Chapter 31


    "How do the away meets normally work?" I asked him out of curiosity. He thought for a moment as he


    unstrapped his gloves.


    "For this one, we''ll ride in a bus to the city. We normally stay in hotels and room up together. The bus


    takes us to the venue once for practice then for the actual meet. Afterwards, there''s normally some


    kind of team dinner, then wee back," he answered.

    "Has anyone from the school ever tagged along?" I asked as I undid my own gloves. Sawyer hummed


    thoughtfully.


    "It''s possible. Some students havee along to support other sports. It really depends on when the


    meets are held. Obviously, no one is allowed to miss school for it unless it''s an important meet. Other


    than that, if there''s room on the bus and they don''t have their own practice, other people cane.


    Why? Is Leoing?" Sawyer replied knowingly. I felt my cheeks grow hot as I put my gear on the


    rack.


    "He is my personal manager," I lied. Sawyer chuckled as he set his own gear on the rack.


    "Honestly, I never thought I''d see the day where Leo was close to someone again. We were actually


    friends before his ident. Afterwards, he shut everyone out. I''m d to see that you two are friends.


    Maybe things will start going back to normal for him," Sawyer admitted. Sawyer and Leo used to be


    friends? I could see it as a possibility. Sawyer was a nice guy. He was veryidback and easy to get


    along with. Sawyer pat my shoulder gently before heading to the locker room. I was deep in thought


    when I felt a hand on my shoulder.


    "Your practice ended?" Leo''s voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked at him before I nodded and


    followed him to the locker rooms. I couldn''t shower because Sawyer was in there, so I just grabbed my


    things and headed to my room with Leo. After a long shower, I left my chest unwrapped. The wrap was


    putting more and more pressure on my chest. I tried to leave it unwrapped if I could these days.


    "Sawyer said that if there''s room on the bus, you cane along," I said to Leo as I came out of the


    bathroom. Leo was sitting on the couch with a book in his hand. He nced as me before setting his


    book aside.


    "I know," he replied as I sat next to him. "I''ve gone to a few meets before. I''ll ask for a weekend pass


    and tag along. Then I''ll get a separate hotel room like we didst time. It''ll be safer that way. Plus, I''ve


    noticed that you try to keep the binding off if you can help ittely. Is it giving you problems?" He asked.


    Leo was very observant. I didn''t think he would''ve noticed. I nodded quietly.


    "It''s not a big deal, I''ve just been trying to keep the pressure off of my chest," I tried to brush it off. Leo


    looked like he didn''t believe me.


    "We should go to bed soon," Leo changed the subject anyway. Thankfully, he dropped it for now.
