V3 ch293 @ Porterville HS (1)

We weren't the only ones to see the changes and updated lists. Early Monday morning, it felt like everyone in the school had their eyes on me. Some were excited for me and the whole team, asking us when the next home game was. Noah took over as spokesperson and acted as a buffer. Not all were happy for me. There were a few people in the outer edges that looked on in disbelief or frustration. My favorites were those that didn't care at all. 

I was happy to leave for our away game at lunch time, boarding the bus with the varsity softball team. Noah and I were one of the first on, followed by Kyle. He sat right behind us...that was unusual. 

Dave wasn't too far behind, but when he got on, Kyle didn't let him sit beside him. 

"Marie will sit next to me."

"You can't sit next to your girlfriend on the way to the game." Dave rolled his eyes, but still sat on the bench across the aisle. 

Noah rolled his eyes too, but didn't say anything.
