Chapter 2
Carrie had been flirting with Flynn for months. Since cheerleader tryouts. If Flynn wasn’t so sure in her ability in gymnastics, she would consider she only made the team because Carrie had a thing for her. She had a thing for Carrie, and though she was out and proud in her gayness, she wasn’t usually afraid to approach someone. Hell, she was never afraid to approach someone. She was always confident in her ability to do things. To talk to people, to stand up for or to people when someone needed defending. But her crush on Carrie made her nervous. She noticed Nick and Luke talking to Reggie and Julie, and she shrugged it off. Just happy their crushes were noticing them. When Nick and Reggie stayed in the parking lot, Carrie asked Flynn if she wanted to hang out. They ended up working on choreography for cheerleading, and when Carrie dropped her back off at home, Flynn pressed a kiss to her cheek, saying she would see her tomorrow.
But then Reggie was hurt. And as much as Flynn liked Carrie, she was not going choose Carrie over Reggie. If Reggie and Nick didn’t move past it, there was no future for Flynn with Carrie. Because even though she believed Carrie didn’t mean to hurt them, Reggie was one of the most important people in Flynn’s life.
When Reggie and Nick decided to go for it, Flynn slipped her arm around Carrie’s waist. Like a silent message that she was forgiven, too.
And when Caleb touched Reggie, Flynn snapped. She left Reggie in Nick and Julie’s care, kissing her girlfriend’s cheek before disappearing into the school building with the guys. She found Caleb first, damn near breaking his nose when her fist collided with his face. Alex pulled her back while the two lacrosse boys grabbed him, he fought them but when Flynn pulled her fist back again, he stopped. They tied him to the flag pole, pulling and pulling until he reached the top. When they headed back to Carrie’s car, the blonde was laughing so hard she was crying as they piled in.
