“mm, maybe you’d know him. tall, dark, and handsome type. beautiful brown eyes, a chocolatey voice…” when he stuck his tongue out at her she grinned, feet shuffling on the tile of the locker room. “i don’t know about that. i think he’s pretty good.” spencer was more than good; he literally had people scouting him out before he graduated. while she didn’t know that much about soccer, she knew talent when she saw it and spencer had a whole truckload of potential. “if my buns aren’t tight my hair falls out all the time, so. it’s either temporary face lift and pain or stopping every five minutes to redo my hair.” sometimes in modern class she’d just wear her hair completely down, but that’s not where she had been at. she watched him as he finished getting dressed, leaning back on her hands and kicking her legs precariously. sometimes she wished she weren’t so tall so that she could swing her legs, or just generally be disconnected from the floor when sitting. “okay. sounds good to me.” she wasn’t sure if a shower would make her feel raring to go or if it would make her comfortable enough to sleep, but the only way to find out was to go and test it out. she wasn’t opposed to the idea of just playing video games with spencer or something, or even just talking until they fell asleep. when he wrapped an arm around her shoulder she buried herself into his side, arms wrapping around his waist. unlike him she lingered, clinging on for another moment. “joyriding? wow, thanks for the invite.” she joked, finally releasing him to wander out of the locker room. she pushed her way out of the building, holding the door open for spencer on the way out and making their way towards the parking lot. “i haven’t really been home all week except to change clothes and sleep, so. it’s kind of a mess…” she forewarned, remembering the various clothes that were scattered all over her room as a result of her busy week. after being in his practically-immaculate apartment she felt like she was going to look like a slob in comparison. when they got to his car - it was muddy, her dad would kill her if she treated her jeep like that - she pretended to zip her lips and lock them with a key, tossing the key onto the asphalt of the parking lot.
he wanted so badly to hold her hand as she walked beside him, but he didn’t want to come on too strong. even though they had talked on the phone and they both had talked about liking one another, they still hadn’t gotten the opportunity to talk about it in person yet. “hmmm? chocolatey voice? that sounds like my good friend spencer tate, you got the hots for him? let me find out.” he snorted as he walked swiftly to his car in order to open up the door for her. “oh yeah?? well tell him to meet me on the field, he’s gonna have to go neck and neck with me” he smiled at her as he watched her hop in. he made his way around the front of the car and hopped into the drivers seat. “the things you do for what you love.” he looked over at her once last time before starting the car. immediately his bluetooth kicked in and the car was filled with the sound of freaky by tory lanez, “fun fact: i only listen to tory lanez on game days, he gets me crazy hype before stepping on to the field.” he made his way out of the arena parking lot, luckily the student dorms were only about 10 minutes from where they were now. “if you’re into that we can definitely make it happen. i really like off roading. back home i used to do it on the beach a lot, so mud is new and fun. there’s also a lake real close to where i was at, it looked fun.” he said suggestively as he made a mental note to bring it up maybe later in the week. lil had dorm roommates and all of that stuff and he was extremely grateful that hyland paid for his own little private apartment so that he could come and go as he pleased and he didn’t have to worry about other people being in his stuff. he pulled up slowly in front of the dorms and parked up. “don’t worry about it, you should’ve seen our house when all six of us whizzed through it” he hopped out and made his way around to open the door for her.
