Number ten, the one and only lotus flower, gets stifling attention from the other team’s defenders, who try to block him with every move. One of them pushes him and he falls as the referee announces a foul. I jump to my feet. “Fuck that guy! Suck my dick.” “Niko!” Jeremy clutches my arm and tries to shove me down. That’s when I realize most of the people surrounding us are watching me as if I’m the personification of Lucifer himself. A lot of pearl-clutching happens, too. I roll my eyes and sit down.
