By dinner time, Zeke had an answer from everyone on the team: hell yes, they'll show up early. He gave me a list of players and parents and told me to take a picture and send it to Jeremy. I complied and sent it. This time I knew there wouldn't be a reply, because we were watching him play on the tv.
"I'm happy to hear that he'll be looking out for you boys." Mr. Atkins told us at dinner when he knew that Jeremy had texted me back during school. "It's a long drive even without traffic. Make sure all your phones are charged."
"I'll have to prepare some snacks tomorrow night." Mrs. Atkins smiled at all of us. "Any special requests?"
"We probably won't have 'all-you-can-eat' seats again so dedicate a whole bag of cookies." Noah suggested.
"Can we have money for hot dogs and drinks though?" Kyle asked.
"Peanuts too?" Dave wanted to know.
