Chapter 30: Theo

Without rolling over, I asked his shadow, “Why are you awake still?”

Even though my voice was barely above a whisper, it sounded extraordinarily loud. Klein missed whatever chord was next in the song he was playing and his guitar protested.

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to wake you up.” It was the most he’d said to me in three days.

I rolled onto my back and looked up at the ceiling. “Well, you did, so you might as well tell me why you can’t sleep.” I had practice in the morning and a game after school, as well as a tournament coming up, but there would be no getting back to sleep until I knew why he was sulking and acting even more forlorn than usual. If he was waiting for an apology, he was going to be disappointed. He was the one who kissed me. And he was the one who interrupted what was going down with Mac. I hadn’t done anything I needed to be sorry about or owed an apology for.
