Emma & Connor
I don’t know why, but wearing it tonight felt right, like I wanted her with me somehow.
“Emma!” Julie’s voice rang through the hall before I could close my locker.
She was walking toward me with Mia and James on either side — all three of them still in their cheer and sports gear, laughing about something. Julie’s ponytail bounced perfectly, not a strand out of place.
“You look nice,” she said with a bright smile. “Going somewhere?”
“Yeah, just to the bonfire,” I said, trying not to sound too nervous.
“Oh, right,” she said, her tone light but something in her eyes flickered for a second. “Connor’s group is going, right? Chelsea too?”
