V3 ch347 CIF Semifinal: Gridley HS (1)

"I made plans with Adam to meet before warmups." Noah reminded me as we unboarded the bus at a community college. We were at another neutral location for the semifinals and the drive was a long one. I felt like everyone had slept on the bus but me. "Jake? Are you listening?" Noah repeated. 

I hummed and then started to yawn. "Yea. Looking for Adam. I know."

"You looked wiped. Did you have trouble sleeping last night?" Noah frowned. 

"No. It was just a long bus ride." I told him. I was fine all day, even talking to some of our classmates about tonight. Everyone was excited how close we were coming to being repeat champions. 

Noah and I picked up our bags and started to distance ourselves from our team, keeping an eye out for the opposing team. It turned out that they had already reached the field and was sitting near a gate entrance, waiting. 

"Yo! Adam!" Noah hollered. 

A player stood up and started walking away from his team.
