Chapter 55 Number One

• Miss Gates hasn’t visited yet. I’m not happy but I’m relieved. It would have been awkward, as awkward as it was on Wednesday evening when Jackson knocked and Calum opened the door. Thinking about that day makes me annoyed. He’s not jealous. He doesn’t care what I do with my life.
• Today is the game. I pair Jackson’s white jersey with a black jeans. Girlfriend duties but the thought leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Number one is written behind in blue colour. I smoothen the front of the jersey and smile at my reflection in the mirror. My pink hair contrasts with my outfit. I look like someone emptied a rainbow on me.
• Calum’s door opens. I’ve become more attuned to the sound since we broke up.
