V2 ch137

Rhys and I split from the bigger group and walked towards the stadium, while the rest went to the practice field. 

"Just to prepare you, Jake." Rhys started to say. "I won't be watching over you today in today's practice."

I looked up at him in disbelief. This dude just said he would do the job Zeke gave him and watch over me. And now he's not?

"It's the batting cages." Rhys shrugged. "I think you'll be in your comfort zone all on your own. I'm a pitcher, and pitchers don't really hit. Coach Nate wants me to work with the pitchers on our team to do something more productive like running and lifting. Would you rather do that?"

I made a face and shook my head. I ran enough yesterday.
