Ethan
As we made our way up to the lunch line, I saw Morgan standing with her two friends. She looked agitated by whatever the one girl was saying to her.
Jason nudged me and nodded towards the three girls I’d already seen. I just waved him off like it was no big deal, but kept her in my side vision just to see what she was doing.
Our group sort of cut the line in front of other students who’d probably been standing there awhile, but I wanted to get closer to hear what Morgan and the other girl were talking about. Of course with the guys being obnoxiously loud and Morgan’s friend whispering, I couldn’t really make out too much of the conversation.
For the next five minutes, I tried lip-reading and found out my skill wasn’t very good. I could only make out certain words, mainly the word no was used a lot.
Morgan knew I was there, she looked right at me. I tried to be as friendly as I could, shit I probably even looked like a total g

Yay, the bell finally rang for us to end the day. I gathered up my stuff and bolted out the door. I had to get down to the lower level and make sure that everything was ready for our meeting.“Morgan, wait up.”I heard my name being called, I knew whose voice it belonged to. Maybe if I got to the room quick enough, I could lock the door and pretend I hadn’t heard him.Okay, that was being a little too immature. I needed to step up and do what I needed to do.I turned around when I got closer to the meeting rooms and saw him. Ethan got a lot of strange stares as he shouted and chased after me. It was kinda weird because usually it was the opposite way around and he’s is the one being hunted and tracked.My eyes traveled from his shoes to the top of his hair taking in every inch of his body along the way. He was well-conditioned, and it showed by the lack of exertion he had to use to catch me walking at a

Ethan was parked two rows away from my car, a newer model Kia that was a dark green color. It was Clarissa’s hand-me-down car that was given to me after she got her convertible.Ethan’s car was an older Mazda. It was a faded blue color with chipped paint all along the sides.Ethan opened the door to his car. “Just follow me, okay.”I nodded and walked over to my own car. As soon as I got in and settled, Ethan spun tire out of the parking lot.I followed behind. He only lived a short distance from the school, so the whole overall drive took less than ten minutes.There were two cars parked in the driveway of the home that I would’ve never thought belonged to his family. It was slightly run down with lots of half-torn apart engines and appliances spread about the side yard.The home itself was a small vinyl-sided one-story that looked like it could use a painting or two. Like Ethan’s car, the color was

I watched as Morgan interacted with Hope. I liked to leave my personal home life out of the spotlight. It was too complicated to try and explain to everyone that came over, which was only a few guys from the team.But I don’t know, Morgan was different.She was a no question just go with the flow type of girl, something the Hawkettes weren’t. Hope seemed to like her, which was a rare event. She was even worse than me when it came to being friends with people. I was friendly, but only on the surface. I never really let anyone get too close. Hope had one friend that she liked to hang around with, but other than that she kept to herself.It was too hard for her to try and explain what the hell was going on at our house on some days, so she opted to keep everyone away like I did. But she seemed to have taken a liking to Morgan, which I couldn’t blame her. I just wish this all could’ve been done under different circumstances and not the reason

After I’d got done talking to Ethan’s adorable little sister, he finally invited me inside. He walked really fast, and I had no idea where he was leading me, but it was evident that Ethan didn’t want to be around his parents right now.It was such a different atmosphere here than at my own house. There weren’t any lights on, no one came to welcome us back home, and it smelled like old beer and cigarette smoke. Not that I’d ever done any of those things, but it was a smell that I couldn’t forget from a party that my aunt had last summer.Ethan opened another door and waved me on through. The light flickered on, and I saw that he had brought me to his bedroom.The well-kept, clean room was not one that I expected to see. The bed was made and had a fresh dark blue comforter nicely folded down to show three large pillows. There was a computer desk off to the side with a wooden chair pushed underneath. A flat-screen TV sat on a bla

“Cool.” I dug my car keys out of the front pocket of my jeans. I knew that there would probably be the team and Hawkettes still hanging out at the pizza shop, so that was a no-go to place right now. “Grabbing burgers good?” There was a place past the central part of town that I’d sometimes gone to when I wanted to get away from everyone; family, team, and the girls who followed.“Okay. I’ll follow you.” Morgan got into her car and waited for me to get going in mine. Once again, she followed me not knowing exactly where we were heading off to. *

‘What can I have that won’t make me look like a hog going out to eat at the trough?’I scanned the menu one last time before making my final decision.“Yeah, I think I will get the single cheeseburger.” I put my menu back down as Ethan motioned for the waitress to come over.The waitress was an older lady, maybe around my mom’s age. It seemed the kids from school either wanted to work at the pizza place or nowhere at all. The other food places around the town relied on middle-aged or older people who were looking for extra money or a second job to keep up with employee status.I gave the lady my order and looked over to Ethan who was waiting his turn. He ordered double of everything that he wanted and told the waitress to bag up the second portions.“Food for later?” I questioned him after the waitress had left, about the double cheeseburger, a large order of fries, and onion ring

I quickly shook my head no. “He’s never hit us. He’s threatened to do so, but never has.”I didn’t want Morgan to think that Hope was in any danger. I would probably take him out myself if he would ever hit my mom or little sister.“He’s just an angry drunk. He likes to drink after work then get a mouth on him. The bangs you heard were probably another thing getting broke. My mom screams back at him, don’t know why because it gets him riled up even more, but she keeps it going.” I shook my head at the many scenarios that flashed through my mind of all the past fights. “They both need some serious help. They feed off each other to see how far they can push the other.” Another big bite and the double-loaded cheeseburger was gone.“What about your real dad?”I shrugged. “What about him?” I took the napkin and wiped off any bits of food that might be stuck to the sides o

The following morning, I spent a little more time on my overall appearance. I tried to remind myself that it was because of the mini-debate that was going on after school, but I knew deep down it had to do with Ethan. It seemed that our little get-together last night sparked something inside of me that I tried to shield myself from all during high school, the charm and the ways of the Ethan Lowry.I went into the kitchen to tell mom I was leaving. She looked at me in a way that she’d only given to Clarissa.“Did you do something different with your hair?”Seemed mom noticed that I was dressed up a bit more than usual and had even taken the time to fix my hair and make-up.“I just…uh…left it loose instead of pulling it back. Why? Does it look bad?”I put back the blueberry muffin and picked up an apple instead. I placed it in a Ziploc and tossed it inside of my backpack with all the other junk tha
