"You played well." I told Kaylee Tuesday morning in our first class, putting my backpack beside my chair.

"Thanks." She smiled.

"Are you and Marie coming to our game?" Noah asked.

"I don't think so. Maybe if Kyle was pitching."

"Wowww." Noah exaggerated. "I see how it is. We stick around and cheer for you girls, but you can't do the same."

Her lips twitched. "It's not the same. You were going to stay anyways. Plus, I heard that your Coach has been keeping some starters on the bench. And if that's enough, you have people to sit with. I won't. Marie is not going to stay when Kyle isn't pitching. It just won't happen."

"You don't have any other friends?" Noah was skeptical.

"Now you want me to bring my own friends? Am I in charge of your cheer squad or what?"

Noah looked to me. "Help me out here, Jake."

"How...?" I asked, unsure of what to say.

"Give her a reason to watch the game."
