“Your football is our soccer.”
“Whatever,” I muttered as we pulled into the parking lot which was crowded already. “The meet doesn’t start for a while yet,” I said, staring at it all.
“Yeah, I’m not parking my baby with all these bad drivers.” Rush decided. He stopped in the center of the lot, directly across from the entrance. “You get out here. I’m taking the car back to the dorm. I’ll walk over.”
“Seriously?”
“Don’t I look serious to you?”
“Actually, you look constipated.”
Rush laughed. “He’s got jokes!”
A knock on the driver’s side window startled me and I looked up. Rush rolled the window down, resting his elbow on the door to lean out slightly. “Hey there, pretty thing.”
A light giggle had my eyes rolling.
“You’re our new swimmer, Rush, right?”
“That’s me.” He replied. “And who might you be?”
“Allison,” she introduced herself. “I just wanted to wish you luck. I’ll cheer for you today.”
“Well, then I’ll definitely be swimming my best.”
Another giggle.
“How about some sugar for good luck?” he asked, puffing out his cheek and patting it with his finger.
I groaned. “I’m getting out before I puke,” I told him as the girl literally leaned down to plant one on his offered cheek.
I walked around the car and up onto the sidewalk toward the entrance, which was propped open. In the doorway, a short girl with orange hair appeared, a camera clutched in her hands.
“Lars!” she exclaimed and smiled.
“Hey, Rory,” I said, dragging my lips into a smile for Ryan’s girlfriend. I met her when we all went to the pizzeria earlier in the week. Her and Jamie’s girlfriend, Madison. Both girls were friendly, beautiful, and could definitely hold their own at a table filled with Elite. I liked them extra when they didn’t ask me at all about Win. “Are you taking pictures today?”
“I always do when I can! I help out with the school news.”
“That’s cool.”
“Smile!” she said, lifting the camera, her face disappearing behind it.
I grimaced, recoiling a bit from the lens. She frowned a little. “Oh, I’m sorry. I should have asked first.”
“No, it’s okay. I’m just not very photogenic.”
Maybe I’d keep a photo of you in my wallet if you took one that wouldn’t embarrass me.I shook off the thought.
“Are you kidding?” Rory gasped, lowering the camera. “You’re gorgeous.” I started to shake my head but she continued. “Everyone’s been talking about the two new Elite and how hot they are. Especially the one with the blond hair.”
I didn’t know what to say.
Thankfully she didn’t seem to expect a reply. “They even have buttons with your name on them for today’s meet!”
I felt my eyes widen. “They do?”
She pulled them out of her pocket laying them in the palm of her hand. “See,” she said, coming forward.
