Going the Distance
“Our cohesion came apart at the seams the very next game and was mostly my fault. I never called Cody that night, and in fact didn’t say one word to him until the next Monday. When he approached me and tried to ask me what had happened, I just made an excuse and headed to the office. I changed most of my schedule around so I didn’t have four classes with him anymore. That lunch I didn’t bother to show up at the table, instead eating in an empty classroom as I dodged the inevitable.
It came in the locker room as we changed for practice. The look of hurt and confusion on his face was like razor blades moving up my arm. I just ignored him as I tied my shoes and tried to slip away from him before everyone else walked out. As I turned away from him, I saw we were alone, and I cursed under my breath as he grabbed the back of my jersey.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” he asked, his voice laced with emotion.
I sighed and refused to turn around. “Someone saw us in the gym, dude.” His hand dropped away.
