Aya scowled. "I really didn't mean it that way!" She rolled her eyes at his reasoning but seriously thought of someone to set him up with and she laughed a bit. "Well I can't think of anyone from the top of my head who you'd be interested in and unfortunately I do not have a twin to give you but just you wait. I will find someone and then you'll have to admit my matchmaking skills are unparalleled!"

"Uh, huh, sure." He mocked her by rolling his own eyes. "So was Monte and Dan and Serena the only thing you wanted to talk to me about? Because I'd love to continue to listen to you talk about something else, maybe something positive. Anything positive happening in your life right now?" He didn't necessarily want to hear about Dan or anything positive about Monte, but he would if that's what she wanted to talk about.

Aya took another cookie and shoved it in his mouth. "Well that and the fact that I wanted to apologize. But for some reason I'm not really good at that when it's you." She said with a laugh. Aya briefly thought about her day on the roof with Monte and she turned to look at Garret. "Did Monte talk to you about your game? I kinda asked him to bully you for me because you lack so much focus, not that he's any better, the hypocrite." She couldn't really think about anything great that had happened to her in the past week that was worth talking about. "What about you? I've been doing all the talking, how's your week been?"

Garret laughed and pulled the entire cookie out of his mouth. "You got my lip with that one, it'll be purple later you watch." He put the cookie back in the box and snapped the lid closed on it, tucking it under his arm so she couldn't shove anymore cookies at him. "No, he didn't talk to me, Avery had a word with me, he's going to let me keep the pitching position..." He stopped. "You know my week hasn't been that great." He looked at her, wondering if he was at liberty to unload his awful week on her like she'd been doing to him.

Aya grinned, no guilt could be seen on her face. "You deserved it and you know it." She put her arm around his waist; she didn't expect Avery to have done it but he had and she was glad for it for some reason. "Yeah then you'll just have to wait for that lovely little surprise now don't you?" She looked at him, concern clear in her eyes. "You can tell me about it you know; I'm not sure how great I am at giving advice but I'll listen."

"Nah, I don't think I will, you've got enough on your shoulders and half of it you already know about so, there really isn't a need to bore you." He pointed at his eye, his lip, and then finally at his heart. Signifying all the damage she'd done to him personally, but he was mostly joking. Aside from the railing his dad had given him about stepping up his game so he didn't have to put Avery in as pitcher and make him look bad and Avery's talking to him about picking up his game, his week hadn't been too awful. He'd managed to stay out of trouble enough to keep from getting another weeks detention added to his already long sentence and that was basically it, nothing big to report. "You know, Monte might have asked Avery to do it."

Aya laughed at the way he tried to show her just how much damage she had done to him. "Alright alright, I owe you my weight in apology cookies, I get it Walker!" She put her hand on his heart though and smiled. "I really am sorry that I see you as a creepy best friend rather than anything else. I must be masochistic to want to hang around a jerk all the time though, huh?" She thought about what he said. "Well you have a point there; Avery is the more peaceful twin... But I think Monte would enjoy busting your ass just because I told him we were good friends."

Garret nodded in agreement. "Yup, I expect all seventy pounds too." He shrugged a shoulder. "You don't have to feel sorry, I'm good." He laced his own fingers with the ones on his chest and lowered their hands to a more comfortable level. "Monte could very well turn around and bust me if I don't pick it up at the next practice. Maybe he's just saving it up." He started to swing their hands between them.

Aya laughed. "Then you'll have to make do with it coming in installments. I don't think even Georgie is capable of baking 70 pounds worth of cookies in one go." She grinned and crossed the fingers of her free hand. "Here's to hoping then." She shook her head in amusement as they started walking again. "I swear you're one of the few people who don't mind listening to my word vomit."

Garret laughed. "Installments are fine." He shook his head. "You hope I get brutalized by Monte or you hope I actually put some effort into my game." He leaned his head over and put his temple on hers. "I just don't see the point unless I'm performing for a scout." He swung their hands again. "There will be a scout at the next game...So you want to see me perform?"

She grinned at him. "Both actually; see I don't understand why you don't get it. Scouts come because they hear that you play well. They aren't going to be encouraged to go see a game that isn't even winning you know what I mean? Always try hard for it Garret because they aren't going to be inspired to visit you play if you don't give a shit." Aya rolled her eyes. "Yeah I'll be there don't worry; I kind of promised my mom I'd do the photography exercises she assigned me so I need to cover the game."

"Are you going to publish your pictures somewhere?" He asked. "You could get a sequence shot of me throwing a fast ball and the last picture can be the ball in the catcher's glove." He laughed. "Alright, I'll play to the best of my ability this next game and from there on out, alright. Just don't sick your lover on me." He nudged her. "So photography huh? You going to do that professionally?"

Aya shrugged; she hadn't really thought of it. "I dunno about publishing but those were one of the things my mom told me to do; sequence and action shots." She glared at him, her eyebrows flew up as if she didn't believe him. "One: he isn't my lover. Two: Don't worry about Monte because I'll be the one chasing you around with a baseball bat if you don't play to the best of your ability." Aya giggled as he playfully nudged her and she nodded. "Yeah it has always been kind of my thing; I guess I got it from my mom. She's a professional photographer."

"One, he loves you, so two that means he is your lover." He rolled his eyes as if that were obvious. "Besides I'm sure if he could get you in bed he would." He waggled an eyebrow at her and nudged her again. "I know I would." He laughed and braced himself for the abuse he was surely going to receive for that line. "I think it's cool that she's a photographer and you're following in her footsteps, you think you could publish the action shots and draw in some more scouts?"

Aya gaped at Garret like a fish, surprised that he had the balls to say those things. She pulled away from him and stepped on one foot hard and kicked the shin of the other leg. "You really are a jerk! And thank you for that compliment; I always did like seeing things better through the lens of my camera." She thought about it, knowing that if she did post them it would draw the attention of the scouts. "Fine; if you play well that is."
