A Favor for a Friend

Chapter 22

I groaned and laid back as the third period ended. We lost, very badly. "That. Was. Awful." I said with my face in a throw pillow.

"That was rough....." Olli said clearly very upset about the loss, especially because he had no control of what happened. It must have been hard to see your team loose when you feel like you could have helped.

"I'm going to call Sid in a little. Once they are all done and he is on his way home. I doubt there will be much celebrating tonight." I sighed.

Olli picked up the remote and quickly changed the channel from Root to another channel. I don't think either of us knew what it was, he just didn't want to listen to them talk about the defeat.

There was a moment of awkward silence. "How does your jaw feel?" I asked. It was still bruised obviously, but he seemed to have better speech ability.

"It still kills. It isn't as bad as earlier but it is sorer." He shrugged.

"You should probably ice it again." I got up from the couch. I walked to the kitchen. I searched through the drawers for a baggie that I could put ice in. I opened one of the drawers and stopped.

I picked up a few brochures of colleges. "Hey, Olli..." I said staring down at them.

"Yeah?" He got up and walked into the kitchen when he stopped in the door way.

I turned around and held up the papers.

"Crap..." He muttered under his breath, "I wasn't going to tell you until later..." He trailed off.

"I told you, I can't come and live here. I wish I could, I really do." I frowned and set the papers down.

"Let me explain though. I talked to your brother, Sid gave me his number. He agreed that you wouldn't put in the applications yourself so we um..... kind of sent them in for you." His cheeks were flushed, he was embarrassed.

"Jace said that?!" I said in disbelief. I couldn't believe he didn't tell me.

"I talked to him earlier yesterday morning." He said and looked down.

That explains why he was so for me sending them in. He had already done it. Figures. Classic Jace.

"Don't get your hopes up... I haven't really been the best student." I said softly.

"I have faith in you. Your grades are better than you think." He said.

"If I make it in somewhere.... I will think about it ok? I will still have to go home on Wednesday though no matter what." I said with a frown.

"I know..... I just really want you to stay." He sighed.

"I will if I can.... I promise." I insisted.
