Sean POV

Lunch the next day

The game yesterday was on a Thursday so we still had to go to school today on Friday

It was weird, our school didn't have many upperclassmen tryout for the team so the team this year was mostly composed of freshman

So our school usually lets the bench play against opposing junior varsity and freshman teams and the starters don't play to keep things fair

And there's a game for them today so the team is still lively and energetic over the upcoming game

I head over to the table and see it full...people even pulled up separate chairs to squeeze in

"Oh sorry dude I told the Chloe she could sit with me today" Julian said to me as there were two girls next to him one being his girlfriend and "And she couldn't leave her friend Lexee by herself"

"It's okay dude" I said as it honestly wasn't a big deal

"And tell Josh the same thing" Julian said and now I understood, he didn't want me and Josh near him today

"Kay"

I saw Josh walking towards the table with his lunch but I shook my head no

"What's wrong?" Josh asked me and I explained Julian to him "Wow if anything I should be the one upset!"

"I thought you would have gotten over it" I said as we started looking somewhere to eat

"I would have if coach didn't text me to say I'm playing with junior varsity today" Josh said as I found Kaycee and her friend Bailey

"Really? Why?" I asked as Josh just followed me to Kaycee's table with no questions asked

"He said I needed to calm down and focus so basically he's benching me" Josh said as we sat down in front of Kaycee and Bailey who were confused

"Um hi Sean, hi Josh" Kaycee said to us

"Hey our table is full do you mind if we sit here?" Josh asked trying to be polite

"Its cool! Good game yesterday!" Bailey said to us

"Thanks" I said "Well looks like we're finally hanging out!"

"Does this count as hanging out?" Kaycee questioned

"I mean what did you think hanging out would be? Like a date or something?" Josh joked

"N-no! It's just we all been in dance together for years but we don't know each other that well" Kaycee said

"Wait you've known each other for years but never hanged out?" Bailey asked us

"I mean me and Josh used to hang out all the time but us and Kaycee... nope" I said as excluding dance jobs we never spent time outside of school and dance class together

"To be fair you used to always hang out with Tati and Tahani" Josh added which I agreed with as those three were inseparable
