“No, it wasn’t,” I said. “You ratted me out to Coach. That’s what we’re talking about here.”

His demeanor changed instantly. He put a hand on my shoulder. I glanced over at it then back to his face, looking him straight in the eyes.

“I’m sorry, man. Co

ach is all over me, and…”

“It’s fine,” I said, cutting him off. “Just don’t let it happen again.”

“Get a fucking room, you two,” someone yelled.

The others laughed then wandered away.

“You getting suited up?”

“Yeah, yeah, give me a minute,” I said. “I’ve got to make a call.”

“That damn Brooke is going to ruin your future,” he warned.

“Let me worry about that, alright?”

I stepped away and pulled out my phone to call Brooke. She answered right away.

“Hey, Austin. What’s up? I just got out of class.”

“I’ve been thinking about you all day.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Yeah. I ran into Derek and his goons again today.”

“How’d that go?” She asked as if she already knew the answer.

“I took care of it. Hey, I think we should talk about my goals.”

“Your goals?”

“What I want to do with my life after I graduate.”

“You’re going pro, aren’t you?”

“That’s the dream, but I don’t know if I’ll make it.”

“You’re going to make it,” she said confidently.

I smiled, loving her support.

“We could hang out later tonight.”

“Hang out?”

“You know, see where the night takes us,” I added quietly so my teammates wouldn’t hear.

“Oh yeah?”

“I’ll come by after I clean up after practice.

“Make it after eight. Jocelyn will be gone by then.”
