There was a group of people at the edge of the snack bar lawn, standing in her view of the screen. People her age. Half of them were laughing. The other half were shushing. Someone dropped a drink and someone else squealed. More laughing and shushing. \u201cLet it go, Wyatt.\u201d \u201cShhh!\u201d<\/p>\n

Giggles. \u201cI am letting it go. I\u2019m\u2014\u201d That was Wyatt Hardy. Julia recognized his profile. She couldn\u2019t hear what he was saying. He turned and started walking away from the group. \u201cWyatt!\u201d a girl called. \u201cShhhh,\u201d another girl shushed. \u201cShut the hell up!\u201d some guy yelled from a car. Wyatt waved his arm at his friends, like he wanted to be left alone. The rest of them started walking toward the cars. One of the girls hung back, but then someone else pulled her along.<\/p>\n

Wyatt kept walking. A little too fast. Toward the snack bar. He was rubbing the back of his neck. Julia watched. He was wearing jeans and a button-down shirt over a T-shirt with their school mascot on it. A thunderbird. He got to the snack bar area and stopped just a few feet away from her, like he didn\u2019t know where he should go next.<\/p>\n

He just stood there for a minute\u2014fuming, it looked like. She\u2019d never seen him angry before. Or upset. Or even at a loss. Wyatt Hardy always seemed like he knew exactly where he was in the world. He was the sort of person who never flinched when a teacher called on him, even when he didn\u2019t have the answer.<\/p>\n

He rubbed the back of his neck again and looked around. He looked at Julia. Then his face changed. He looked a little surprised. Like something nice had just happened. He smiled at her. Then raised his hand to wave. Julia sat up taller in the swing. Feeling caught out. She waved back. Wyatt kept smiling. He had the biggest smile. He took a few steps toward her.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi,\u201d he said. \u201cHi,\u201d Julia managed. \u201cIt\u2019s you again,\u201d he said. She swallowed. \u201cI guess so.\u201d He motioned at the empty spot next to her. \u201cIs this swing taken?\u201d Julia stared at him for a second, then blinked and shook her head. She felt the curls bounce against her cheeks. Then Wyatt Hardy came and sat next to Julia.<\/p>\n

OceanofPDF.com CONTENTS START READING ABOUT THE AUTHOR OCEANOFPDF.COM I just think it\u2019s really toxic for you to bring up my voice,\u201d Chloe said, \u201cwhen you know I have trauma about it and probably ADHD.\u201d \u201cI didn\u2019t bring up your voice,\u201d Aiden said. \u201cI just said you\u2019re being whiny.\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s worse,\u201d Chloe said. Julia didn\u2019t say anything.<\/p>\n

She was sitting in the back seat of Aiden\u2019s Wrangler\u2014in the middle, on top of the seat belt latches, so she could see the movie screen between Aiden\u2019s and Chloe\u2019s shoulders. She still couldn\u2019t really see the screen . . . Julia had never been to a drive-in movie before.<\/p>\n

She hadn\u2019t realized that sitting in the back seat was going to be a problem. \u201cYou always do this,\u201d Chloe said. \u201cAnd you always do this,\u201d Aiden said. Chloe and Aiden had started dating a few months ago, at the end of junior year. Aiden played soccer and was very active in DECA, which was some sort of marketing club. (Marketing what, Julia always wondered.<\/p>\n

Like, shouldn\u2019t marketing be for something? Was it like when people did cheerleading without any sport to cheer for?)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
