Until she’d walked into the gym, Naomi had been a strong 90% sure the game was going to be a waste of time. Her shift had ended at the diner just before the game began, and she’d even considered not showing up, but the potential for shouting obscenities drunkenly at Horton students had been too much. It was just her luck that when she arrived, still in her work uniform, a brawl had taken over the gym she’d expected to see neatly divided over a basketball game. She even had to dodge a punch thrown in her general direction, shouting above the crowd, “I swear I’m on your side! Fuck. What’s happening?” @radopens
