We were quiet for a while as we continued to watch the game and it ended a lot faster compared to Luis’s match. Elliot’s varsity team won the game and Luis had to leave to regroup with his teams to help clean the court. I watched him leave as I sat there quietly wondering if I should go outside to wait for him or just stand near the front door of the gym until they tell me I can’t be here anymore. I was about to get up when I saw Elliot’s brother walking over towards me and I slowly moved to sit down feeling shy if he was coming to introduce himself. He wouldn’t come towards me without Elliot, right?
“Hi,” I heard from beside me and I glanced overseeing Jason.
“Oh, Jason, right? Elliot’s brother?” I said as I stood up quickly reaching a hand out to shake.
He smiled softly, shaking hands, “Yes, and I’m assuming your Michael?” he asks me.
“Yeah…” I said, awkwardly. “Um, Elliot said you’re visiting from college?”
