The Hitting Zone

"Whattt..?" Dave asked, surprised.

Kyle stuttered. "What, wh-what do y-y-you mean..?"

Noah got in my face, filling my vision with only him. "Jake! Do you like someone?? Tell me, tell me, tell me!"

I pushed him away. "What? No." I turned red.

"Then why are you talking about relationships?" Dave asked.

I glanced back to where Chuck was, but he had left. "I don't know. Chuck said something about Jeremy, maybe dating Rose..?"

Three new sets of eyes looked at Rose. She felt the stares and looked our way. She grinned and waved. She said something to the coaches before coming over to us.

"Oh no." Kyle muttered. "Does she know that we know?"

"What do we even know?" Dave asked.

"Can't we just ask her outright?" Noah whispered as Rose got closer.

"Of course not, you dummy." Kyle slapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey Jake, you're back." Rose smiled.

I nodded. That's true. I am back.
