Cole's mind was boggled as the scene played out in front of him. Chelsea and her group of friends had been hanging around their practices all week, a few of them were dating guys on the team, so it was understandable. They caught him completely off-guard yesterday when Tyler and John had held him back after practice and introduced him to Chelsea. They talked for a minute, she had gave him her number and asked to hang out. He just kind of went along with it since his brain was otherwise occupied worrying about Alex. She texted him all night, even after he was supposed to be sleeping. She was hot sure, and the attention was nice, but he didn't really feel anything for her. No chemistry. No attraction. Nothing.

She told him that she'd be finding him after the game, and clearly from her recounting of events, she'd barely watched any of it. All of these thinly-veiled comments towards Alex and the aggressive nature she had taken towards him, as if they had agreed to date when no such conversation had occurred. It all happened so fast and Alex stormed off so quickly that he didn't even have time to interject or question anything. What was going on?

"Forget her" Chelsea said "C'mon, I'll buy you lunch."

Later that night, once he had finally gotten Chelsea to let him go back to his room and sleep (though not before inviting herself to Alex's tournament tomorrow) he finally texted her.

[i]Hey, sorry about today. I don't know what happened back there, but I could tell something was bugging you. And we didn't get a chance to talk either. You're probably asleep right now, but I'll see you at the tournament tomorrow, for sure..... Chelsea might be there, but I keep telling her not to come, I'm sorry if that's a problem for you, talk later.[/i]
