章 1092: V3 ch326 VS Quincy HS (1)

I got a call just as school ended. I checked my phone, surprised to see it was Zeke. Or...I guess...it's not a surprise. He's probably heard by now. I hesitated to answer, staring at the flashing name. 

"Who is it?" Noah peered over my shoulder. He gave me a look like I was strange. "Why aren't you answering?"

I took a deep breath and answered. "Hello?"

"How's it going, Jake?" Zeke asked, sounding very casual and relaxed. 

I grimaced. "You know?"

He chuckled. "How can I not? Dave's been blowing up my phone. Rhys's too. I figured if we were catching this much hell, you must be a million times worse."

I scratched my cheek, a little self-conscious. "Well, not really. I think Kyle is the most annoyed by the bragging. I just don't feel good about it. Like how easily I was to get to."
