“It’s roommates before bros,” I defend Cody.
“You hearing this?” he asks Bria, who turns paler than normal. I’m afraid she’s going to pass out. “You better watch your back with Riles here.”
“It wasn’t even a thing with Theo. He’s—”
“Prove it. Show up to my game tomorrow,” Oz dares, which should drop him in points because either he’s been hit too many times in the head, or he didn’t pay enough attention last night when I said I was going. But he’s hot, so I decide to let it pass this once. “Bring Bria, too, would ya?”
Before I have a chance to reply, my text alert goes off, and so does Bria’s.
We both grab our phones and immediately.
“Monday through Thursday, six until eight until December? Holy shit, it’s like we’re on vacation all over again.”
“Sweet,” Bria says in her normal voice now, because like everyone else on the team, she eats, sleeps, and breathes gymnastics, so she’s basically forgotten all about the guys.
Another text comes through, and Bria says, “And four days, two hours of alternating weights or yoga for an hour and tapes.”
“Silver lining: we’re going to be so bendy,” I joke.
“Now you’re speaking my language.” Oz wags his brows, and just like that, Bria is on fire again.
In her defense, freshman year I reacted that way too, until Ellie exposed me to the Ice hockey team. I’ve adapted.
“How are you only required sixteen hours a week and getting two full days off?” Hart asks.
“Three days off,” I correct with a smile.
“That’s bullshit,” he grumbles.
“They don’t start their regular season until January,” Cody interjects.
“Well, shit. Then you’ll be able to make all of our games.” Oz winks.
“Depends on how you play this season. I’m not freezing my ass off to watch you all lose.”
“So, are you saying if we win—”
“When we win,” Cody cuts him off.
“Right, of course.” He winks at me. “When we win tomorrow, you’re going to come to all of our—”
“Let’s not get to ahead of ourselves.”
“One game at a time then.”
“Sounds much better.” I nod.
“Incentive this for me. When we win, you agree to go out with me Thursday night.”
“Not gonna work, recruitment starts Wednesday and doesn’t end until Sunday.” I totally hide how excited I am to be part of this, but I am so freaking stoked.
“They don’t let you eat?” He laughs.
“Guessing we eat there.”
