Lasso | Dwayne Robertson

54. DWAYNE

a/n: sorry guys i've been hella unmotivated and have things going on but i should be getting back to updating more often soon!!

Every day has been the same, school, practice and sleep. I've been working my ass off in my classes, now I've got a B in all of them. 80% on the dot in chemistry. And I was pretty damn impressed with myself.

After practice, I immediately made my way to coach's office. It was time I played, and we have a game tomorrow so what perfect timing.

I knocked on the door, then entered when he called me in

"What can I do for you?"

I sat down "Well coach, proud to say I have a B in every class"

He raised his brows, clicking a few buttons on his computer before he grinned lightly "Well I guess you'll be on the ice tomorrow"

I shot up out of excitement "FINALLY!!!"

"You're starting center"

I nodded smiling

"See what putting in extra work can do for you?"

"I definitely see. Thanks so much coach, I'll see you tomorrow" I smiled brightly exiting

"GET REST" He yelled as I closed the door

Immediately I ran back to the locker room, where I knew most of the team would still be.

"Guess what?" I smiled

A chorus of whats and huhs were heard from the group

"I start center tomorrow"

"YAY KAYBAY IS BACK IN ACTION!!!" Les yelled

"YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I AM FOUR EYES"

"Yeah finally, we needed another tough guy on the ice. Guy can only do so much" Fulton smirked jokingly

"Hey! For your information, I do great!" He defended

Connie grabbed his hand "You do great Guy... but you get knocked on your ass a fair amount of times"

He scoffed rolling his eyes, making everyone laugh. We all finished changing and showering before going our separate ways to our dorms. Dwayne came up to me as I was walking with Julie

"I'll catch ya at the dorm girl" She smiled cheekily

I laughed "I'll see ya in a few"

She ran off, catching up with Russ while Dwayne walked beside me

"I'm glad you're back playing"

"Me too. Greatest feeling ever" I smiled

"I beg to differ" He smirked

I slapped his chest "Dwayne Robertson!" making him laugh

"Seriously though, you're intimidating and you're aggressive. We need you back out there"

"Well I may be a bit rusty but I should be ready. No I am ready"

"Now that's what I like to hear"

Then came an awkward silence, there seemed to be a lot of this lately. I guess there is an elephant in the room... I mean Dwayne just started randomly talking to me again. So it was time I addressed it.

"We need to talk"

His eyes got slightly wide "Whats up?"

"Not here, come one" I said turning on my heel and heading to his dorm

Once we arrived I sat on his bed with him

"So" I said looking into his eyes "Why are you talking to me again"
