1164 v4 ch12 Regional Tryout Rd2 (1)

I slept better than I thought I would. Waking up wasn't any more difficult than a school day. Noah and I took our bags down to breakfast, knowing that we would stay overnight for this tryout. Dave, Mom, and Dad were already eating at a table when we joined them.

Mom immediately showed us her phone; a picture of Kyle and Marie dressed up was on it. "Isn't this adorable? I think I should have made you boys go to more school dances." She glanced at Dave. "I definitely should have made you go last night. You could have watched Zeke's game today instead."

Dave rolled his eyes and pointed at the phone. "Mom, I would look just like him. Without the girl. I'm fine with missing out on stuff like that."

"I saw a lot of the seniors and juniors post pics last night." Noah commented. "I'd probably go once just to say I've done it. It's like a supervised party."
