Head back to Jeff

As they passed, I realized something I hadn’t really wanted to admit.

What happened back at the dorm hadn’t been a one-time thing.

Ariana and Chase were still sneaking around behind Jeff’s back. Apparently, they had gotten pretty comfortable with it.

I waited until they were gone before finally making my way toward the bathrooms. Afterward, I headed back to our spot in the stands.

Jeff was still there, watching the game.

A few minutes later, Ariana came back.

“Everything okay?” Jeff asked.

“Yeah,” she said casually. “The line was pretty long.”

I nodded and kept watching the game.

A few minutes after that, Chase returned with a snack in his hand.

“Made it back before halftime,” he said.

Jeff laughed. “Barely.”

Chase took his place at the end of our little line, and we all turned our attention back toward the field.

I stood there next to Jeff, keeping what I’d just seen to myself.
