After drilling on the field for an hour, the five guys headed to the weight room. At the suggestion of the trainer, Waseem upped the weight Emmett was lifting on the leg press. His stats on the jumps were acceptable, but that wasn’t good enough for Emmett. His orientation was a handicap in the world of professional sports. He needed to excel in every way he could.

Meanwhile, Waseem was holding Brent at twelve reps on the bench press. Brent was pushing to do more, and Waseem was glad to be there looking out for him. Brent didn’t have a good feel for his own limitations.

Waseem got the impression that Brent’s parents were responsible for that. They’d taught him to be achievement oriented, and maybe hadn’t given him the nurturing he needed. It was almost like while he was still in the womb, they had printed out a checklist of all the things he was supposed to accomplish, and he was going down them one by one.

In a lot of ways, he was a pretty conventional guy. Get good grades, be a good athlete, help your neighbor, make your parents proud. But when had Brent ever done anything for himself? Waseem would have to help him learn how to have fun. Because if he didn’t learn to take himself less seriously, things could get bad if his parents found out he was gay.

Waseem doubted that Brent’s parents would actually disown him. But still, a rift in the relationship would be one more change after so many in the past few weeks. Brent needed his friends around him, a strong support network. Waseem wanted to be part of that.

But the fact was, come football season next year, Waseem would be elsewhere, hopefully coaching high school football somewhere in North Carolina. He and Brent might have Sundays together, but that was it. Even if their relationship survived, Brent would need more than Waseem to help him through if his parents cut him off.

They hit the showers. Then, they headed to the cafeteria—all except Niels, who had a date with Claire. Waseem couldn’t believe the two of them were actually a couple, but Niels seemed to be serious about her. More than Waseem had ever seen him, at least.

Jake and Amber were already at the caf with their friends Glenda and Seth. The four newcomers got their food and joined them. Waseem hadn’t meant to sit next to Brent. It ended up that way when Emmett took the seat next to Jake, and Demonté the one next to Amber. Now Waseem would have to spend the whole meal not touching Brent, while a current flowed between them like an electromagnet pulling them together.

They were an unlikely group, the football players and the science nerds. Although Amber would have smacked Waseem pretty hard if he called her a nerd to her face. She looked like she could have stepped out of a fashion magazine. Even when she went running, she wore some cute little designer number, when everyone else was in sweats or a track suit that was starting to fade.
