The next day, I felt a little uncomfortable when it came time to go to school. It wasn't so much the school aspect, but seeing my team. It wasn't the biggest breakdown I've had...but it's the first of the year. With new teammates. I guess I was just embarrassed mostly. 

Mr. Miller didn't say anything about me being gone yesterday. The first thing he said was, "You ready for Saturday?"

I nodded. 

"Tough first game." He said, driving Noah and me up to the school's main building. "We're going to need you in your best mental state."

"I'm okay now." I spoke up. 

Mr. Miller nodded. "Happy to hear it."

"Zeke came down from school and took him to the cages." Noah ratted me out. "I'd feel better too if I could skip school and play around."

"How is he doing? College giving him a hard time yet?"

"No way!" Noah scoffed. 

"He's adjusting." I repeated what Zeke had told me yesterday. 

Noah turned back to look at me.
