Playing the Field
“I wondered how Tony would act toward me. The truth was that while I didn’t want to fight with him anymore, I didn’t exactly want to apologize to him either. What would I say I was sorry for? I just wanted to forget yesterday ever happened.
When I got to the ball field, Tony walked over to me and nodded toward the bleachers. “Adam the Magnificent, Mr. Baseball himself, is here to watch us play.”
I looked up and saw Jenna with a tall blond guy.
“Jenna is paying me five dollars not to blow her cov...er,” he said, “but that doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them.”

Coach Manetti called us over to do our warm-ups, and I didn’t think about Jenna and Adam again. We played a good game and won by four runs. While Tony and I were putting equipment in the back of the Manetti’s Silverado, Jenna and Adam sauntered up next to us.MoreLess
