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."
"Yea...I guess Kyle would get it the worse. Don't let him bully you into striking out against him too." Zeke paused. "Want to give me your take on what happened? Dave wasn't clear on all the details."
