For more, look around for somebody who’s not going to hurt you all the time. “But I don’t want to move on! He’s such fun and so smart and good-looking and I just love him and if I could only control the way I feel when-” Can’t you see? It’s just that you’re fundamentally incompatible. There’s nothing wrong with you that you want that! And there’s also nothing wrong that he doesn’t. It’s not a problem that you want something more serious than Jeff does. But when Sarah said, “We both agreed from the start that we weren’t serious and Jeff’s right that it truly is my problem that I’m so jealous, not his, because he’s not doing anything wrong,” Lucy couldn’t help herself. Lucy listened patiently to all of it, even the parts she’d heard many times before. When they were side by side doing leg stretches, Sarah was finally able to talk. Lucy’s practice routine as a hurdler was different from Sarah’s distance training, but they always did as much together as they could. Then they walked out together toward the school’s track, moving to the infield to stretch. “There’ll be plenty of time to talk later if you want.” I’m the one with the problem.” Sarah made a little motion with her hand. Lucy found Sarah already changed and sitting on a bench by Lucy’s locker. And also, frankly, some basic common sense. No, she didn’t have experience, Lucy thought fiercely, but she did have years of understanding about who, exactly, Sarah was and what made her happy. Or any, really, if you didn’t count Gray Spencer, which you couldn’t, not yet, anyway. And it wasn’t like Lucy had a lot of experience to guide her friend with. Lucy hoped so.īut still, it was delicate. Maybe this time Sarah would have had it with him for good. Lucy had seen him at lunch period, leaning flirtatiously over an adorable freshman girl. Nothing and nobody, not even Jeff Mundy, got in the way of track practice.īecause of course this problem of Sarah’s would be about Jeff.
Then she hefted her backpack and headed to the girls’ locker room, where, she knew, Sarah would be. Ten minutes after the last class of the day, Lucy got a text message from her best friend, Sarah Hebert.
