"Tell me something Nairobi Cortes, do you love Luis Mendoza?"
"Mendoza" I repeated, giving some thought and responding "Even the name gives me butterflies"

"Alright alright alright! You all are improving really fast I can tell you that" Coach Bombay commented, sounding proud "How's about we stop here and call it a day?"
"Thank the lord for this!" Goldberg cheered.
"Seriously? We only had two hours of practice" Man chuckles
"A man like me needs to rest and eat. No questions asked"
I do feel pretty tired as well, I must've overdone it for the past days since my legs are hella sore. I grabbed my bag as I headed inside the locker room, feeling both the laziness and tiredness getting to me a bit.
"Sooooo...." Julie began "You have a date tomorrow?"
"How did you-"
"Connie and I will be asking the questions here! Now... where are you guys gonna go? What are you gonna wear?"
"I'm not sure for either of those answers... I've never been on a date before so this is pretty new to me" I explained, already feeling nervous "And besides, it's not like it's a crazy wedding, we're just going out to have fun"
"Yeah, 'fun'" Julie smiles "You better tell us everything"
"I will, but I'll leave the juicy stuff out" I joked, making Julie gasp "I'm just fucking with you"
Connie approaches me shyly "Can I walk with you out? I wanna talk to you about something"
"Yeah sure. You okay being alone Julie?"
She nods "If anything happens, I can just smack the hell out of them with my stick. I've played softball for a year so I know how to swing hard enough to break a guys skull"
"Alright, see you"
Something was off about Connie. It was like she was bothered by something, or better yet- someone.
"What do you wanna talk about?"
"Uh- you and Luis have been friends and all, so I was just wondering- is there anything he likes?" She asked as she looks away "I-I kinda wanna make something for him- Just for appreciation!"
"Oh! I thought you were bothered from what happened yesterday" I said, almost feeling relief "Are you mad about it? Because if so I can step aside from you two!"
"No no, it's fine!" She reassured me "I just wanted to ask you this since you know him very well"
I smirk "Wellll ain't that cute. What's next you're going to purpose to the guy and live happily ever after?"
"Aww quit it! What's so bad about a girl giving a boy a gift?" She blushed
"Alright, alright I get what you're saying" I apologized as I cleared my throat "I'm not one to know what he likes since he's always changing his mind, but what I do know is that he cherishes any gift given to him. Why do you think he is always cautious with his hockey stick?"
