They run behind the next goal,the two of them slowing to distance themselves from the other runners.“Please,”Sean says,throwing a glance around to make sure none of his teammates can overhear.“Why d’you think I went to school in the first place?I’m in the D and A program.”

Cordero grins,like he knows Sean’s joking.“What the hell’s that?”

“Dick and ass.”Sean throws him a wink,heart thudding in his chest.The ball is Cordero’s to play.

Around the opposite end of the goal,into a straight run.Cordero shakes his head,his grin widening.“Damn,man.I got to sign up for that one.I’m sure I’ve racked up enough credits already.”

Sean laughs,then jumps when the coach shouts in his ear.The bastard’s so close.“Cut the gossip,ladies!If you can chat,you can pick up the pace!”

Tamping down his grin,Cordero speeds ahead and Sean hurries to catch up.When he draws alongside Cordero again,Sean looks back to make sure the coach is out of earshot,then mutters from the corner of his mouth,“Jesus.”
