Which is code for I’ll find out if the football team is attending, then make my decision.
“I’ll take it.”
Noah smiles before pulling into my dorm’s parking. He glances around quickly, then leans over and kisses me. He tastes like peanut butter and bananas, and I want to climb over the console to get closer to him, but I have to meet a TA in less than an hour, and I need to shower and finish the assignment I bailed on last night.
“See you Friday,” Noah says when I leave, waiting until I’m inside the building before driving away.

Friends are the Best
Noah texts me before each of his practices this week, reminding me I should be studying so I can go to the hockey party on Friday. On Thursday, I get more of the same.
Noah
I would rescue you from Anna tonight, but the library is the perfect place to study, so I’ll leave you to it.
I get the message and text Parker.
Me
Are you going to the hockey party tomorrow?
Parker
Seems like a bad idea to leave a bunch of hooligans at my house so I can go to a different, lesser party somewhere else.
Me
You could’ve just said no. The rest of the team will be there too?
Parker
We travel in packs. Wolves for the Wyn!
We’ve also been warned to pretend we don’t know you in public, so theoretically you’d be fine, even if we showed up.
Me
You’ve never done that.
Parker
I never said I agreed. I’m just good at assessing the situation.
Me
Debatable.
Parker
I saw Noah Callahan follow you out on my bday. That’s the only reason I didn’t walk you myself.
Me
I knew it was too easy.
