Free Solo

Balto and I walk towards the exit door for aways then I look back and see nobody following us.

"You coming or what?" I question.

The team quickly gather their bags then they follow me out of Graves Annex. Once outside the Annex we walk 450 feet to the Conibear Shellhouse where the athletic dining hall is.

"Wait is this where you went to University?" Jordan asks as we walk into the dining hall.

"Yep." I say.

All of us get some food then we head to the seats by the window's which overlook Lake Washington and start eating.

"Ah shit they let the Bitch back in." Some guy behind me says.

"Is your dumbass still on the football team" I say then I turn around and face the dude who tried to get with me after I broke up with Maya. "What do you want now Cody?"

"When are you gonna let me fuck?" Cody asks as some of my old American football buddies chuckle.

"You really wanna sleep with a girl who has a bigger dick than you?" I question.

"It is not."

"Oh I bet it is." Daan says.

"And who are you?" Cody asks

"I'm her girlfriend." Daan sassily says.

"Oh you're a lesbian." Cody says.

"You gotta fucking problem with that?" Ryan, one of my football friends, says. "Nah you know what let's go."

Ryan and the rest of my friends on the football team lead Cody out of the dining hall then I lose sight of them.

"Well then." Jordan says.

"Ladies." Coach Joe says causing everyone to look at him. "Our bus had to go get gas and he's stuck in traffic so it'll be thirty more minutes until we head to the ballpark."

"Okay." Leah says then she looks at me. "Wanna show us around?"

"Sure." I say then the team and I finish our snacks.

Once we're finished eating we throw our trash away then I show the girls around campus.

I show them the soccer field first then we head to the dorm I was in my freshman year.

"And this is Willow Hall where I lived my freshman year." I say.

"Who'd you live with?" Jordan asks.

"Maya." I say. "This is how we met."

"How's she doing with everything?" Katie asks.

"A lot better than me." I say.

Maya's doing a lot better than me because she actually talked about everything that happened with a therapist after it happened and I buried it down when it happened.

"Where did you stay after your freshman year?" Kim asks to move the conversation along.

"My childhood home." I say. "Maya, our friend who played softball named Sis Bates, and myself lived there our Sophomore, Junior, and senior years."

"Where were your classes?" Manuela asks.

"This way." I say then we walk towards the building I had the bulk of my classes in.

Thirteen minutes later we arrive at the Physics-Astronomy Building which is also called the PAB.

"This is where a bunch of my classes were." I say then we all get a text

The text is from Coach Joe telling us the bus is on the way.

The team and I head back to the Conibear Shellhouse and we arrive right as the bus pulls up so we get on the head to T-Mobile Park.

Twenty minutes later we pull up to T-Mobile Park so we get out, get our tickets, then head up to the suite we'll be using.

"Audi, how did you get these seats?" Lisa asks as we relax in our suite.

"The girl who I learned sign language for is the granddaughter of the owner of the Mariners and he was so grateful that I learned sign language for his grand daughter that he said I could use a suite anytime and everything we need would be on him." I say.

"Oh...Sweet."

"Audi?" Leah says.

"Yeah." I say as Daan leans her head on my shoulder.

"Which position is Daan's position?"

"Excuse me?" Daan asks and looks at the blonde.

"You know." Leah says. "Shortstop."

"Oh thank fuck." I say and breathe a sigh of relief. "I thought you mean something else?"

"Oh god no." Leah says and shakes her head. "I do not need to know that."

"No you do not." Daan says then she lays her head back on my shoulder.

"Shortstop is that one." I say and point to the player playing in-between second and third base.

"I'm not that short." Daan mumbles as the first pitch is thrown.

"No you are not." I say then I kiss my girlfriend's head. "You're perfect just the way you are."
