Chapter Twenty-Seven
Archer
@therealrossdevlin Glad I’m out on tour. #nodramahere #justthebandandtheopenroad #theplaylisters
Me: Why are you friending Kassidy?
Ross: Didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to.
Me: You know I like her, man.
Ross: I’m not going after her.
Me: Then why send her a friend request?
Ross: I didn’t. She requested me.
Me: Great. I’m dating another Tiffany.
Ross: Kassidy’s not like Tiffany.
Me: Seems like it.
Ross: She just wanted to thank me for the tickets.
Me: That’s all?
Ross: Yeah. She said you two had a good time.
Me: We did.
Ross: She really likes you, man. Don’t screw this up.
Me: Okay.
…
Ella: Your brother and Kassidy, huh?
Me: They’re just friends.
Ella: If you say so.
…
Tiffany: You got mad at me for talking to Ross, but not Kassidy?
Me: That’s different.
Tiffany: Is it?
…
Kassidy: If you’re bothered by it, I can unfriend Ross.
Me: No, it’s cool.
Kassidy: You sure?
Me: You said it’s no big deal, right?
Kassidy: Right.
Me: Then no worries.
Kassidy: K. You still coming to my track meet?
Me: Told you I was.
Kassidy: I know. Just wanted to make sure.
Me: I’ll be there.
Kassidy: Thanks. Sophie has to work and my parents have to leave early.
Me: I’ll stay the entire time.
Kassidy: You will?
Me: Depends.
Kassidy: On what?
Me: The length of your shorts.
Kassidy: Shut up.
Me: I’m kidding…sort of.
Kassidy: You’re bad.
Me: Of course I’ll stay.
Archer Devlin
Heading out to the Oakhollow High Cross-country Track Meet.
Kassidy Milton I’m so nervous.
Archer Devlin Don’t be. You’ll do great.
Kassidy Milton I hope so.
Alex Trombone Kassidy, I’ve seen you run. I agree with Archer. You’ll do great.
Kassidy Milton Aww, thanks Alex.
…
Mac: Better watch out. Looks like Alex Trombone is moving in on your girl.
Me: I’m not worried.
Mac: Dude has a reputation of being pretty free with his trombone, if you know what I mean.
Me: It was pretty spelled out, man.
