Zeke revealed a small smile. "I heard from Noah that you were taking a day off." I started to fidget, but he continued. "Same here. Figured we could spend our day together."

I was shocked. 

Grampa was skeptical. "You have a random Wednesday off? No school? No practice? How did you make it home without a car?"

Zeke sat down next to Grampa, relaxing into the couch. "I borrowed Rhys's car. No practice today since we had a game yesterday. As for school, I can miss a class or two. Not all of them take attendance."

Grampa squinted at him. "Sounds like you were already prepared to take a mental health day of your own."

Zeke let out a short chuckle. "You've caught me."

My jaw dropped. 

"Underestimated college baseball?" Grampa asked, smirking. 

I was even more stunned. 

Grampa looked to me. "You were too preoccupied last night. Zeke here didn't do so well in his own game last night."
