Blake asked, trying to make me feel guilty. “Honey, it’s not like I don’t want to see you. Of course I’m going to give you a ride in the car, but I got to get to practice early. You’ve been captain for a while. Your dad gives you all the extras you need to make sure your team is on and popping, but me, I’m new at this. I want to get with Coach Woods, get her expectations, and be an example for my squad. Leadership starts at the top. So I can’t pick you up today.” “Dang, give a girl some power and she loses her mind,” Blake uttered. “I needed to talk to you.” As I sat on my bed putting on some lotion, I put the phone down and hit the speaker button. “See, you’re tripping. Nothing about me has changed. Just because I’m taking my job seriously, you’ve got an issue with that. I didn’t say anything when you had to go to the gym in the morning, watch film after that, lift weights in the afternoon, run around the track in the evening, and eat your food and mine because you’re trying to gain all this weight so you can pass some eyeball test for scouts.
