324 Game: @ Quincy High School 1 (1/2)

After the session, Mr. Atkins drove us home, where the other boys were already waiting. We quickly changed into our uniforms and headed for the door.

”Wait a minute!” Mrs. Atkins came from downstairs as well, holding some clothing. She started to take a piece out of the pile and handed them out. I held a heavy sweatshirt in my arms. ”It's supposed to be colder in the mountains tonight. I know you all are wearing long sleeves underneath the jerseys but it won't hurt to have something extra just in case.” She looked at the twins. ”Especially you two. Garret has the start tonight so it's best if you keep warm in the bullpen.”

”Thanks Mom.” The twins chimed in unison, putting the sweatshirts in their respective bags.

Zeke did the same after nodding in agreement.

Noah started to put the sweater on right away. ”It gets cold on the bus too. Thanks Mom.”

I mimicked Noah's actions and put it on.

”Does it really?” She looked concerned. ”Should I get some scarves and gloves too?”

”Nah.” Dave told her. ”Noah's just a baby.”

”It's because he doesn't have enough body fat to keep him warm.” Kyle laughed, patting Noah's head. ”Little kids will always get cold easily.”

Noah brushed his hand off his head. ”Mommm.” He complained.

”Okay, that's enough.” Mr. Atkins walked in. He pointed at his watch. ”If you boys don't get going, we'll have to drive you ourselves. You know your coach likes you all traveling as a team.”

”Let's go.” Zeke hitched his bag higher on his shoulder and headed out the front door. The twins followed right behind him.

I started to follow Noah out, but stopped for a second. I turned back to their parents. ”Thanks.” Then I rushed to catch up with the others. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Today's game would be at Quincy High School, up in the mountains again. Like before, we would be traveling with the JV and Freshmen teams instead of the Varsity girls softball team.

We arrived at the school, parked, grabbed our bags and made our way to the bus. Mr. Atkins was saying that we were running late and I guess it was true since we were the last ones to board the bus from the three teams.

No one on our team said anything besides the normal greetings, but I could see the glares coming from the back of the bus. I put my head down and sat on one of the empty benches with Noah on the window side.

Noah tugged on his hood as the bus started to move. ”I'm going to take a nap. Your therapy sessions are mentally tiring. Plus, it's a two hour drive. Are you going to be okay with that?”

I nodded and put my own hood on. ”Yea, I'll sleep too.”

But I didn't, because I couldn't. Noah was able to lean against the window and fall asleep in minutes while my eyes could only close. Just because I felt better, didn't mean I was better. Being surrounded by strangers and even familiar faces didn't make it any easier.

Most of the guys on the bus had the same idea I guess, since the bus became quiet even though there were 60+ boys on it. The ride to the mountains took an hour and a half before we reached the school. It was beautifully hidden with the forest surrounding the whole area. Everyone started to wake up and make a move to get off the bus.
