"Zeke got them started and we've been trying to keep up ever since." Mom put her fingers to her temples and rubbed. "If I had known then what I knew now, I would have made them try multiple hobbies. I took the easy way out, letting them all play the same sport."
I nodded. "I got to see everyone pitch yesterday so I would but those two at the top this weekend. Especially Cody. No one has a faster breaking ball."
Dad opened his door too. "This is the responsibility of the driver, son. We'll see you inside. Take your time and pay attention to safely." He paused after getting out. "Maybe you'll get lucky and find a spot before the first game ends, then we'll be outside waiting for you." He shut the door.
Garret let out a short laugh. "Yea? I have to be. Can't put my future at risk for a little speed. Getting somewhere ten seconds faster won't be worth it if I hurt myself drive unsafely. I think I learned a lot from Zeke. About taking care of yourself in all aspects to prepare for a lifetime of baseball."
We finished lunch before the bell and headed for our lockers. We had cooking with Alisha and our missing member, Kaylee. At first I was a little worried about he absence again, but Alisha was already telling us that she was fine and could have gone to school today, but wanted to focus on rehab instead.
I shrugged. "I didn't wake up crying or sick or anything. Just needed to get up. As soon as I thought it was okay, I started to get dress. I didn't think that would make you all rush."
Alisha helped open one of the packages and let Kaylee have one of her choosing. Kaylee took one and waved it away. "Let Noah have one before he burns a hold through me. It's like he's never had one before. The look he gives makes me uncomfortable."
"I think we should take the opinions of the whole team first." I spoke up. The three of them looked to me. "Well, it's not fair to pick Sunday just for us, right? Like what if they all prefer Friday night like last year. I rather miss then make someone else miss if we do it Sunday."
Andy didn't seemed surprised in the slightest. He accepted the award like it was a matter of fact. He didn't hold it up with pride and just merely told Coach Luis 'thanks' before stepping back in line.
"Speaking of which, do you want to go to his game on Sunday with us?" Noah offered. He glanced at Alisha. "You too, Alisha. So far it's just me and Noah going with Dave, so you would have to make sure your parents is okay with him being the driver."

Dad didn't look too upset, but he didn't sound please. "I hope you have a good way to explain it to your mother." He looked at our suits hanging up in the open closet. "Make sure to thank your Grampa properly."
Jeremy: Jack won't be directly in charge of Carson's contract and money, but he will still have some input. After all, he is his dad. I hope they didn't upset you with their presence. Rose said you didn't look it.
Dave pulled the car into our driveway. "Don't care about them, Noah. I think you did the right thing. When Rhys had surgery, he was depressed and it took a lot of effort from Zeke to get him feeling good again."
"Alright, simmer down." Coach motioned for everyone to zip it. "I know you're all riding on the high of a victory, but let's not get carried away just yet. We have to clean up and pack up. I know a couple of gentlemen want to ask a few postgame questions." He looked to Garret than to me. "You two are the star of the show."
