“But I meant…do I have to tell Coach that something happened? Or…submit the lab results?”

I feel like someone at school needs to know. Someone did this to you. Someone that can do it to other people. Someone who could be on a sports team who needs to be expelled. But I guess that’s the cops’ job. It’s not your responsibility. I’m terrible at being a friend I guess. That’s why I’m alone. 🙃

I’m looking at his face and catch his wince as we step outside. His eyes are squinted nearly shut. “You good, Coach?” I ask carefully.

What is up with this dude? He almost knocked into the wall last book and now this? Is he sick?

Omg I forgot he was already drafted. He has a legit future planned. This trauma is going to be so hard on him in the public eye.

I’ll forgive ONE SINGLE USE of the word heady for this little blip. I feel it so hardcore.

You’re doing the work, Max. You’re trying to do things that make you feel more like before. Don’t let him bring you down. You’re doing good. I promise.

I am not in the mood for this.

I don’t know how I’ll feel if we find out who raped Max in this book. It’s already far fetched that no one knows. The investigation would have meant every person at that party was interviewed. There’s no way it would stay a secret.

We had this conversation last book which leads me to think the author could have a personal issue with it.
