The Coach and The Player

The Coach & The past

Chapter Eleven:

It was Tuesday and today was our first day of practice practice so we could be ready in time for Berkwood on Friday. My throw had been getting much better and it was all thanks to Tucker. I now feel bad about what I've been doing behind his back. I mean I'm not a bad person, but I just really want to have more insight of who I'm dating. And I know Karah's right I should ask him but it's like everytime I give him an opportunity he doesn't take it, and I'm running out of options.

Karah and I were currently late to practice. So we had to hurry up into the locker room and get changed.

"So did you find anything? On Tucker"? She asked me as she was opening her locker.

"Uh yeah not that much though". I said.

"Well then what did you find"? Karah said finally getting her locker open.

"Nothing much just his high school transcripts, high school team photos, his yearbook photo, and his um...". I said before pausing.

"And what"? Karah asked.

"I found a few pictures of his ex-girlfriend. God Karah she's like insanely perfect. She has no flaws". I said.

"She can't be that perfect. Do you have photo"? She asked.

"Yeah I do". I said then took out my phone and swiped to the photo of Tucker and his ex.

"See look no flaws". I said showing Karah the photo.

"Wow she's gorgeous". Karah said swiping through some of the other photos.

"Way to lower my self esteem Karah. But you're right. Honestly how can I compete with that"? I said pointing to a picture of Tucker's ex.

"What's her name". Karah asked.

"Katrina". I said.

"Katrina Czoss". I said.

"Wow even her name sounds perfect and Tucker looks really happy with her". Karah said.

I sighed.

"Is it that obvious"? I said.

"Tucker looks really young in these pictures. He was probably like 16-18". Karah said.

"Yeah cause he's 20 now". I said.

"Okay, I can't look at this anymore,and you shouldn't either". Karah said locking my phone and putting it in her locker.

"Hey"! I said.

"We have to get ready for practice and you need to stop moping". Karah said.

We both got changed for practice and headed out the field. Thank god coach was so preoccupied with Tucker to even noticed that we were late. We blended in with everyone that was stretching. Karah looked over at me and saw that I was still mopping.

"Can you stop feeling sorry for yourself"? Karah asked me.

"No, I can't Tucker had like this super hot girlfriend and now he has". I started saying before Karah interrupted me.

"And now he has my cute, adorkably adorable, and hot best friend. Rocky you seriously need to get over the fact that Tucker had a-

"Hey guys". Tucker said.

Karah stopped with she was saying.

"Oh hey, Tucker". Karah said trying to diverge from what she was saying. Hopefully Tucker hadn't heard her.

"Hey, 24". Tucker said. Looking at me I didn't say anything.

He grabbed my hand.

"Love what's wrong"? He asked me again.
