Ava: Wanna come over?
“Dude.” Blaise sat down in the chair next to me, spying my phone. “Who’s that? You got a new girl?”
I shot him a grin but responded to Ava first.
Me: What’s up?
I was very aware of my best friend watching me while I was waiting for her response. He didn’t get back that often. His schedule playing for one of Hungary’s football clubs didn’t give him a lot of time in the off-season. But he was here, and I got to hang out with him, so we were making the most of it. A night at the house, drinking, playing FIFA, and planning on doing whatever. I loved my boy. Any time spent with him was good for my bro-soul.
But this was Ava.
Ava: Nothing. It’s cool. I’ll see you at Manny’s later.
I frowned because Ava didn’t call or text. She didn’t ask me to come over.
