Josh had come to get me after his game and I had locked up the snack bar on the way out since Mallory had already left the park to go home.
We were just walking around and talking casually about school and our families, but then the conversation was totally turned around.
“So are you going to Lucy Stevens’ end of school party this year?” he asked. It had totally slipped my mind that school was almost over and then I remembered last year’s party at Lucy’s house…

I felt myself catch my breath suddenly, “I think I have to go.”
“No, wait! I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought it up!” Josh said.
“You’re not sorry. You didn’t even care after I left that night!” I cried and then glanced around until my eyes landed on Josh’s arm. I noticed he was wearing long sleeves again.
“I did care,” he told me after an awkward silence, “if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have…”
I cut him off, “Wouldn’t have what? Made out with Chelsea right behind my back?”
“You don’t even know…”
“What? What don’t I know?”
