“He was pissed.” I shrugged a shoulder and walked toward one of the shower heads, unwrapping my towel and hanging it on the hook before turning the stream on. “Lost my car for the semester. You?”
I stepped into the water and began rinsing off. I used the 2-in-1 body wash attached to the wall to wash the sweat from my hair and body, waiting for Alex’s response.
“Scot-free, my friend.” The smugness was in his voice. I didn’t bother to look over at him to see the expression on his face.
Kid got out of damn near everything.
“What about you, Matthew?” Alex yelled over the sound of the showers running. I looked to my left to see Matt walking in, using a shower on the other side of the large shower room.
“Grounded for a month,” he said. “No big. I’m always fucking grounded.” He laughed around the last part of his statement.
“I have to bum rides from Alexis,” Ty said with a groan. Alexis was his older sister by a year. She was a senior and hated to be seen with Ty, regardless of the fact he was only a grade below her.
“Any of the girls get caught?” Matt asked. “Al didn’t.”
I shook my head, rinsing my body of suds. “Not Mo.” I looked around. “Any of you with Rox?”
“Nah, she split pretty quickly,” Ty answered. “I didn’t see her today, though.”
“I did. Third period. She’s good.”
“Go fucking figure, just the guys,” Alex said, shaking his head.
I turned off my water and after towel drying, wrapped the cloth around my hips. “Yeah, well. At least we didn’t get tickets.”
“Your daddy would have paid it off anyway,” Alex yelled behind me. Not bothering to turn and give him the satisfaction of my pissed off face, I shot him the bird over my shoulder. Unfortunately, it only made Alex laugh louder.
I had better things to do than argue with these assholes.

“Good practice?” Mo asked the moment I slid my ass into her tiny car. I’d already put my gear in her trunk so I lifted my backpack and moved it between our seats, dropping it down on the floor behind us.
“It wasn’t bad.”
“Oh, short answers,” Mo said around a grin. “What’s up?”
I shrugged a shoulder, flipping down the visor in front of me. “Alex is an asshole, but nothing is new there.”
I looked over at her, taking in her partially grinning, but completely laughing, face. “What?”
“You’re cute, that’s all.” She put her hand on the gear shift between us but before she could get us moving, I leaned in to kiss her on the lips.
“Cute, ‘ey?” I asked against her lips, loving the feel of her smile against my mouth.
“Really cute,” she whispered before pecking my lips once more. She pulled back and put the car in drive. I took that as my cue to sit back and put my belt on.
“You had to be home by seven, you said?” Mo glanced at me before looking back to the road. She pulled her sunglasses off the top of her head as she drove.
“Yeah, seven.” I relaxed in the car seat. “Want to head to the park or something, chill?”
“My parents are out to dinner. We can head to my house. Then we’re close to your house and can spend more time together?” The question was in her voice, but it held much more promise than just ‘spending time together.’
I grinned and reached over, putting my hand on her leg. “Sure. I could be game with that.” She lowered her right hand from the steering wheel, putting it on top of mine. I turned my hand under hers, linking our fingers and squeezing once.
Mo’s grin was big, but I was pretty sure mine was bigger.
