"Coach would've had my hide if he had asked me where you were and I couldn't provide answers.

Since Sky agreed to be Ace's friend they've been civil. greetings in the hallway at school, regular texting, Ace got her number that evening before he left Ty's house and he has taken every opportunity to text her, even if it's just to send weird funny emoticons to get a reaction out of her. But she hasn't been eating lunch with them in the cafeteria so Ace was able to convince her to try it today and she agreed but now he was beginning to think that she had bailed on him. There was also the issue of Ty's objection to their relationship or lack of... and now he was glaring at him or was it staring intensely, well he was making his displeasure very obvious and the group was starting to notice if the looks some of them were giving him was anythin

"Hey, Sky it's Ace.....uhmmm I'm not sure what I said to get you so pissed at me to the point of ignoring me but I'm sorry, I'm really sorry and if you could just pick up your phone or call me back Id apologize in person"Sky played another one"Hi..... it's me again, Ace, you probably figure that from the hundreds of voice mails I sent. I came to your house today but Tyler said you were out. I didn't believe him, you were probably in your room, hiding. Call me back. Yeah," Ace finished another voice mail frustration thick in his voice.Sky gulped the knot in her throat down and played another one. He was wrong, she wasn't hiding in her room she was in therapy.Sky put her phone down and walked towards her window seat sighting a small black envelope she picked it up.Sky was holding a letter from Ace in her hand.

"I'm so glad you came. when I didn't see you before the game started I was so sure you wouldn't show" Ace said gazing at her. These days he did that a lot, gazed at her, not look or stare, gaze.
