Chapter 43

Jeff

So that’s what happened.

That’s how Scooter ruined my life. He stole every part of it. Football—my starting spot and scholarship. And my escape from football—Morgyn.

And that brings us to right now.

Game time.

We get the ball first. We line up in the I formation, just as I agreed to do. More specifically, I line up as fullback. I agreed to do that too.

But that was before.

Before Coach filled me in on Scooter’s betrayal.

Before I witnessed his betrayal firsthand at Morgyn’s.

So you can understand if blocking for Scooter isn’t exactly high on my priority list right now. Since my teammates know what he did to me, I don’t think it’s high on their priority list either.
