My eyes swam a little bit under the influence of the booze, but there was one thing I could see very clearly. Or one person, more accurately. Faye. She looked absolutely incredible tonight, even better than usual, and it built up the need in my chest to an almost uncontrollable level.

“This is a nice bar,” she mused thoughtfully as she glanced around. “Sometimes you get so stuck in the student scene you forget that there’s more, don’t you? This is much classier.”

“Perfect for you, you look really classy tonight. Anyone would think that you’re on a date.”

Was I flirting? I couldn’t totally tell. It felt like I was stuck somewhere in between desperately wanting to flirt and holding myself back. There were still so many reasons why I shouldn’t be, but they were getting duller and duller in the back of my brain with every passing second.

“You’re very funny, you know that?” she asked me while flicking her hair over her shoulders. “I like that about you. You always know exactly how to make me laugh.”

I was filled with pride, I didn’t think my sense of humor had ever been noticed by a girl before. Then again they rarely stuck around for long enough for that to happen. Usually they were out the door before we even got to know anything about one another. I puffed out my chest with pride.

“Why thank you. Hopefully if today goes well I’ll be the best, funniest football player.”

She touched my hand and gave me a reassuring look. I almost had to snatch my skin away from hers because she sent such a flurry of electricity racing through me, but luckily I managed to keep it there. I didn’t want to start acting weird, that wouldn’t help either of us.

“You will,” she told me gently. “You’ll definitely find you’re place. Even if it isn’t in this team. You’re a good enough player that any team will want you.”

“I want to believe your compliment, I really do, but there’s only one problem… you don’t know anything about football! I don’t even think your time filming me has changed that.”

“I guess not.” Faye was completely unashamed about her lack of knowledge. “But I hear everyone else saying that you’re amazing, so that has to mean something, right?”

I wasn’t sure why I’d brought it up really because I didn’t desperately want to talk about it. Even though I’d been drinking the anxiety was still there. I didn’t know what way the team would go when it came to me, I couldn’t tell at all. The wait could be the thing to kill me.

“Yeah, who knows? I think the YouTube stuff you’ve done has helped though.”

“My camera skills are known for being amazing,” she teased. “So that must be it. People are simply watching the videos for my talent alone. You are just the lucky one who gets to star in them.”

I wasn’t mistaking it anymore, Faye had slid her entire body closer to mine and she was leaning across to grab my attention.
