Me: I’ll grab some.
Hattie
Oh, no you don’t have to do that, we don’t need jerseys.
Trigg
Yes you do.
Calvin
Yes you do! You’re part of the team now.
Zoey
I hope they get me a new jersey before tomorrow.
Calvin
You don’t need a new jersey, Zo. Just keep wearing the one with my name on it.
Zoey
Yes, I do, Calvin. I need to rep my brother now that he’s on the team.
Hattie
I actually have the day off tomorrow, so we should be able to come. Are you sure? I can pay you for the tickets.
Me: Nope. We’ve got it covered. It will probably be easier if you carpool with the girls though, so you guys can get that arranged.
Grace
This is so exciting!
Me: Oh, Hattie, what are you guys doing tonight? We are all going out to dinner to celebrate.
Hattie
Well Dylan is working tonight, but I can join! I get off at five.
Trigg
Perfect!
Me
See everyone soon! Black Rooster at six-thirty.
