me.”
    “Really?” Katherine asked.
    “Really. I’ve never felt anything like what you described. Besides, he could still be real you know?”
    A smile spread across Katherine’s face, “You make me want to believe in that.”
    “Well you never know! Who am I to say what is or isn’t real?”
    “So what about you? And Danny?” Katherine inquired.
    Taylor’s face instantly turned rosy. “Oh yeah, he’s right up my alley. He’s adorable, funny and a total wiseass. I love that he can dish it out and take it. Most guys can only do the dishing, you know?”
    “Totally. So you like him?”
    “I’ll probably give him a shot.”
    “Jeez, Taylor, trying to date you is like trying to win the lottery.”
    “You have to understand the way most guys are out here. They are raised to hide their true selves under a ridiculously manly ego and crazy confidence. It is super annoying. They put on tough guy shows twenty-four hours a day. A girl gets tired of dealing with that all the time.”
    “That would get annoying. I’d be like, be real already!”
    “Exactly! But I can see right through Danny. He’s a big softy and he’s not very good at hiding it.”
    Katherine raised her eyebrows, “Poor guy has no idea what he’s in for.”
    “I know. Isn’t it great?” Taylor beamed.
    “You crack me up. I’m starving.”
    “Let’s go eat our weight in frozen yogurt.”
    “That sounds so good. And totally normal.”
    “Well we already know you’re not normal, so why not?” Taylor teased.

Chapter Three
    Days turned into weeks and Katherine’s dream guy still hadn’t reappeared. The details of the dream may have gotten fuzzy with time but her feelings were something she could never erase. Not that she wanted to. But she found herself slowly letting go of dream guy and that allowed Cooper in.
    “I love that you get dolled up for the class we have with Cooper,” Taylor remarked.
    Katherine stopped curling her long brown hair and asked innocently, “What are you talking about?”
    “Don’t play coy with me, missy. You’re totally into him. Admit it! You only make yourself this cute when we’re seeing him.”
    Katherine blushed.
    “I knew it. You don’t even have to admit it.”
    “I hate you,” Katherine joked and turned back to the mirror.
    “No you don’t. But seriously, how great would it be if we dated teammates? We could go to all the games together. And double date all the time. Please just love him already,” Taylor whined.
    “You’re insane.”
    “Tell me that wouldn’t be perfect?” Taylor insisted.
    “It wouldn’t be perfect,” Katherine remarked.
    “Liar.”
    Katherine smiled.
    “And you were right before you know?” Taylor suggestively mentioned.
    Katherine raised her eyebrows, “About???”
    “About Cooper being a great guy. I’m over there all the time and he really is everything you thought he was.”
    Katherine felt her pulse elevate, “Well that’s good to know.”
    “Any appearances from dream guy?”
    Katherine’s face paled at the mention of him, “Nope. He’s just gone. I was probably stupid to think he was real in the first place.”
    Taylor grabbed Katherine’s shoulders, “You were not stupid. I’m the one who insisted he was real. I’m sorry.”
    “Don’t be. It’s okay,” Katherine fought against the mist that formed in her eyes.
    “So hey, Danny and I are going to grab some dinner after practice tonight. Do you think you want to come with?”
    Katherine knew what Taylor was up to, “That would be nice. Do you think Coop will be there?”
    “I can guarantee that if you’re going, Cooper’s going.”
    “Really?” the thought seemed so absurd to her.
    “Are you crazy, Kat, or just dumb? Cooper has been trying to get you to go out with him since the moment he laid his stupid speckled eye on you.”
    “I know. I just don’t get why,” she blurted out. “Sorry, I don’t mean that as bad as it sounds. I just don’t get it. Is he like this with
