“Thanks.” I sigh and set my phone down. “Is there anything else I should know?”
Dylan leans forward, meeting my gaze. “He hates social media, and if you haven’t already, you’re going to get a spiel about how awful it is and how it ruins everyone’s lives.”
“Ah, yes.” Blaze chuckles. “Let’s not forget just how bad technology is.”
Great. So, he’s the kind of guy who probably thinks my job is useless.
“But don’t let all that scare you.” Addy swats Blaze, shooting him a warning look that makes me smile. “Cam is a good guy and he’s loyal to a fault. I think you’ll have a lot to work with once he gets used to you.”
I nod, trying to mentally prepare myself for this endeavor.
I can already tell it’s going to be a wild ride.

Ding!
Ding!

“I swear I’m going to throw this thing! It’s been exploding with Instagram notifications.” I scoop my phone up from the locker room bench and immediately silence it. I’ve never been more annoyed in my life with a stupid phone.
This is why I don’t have social media.
“Dude, people are eating up the stuff that Nila posted.” Kade slings his bag over his shoulder. “I think you should just go with it. I don’t see what’s so wrong with having an online presence. It gives you a handle on any narrative they try to spin.”
“Yeah, and it’s just playing the game right along with them. It’s a waste of my time.”
“You’re not wasting any time,” Dylan snickers, wiping the sweat from his forehead. “Nila is doing everything for you.”
“That’s not the point,” I grumble, gathering up the rest of my stuff. Practice has left my shoulder sore today, and I don’t even know why.
But I want to blame the redhead sitting up in the stands.
It’s been three days since she became my shadow, and she takes this job very seriously. She’s barely left my side, snapping pictures or taking videos of everything from the TV shows I’m watching to the food I’m eating. I live for the evenings when she leaves to go back to her hotel room.
“I don’t know why you’re giving her such a hard time,” Kade continues on his rampage to annoy me. “She’s nice … and pretty funny. I like her.”
“Then date her,” I shoot back at him, sounding like a child.
“Why would I date her? I see the way you look at her. Might as well walk around with a towel to catch that drool running down your chin.” He bursts into a fit of laughter, Dylan and Blaze joining him.
“I don’t like her at all,” I argue, shaking my head. I mean, yeah, she’s freaking gorgeous, but seriously? She’s obsessed with social media.
No freaking thanks.
“Is she going with you to dinner tonight?” Blaze’s voice is more serious, which I’m thankful for. “Your dad would get a kick out of it.”
“Yeah, all the more reason not to take her.”
“Oh, you’re taking her,” Coach Wilson’s voice booms from behind me.
Ugh.
I spin around to see him, his arms folded across his chest as he enters the locker room. “Pfft. It’ll be past her bedtime.”
