Football practice was after school and after throwing the ball around a few times, as 'Karl O'Connell's Kid', I was instantly placed on the varsity team.
As the only sophomore on the team, I was nervous, but everybody on the team was pretty nice, aside from Adam Nichols, the team co-captain.
All through practice, some of his 'fake' hits felt pretty real and I just chalked it up to team hazing, which I was fine with.

After telling a couple of the other players that I had a ride home after practice, I walked over to the lot expecting to see Tristan's car. I waited a few minutes, watching as the team all drove their cars out of the lot, before finally deciding to call Tristan.
"What?"
"Dude, practice just got out. You said you'd wait. Where are you?"
"Dude, chill out. Something came up."
"On the first day?"
"Just... grab an Uber, okay? And stop being such a whiny bitch."
"Whatever, Tristan."
"Okay, Nathaniel."
With that, Tristan hung up, leaving me frustrated, but not really all that surprised that he'd do something like this.
I was just about to order up a car when I heard a honk. Looking up to see Max in a small coupe, I nodded at him.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Rehearsal for the school play just got out... you need a ride?"
