Chapter Six
Luke
Winning those first few games so spectacularly definitely did not prepare us for hitting a little skid immediately after that. We're still practicing hard, if not to pre-opener levels, and we feel like the team is clicking when we scrimmage, but it's not going as well in the actual games.
This particular game is fucking terrible. I can say that straight up. We stink by every possible measure and lose, inevitably. Nothing works: no strategy, no rushes, nothing. Even our passing is barely functional. We're too shitty for Coach to even nag us about it, instead trying to pep us all up afterward with a little speech about how hard we'd tried and how we'd do better next time.
It still didn't do much for the mood as we ride back to the motel. I feel antsy, my leg jiggling as I try to sit still, boiling right out of my skin. I want to do something, anything other than go back to the room and sleep like a good little boy, but no one seems to be in the mood. Everyone's droopy and glum, ready to pass out and deal with it all tomorrow. So boring.
"I'm going to shower," Connor says as we let ourselves into our room.
"Whatever." I pull my laptop out of my bag and flop down on my bed as the water starts running in the bathroom.
There's nothing exciting in my email or my notifications or anywhere. I'm contemplating sit-ups, but the muscles in my legs are reminding me that I did play some hard minutes tonight, no matter how useless it felt, and I should knock it off. It's hard to do nothing in this room with Connor right there, everything still weird as fuck between us.
We've barely spoken since he kissed me at Matt's party. Bizarrely, it hasn't been as much of an issue as you'd think. The couple home games since the opener have been a mixed bag, but our partnership has been flying along. You'd think the team would find it weirder when we spent last year sniping at each other, but Coach Ransome is definitely priding himself on fixing a problem and I guess they're all following his lead.
Even so, I still never know what he's thinking. Which is one thing in the dressing room, but now is the first time we've had to be alone together since that night. Just another little itch in the big ball of things that are making me twitchy right now.
The wall between me and the bathroom is thin. I can hear Connor humming in there, even over the sound of the water. It's something totally unrecognizable, probably a pop song, but he's no songbird and those notes are off-key enough to make even my tone-deaf ears cringe.
It's way too cheerful for my mood right now, I can say that much. By the time Connor's turning off the water, I'm working myself up into a real mood, feeling even crankier than I was before.
Until Connor comes around the corner, dripping wet.
