‘Damnit Pritkin! Let me go!’ Lizzie exclaimed angrily, hoping to cover up her earlier reaction to his body. ‘And allow you to fall to the ground...thereby injuring yourself and forcing you to sit out of this year’s tournament? I don’t think so, Chang,’ Pritkin said calmly. He’d felt her relax against him, heard her sigh and damn near lost it. He had to catch himself before he took her right there up against the wall, in front of everybody. And he did, but just barely. Lizzie pushed against him.. Not only was I living with Kristen and Lynette, but I found myself the object of admiration from my fellow students, and now I had a band that I could use to pursue my dreams.All this great stuff was happening, and... somehow, I was still waiting for the other shoe to drop.For instance, if the tickets changed my life, then was I living the life that I was supposed to?
