Pretending she wasn't still into Lilah was a joke. She knew she'd screwed up, but she didn't know how to fix it. Her last attempt at that had just gotten her in deeper trouble so she wasn't exactly eager to repeat the process. It was because of her that Lilah was here and now she was sitting her like she had a stick up her ass all because she didn't know what to say to the woman. This was not like Izzy at all. She and Lilah should have been laughing and joking and goading the team into joining in with silly cheers and all that fun stuff but instead, Izzy was stuck sitting next to her while feeling like they were a million miles apart.<br/><br/>Jaw flexing, she tried to put her issues out of her mind. She had to get past this. Apparently Lilah already had, if her mood was any indication, and there was no reason she needed to keep ripping herself apart with guilt if the other woman was doing fine. Right?<br/><br/>Deliberately taking a deep breath she focused in on the coach as he attempted to prod the other girls into just signing and getting it over with. This wasn't some grand deal. It was just a chance, a stepping stone on the way to something else. There wasn't enough to be offered of withheld that anyone should have some big issue with things. Of course, that was just her take on it. <br/><br/>After he seemed satisfied with the returned contracts, the coach announced practice for tomorrow and Izzy felt a flutter of excitement. She was used to working hard. It would feel good to get back to that. Coach also suggested the girls either rest up or go out to celebrate and it seemed that others were up for some fun later on. She knew she hadn't been the friendliest person today so she should probably try and  start over with the others. <br/><br/><strong>“Alright. I could use a little fun, count me in.”</strong> She stood and couldn't help but glance at Lilah. <strong>“See y'all tonight.”</strong> She said to no one in particular and shoved her hands in her pockets. Leaving quickly she let out a relieved sigh, feeling her nerves drain away as she moved down the hall. Tonight had to be better.</span></span>
