Hey…

Jenson

I don’t have favorites but if I did it wouldn’t be you, Pen.

Penny

Are you telling me you’re not sweet on me? I’m so sad…

Penny

Oh wait, actually, we all know who your favorite is… Edie’s bridesmaid LOL

Jenson

Whatever.

Jaxson

I love you guys. But I need to go to bed. I’ve got my first day back at training tomorrow and I wanna be fresh.

Jameson

Good luck, favorite brother.

Jenson

Suck a dick.

Jameson

If you insist.

Penny

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jenson

Jeez it was supposed to say such not suck. I don’t need to know what you do with that mouth of yours.

Jameson

Hehehe

JAXSON

I trudge back into training with my tail firmly between my legs, but sporting a smile I just can’t shake from my face. My suspension is over and, while I’m pumped to get back to training with the boys, I'm not looking forward to the awkward encounter I’ll be forced to have with Jordan.

It’s been two weeks since the party and I haven’t seen him once, which is surprising seeing as he lives across the hall from me. But he can’t avoid me forever. I know Coach’ll make us shake hands and make nice with each other before he lets us back on the field.

A clap on my shoulder brings my attention to the here and now and I turn to see Lockheart, Marcello, and Bennett smiling back at me.

“Nice to have you back, newbie,” Charlie, our captain says and slaps me round the back of my head as he walks past. “That’s for being a dick and missing two games,” he shouts as he strides away from us. Lockheart and Marcello laugh as I rub the spot he just hit.

“You two gonna hit me too?” I ask and take a step away from them.
