"You know Zeke?" I asked. 

"Everyone knows Zeke." Andy cut in to tell me. "He's the best player to come from Watsonville ever. In any kind of sport. We talked about him all the time in middle school."

I held back a laugh. "Didn't you find it weird to play with him this summer then?"

Andy shook his head. "I was a little awestruck at first. But Zeke is very normal for being as good as he is."

I really let out a laugh. "You think he's normal?"

Andy nodded. "Yea. He's focused on training no matter what he's doing. Even if it's just softball."

"I still can't believe you played softball all summer, dude." Andre lightly punched Andy in the arm. 

Andy pushed him away. "I didn't just play softball. I trained harder than you guys did with that club team."
