To save his best friend from the dumb rumors, Brett slapped his shoulder lightly and said. “How about you tell me what’s wrong on the field? Too many eyes and ears here.” He said the last part lowly.

Tyler looked lost but nodded and the two find themselves on the bleachers within the span of five minutes.

Brett sighed when he sat beside Tyler and kicked up his feet on the bleachers while looking down at the field.

They had practice after school today and the man who took care of the grass had yet to trim them so they could easily run. Hopefully, he’d get it done before the bell rang by the end of school.

“So talk. What did you fuck up?” Brett asked and looked over at Tyler who looked so out of it and stuck in his head.

 

Tyler turned his head to face Brett, let out a loud sigh, and then answered. “I screwed up with Layla.” He admitted, squeezing his eyes shut as he lifted them to the sky to let the sun beat down on his face harshly.

Fuck he really did screw up.

Brett who had already had an inkling sighed heavily and rubbed his forehead. “What did you do this time man? | thought you were going to make it right with her after that stupid photo Karen posted online?”

Tyler pinched his brows and then straightened his head and looked forward at the field. “I was. I tried to but then she said some things that upset me and I did something stupid as retaliation.”

Brett winced, afraid to hear what his friend had done as retaliation. Sometimes Tyler didn’t think properly before do ing things that got him in trouble.

Now this time was clearly no different.

“Don’t tell me you called her a slut.” Brett groaned already feeling a migraine lurking behind his eyes.

How would he make his friend fix this? Tyler was clearly in love with Layla.

Want to know how he knew?

 

Brett spend so much time with Tyler that they were now considered brothers. He recognize that fond look that passes through Tyler’s eyes whenever they fell on Layla because that was the same look that passes between his parents that had been high school lovers themselves.

And of course, being that this was his best friend’s first time falling in love, he was sure Tyler screwed up because he couldn’t handle these crazy unfamiliar feelings.

Not that Brett knew what falling in love felt like, but he had seen it with his parents so he thought he was a little qualified to know how his friend was handling these new feelings that wrecked his once player ways.

Tyler shook his head. “God no! I’d never ever call her that nasty name. I rather cut my own tongue than ever say something like that to her.”
