"I'm coming in!" Taylor yelled right before she reached the locker room doors so the boys could cover themselves up if needed.
"Rule!" Roy yelled, in his notorious gruff voice right before she entered the room.
Taylor rolled her eyes, gripping the camera around her neck "It's not even on!"
"Can't risk it bruv" Issac said.
"Honestly you take a pic of a dick by accident one time, and you never live it down" Taylor huffed dramatically trying to hide her laugh as she remembered the day, the panic that ensued, the boys trying to work out whose it was and then hounding Taylor got until she deleted it.
"It's not funny," Richard said, "it was a terrible angle."
"Well next time I'll make sure the angle is perfect" Taylor said shooting him a wink.
"Jesus Christ" Roy sighed shaking his head.
Taylor looked over her shoulder at Roy and grinned. Roy rolled his eyes and pretended to be annoyed at his friend, he was glad to see her more relaxed and at ease in the locker room than the last time she was here. He hadn't worked out what was wrong that day, but he was determined to find out, as were several of the other boys after her rejection of movie night,
Ted and Beard wondered out from the direction of the showers, Taylor smiled at the coaches and waved her camera in Beard's direction.
Beard narrowed his gaze on the girl and mouthed 'no.'
"Hey Sam, you gotta pop upstairs real quick. Higgins wants to talk to you" Ted said.
With a wave to Taylor Sam ran out of the locker room.
Nate subtly followed his direction, hovering by the door until Sam was out of sight in the hallway and shut the door "Yep, yep, he's gone."
"Yo, hey guys," Ted said clapping his hands together to grab everyone's attention. "Sam's birthday is on Saturday, so I was thinking we'd all chip in and get him something nice. Nice gift or something right? So, Nate's gonna be coming round with yet another impressive box!"
The box Nate presented was painted pink with sequins, with white pipe cleaners ears and a face complete with googley eyes and a tongue.
"Look at this, wow it's got a face!"
Taylor leaned over to get closer to Roy "Another?" She whispered.
"Stupid fucking suggestion box, Ronald McDonald wants to know about the snacks and other things he can do to make things fucking better" Roy whispered back his glare fixating on the coach deepening.
"That actually sounds like a good idea."
Roy turned his heated gaze on Taylor "you fucking traitor."
"Okay, you hear that y'all you put the money in his mouth," Ted said gesturing to the box.
Nate went around collecting money from the different teammates. When he got to Jamie, who was wearing that stupid baseball hat with the word ICON on it, the striker pulled out the gum from his mouth and stuffed it in the box. "It's spearmint. Make the money smell nice" Jamie explained.
