matter how long you’ve been on a collision course for one—accidents are
sneaky like that. Some can tear your world apart, others put you right where
you were always meant to be. So it does beg the question: Can an accident

“I ’ , Lucy . . . I’m a terrible liar,” Brooke protested.

“Brooke, please. I probably won’t even be late, but you’re my fall back
plan, okay?”
Brooke groaned. “I don’t see why you can’t just tell Alex that you’re
gonna be late. He’s supposedly your boyfriend.”
“He is my boyfriend,” Lucy corrected, rolling her eyes. She did not
need to get into that argument with her best friend again.
“Fine, but he’s an athlete too. He should understand why you can’t skip
swim practice. It’s not like soccer is more important than swimming.”
Lucy laughed. “Try telling Alex that.”
“Tell me again why you’re still dating him?” Brooke asked.
A whistle blew in the background and Lucy winced. She needed to get
back to the pool before her coach noticed she was taking an unnecessarily
long break. “Brooke, you owe me. Just cover for me if I’m late.”
“Fine, but if you’re not there when Alex comes running over for his
pregame kiss all bets are off. I draw that line at kissing jock-wads!”
“Brooke! Please just stall him.”
“How?”
“I don’t care, just come up with something!”
“Like you’re in line buying unicorn farts?” Brooke cracked.
