"Some history between you two?" Ryan asked.

I gave a small shrug. "We're in the same league."

"Wow. And I thought you would just breeze through everyone." Ryan laughed.

I gave a weak smile, not feeling as good as I did before. My mind was still on Cody's matchup as I took on the next few pitchers. It didn't hold me back though. I calmly put every ball in the outfield, starting a new streak of sorts. Then it was another familiar face. Danny.

He headed straight for me instead of the mound. I tried to stay calm, reminding myself that I just had lunch with this guy. He's similar to Noah with how loud and energetic he was, but he didn't have any bad intentions.

"Jake, how's it going?" He asked with a small smirk, throwing me off.

"Okay, I guess." I gave a small shrug, glancing back at Ryan, not sure how he felt that we weren't jumping right into the challenge.

"Yea, can't be great since I heard you lost to Cody."
