An Adventure in the Locker Room

8

After the incident, my relationship with Kevin suddenly grew closer.

We began to share our lives with each other.

The day before Thanksgiving Day, Kevin texted me, "Wanna come over for dinner tomorrow? Mom says she kinda misses you."

I sent a cute cat emoji in response, hesitated a bit, then asked, "What about you? Do you miss me?"

Kevin didn't answer, but replied, "Alex and Ethan will be coming over, and Jaxx said he'll follow your lead."

Alex and Ethan's home wasn't local.

Jaxx and I didn't really have a home. In past years, during holidays and such, Jaxx would come find me at high school, and then we'd just find a place to grab a bite.

After starting college, things seemed to get livelier.

"Count me in!"

On the day of Thanksgiving Day, Jaxx came to pick me up. We bought a bunch of flowers before paying a visit.

"Let me see who's the big shot?" The door opened, and Ethan stood in the entryway, ruffling my hair, "Oh, it's Dee."
