After school Matthew rushed to the boys locker room to change. Kiku was already changed and talking to Joel. Matthew wanted to go over and talk to him but he didn't want to be around Joel. So Matthew just headed to the gym. Some of the other boys were so much taller then him but Matthew relaxed a bit. After several minutes of warm ups later they started drills. Tryouts flew by and Matthew was in the locker room tying his shoes went Kiku came over. "Are you okay? You haven't talked to me since lunch."Kiku sat next to Matthew on the bench. He took Matthew's hand and interlocked their fingers. "I'm fine." Matthew leaned in and kissed Kiku's cheek. The two walked out of the school holding hands. "Tomorrow before lunch we'll go see if we made the team." Matthew smiled at Kiku. Who nodded in agreement. "Kiku!" Joel ran up to the two. "I need to go." Matthew let go of Kiku's hand. "Matthew please don't ." Kiku looked at Matthew with sad eyes. "No really my papa just got here and it's almost time for me to check my blood sugar." Matthew hugged Kiku. "Oh... see you tomorrow." Kiku waved as Matthew left. "How was your day mon petite Matthew?" Francis started to pull off. "It was a bit rough and Alfred was supposed to go and watch my tryout but he bailed on me.
