Ok I know the last one was confusing and probably a little weird but I love baseball, so hey, I'm weird and hopefully you get it after this quick chapter.
I walked into school on Monday nervous about seeing Jonah. Todd had told him the secret we had sworn not to tell each other's "significant others": our uncle was Theo Epstein. Yes, the general manager of the Boston Red Sox. Which meant we got the coolest seats whenever we wanted. We promised not to tell because we did at our first school, and that definitely didn't go over well. Everyone wanted to be our friend, but for all the wrong reasons. So we made a pact to keep it to ourselves. And I just knew that if Jonah mentioned it once, I would break up with him. Because I did not want to spend the rest of our relationship hearing him ask if I had tickets to the game tonight. Clearly he was a big fan, he got the updates on his phone and everything. So yea. I sighed as I approached his locker, also not sure about the whole being his girlfriend thing. Was I supposed to kiss him?
"Claire!" he said once I arrived at our pre designated meeting spot. He gave me a hug, but backed off afterwards, kind of like he was unsure what to do. Then he walked me to class holding my hand, and I thanked him in my head for not mentioning anything.
Maybe I spoke/thought to soon. Once we arrived at my first class, he turned to me and said, "I just want you to know that Todd did talk to me at the baseball game. And I want to know that it doesn't change how I feel about you or our relationship or anything." He leaned in to kiss me, and my lips met his. It was sweet, and I totally changed my mind. Not breaking up with him. I turned and went into class smiling. I dropped a casual "hey" to Josh, trying to be friendly , before sitting down in my assigned seat which was unfortunately between Massie and Derrick. She came in semi late, as always, and gave me a look I couldn't quite decipher. It was a mix of hatred, proudness, and mischief. I suddenly stiffened, because I was certain that look meant she had some sort of plan.
So yea. When I started this story, I planned it to be a lot different and have it be known much earlier that she was his niece (PS I don't own Theo Epstein or any of the red sox or whatever) and that's why she's so redsox-y in the beginning . But it took a different direction than I thought it would but I still wanted to add part of the original idea. Let me know if I should delete the last two chapters and continue the story differently and make a totally different story with my original idea. I am totally open to any suggestions about it too.
