346 Game: @ Etna H.S. 1 (2/2)

”Hey, hey! Did you set that up?” Dave asked, looking excited.

Noah nodded proudly.

”Excellent!” Dave held out his fist and Noah bumped it with his own. ”I wonder if he has the jitters now.”

”He better not, or I know who to hold responsible.” Zeke appeared out of nowhere, making the three of us jump.

Dave immediately pointed at Noah. ”It was all him. I knew nothing.”

Noah glared. ”You dummy. Zeke was bluffing. How could he have known it was me?”

”Welp. I gotta go talk to Kelvin, over there. Discuss our injuries, you know? Okay, good luck out there, bye.” Dave hurried away from the perpetrator and the investigator. I guess I would be the bystander.

Zeke stared Noah down, waiting for an explanation.

”It was all in good fun.” Noah shrugged. ”They would have found out the time and location from someone else.”

”But how would they know that Kyle was pitching today?” Zeke raised an eyebrow.

”They could have asked the other guys too.” Noah claimed. ”If Kaylee had asked Jake, he would have told them. C'mon, stop being such a party-pooper”

Zeke rolled his eyes. ”Use your head a little more, little brother.” He turned away and walked over to Coach.

”What does that mean?” Noah asked.

”Noah! You little twat!” Kyle reappeared, and started to shake Noah by his shoulders. ”Why would you do this to me? Are you trying to sabotage my love life?”

”Sabotage?!” Noah gasped. ”I'm trying to help it! You should be thanking me!”

”Bro, how!” Kyle used his hands to turn Noah to the visitor stands. ”Look! Mom and Dad are here! Are you dumb enough to think they won't start introducing themselves once they hear them cheer for me?? As soon as she tells them her name, Mom and Dad are going to know that this is the girl, I broke curfew for.”

Technically we broke curfew too, but right now didn't seem like a good time to jump in.

”Well, they would know eventually, right?” Noah defended himself.

”Yea! After I tell them how good she is in school and softball. We went to a party! I still needed time for them to forget, forgive, and feed them details about how good of a person Marie is.” Kyle looked like he was about to meltdown. Jitters may be the least of our worries.

”You're way too much.” Garret came over and slapped Kyle on the back. ”Parents don't care too much about high school relationships. The odds are already in their favor...high school relationships last, on average, three months. They probably just think it's puppy love.”

”Are you cursing me too?!” Kyle turned to glare at him.

”No, idiot.” Garret knocked him on the head. ”There's Nothing you can do about it now. Just let it be. Your parents aren't rude enough to scare her off. I'm just saying, if they don't like her, they'll probably just let nature run its course. It's up to you and Marie how it'll work out in the end. Stop acting so dramatic.”

That seemed to settle Kyle down ”Right. Right. Mom and Dad won't be mean to her or anything. It'll be okay...at least until I get home.” He gulped.
