big risk.
Remi was my best damn friend in the world.
Overprotective of his sister, which I understood.
But I wasn’t out to fool around with Fi and leave her behind.
Remi would never understand that though.
It was just one of those things.
I had known Fi forever.
I’d known her as long as I’d known Remi.
And I wasn’t sure what was happening between us.
Just hanging out. Talking. Cruising.
Telling dumb jokes.
Flirting a little.
Last time, I kissed her cheek when I said goodbye.
Just to feel it all out.
No big deal, right?
As I sat in my car, I got a text.
From Polanin himself.
Good to know the bench will be nice and warm for me when I get a break. No hard feelings though, Riff. I’ll make you a deal. When I get signed, I’ll make sure the team hires you to clean the toilets in the arena I play in.
“Fucker,” I growled. “You stupid… fucker…”
