San Diego
Two days before the game

Trinity bit her lip as she sat inside the Coach's office. This felt like as if she was in the principals office in school or something. Was she in trouble? Was she getting a raise? Was she getting fired? She couldn't think of a single clue. Sure, she missed one game but she was positive that wouldn't get her in trouble plus it was a family emergency.

Her leg bounced up and down feeling her anxiety take over. The team was gathered at the practice center about to take off to the airport for a late flight to Seattle just before the game on Sunday.

They were supposed to leave an hour ago but the Quarterback was late which was a first for Harrison since Elias was always the late one and he was surprisingly on time today.

The door to the office opened and Coach Ballard walked in, closing the door behind him. Trinity eyed getting more nervous by the second. He sighed and sat down in his office chair and looked at Trinity.

"Trinity, right?" He asked making sure and she nodded her head. The coach wasn't necessarily her boss. It was the General Manager of the team, but the coach had a say-so here and there. "Well, Trinity. I was making sure we go over the understanding of the rules here. That's really what this is,"

'Fuck,' was all she thought.

"Don't get worried, we're going over this with all the staff including the cheerleaders."

'Oh?' Was the next thing she thought.

"Someone close to the team said something about a player and member of the staff is messing around with each other and we wanted to make sure everyone knew the rules since everyone claims they don't know anything."

'They don't. Besides Harrison, Torrance, Elias, and Dallas.' She thought in her head. Her inner thoughts were loud today.

"You don't happen to know anything about that, do you? If anything like this leaks to the media, it's not going to be good for the team." Coach eyed her down and Trinity gulped shaking her head. "You sure?"

"Positive. I'm not really close to the other staff like that and the boys...well, I'm sure they all have actual relationships to focus on, I hope." She gave him an awkward smile. She wished she had taken theater in high school when she had the chance so her acting could be perfect.

The Coach stared at her before nodding his head and sighing. "Alright, well. That's all I have for you. I just found out you were supposed to be with defense this entire time but that's up to you if you want to make the switch. It seems you already have a liking with offense." The coach gave her a look and Trinity smiled awkwardly. She just thanked him not knowing what else to say before walking out of his office and grabbing her bag in the process.

Trinity made her way to the parking lot where the rest of the staff and players was. They couldn't go anywhere without Harrison. Dallas was the first to acknowledge Trinity as he walked up to her and twirled a piece of her hair around his finger. Her curl bouncing back into place once he let it go.

"I ain't know you was a curly head." He spoke and she chuckled to herself.

"Naturally, I am. But I hate having to deal with it so it's either braids, sew in, or straightened."

"It's pretty. You should wear it out more," He complimented and Trinity smiled at it. Sure, Dallas thought Trinity was pretty and whatnot but they both know it was nothing but friendship vibes between them. She looked at him and Harrison as two funny older brothers. Torrance and Elias on the other hand...
