Tenacious Sky novel Chapter 7

I sat in the laundry room playing with my phone. I didn't want to risk going back to the room to get yelled at by Leo again.

"Why are you hanging out in here?" I heard Easton's voice as he sat next to me and draped an arm over my shoulder.

"I don't really want to talk about it," I sighed.

"I heard you ended up being roommates with Leo," he said. I only sighed again.

"It ended up that way," I confirmed.

"Tough break. I hear he's even harder to get along with outside of practice," he retorted.

"We're also desk mates," I muttered. He sighed and stood me up.

"Let's go to the lounge. I'll introduce you to some more people," he offered. We went to the lounge where I was introduced to more people. There were two swim team members, three fencing members, and five track and field members.

"I don't mean any offense by this, Sky, but has anyone ever told you that you look kind of like a girl?" One of the track members, Nathan said to me. I chuckled uncomfortably.

"I get told I have androgynous looks all the time," I tried to brush it off. I talked with them for a while but I couldn't help being worried about Leo. He acted tough but I could tell that he was broken on the inside. I changed my laundry over to the dryer before grabbing a few snacks from the snack hall. I grabbed a few bananas for Leo as well. When my laundry finally finished drying, I put the clothes back in the basket and took them up to the room with my snacks. When I entered the room, Leo was sitting on the couch reading a book. I sat next to him and set my basket down before holding out the bananas to him.
