Chapter 182: Game One: Sunset Preparatory (4)

Garret left to go sit beside Jordan and probably to speak about his pitching. I felt bad not saying anything encouraging like Noah did, but Garret didn't look bothered. He was strictly focused on his pitching and how the first inning went down.

The top of the second inning brought up Sean, Julian, and Chris so I felt that there was a pretty good chance of me coming up to bat. I set my glove down and changed my hat out for my helmet.

Noah wiggled his eyebrows. "Think I should get ready too?"

I shrugged. "Nothing is guaranteed. We could possibly make it to you again."

Noah dragged me into a loose headlock. "Aw! I'm so proud! Look how positive you're becoming!"

"We could also go three up, three down." I mumbled.

He shoved me away. "Don't put that out there in the universe! Take it back!"

"I take it back...?"

Noah sighed with relief. "Thank goodness. Never say that kind of stuff. The universe is always listening."
