Blurb:
Susan English can’t stand Robin Lanford! She’s so full of herself she irritates everyone on the faculty of Fairfield High. When Robin bets Susan fifty dollars that she can’t get a date with Kurt Deveraux, the head football coach, Susan jumps at the chance to put the little heifer in her place. She had no idea that teaching Robin a lesson would irrevocably change her life, strain treasured friendships, and throw two families into chaos.
We're picking up where we left off last week.
Melissa and Susan strolled slowly toward their cars. Who wanted to go home on such a beautiful
afternoon? The crisp, cool weather turned the sky a
lovely, deep blue, and the trees blazed in shades of
scarlet, orange, and gold. The smell of smoke from
burning leaves periodically filled the air.
“Good football weather,” said Melissa. “Are you going to the game tonight?”
Susan frowned. “I guess I should since I made that stupid bet. I wish I’d never done it, but if I cancel now, Robin will think it’s because I can’t get him, and she’ll never let me live it down.”

Aw, I'll bet she still has a chance to get the date and win the bet.
ReplyDeleteGreat visual with the sky and the trees. I believe she'll push on and win that bet... much to her delight.
ReplyDeleteI still wonder why she cares what Robin thinks or do... but it's good that she is going to the game.
ReplyDeleteSusan is right of course. Linda will goad her with failure. And Kurt might notice too ;-)

ReplyDeleteI agree with her, there's no turning back now.
ReplyDeleteGood use of the sense Elaine. It plunked me down, smack dab in the middle of the scene. I love the premise of this story! :-)
ReplyDeleteYep, no turning back now. I wonder what will happen at the game? Great fall descriptions.
ReplyDeleteAutumn and you brought me right back to falling leaves now raked up with a back ache here. Just gorgeous description to set the scene and you leave us with a cliff hanger.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the holiday season with your loved ones and my wishes for a happy and healthy New year coming up.
Yes, I loved the scene setting too, and I'm usually not a big fan of scenery description. Yours is just right! Love the way the story is progressing too. Great snippet!

Well I'm glad Susan us starting to have second thoughts. Great snippet, loved the Fall details!
ReplyDeleteLovely weather, and sad thoughts. Nice contrast!
ReplyDeleteI love the description. (Autumn is my favorite season.)
ReplyDeleteThe description of a fall day is lovely. And I'm guessing that the game will be full of action that has little to do with football! LOL.
ReplyDeleteNice snippet.
Good snippet, especially the description of the weather. It really sets the scene.
