Greenelan~The Journey

~Alyssa~

A/N: Btw the italics mean they are thinking...like in the back of their head...enjoy:)

The last bell of the day rings and I exit my AP English class. I head to my locker and and put away the books I don't need to bring home for homework. My "favorite"part of the day. Cheerleading practice. I had cheer practice Monday and Wednesday, student council meetings every Tuesday, and debate club on Thursdays. Sometimes my Fridays are free, if I don't have to cheer at the home football games. I head to the locker room and sit my backpack down. I open my locker and take out my practice uniform. A blue and white tank top with yellow stripes going down the sides and a pair of matching shorts. Although I don't like cheer, I do like the uniform colors. I like how it looks against my brown skin.

I tie my hair into a ponytail as I hear people enter the locker room. "Hey Alyssa." says Shelby. Kaylee waves at me. "Hey guys." I respond with a smile. "Do you think we'll have to cheer at Friday's game?" I ask them. Shelby and Kaylee look at me with confusion. "We all know our team is going to lose. Our football team sucks." Shelby and Kaylee look offended. I suddenly remember that their boyfriends are on the football team. "Oh, sorry I forgot Nick and Kevin are on the team." I quickly spit out. They start laughing. "We were just kidding silly goose." says Kaylee. The coach calls us outside and we start practice.

Practice is over so that finally means I can go home. I go into the locker room and change out of my practice uniform and put on a pair of leggings and a hoodie. I make my way to the parking lot and get into my car. I check my phone.

Mom: I'm working late tonight. Will you be okay by yourself?

Me: Yeah. Love you be safe

Mom: Love you too

I pull out of the parking space and drive home. I pull into the driveway of my house and make my way inside. I decide to knock out my homework instead of procrastinating. 30 minutes later and I was done with my trigonometry homework and my english homework. I go to my room and I pull out my phone to text Kaylee.

Me: I don't want to cheer at the game on Friday!!!

Kaylee: OMG Alyssa are you still complaining about how bad the football team is?

Me: Yes.

Kaylee: Look, as bad as they are we have to do our job and cheer them on. Plus, I have to support my Nicky Bear.

Me: You did NOT just call him Nicky Bear-

Kaylee: I did and what about it?

Me: I think I'm going to be sick-

Kaylee: Lol sorry. I gotta go but I'll see you tomorrow.

I've always wondered what it would be like to be in a relationship. But, not with someone like Nick. Not with any boy for that matter. I check the time and my lock screen reads 4:30. Well Mom usually gets off at 5:00, but since she's working late she won't be off until 7:00. Which means she won't be home until 7:30. Hmm. I wonder what Emma is doing.

Me: Hey Emma

Emma: hey allistar :)

Me: Oh no-

Emma: i like that name...allistar greene

Me: No ma'am we are not doing that

Emma: too late it's engraved in my mind

Me: Darn. Hey Emma where's your locker? We don't have any classes together so the least I could do is walk with you to your next class whenever we're going the same way.
