Me and the Baseball Player

It's Going to be a Long Day

"Zoe wake up." I'm shaken awake by Gabe and I sit up slowly watching his piercing green eyes.

"Nice to see you slept well. You know you look a lot cuter when your alseep then you do when your about to pull my throat out." He says, but all I can do is roll my eyes, and smile.

"There's the Zoe I know." He says with a wink.

"How'd you know I'd be here?" I ask allowing him to pull me onto my feet.

" I didn't I come here early in the morning to practice, but Caleb called and told me to see if you were here since Ashely said you stayed at Riley's, and since Riley is just now getting back from Florida it wasn't hard to figure out." He smiles at me then walks over to his duffle bag. A lot of people saw him a really tough bad ass kind of guy, and at school people were scared of him, they know he boxes. I on the other hand see Gabe as a great guy, if any one just took the chance to actually talk to him. Plus I don't see what's so scary about being a boxer, if everyone knew I was a boxer they'd be all over me saying how cool I was, but there afraid of him. He threw his favorite sweatshirt at me and I pulled it on over my top half. It's warmth engulfing me.

"Thanks." I say and he nods

"Babe  you looked much better without that sweatshirt on!" Ben says as the door slams shut behind him. He was on the lacrosse team with Caleb and probably one of our strongest fighters, yet he's really caught up in his ego.

"Well To bad so sad" I say and then he winks before heading towards the showers.

"Tighten your hips your gonna lose balance." I say but before Gabe can fix it he try's for a side kick back spring but falls to the ground then looks up at me with a scowl.

"Told you." I say with a smile, and he lets out a sarcastic laugh, as he gets back up again.

" By the way did you win last night?" I ask and he sighs.

" Ryker wouldn't let me fight, he said he didn't want anyone else getting hurt. Apparently Star has a broken collar bone." He says with a shrug. Star, Crystal, Layla, and I were the only girls that actually got into the ring. Though Crystal's one of the roughest bad ass fighters we have, she had to go to California for a few weeks due to problems her dad was having. And Layla hates everyone, but herself so we all just stayed away from her, so basically Star and I had a great connection being the only girls around. We don't talk much since she goes to a different school, and we have different training times, but I love hanging out with her when I can.

"That sucks, I'll have to text her and ask her how she is later, but I'm sure Ryker was just looking out for everyone. You know how he feels when one of us gets hurt."

"Or more importantly Star getting hurt." I mumble due to the fact that they were always flirting with each other.

" He let me fight." Ben said as he began punching the dummy. He was only wearing sweatpants and already had sweat dripping down his chest.

" That's because your an ass with an attitude and we all wouldn't mind if you got kicked around a little." I retort and then Ben scowls deeply at me.

Gabe  laughs. " She's not lying."

"Also by the way, your not even making your fist right. You'll brake it like that." I say and he smirks.

"I know how to make a fist. " he says with strickened eyes.

"That's not a fist that's your middle finger. Asshole!" I mumble.
