Out of Nowhere (2013)
“hadn’t shown up, I’d have been out there alone. That’s because freakin’ Donnie never appeared.
I drove to his house to collect him Saturday morning, but there were no signs of life. His mom’s car wasn’t in the driveway, and even though I banged on the door and called his cell, there was no answer. I figured maybe he’d gone to the high school, where everyone had planned to meet, but no. Don was either lying in a ditch somewhere or had just blown me off.
All I could think was that it had better be the former, ’cause if he wasn’t already dead, I was gonna kill him.
We were five cars in all, and as we pulled into the Maquoit High parking lot we could see a group already gathered at the rock. It wasn’t the football-stadium-sized crowd I had feared would show up, but big enough. Pretty much the whole Maquoit varsity soccer team. I recognized Alex Rhodes in the group.
We go back, Alex and I.
Four years ago, the summer between middle and high school, a soccer camp sponsored by Midcoast College.
