Sloane scooped a little bit of this and that onto her plate as Cam talked about tryouts. Hopefully Alcyone would make it. She had the most experience and clearly the determination to work hard for the spot, so it would make the most sense. Hopefully Coach could see that. "Hey lots of good players make it in their first year, look at Calla and Maddy." Neither she nor Cam had, but that was beside the point.

She'd been about to stick a bite of toast into her mouth when he specifically mentioned Miss Bonaccord. She faltered slightly, but regained her composure, well most of it, chewing thoughtfully for a moment to give herself time to think. "I didn't realize you knew her that well. Fraternizing with the enemy, shame on you." Her tone was light, teasing, but not quite with the usual cadence. She felt that same little ping of jealousy flare up that had surfaced this summer when pretty Miss Bonaccord had come up then as well. At least this time her hair couldn't betray her. Ugh.
