SO THE deal was, they were going to write up a contract for me to sign the next day. In the meantime, they said, some of the guys on campus were having a party, and I was welcome to join them to experience what college life was like after class. I didn’t feel like going anywhere, much less a party, but my dad reminded me that this was still an interview, and if I refused, it gave the impression I was rocking the boat.

God forbid the boat is ever rocked.

So around nine there was a knock on the hotel door. I wasn’t that shocked to find basketball Danny standing there. “You ready for some trouble?” he asked with a devilish smile.

I was wearing a button-up shirt and khakis, not sure what proper dress code was. “This too much or not enough?” I asked him.

“As long as you don’t mind having beer spilled on them, it doesn’t matter.” He began to laugh at his own joke when he saw my dad lying on the bed behind me. “Oh, hi, Mr. Greymark, didn’t see you there.” He scratched his head as he tried to find a way to cover himself. “I didn’t mean actual beer. I was talking about….”

My dad waved him off. “I’m not completely ignorant to what goes on at a college party. Go and have fun,” he told me. What he meant was, go and don’t draw attention to myself as a problem child. I grabbed my letterman jacket and followed Danny.

“Your dad is a lot like mine,” he said as we got into his jeep.

“Your dad is a raging asshole who’s distant and unavailable?” I said, buckling myself in.

I saw him give me a sideways glance as he started the car. “Okay then. I guess they aren’t that alike.”

He took us by the campus, and the school looked completely different to me now. Instead of this great institution where Texas history had been made, it looked like a huge beast just waiting to devour me. All the joy of the place had been drained out of me. Now it was just another jail that I was willingly committing myself to.

“So how did the meeting go?” he asked me, turning down the music. “They all slobbering on you to get you to sign?” It would have been easier to dislike this guy if he wasn’t so freaking cute. I don’t mean to say I was attracted to him; I’m just saying he was ridiculously cute for a guy who was taller than most field goals.

“No, nothing like that,” I assured him, not wanting to get into it.

“Ah, well. I don’t know how the baseball department works,” he said, making a turn. “I had UT, USC, and Arizona after me, but I wanted to play here.”

“Must be nice,” I grumbled, trying not to sound like a complete bitch.

“There are going to be some baseball players at this party. You can ask them how they were courted. It’s different for everyone.” We pulled in to what looked like an apartment complex.
