Chapter 71 The Athletes' Bond

Ryan It was the last practice of the semester and I took leave of Amelia after we were done with our meals. It felt like torture to leave her but I had to. I didn't even feel assured when Rochelle said she was going to stay with her and catch up with her. I had to eventually leave when I reminded myself that she wasn't going to like it if I acted like a lovestruck dummy around her. I didn't want her to regret dating me by forsaking my life and acting like I didn't have anything else to live for. "Here he comes." Mike shouted as I walked through the door. "Let's all welcome the lover boy." Ethan said, raising his voice. I watched with amusement, hiding my tongue in my cheek as I watched them all rise to their feet and start clapping. I chuckled. "What are you clapping for?" I said as I moved closer to them. "You are dating." Sean explained like I didn't get that already with the way they shouted when I came in. "How is that a big deal? You are all dating someone." I pointed out.
