How many days/hours do you need?

PuckMe_69

I don’t know. I’m failing. Can I start this week?

Heir_of_Slytherin

I’m booked on Wednesday. How about Friday at 4?

Friday is our game against Notre Dame, and I’m not allowed to dress for it. Fuck, this blows. Thinking about everything Trent and I gave up only makes me want to work harder and improve. If not for me, I have to get my shit together for Trent. He would do the same for me. I feel so damn guilty about roping him into my mess. My brother shouldn’t have to pay the price for my mistakes.

PuckMe_69

Friday works for me. What’s your name?

Heir_of_Slytherin

Sam. And yours?

PuckMe_69

Where do you want to meet?

PuckMe_69

My house?

Heir_of_Slytherin

No. Somewhere public.
