Ryan let us go for the night and some of the guys gathered in smaller groups. I turned tail and headed back for my room I shared with Noah. A part of me wanted to show these guys I was friendly and worthy, but the idea was nixed when I heard them talking about me. It was just too awkward.
Back in the room, Noah didn't come back until I was done with my shower and already getting in bed.
He looked surprised for a second, but then laughed. "Let me guess, you came back to the room instead of hanging with your teammates?"
I have a weak shrug. "I didn't know them."
"That's okay. It's just casual conversation anyways." Noah threw his bag down. "Where's the snacks?"
I pointed where I had set it after taking it out of my bag.
Noah grabbed a bag of pretzels and sat down on the bed to eat. "You'll have to try to be more outgoing when the final roster is settled though."
I sighed and pulled my blanket up higher.
