So what? Quit the team.

You shrug. "If you hate the team, quit."

She laughs. "Quit? I would but my parents would kill me. They've been pushing me to get a reduction for years. But I keep telling them no."

"Do you like being on the team?" You ask.

"Not really. But I'm good at what I do. I'll probably just stick with it until my scholarship dries up. At that point, my parents won't have any say in the matter."

"Good on you."

"Anyway, it's nice to know you're with me on this."

"Hey, it's not all bad. I'd love to see you practice without being taped down. That might... be pretty amusing."

She chuckles. "You mispronounced painful. Besides, there's plenty of fun practice that has nothing to do with Track."

Ain't that the truth.
