Chapter 4 " Ugh ! It got all over my dress ! " ] ] Cherry jumped back , staring at the stains on her outfit like I'd just thrown actual garbage on her . ] Her dramatic shriek had everyone rubbernecking . [ ] Dylan jogged over , completely ignoring me while giving Cherry this concerned look . [ ] " What happened ? " " She was shoving that huge cooler around and totally slammed into me . " Only then did Dylan bother to look at me , his expression cold and judgmental ] Even his voice was ice - cold : [] " You think this is the place to be hawking your shit ? " [] I might suck at arguing , but I wasn't about to take the blame for something I didn't do : " She's the one who ran into me . She should apologize and pay for my damages . " I knew damn well Dylan had seen exactly what happened . [ ] But even seeing it with his own e eyes , he still blamed me first . My throat started burning , and my eyes felt hot and swollen . ] I raised my voice : " Apologize ! " Dylan stared at my reddening eyes and went quiet for a couple seconds . Hack when Dylan was in my life , I'd been so happy that nothing seemed impossible - nothing worth crying over . Whether customers were being assholes or I was dead on my feet from exhaustion , I'd just smile through it without shedding a tear . Even the day we broke up , I never let him see me get emotional . Right now , though , he looked genuinely freaked out . He opened his mouth like he wanted to say something , but Cherry cut him off ] She lifted her chun like some prissy peacock and sneered Are you literally insane ? Even if I did wreck your little setup on purpose , I wouldn't apologize to ANYONE . " [ ] And Dylan - Mr . Moral High Ground who used to lecture me about doing the right thing - suddenly only gave a shit about princess's version of right and wrong . He hesitated for like two seconds , then shoved some hills at me . ] " She's been spoiled rotten since day one . You're not getting an apology , but this should cover whatever you lost . " It was actually pretty decent cash - would've kept us fed for weeks back when we were scraping by . [ I stared down at the total shitshow on the ground , completely speechless . Lucas walked over , bent down to pick up the cooler , and called out to me : [ ] " Come on , let's go prep drinks for the second half . " He stepped closer , blocking all the judgmental stares from the bleachers . ] I was p pretty bummed that whole day - like a wilted plant or something , just dragging my feet the entire walk back Until Lucas said : " I sold out completely . " That got my head up real quick , and suddenly I had my energy back But since I was soaked and sticky . Lucas wouldn't let me go back out for the second half . He grabbed the drinks and made trip after trip by himself . Every single time , he came back empty - handed - sold everything Not only that , but way more girls started showing up at the shop to buy bubble tea . They'd all sneak glances at Lucas and turn red as tomatoes . That's when I realized Lucas had taken off his mask - and damn , the guy was seriously good - looking .
