need to do it sooner rather than later. I need to know what I need
to do to transfer schools?"
"Well,
have you been accepted into a school in Texas already?"
"Yes
ma'am. Before I had decided on ASU, I was also offered a scholarship to go to
Texas A&M. I just need to know if there is anything I need to do to
transfer?"
"Give
me a second and I will find out."
I watched as
her five foot nothing frame disappeared behind a partition of sorts. I blew out
a loud gust of air and ran my fingers through my hair. I wasn't exactly sure
how this whole thing was goin' to go over with Kayla or my grandparents, but if
it was a choice between Kayla and ASU, I was choosing Kayla, hands down. I just
hope it wasn't too late to accept the offer from A&M.
While the
girl was still takin' her sweet ass time, I remembered that I still had the
coach from A&M's number. I quickly pulled out my cell and dialed him up. I
knew it was practice time, but I was silently prayin' he would answer.
"Coach
Dunfall, can I help you?"
"Mr.
Dunfall, hi this is Madison Raine. I'm not sure if you remember me, but I was
offered a scholarship to come play ball for y'all this fall. I was just-"
"Of
course I remember you son. It's not very often that a talent like yours, turns
down a school like ours. What can I do for ya?"
"Well
sir, I was kind of hopin' that y'all would be willin' to let me take that
scholarship after all?" I waited with baited breath for him to answer.
When he didn't say something immediately, I would've sworn he was laughin' at
me.
"Mr.
Raine, we would love to have you on our team. As a matter of fact, our pitcher
was just cut due to a season ending injury. Can you be here by Saturday mornin'
for practice?"
"Absolutely,
sir. Absolutely! Is there anything I need to do here before I come fill out my
paperwork there?"
"Just
fill out your decline forms for the scholarship there and you should be good to
go. We will see you Saturday mornin' Madison, eight AM."
"You
got it, Coach. See you then. Oh and thank you."
"Sure
thing."
I slipped my
phone into my back pocket and waited a few more seconds before I started
pounding on the glass. A few seconds after that, the short little girl came
hustlin' over to her desk.
"I said
I would be right back, no reason to bang around."
"I'm
sorry. I just need to fill out a decline form for my scholarship."
"Yes, I
know. I have it right here. Now just fill out the few lines explaining why and
then sign and date at the bottom and you are good to go. Make sure you turn in
your books and any keys you were given."
"Thanks."
I filled out
that form as if my hand were on fire. It was now Tuesday and I only had a few
days to get home, make up with my girl, and show up for practice. I threw the
form under the small glass window and ran out of that building as fast as I
could.
I headed
straight for mine and Glenn's dorm room. Shit! Glenn was gonna be pissed. I was
basically the reason that guy even came here, well Cami and I, apparently. I started stripping down to my boxer briefs the
minute I made it inside our room. I hadn't even noticed that the door was unlocked,
until I felt cold wet hands sliding down my stomach and closer to my waistband.
When I finished pulling my shirt off over my head, Korena's face came into full
view.
"What
the hell are you doin' in here?" I was beyond trying to be a gentleman
about it anymore. It hadn't seemed to clear up the confusion up until this
point, so why even bother.
"I
figured it would be okay."
"In
who's world did you think it would be okay? I'm pretty sure you live in a
fantasy world." I was pushin' her hands away just as I heard the door
creak open. When I turned I caught sight of the horrified look upon Cami's
face. Double shit!
"Cami,
wait! It's not what it looks like." I shouted after her, but it was too
late. She was gone. I quickly grabbed my pants and tugged them on as I ran
after her down the hall and eventually out into the lot. "Cami,
STOP!"
"WHAT?
There is
