charlie grabbed both sides of sloane's head and tilted it back to begin her second braid. she listened intently to the loud conversations of her teammates and occasionally added small tidbits where she could. she laughed at the joke guy told, struggling to keep her head still. she cut her eyes and turned her head as far as she could to watch connie step over the bench and sit beside her.
"did you hear that hailey and melanie aren't friends anymore?" connie asked sloane as she crossed one leg over the other.
"yeah, i did. me and mel are pretty good friends and she told me they were fighting but wouldn't tell me why," sloane said and handing over her second hair tie to charlie once he finished the braid.
"hailey said it was because mel was talking crap about us but mel says that hailey was talking crap and trying to steal her boyfriend," connie said and pulling her braided ponytail over her left shoulder as she shifted on the bench.
"wouldn't surprise me if hailey was lying. she's never liked us and i don't know why," sloane said and rolled her eyes once. "oh!" she exclaimed in a rare moment of visible excitement as she gently slapped connie's leg. "are you and guy busy tomorrow afternoon?"
"i'm not," connie said and quickly shifted toward guy. "are you busy tomorrow afternoon?"
"no, why?" guy asked looking at the two girls.
"double date?" sloane asked, sweeping her hand to point at herself, connie, guy, and fulton.
"what about me?" charlie asked and feigned offense.
"you'd be a great fifth wheel, charlie," sloane said while gently patting his leg once. she snickered once as he dramatically rolled his eyes and pushed herself to her feet. she walked to fulton, pulled her shoulder pads from her bag, and held them for a moment while watching fulton grab a roll of white athletic tape from his bag.
"hope you're not busy tomorrow afternoon because we gotta date with connie and guy," sloane said and quickly tugged her pads over her shoulders.
"we're going to the playoffs!" charlie said and leaned back slightly with his arms extended outward. sloane whistled softly and leaned against the locker beside her. "one win."
"think people are gonna start asking for your autograph?" sloane asked charlie while nudging his shoulder.
