“I don’t think I’m going to be made captain.” 

The words ringed through Robbie’s mind as he drove out of the parking lot. The walk from the locker rooms to his car had been quiet. Robbie knew something happened when he stormed off after the whatever with Maggie, but he hadn’t been quite sure where he’d end up going. It was easy to figure everything out now. 

Robbie tried not letting the disappointment be evident in his face. He knew how much it had meant for Tony. All those countless hours on the phone talking about different tactics that could be used to get them to finals. Being made captain had been worth a lot, especially with all that was at stake. 

So Robbie busied himself with getting the car running and out of the parking lot. Anything to avoid speaking to Tony just yet. He needed to know exactly what to say to make his best friend feel better. 

Maybe he should talk to Coach Mac? 

“They said it was going to be mine.” Tony spoke up again, but it was hardly above a mumble. A red light brought them to a halt. Robbie looked over at Tony, but he wasn’t looking at him. He never was. At least not in the way Robbie wanted to be, but that was neither here nor there. Tony had his face in his hands, blocking himself from the world. 

Robbie reached over to stroke Tony’s hair, but found his hand hovering. With a small frown and quick shake of his head, Robbie brought it back down. Busying himself with sending a quick text to his mom.
