A/N: The last chapter I'm going to upload tonight. I have a Stats quiz tomorrow that will hopefully be as easy if not easier than I expect.
"Hi," Sarah greeted Jane, Kate echoing her half a beat later.
The girl gave the two a grin, smiling so hard her eyes almost disappeared.
Instantly the two's demeanors changed. "Hey, what's wrong?" the dark skinned girl asked, recognizing Jane's smile as a fake.
The petite girl shook her head and faced forward. Her two friends exchanged worried glances. "I'm just tired," she said, indeed sounding thoroughly exhausted.
Sarah took pity on the obviously distraught girl and changed the subject. "Today's match should be exciting."
"It should be just because of the visiting team," Kate grinned like a shark. "They were totally eyeing you when you came in, Janie."
The girl gave a noncommittal shrug. "Okay," she said to the other girl absentmindedly, looking at the entrance to the locker rooms.
"Tyler's still not mad at you is he?" Sarah asked, giving a small, relieved smile when the shorter girl shook her head. "That's great," she enthused.
Jane nodded. "Great," she echoed with a far off look in her eyes. She blinked rapidly when Reid stumbled out of the locker rooms, Tyler shoving him playfully. Her eyes almost looked over-bright but the other girls dismissed it as a result from the chlorine in the air. "Just perfect," she said in a tone neither girl could recognize.
Sarah sighed and tugged a strand of her blonde hair. "Its like a yaoi come to life." Inwardly she switched Reid for another snarky blonde and pictured Tyler with a scar on his forehead. She sighed again dreamily.
Kate's eyes narrowed at the sight of the two horsing around. Was it just her or did something seem off about the two? The air almost seemed like it was vibrating around them…
Jane sighed but couldn't bring herself to look away. She smiled when the boys waved at her, making sure not to smile too hard this time. The smile slid off her face when the two boys stopped looking at her and went back to their joking.
She released a shaky breath and in the humidity of the poolroom it came out as a cloud, hiding all of her face except for her eyes. She saw everything.
TBC.
