“Yo, Ricci.” Aaron juts his chin in acknowledgment as we get to the gate
for our flight. “A bunch of the guys are going to grab dinner. You in?”
I drop my backpack onto a seat by the window looking out at the
runway and take the chair next to it. “Nah, I’m good.”
“Shake it off. We’ll get them next time.”
“Yeah.” Nodding, I give my buddy a playful smile that is all show. “Of
course, we will.”
When my teammates are finally gone, I let out a breath and put on my
headphones. I don’t feel like listening to music, but it helps drown out some
of the airport noise.
We are catching a flight back to Colorado after a tough loss. All losses
are tough, but this one stings especially bad for me because I should have
stopped the final play, the one that let the other team take a one-point lead
with three seconds left.
I’m a cornerback. THE cornerback. The best on my team, maybe in the
entire conference. I’m known for my ability to anticipate plays, my quick
reflexes, and my all-out, never-give-up mentality.
Once you get me started, there’s no stopping me. Some call me reckless
or destructive. Some call me determined. I don’t know which is right. I’m
just trying to do my best for my team and for my family cheering me on
from home. It means everything to them that I’m playing college ball.
I see a new text from my dad, ignore it, and pull up Twitch to watch my
favorite gamer. This guy is legit. He’s a world-class speedrunner on Super
Mario. I wonder if his parents critique his every game. Probably not.
While I watch, the seats around me start to fill up. It’s the weekend
before Thanksgiving, so there are a lot of families, just a lot of people in
general.
A shadow falls over me and I glance up to find a girl looking at me with
big, brown eyes, like she might have said something I didn’t hear.
“Sorry. Did you say something?” I ask as I move one headphone off my
ear.
“Are you saving that for someone?” She points to the chair next to me,
where my backpack sits.
“No. It’s all yours.” I move my bag to the floor in front of me and she
drops into the chair.
“Thank you,” she says with a sigh. “You just saved me from watching
my ex and his new girlfriend make out like they’re about to get on two
different flights. Making out at the airport should be reserved for couples
who are parting ways, or are reuniting, or I don’t know, anyone but them.”
I give her my attention, which prompts her to add, “That sounded mean,
didn’t it?”
“A little, maybe.”
“Sorry. Ignore me.” She waves a hand and slumps in the chair. Without
looking at me, she says, “Thank you for the seat.”
I do ignore her, for a moment. My hand goes to pull my headphone back
