"Just gifting you with my presence." She rolled her eyes at me, "and my sweat." I murmured hoping she didn't hear it. She slapped my arm before walking off.

"Get in shower, pig." She gave me a soft smile.

"Sheesh, sounding a bit too much like a coach..." I shivered to notice the temperature drop. I smiled a bit before walking to the boy's locker room.

Bella Greene. The golden girl on my team. My girl. On my team. Couldn't have it any better.

\My ride to school with Noah was uncomfortable. Not talking. Not music. Not eye contact. Just us. In his mini cooper. Silent. 

"I'm sorry I ditched our Saturday for Levin." He blurted breaking the silence. 

"Mm. Damn, right you are" I retorted back glaring at him. 

"Jeez, didn't know that was such a big deal for you. As I said, I'm sorry." 

I snorted. "Good."

"Do you forgive me?"

"I guess"

 He slapped my hand. 

"I forgive you." I finished laughing. 

"Best friends before boys?" 

"Best gay friends before boys." I corrected, nodding and putting on some music. 

Our walk into school was filled with stares as Skylar walked over to us screaming. 

"What's wrong?" I asked walking up to her. 

"You practiced with Slate?" She screamed, and Noah furrowed his eyes at me. 

"Yeah, what's the big deal?'' 

"Uhmp..er...he's...err. Slate Edwards. You practiced, with. Slate. Edwards." She uttered her face breathless. 

I laughed and patted her shoulder. "We just practiced my passing" I scolding hoping she didn't think anything more. 

"Well, Ava's furious. She told me that you're stealing him from her." I scoffed then walked off taking Noah by the arm. 

"Than tell her to fuck off." I finished furiously. Noah stared at me as I opened my locker putting my bag in quite forcefully. 

"You didn't tell me," Noah commented sounding defeated. 

"I didn't fucking tell you because nothing fucking happened! Why can't I just practice soccer with a normal ass boy as Slate Edwards without people thinking something fucking happen!" I yelled slamming my locker door and paced to a gym.
