After e fro druh I won’t play it again till spring concert band I —it’s ht practice sometime when the dickface is out of the house I’onna be short—only an hour I’ll have to wait another twenty for him Football practice doesn’t end until 4:30

As we do sprints, I'm overly aware of the football practice field behind ours Once, I hear Coach Nix shout "Masters" I try not to listen, though, or look We have a quick but pretty aggressive scriood job" from Coach McGee

Since football practice is still going strong, I head into the locker room to shower I used to hate to shower in here, but last year they renovated, and now they've got stalls I takenot to think of Ezra's hand as I soap my dick

"They're out of town tonight On business," he says His voice cracks on the word "business," but his eyes on ht,” he says

I frown That's not true He shields his eyes with his palm, and I look at Coach Nix "What happened?"

"Nothing happened," Ezra says, getting to his feet Coach Nix reaches out to steady him, but Ezra steps away
