“It’s okay,” he said, a strange look on his face. I couldn’t figure it out, but guessed it fell somewhere between abhorrence and shock.
I touched his lip with my thumb and wiped the blood on my shorts. Yeah, not the most enchanting of moves. “No, it isn’t. Really, is there anything I can do? Help you find the nurse? Get you an ice pack?” I guessed since I hadn’t seen him around before that he must be the new guy all the girls had been gossiping about. Not that I could blame them. Salem Massachusetts wasn’t very big and most of the families had lived here for generations, so a new student propelled the school into frenzy the way blood excited sharks.
“Nah, I’ll be fine.” I noticed his black shorts hung low on his hips and, if it wasn’t for the white tank, I might’ve seen more than I’d bargained for. As it was, I was able to see a lot. Muscles rippled down his arms. He had a trim waist and great-looking legs.
I blushed brighter, guessing both cheeks were now the color of radishes.
“Okay.” I glanced at his running shoes. “Are you on the track team?”
“I hope so. Coach is having me try out.”
Oh, no. If he didn’t do well, it’d be my fault. “Good luck,” I said, looking up.
“Thanks, but I don’t need luck.” He smiled showing two straight rows of white teeth. Reminded me of a toothpaste commercial. “You wanna watch me?”
“Yes, sure.” I couldn’t help but smile back. He didn’t seem upset or hurt. His lip didn’t even look swollen.
“I’m Chace Charming,” he said as we headed toward the field.
I snickered and he gave me a sideways look. “It’s nice to meet you, Charming. My name is Snow White.”
One glance was all it took to know he understood what was so funny. “What were our parents thinking?” he asked. “I’ve considered having my last name changed. But if you can deal with yours, I guess I can deal with mine.” He bumped into my side. I would’ve gone flying, except faster than I thought possible, he grabbed hold of my arm and held me vertical.
“I know, right?” I couldn’t help the punch of excitement running through my veins. I was glad Chace and I walked together because I tripped two more times before he led me to a bench, where I gave the coach a thumbs-up and happily sat for the duration of practice.
