Ryan let us go for the night and some of the guys gathered in smaller groups. I turned tail and headed back for my room I shared with Noah. A part of me wanted to show these guys I was friendly and worthy, but the idea was nixed when I heard them talking about me. It was just too awkward.
Back in the room, Noah didn't come back until I was done with my shower and already getting in bed.
He looked surprised for a second, but then laughed. "Let me guess, you came back to the room instead of hanging with your teammates?"
I have a weak shrug. "I didn't know them."
"That's okay. It's just casual conversation anyways." Noah threw his bag down. "Where's the snacks?"
I pointed where I had set it after taking it out of my bag.
Noah grabbed a bag of pretzels and sat down on the bed to eat. "You'll have to try to be more outgoing when the final roster is settled though."
I sighed and pulled my blanket up higher.
still fighting stomach issues. it’s not the end of the world, but I’m moving slowly in life. today the dodgers won their first spring training game and that did make me feel a little better (and inspired). so here’s to hoping to finish the month better than I started.
