HAZE (On Hold)

Part 43

The US U20 players arrive at their hotel in France ready to hit the sack after missing their original connection in Frankfurt and having to wait around for the next available flight to Paris. 

The Coaches pass out the keys and room assignments, not surprisingly they've opted to keep everything the same as camp, which means that once again Jade and Hailee are roommates along with Storm and Amanda and the newest pairing of Kate and Tessa. 

Hailee lets out a big yawn as she struggles to pull her bag over the carpet in the hallway. 

"Need some help?" Hailee turns to face Amanda and Kate and yawns again before responding, "I'm okay, thanks." 

"Get some sleep Haze, I know you didn't sleep on the plane." Hailee nods at what Amanda says, "Night guys." 

She follows Jade inside to their room, pulls out a change of clothes, and her toiletry bag before heading into the bathroom, changing and coming back out to climb under the covers. She is out cold before her head hits the pillow and Jade smiles as she watches on before completing her own nighttime routine. 

They both sleep until there is knocking on the door that wakes them up, "Jadey? Let me in!" 

Hailee turns to face Jade, who laughs, "All yours, Jadey. What time is it?" 

Jade yawns and shrugs before making her way to the door and letting her girlfriend in and then heading into the washroom. 

"How are you up so early, Storm?" 

"It's like lunchtime here right now, they have croissants in the meal room!" 

Hailee laughs, "I guess I should get up then before you eat all of them." 

"I only had two with hot chocolate." 

"That's not a good breakfast." 

"That was only a snack I've been up for a long time and already ate the colourful stuff that Jadey tells me too, Amanda kicked me out of the room because she wanted to sleep more."

Hailee laughs, "Sounds about right." 

Jade comes out of the washroom and curls back up in her bed summoning Storm to join her and Hailee decides to make herself decent and head down to get something to eat. 

Entering the room, she surveys her options before making a few choices and sitting down to eat. 

"Mind if I join you?" Hailee nods to indicate it's okay for Kate to join her. 

"How'd you sleep, Haze?" 

"Pretty good, still feel completely drained though." 

"I expect that's why we were given the day off to rest and get acclimated."

"Haze, can I ask you something?" 

Hailee nods. 

"Is there still something going on between you and Amanda?"

"We are friends, nothing more, nothing less, why?" 

"It's just, I feel like she isn't fully committed to the idea of dating me because she is still into you." 

"I'm sorry, Kate, I'm not sure what exactly you are asking or expecting of me, I'm with someone else and Mandy knows that. I really like you and her together and hope that you are able to make things work, perhaps once you guys head to Penn State and are together on a more regular basis it will come together for you." 

Kate nods, "I hope so because I really do like her." 

"Then show her, she is big on the little things. She likes to eat a package of Skittles before every game, they have to be the original kind, not the tropical ones, she doesn't like them. Also, she loves being held and watching movie marathons with extra buttery popcorn to munch on."
