Ty's POV

I open my locker and shoved all my things inside. There's the bickering and loud shoving of people in the locker room as we get prepared for tryouts. After I shut my locker closed, I see Kaydon leaning against his in deep thought.

Nodding to a few teammates walking by, I stand next to him and he lifts his head up to meet my gaze. He looks stressed and determined at the same time. "Hey." he mumbles and I put a hand on his shoulder for support.

"You got this man," I encourage him and he chuckles. His shoulder shaking. Today is the day. Football tryout day. The three of us already know we'll be on the team—courtesy of Harry—but we're still going to try anyway. Kaydon here is trying to beat the shit outta Zach to get the captain spot for this year.

Blake walks over to us, handing out our helmets. "You look like you're about to throw up. Swallow the puke and get your shit together!" he shakes Kaydon's shoulders. Kaydon looks unimpressed and he sighs, taking a swig of his water.

"Where is Zach anyway?"

The slam of a locker makes me jump as I turn my head to see Zach with a smug grin on his face walking over to us. His blonde hair wet from sweat and his ocean-blue eyes narrowed at Kaydon. I step in front of Kaydon but Kaydon pulls me back so that he's in front of me and Blake.

Zach salutes. "Kaydon. Boys." he looks up at us and Blake stifles a laugh.

Blake and I don't respond and Kaydon crosses his arms and looks down on him. His height is hilarious compared to us and he knows it. Zach clears his throat and stays silent for a few moments.

"You ready for your ass to get kicked, Murphy?" Blake snorts and I shove him with my elbow.

Kaydon steps away from the locker, getting closer to Zach. Kaydon narrows his eyes at him. "I don't know man, are you?"

Zach doesn't even look phased and he steps closer to Kaydon. The two are inches apart.

"I think I'm ready to take my spot I deserve."

"You deserve nothing."

That shuts him up. Zach is red in the face and has a vein popping out of his throat while Kaydon just smirks down at him. I feel Blake moving closer to me as the tensions rise. Blake pats my shoulder and I lean close enough to hear him.

"I'm betting on Kaydon if shit gets out of hand," he whispers. I whip out a 20 dollar bill between my fingers and we watch the two bicker.

"You aren't just going in and being captain, new guy. It isn't how this shit works," Zach points out. Kaydon's mouth opens to reply but he stops and turns his head towards the exit. We hear a door open and close and our coach's face pops in from the arch way.

Coach walks in with folded arms and a cap on. His face is scanning the situation and his eyes are deadlocked on Zach. I can see Zach shrinking, wishing he wasn't in this situation.

"We got a problem here?"

I see Zach visibly gulp and I stop myself from laughing. I feel Blake's shoulders shaking as he hides his face behinds my shirt and from the corner of my eye I see Kaydon holding a fist to his mouth, suppressing a smile.
