Untitled WIP Teaser - Darius & Chayla Ch.2 Sneak Peak
So he explained how I would shadow him doing things outside of football and he would help me find interests outside of school. He’d even help me rewrite my interview questions and craft the profile.
This sounded like he was trying to take control of writing his own narrative. Which I believed every person had the right to do, however, as a journalist, I reserved the right to get the facts out there. If after all their “hanging out” it turned out he was just a football guy, that’s what I’d write.
Yet when he smiled at me, my insides melted and I could see myself doing anything he asked of me. Short of committing a felony. Well, it depended on if they could get the charges dropped down to a misdemeanor.
What was I thinking? I was trying to get into Harvard. I couldn’t afford to have charges on my record. I couldn’t even afford to get distracted by an attractive boy who had no idea what his pearly white smile and sexily arched eyebrows were doing to my innards.
“You okay out here girl?” Trina broke through my thoughts. And thank goodness. It was headed south fast and I needed to steer them back to the conversation at hand. Trin looked between me and Darius and squinted, trying to read both their minds.
