Chris was pretty sure there were only a couple guys on the team, maybe three or four tops, who would actually give him any trouble for it. Coach on the other hand probably would, and the news of who he was hanging out with would definitely get back to his mother, though it would at least be a day or two delayed, but even that would be too much.
He nodded at the answer, "I've usually got at least an hour while Jeremy's in the library, on the days he hasn't arranged to walk home with somebody else, I mean." A small smile emerged, "And snacks I can do." It would probably be chips, but if he made sure to clean up after himself and practiced his excuse that they were for an after-school get-together, he could probably wing a batch of cookies while he was at it. But he wasn't going to say as much since he wasn't sure he'd actually be able to manage.
