I can imagine what being on the team will be like for me. Right now I'm a nobody. I don't want to be popular or anything but it would be nice to have some people know who I am.

Anyway, I meet Ayla at our usual spot at the front of the school. There's a metal bench in front of the retaining wall that has a flower bed on it and the fountain is a few feet behind the flowers.

We hangout here for a little while before class. "Are you actually going to be joining the team?" Ayla asks while looking around us.

"Yeah, I think so but I mean I still have to go through with the tryout/scrimmage against Malone first."

"Have you heard when the game is?"

"No, not yet but I'll talk to coach later." I say.

The bell sounds, we both grab our bags and head to the door. I open the door for Ayla, she thanks me and walks inside, I follow not to far behind. I walk up next to her, I see Davis and Kain standing face to face by the front office door. They're both glaring at me so I glare back. Ayla must notice my body tense up because she grabs my forearm and pulls me down the hall. I walk past them but I can still feel their eyes on me. I let out a deep breath and Ayla let's go of my arm.

"Wonder what that was about." Ayla asks curiously.

"I- I don't know."

"Do you know who that guy is? Not Kain but the other one."

I turn my head back around to see if they're still staring at me but they went back into their conversation.

Ayla nudges my arm, I turn my head to her and she looks at me with a puzzled look. "Do you?"

"Hmm? What? Uh yeah, I kind of know him well I know about him. I heard he's a bad guy." Ayla looks at me with suspicion in her eyes but nods her head.

We walk to Ayla's locker first then my locker. I walk Ayla to class then I walk to mine. I walk into the history room and Ardyn and Weston are at their seats, I sit in front of Weston.

After history, I find Ayla at her locker. She pulls out her binder, I walk up besides her and lean my back against the lockers. She greets me with a smile, gets her stuff that she needs then closes her locker. My locker is in the hallway over so it isn't that far of a way. We stop at my locker, I switch out my books then we make our way to science.

When the bell rings telling us that class is over, we gather our stuff, walk out of class and to Ayla's locker first. Because you know ladies first. Ayla puts her stuff away then we go to my locker.

"Before we go to lunch I wanna go to see if coach is in his office. I wanna ask him about the scrimmage." I say.

Ayla nods her head, I close my locker door and we head down to the basement. I knock on coach Clutch's door, he turns around in his chair and waves for me to come in. "What can I do for you, sir?"
