Tobio wasn’t one to swallow his pride. That’s why he hated that he couldn’t stop thinking about the blowup argument you two had last December. What was he supposed to do? Apologize? It wasn’t like he could go back and fix it, even though he wished he could.

It was summer now, which made things worse. Last summer, you two were close. It felt weird now that you weren’t. Especially since you were the team manager. He had to see you. You were at every pre-season practice.
