School wasn't so bad if i think it i sat beside Larson in homeroom he is a hawk but we seemed to get along fine ignoring the shop incident in English i sit beside Jesse he flirted a bit it was kinda funny, then then science i sit beside Adam Banks we don't talk at all he seems really awkward, maths is Connie we seemed to have just clicked really well i'd say shes my best friend here, i sit in the middle of Charlie and Peter for history that's really all.school wasn't as crazy like Ireland and i found the work pretty easy my teachers noticed at least one did History she said the uk and America education were different the Uks and Ireland is more complex then America i wanted to laugh but held it in,God i think i might like it here.
Schools out thank god, me and Connie put our skates on heading to the rink although she puts a ton of gear while i'm just in skates i find that stuff tacky i'm mean where at school going to the ice rink you dont really need all that gear but the team wear the whole thing for short distances maybe i should get some to not stick out but then we already do stick out, the hockey team are a laughing stock i feel bad but like really what can i do i'm the new girl.
when we get to the rink we start a mini match then a limo pulled up on the ice Connie skated over "that your ride Cadhla?" she spoke i shook my head "nope not mine although i think ino who it is" then the door pulled open and dad walked out not even looking at me kinda rude but hey who am i to judge.
"i am your new coach. Coach Bombay" he stated i noticed a few snickers then peter piped up "You? The Coach? You got to be kidding me" "I'm not kidding" my dad snapped then he started to reach into his pocket that didn't end well.
"look out hes got a gun" someone called i couldn't make out who tho. a gun? tf?y would tht be the first thought? Dad pulled out a sheet of paper
"Now here what o my list Charlie, Dave, Lewis, Connie, Guy, Terri, Goldberg, Jesse, Cadhla-"he paused and looked around his eyes met mine then looked away as he continued "now Wait what happened your old coach?"peter explained he had a heart attack "Great heart attack Okay You 4 against you 5"
he didn't play me? what an ass hole i swear imm- "i'm not playing u because ino ur good so don't be an ass got it" "dickhead" i mumbled but he heard and was about to fire back when Connie skated over "just so you know we suck" "i'll say who sucks around here." oh lord have mercy he could be more rude could he???? "do u even like hockey" "let me get this straight, i don't like hockey and i don't like kids"
i looked over kinda hurt i mean hes meant to be my dad and he just said he dosen't like kids or hockey even though we talked about it they continued whatever they were on about then once they left i skated up to my *dad* "so u don't like kids or hockey, " "i didn't mean it like that" was his answer.
"you know, or maybe u don't but i gave up a-lot to be here i lost everything coming here my mom died, and.. i came to my dad across the world seeking something i don't know what i was looking for because u don't give a damn about me, 14 birthdays, 14 Christmas, 3 first days of school u missed all of that not a card not a visit no i had to call u otherwise there was no call, i left friends and grandparents who were all willing to take me i.., you know why? because i'm a good kid good grades good social life, i was captain of Ireland's under 16 hockey team you no how big that is, that's as good as it gets and you don't know how good i am because 1 you've never seen 2 u never bothered to look at my games.i left it all to know my dad and it was a waste i'm going home later" i don't wait for his answer, i wasn't gonna cry. not here. Not yet. As Abby Lee Miller said*Save your tears for your pillow* i'll do that.
as soon as i got home i was upset i started crying i tried bottling up things and it never works well but i said it... Mums gone this time ...for real... And shes not coming back... I've left all my friends behind... I left my Family behind.. i'm alone... God i hate that word alone. But as much as i hate it, It seems i'm always alone while mum was sick alone in school nobody knew what i was going threw i felt alone in a room full of people
In a room full of people i've known my hole life yet im alone/ i head to my room which feels empty and alone, i lay down tears falling as i fall asleep.Cold.
