All Chapters of 15 Days Babysitting For My Star Quarterback Bully: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

TYLERMy phone starts to ring the second I shut the door to my car. I stare at the screen and scowl at the displayed name before answering.“Hey.”“Tyler.” My father’s deep voice fills the speaker. “I got your message about the diagnosis. We will get a second opinion.”Somehow, he manages to be dismissive and final at the same time. I already knew he’d say exactly this when I texted to tell him what the doctor said yesterday, but it still makes my hackles rise.My fingers curl around the strap of my bag as I head towards the school entrance. “The doctors weren’t just guessing, Dad. They ran tests.”“So? You can move the arm now, can’t you?”I stare down at the arm that had given me a scare just yesterday. It was fully recovered two hours after Lila left the house. “Yes, but…”“The only thing that matters,” Dad starts. “…is that the scouts were at your game yesterday and they noticed you.”Of course, that’s all he cares about.“I was told you played like a beast,” he continues. “You ca

Heads start to turn the minute we pull into the parking lot.Not that I blame them; I should have known better than accepting Tyler’s offer to pick me up at home and drive me to school.I watch as students walking toward the entrance start to slow down, their conversations trailing off when they see me in his car. Some of them immediately whip out their phones, tilting them subtly in our direction like they’re texting. But I know I’ll find pictures and videos of us on the seniors’ forum soon enough.My stomach twists as I remain frozen in my seat while staring at the familiar brick building in front of us. “I should have taken a sick day,” I mutter more to myself.Beside me, Tyler cuts the engine and leans back, completely unbothered b

Tyler’s POVI’ve concluded, in the past few days, that the little ping from my phone is my favorite sound. Which is why my lips split into a grin the second I get another text from Lila.“How are the twins today?” she asks, even though she was here just yesterday to hang out with them.We’ve been texting nonstop on days when we don’t get to see each other, and I’ve never been happier. Lila has a way of making me feel at peace and quietening the constant cacophony of voices in my head, even though she likes to disagree whenever I tell her.I swivel slightly toward the dining table behind me to see the twins arguing with the new babysitter about math homework. Well, Sophie is arguing. Lucas is busy taking

Maya notices something is wrong before I even sit down.“Why do you look like someone stole your soul?” She asks as soon as I drop my food tray on the table. Slumping into the chair across from her, I let out a loud groan that has her raising her eyebrows. “You didn’t answer my texts this morning,” she says, stabbing a fry with an intensity that rattles her plate. “What’s going on?”I stare my sandwich down like it personally offended me and shrug. “I didn’t have anything to say.”Maya's blue eyes narrow as she leans forward. “Did something happen?”My mouth opens, and I consider brushing it

Avoid Tyler at all costs.That’s the mantra I keep repeating in my head as I head to PE with Maya. Considering the gym is huge and Mr. Daniels likes to split the class into groups, it shouldn’t be such a hard task.I just have to remain on the opposite side of the gym from Tyler at all times and pretend that he doesn’t exist. Easy peasy.However, my plan is quickly foiled when I feel Tyler’s eyes on me as soon as I step into the gym. Ignoring the feeling, my sneakers squeak faintly against the polished floor as I head toward the far bleachers where Maya is already sitting.“Hey,” she says, concern on her face as she looks me over. “How did your talk go?”
