"Makai? I didn't know that this was your place." Those were the words that the delivery guy had said, and I was already right by the door when I realized that I knew that voice.
"Oh, hey Ben. I didn't know you worked."
Shit! Ben, as in Ben from the swim team, that Ben was who was at the door right now. Of all the people that could have shown up, why did it have to be someone from the team? That was probably, no, that was definitely the worst thing that could have possibly happened to me, to the both of us.
"Oh, hey Ocean. I thought you were out of town?" Ben had seen me, of course he would.
"Oh, uhm, hey Ben. Yeah, I am going back and forth between here and my aunt's house. I stopped by to get my homework from Makai, that's all."
"Really? Seems like you could have gotten it from the school directly." Ben was looking like he thought this was all a little suspicious, I don't think he believed me at all.
