Preparing for the Big Game

Practice was anything but easy. With Drew personally watching us warmup, there was no way we could slack off. Then came the laps for being late. As I jogged behind Noah, I felt some resentment. If he and Dave didn't come in the locker room, we wouldn't have been late. 

"Why did you guys even come to get me? I was coming." I huffed, trailing behind. 

Noah slowed up, eyeing me. "You were taking so long. I was worried that things didn't go well in court today."

Oh. I looked away feeling guilty. "It was fine. Just what we expected. I gave my blood." I paused before saying, "My uncle was there."

Noah slowed up even more so he could be right next to me. "Did he say anything to you?"

"To me?" I shook my head and gave a depreciating laugh. "No, not really. He said things about me though. Your mom told him off though. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though."
