What it is about
Everyone at school knew I was Jax Anderson’s biggest admirer.
I’d bring him breakfast, take notes for him. Once, when he sprained his ankle playing basketball, I even knelt down to tie his shoelaces.
Until that day on the rooftop, when I heard him say:
“Lily Hayes? She’s clingy as hell, impossible to shake off.”
“When it’s time to apply for college, I’ll tell her I’m applying to A College. She’ll definitely enthusiastically follow suit.”
“Then, Serena Chen and I can just go to C College.”
His friend asked, “You’re just going to keep leading her on?”
