Blurred Lines: A Rixon High Prequel by L Cotton (ebook reader for pc .TXT) 📕

I didn’t have the heart to tell her, that it wasn’t them I was worried about.

It was me.

I could already feel the gnawing teeth of anxiety closing in around me. But I’d been doing so much better, and Mom and Dad were finally loosening the strings and giving me more freedom. I didn’t want to ruin everything.

So I smiled and ignored the little voice in my head.

Everything would be fine.

Just then, Dad came outside and headed toward us.

“Uh oh,” Mom said. “He looks pissed.”

His eyes were narrowed, and his jaw was clenched. Oh yeah, my dad was definitely pissed.

“What did they say?” Mom leaped up.

“It’s a fucking mess.” He glanced over me and grimaced. “Sorry, Lil.”

I waved him off.

“Since we’re the better football program they want to transfer all their best players here. But like I told Principal Kiln, I already have a full roster.”

“Well, I’m sure you’ll make it work.” She rubbed his shoulders. “They lost everything, Jase. It’s the right call.”

“Yeah, I know.” He blew out a long, steady breath. “But Kaiden Thatcher is on that list.”

“Lewis Thatcher’s son?” Mom frowned, her expression darkening. “I see.”

“Who’s Lewis Thatcher?” I asked.

“No one you need to worry about, Lil,” he said.

But his face said otherwise. His face said Lewis Thatcher was someone to worry about.

Which probably meant, his son was too.

Thank you reading.

Huge thanks to my beta team: Nina, Annissia, Heather, Cassie, and Amanda for all their input. To Darlene and Athena for fitting me in for a last minute proofread. To Andie, Tracy, and Anna for keeping me sane during these strange times we live in.

And a huge shoutout to every blogger, bookstagrammer, and reader who fall in love with my OG Raiders and gave me the encouragement to move onto their kids’ stories. I really hope I do them justice.

Until next time,
