Chapter Fourteen

“Hustle up, ladies,” Frogger called from the front of the pack as they jogged onto the field for team practice. It was the same warm up ritual they’d always done, but the morning seemed brighter and the air fresher.

Gabby and Natalie picked up the pace just as Brooke appeared out of Gabby’s blindspot. “We still on for the movie tonight?” she asked as she started to pass them.

“Yeah, definitely. After study hall,” she replied with a wide smile on her lightly perspiring face.

Brooke nodded and smiled before turning on her heels and hauling it to the dugout. She couldn’t resist showing off how fast she was, and Gabby’s eyes tracked her the entire way.

“Movie?” Natalie asked with a quirked eyebrow.

At the sound of her voice, Gabby forced her eyes away from Brooke’s body. “It’s for that presentation we have to do together. It’s due at the end of the month just before winter break,” she explained in a tone that signaled she didn’t like the implication there was something more to it than that.

“I don’t know, you guys have been working lots of long hours on that project. I thought you’d be done by now. But if you haven’t even watched the movie, what are you always texting about?”

There was nothing about the loaded question Gabby liked, but the worst part was its accusatory intent. “It’s not like that,” she said defensively, wanting the inquisition to be over. She didn’t need a mirror held up to her actions.

“Not like what?” she asked incredulously, her smile easing the tone. “You text her all night. Send each other little inside jokes. All that’s left is for you to write Mrs. Gabriela Trainor in your notebook. Or maybe you’ll be modern and go with Ms. Gabriela Trainor-Pino,” she teased.

Gabby blushed so hard she was sure she’d sprained something. “Shut up,” she sniped, at a loss for anything better.

“I trust you know what you’re doing. It’s not that I don’t think people can change, but this girl did a number on you once. Just be careful,” she said as she jogged ahead.

Practice had been brutally long. After a quick meal, studying, and a hot shower, Gabby pulled on a pair of loose purple sweatpants and a cut off gray t-shirt. She left her thick brown hair wet, and it decided to hang around her shoulders in waves.

She jumped when she heard Brooke’s voice downstairs, annoyed that someone else had let her in. Adjusting the pillows on her bed for the eighth time, Gabby flung her hair around, giving herself a side part, and then pretended to walk casually down the stairs.

“There she is,” Natalie said, pointing at Gabby. Her best friend did a double take but mercifully said nothing about the mascara and lip gloss she was wearing. Gabby was sure she’d hear about it later.

“Hey,” Brooke greeted her with a light blush on her freckled cheeks. It was apparent she too had showered after practice, except she’d dried her auburn hair straight and opted for leggings and a tank top with a purple and white windbreaker on top.
