"Hey Patton! Is it report time already?"

He greeted back, handing in the paper.

"Yeah, Fairy Godmother has to go back to Ulstead for a few more days"

The door bursted open as a gust ran snatching few baked treats before running out the other side.

"Thanks Tanti!" The boy said through munches.

"Tyrell! Stop stealing my beignets everytime before practice!"

Patton giggled at the duo. Started to turn around not before taking his box of cookies.

"I'll leave you to it" He started walking towards the door.

"See ya Later!" She waved.

He waved back before walking out the doors. He hummed as he saunter across the hallway. On the way, he saw someone he particularly knows. He was talking to two other Council member, they are quite impeded in their conversation so he leaned on the walls watching from a far. Patton chuckled at how he sighs as one of them made a joke about the topic, the focus and presistant, awes him. His view switched towards the dry grass of the field. He was always on time for practice. Greeting the last member entering the field who was that Tyrell. Chuckled as he gave a short but dramatic speech of motivation and the team members seem to just sigh and listen, no way out of that. He looked down at his binder back and forth between the two boys. He sighed, it's been months since they spent time together, for themselves out of school purposes at least. An idea popped in his head as quickly skipped towards him.

"Lo - lo!"

He almost jumped in his own skin. Definitely not at the fact he used a childhood nickname.

"I was just wondering if your free this weekend?"

Logan went silent before he spoke. "What is this about, Patton?"

Patton sighed solemnly. "I...know this part year we've been busy, we have our own things and goals-"

"But that wouldn't have happened without us- being together" Patton turned away.

Logan followed his gaze towards the spirit full boy wearing the number one jolting across the field.

"So, why don't live it back? For good times sake" He asked.

He scolded himself unable to refuse his round bright blue eyes or 'puppy eyes' he presume others name. But he also smiled. Well, in his mind.

He silently sighed before nodding. "I will- try make an arrangement"

His eyes twinkle crushing Logan in a big bear hug squealing loudly.

He bounced on his feet, before running off. "See you later!"

Knowing better, he is going to convince Roman next. He fished out his phone out of his pocket. An exasperated sigh slipped as he scrolled down his schedule. This might shift a few things.

"Great work everyone! We'll be ready for Friday in no time" He high fived the last players.

"Aren't you joining us Roman?" A boy asked.

"You know him Briar, 'he won't rest until he's the best' and all that" A cheerleader chimed in.

"Of course I know that! But you don't know him like I do now do you?" He spat.

Roman chuckled as the two siblings bicker. Setting down his towel as he walked towards Briar wrapping his arm around his shoulder.
