  109. About the Publisher

Ryan encourages Connor with his eyes, the way he had on their first day at primary, their first evening at Cub Scouts, the football tryouts after Ryan had spent hours coaching Connor, Ryan not joining the team until Connor was good enough.

His mum’s words float back to him: ‘Kieron would give anything to start back at school today,’ and he knows that he can do this, not only for Ryan but for his brother.

He ascends the steps flanked by Ryan and Tyler. It isn’t the same as having Hailey next to him. Their fingers brushing against each other. He misses her.

Still misses her.

‘Right, losers,’ Tyler says before they go to their separate lessons. ‘Shall we head into town at lunchtime? Chippy? Something to look forward to?’

‘Nah.’ Connor shakes his head. ‘Don’t have any cash.’

‘I’ve got you covered. Both of you.’ From his pocket Tyler pulls out a roll of notes.

‘What the…’ Ryan leans forward for a closer look. ‘All twenties? Where did you get them?’ Tyler is always skint.

‘That’s for me to know.’ Tyler taps the side of his nose. ‘But there’s more where this came from.’

The sound of the bell – shrill and piercing – makes them walk a little quicker. They pass Amber, Hailey’s best friend. Connor doesn’t know what to say, so he doesn’t say anything at all. Instead, he slopes down the corridor, head hanging low, until he reaches his locker. Stuck to his locker door on an A4 sheet of paper is a printed-out image of Jennifer Love Hewitt in a low-cut vest top, pouting, from the movie poster for I Know What You Did Last Summer. Scrawled in a thick red marker, the colour of blood, across her cleavage, ‘I know’.

Fucking hilarious. Connor mutters as he screws it into a ball and stuffs it deep into his pocket.

I know what you did last summer.

He clenches his jaw to stop his teeth from chattering. It’s impossible for someone to know, isn’t it? Not all of it? If they do, he’s fucked. He glances at Ryan and Tyler.

They’re all fucked.

Chapter Eight

Lucy

My eyes are trained on the rear-view mirror as I drive away from the pink knickers I’d discarded in the gutter until they’re no longer visible.
