Their training on the basketball team was going well and they would start in a few days doing the play drills and game simulations to decide the holders for the new basketball team season.

The only problem with that was that he couldn't get any closer to his teammates at this time, who would be tense with position disputes, after training Charlie stopped to talk to him.
