Offside
“But they didn’t have any classes together. The only time Faith might get her alone would be before or after the game that night. But first, Faith had to get through the rest of this horrible day.
As she walked out of English class, it crossed her mind to skip school altogether. But her mom was home. Faith could fake being sick, but that was hard to pull off with a nurse for a mom.
Faith slunk late into every class, right after the bell rang. Keeping her head down, she listened for the snickers ...and taunts that would tell her if the photo had gone viral at school. To her relief, no one treated her any differently. In other words, they didn’t notice her at all.
At lunch, Faith sat at her favorite spot under some trees on the far side of campus. Pulling her backpack onto her lap, she pulled out a PowerBar from the stash she always kept. She also took out the photo. She’d considered tearing it up at least fifty times since her English class. It would be a disaster if it got into anyone else’s hands.MoreLess
