“Yeah,” I say, because it’s all I can say.
“Okay,” he declares, eyes on mine, cheesy smile in place. Back to the old Trevor, he squeezes my shoulder, his thumb digging into the bruise on my collarbone. “You get her pregnant, and I’ll fucking kill you.”

“I look like I’m going to a funeral,” I say, glaring at myself in the mirror. I’m wearing the school-issued suit that the team has to wear when we’re attending the games but are ineligible to play.
Dad sighs, watching me from my bedroom doorway. “I can’t believe you got suspended. And tonight, of all nights, Connor. What the hell—”
“Stop,” I tell him. “Just stop, okay? I know.”
“Well, you have to show up, right? Maybe you can catch the scout before he leaves.”
“Okay,” I say, my eyes drifting shut, shoulders tense, hands balled in frustration.
My phone dings with a text, and I pick it up off my desk.
Ava: BOYS!!
Connor: ?
Rhys: A little early in your relationship for a three-way, but I’m down.
Connor: Gross.
Ava: Hot.
Connor: What’s up?
Ava: Suit up, boys!
Rhys: Huh?
Connor: What?
Ava: Suit up! Or whatever the term is. Get in your uniforms. You guys are playing tonight.
Connor: No fucking way.
I rip off my tie and slip out of my shoes, my grin unconfined.
Rhys: Are you serious?
Connor: How?
Rhys: ^^ what he said.
“What’s going on?” Dad asks.
“Ava got me back in.”
“Good. It’s the least she could do,” he murmurs.
I ignore him. Read the next message.
Ava: I just had to show Brown my boobs. He was very appreciative.
