Fiorella: Cillian is the best player on the team
Giovanna: Um. EXCUSE ME?
Ares: FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
Apollo: *Handing popcorn down the row* My money’s on Gia. She’s vicious
Fiorella: Seriously? WTF
Apollo:
Luciana: Wait, what are we betting on? Never mind, I just read the earlier texts. You all have lost it
Ares: Who are you siding with?
Luciana: I’m not taking any sides. I love everyone equally
Adonis: Chicken
Luciana: Who you calling a chicken? Come say that to my face, Pudge
Apollo: *snicker*
Easton:
Emerson: LOL
I laugh as I read the texts. This is why I miss all of them so much. Even though we check in with each other daily, it’s just not the same as being able to hang out with them.
“Hey, can we join you and your crew for dinner? Also, I miss everyone back home.” Ezra asks. He’s laughing as he joins me.
“Sure. Aren’t you guys having your dinners too? We can do one big dinner if you all want to, I’m just meeting the three new guys tonight.”
“That sounds good. I’ll call and make sure they have a room we can all fit in,” Elias says as he gets on his phone.
“I also think Rella’s going to get back at Adonis for that comment.” I laugh.
“He’s a brave one. I would never say that if I was within striking distance of her.” Elias shudders.
“What do you consider striking distance?” I chuckle.
“Anywhere in the United States.”
I snort as I get into the pool. It’s still chilly out, but luckily our pool is enclosed and heated.
“Okay, they said they have a room we can have for dinner. Reservations are fixed,” Elias tells us.
“Awesome. We have a couple of hours before we have to leave,” I say as I float around.
“Do you know anything about your new crew?” Easton asks.
“Only that one’s from Italy, one’s from Ireland and one’s from the United States.”
“Wow. An American on a GP team? How did that happen? Did he work for another rider?”
“No, Matteo said the American has really good credentials from school. And he had a lot of letters of recommendations from the team he’s working for now. So he thought we should give them a shot.”
“That’s cool, I can’t wait to see how they all do.”
