chapter sixteen,
right there.

Having the school who beat yours on the same coach for a few long hours was painful. Their morale was high. And your cheerleading team.. just was not on that same level of feeling.

You were all shoved to the front of the bus, while the winning school's basketball team occupied the back seats—it was something about a deal the Shikestu teachers made on behalf of the students. If they won, which they did, they got first dibs on the seats. You didn't care, unless you didn't get the aisle. You would've fought to have an aisle if you didn't.

Motion sickness on coaches was not for the weak.

Your phone pinged.

You looked from the road at the end of the aisle to your phone on your lap. Everyone was asleep, getting their energy reset for the game later this afternoon.

Katsuki and you had been updating each other on your training. Some gym workout recommendations. A conversation about summer plans here and there. Nothing about things to do together—just what each other's plans were between training.
