She turned, and when her gaze landed on me, her eyes widened with horror.

“Parker, what the hell?” she gasped, approaching me warily. “Are you naked? Oh. My. God. Are you trying to embarrass me?”

I rolled my eyes. “Yep. You got me. I decided to walk around the arena nakedjustto embarrass you.”

She folded her arms. “I wouldn’t put it past you.”

“Funnily enough, Cam, my nakedness is not about you.”

“Well, what is it about?” she demanded. “Wait, are you doing some kind of post-game punishment? Like how Reed used to run home after a loss? I know I’m superstitious, but I think walking home naked might be taking it too far. Even though you guys were terrible today.”

“My clothes were stolen!”

“Really?”

“Yes, really.”

She tilted her head. “Why would someone steal your clothes?”

“Because I pissed them off.”

Her expression cracked and she let out a laugh. “Brilliant.”

It was probably a good thing Cammie and Mackenzie didn’t know each other. I could only imagine the kind of torture those two would inflict on me if they ever teamed up.

“Do you have something I can wear?” I asked.

“No,” she replied, still laughing. “Oh, wait, actually…” I felt a wave of relief as Cammie opened her bag, but it quickly disappeared when she pulled out a bright pink scarf. I didn’t even know my sister owned anything pink. Her entire wardrobe was black, grey, and more black.

“Gabby left it at our house,” she said. “She’s always telling mehow hot you are, so I’m sure she won’t mind if you borrow it.”

“What the hell am I supposed to do with that?”

“I mean, if I were you, I’d tie it around my waist as soon as possible.”

“I thought you had some actual clothes for me.”

“Sorry.” She shrugged. “This is the best I can do.”

I cursed under my breath but gestured for the scarf. “Okay, fine, just give it here.”

She passed it to me, and I retreated behind the plant. The scarf was just wide enough to reach around my waist like a flimsy miniskirt.

“I think I preferred my glove,” I grumbled. “At least Reed and Grayson aren’t here to see this.”

“Hmm, lucky,” she agreed with a smirk.

“I can’t get to the car looking like this. There are too many people around.”

“I already said that’s all I’ve got.”

“What about in the locker room?”

“There’re still girls in there.”

“Well, maybe they have something?”

Cammie huffed as if me being stranded naked in public was more of an inconvenience to her than me. “I have a meeting with my coach now.”
