V2 ch76

Andy seemed to understand the weird relationship between me and Jeremy. To ease the conversation, I offered to bring an autograph baseball card for him and Julian tomorrow. Andy nodded, more enthusiastic than his usual plain expression. He must be an A's fan. 

We spent the afternoon together as a group, trying out the different speeds of the cages, with Noah trying to start some kind of competition. Too bad for him there was nothing to bet on. Especially because he still owed me a spare bat. A bat that we looked for after having some fun outside. 

"I think it's a good idea to get another bat, but why is Noah paying for it?" Julian asked as we looked around the few items that the old man had for sale. 

"I lost a bet." Noah rolled his eyes. 

"You did!?" Julian was surprised. 

Noah glared for a second at Andy's back as he was browsing a different section. "Yea...sometimes I can't judge people as well as Jake here."
