The ball is at my feet

I am a soccer fan. Playing, watching. I love it always. My friends don't understand but it's cause they're into other stuff.
Today I was in the gym cause I went in for my Discovery class for "free time". There was my team playing without me because my class came late. I ran straight in. I kicked the ball and scored, immediately. Focused on the ball with tedious precision. I run at it ignoring my surroundings, the crowd, my friends, the teachers staring. Pushing through the crowded gym, dodging people and objects. And come on this is hard to believe but I flipped in mid air, SIDEWAYS and kicked the ball in the net! WHAT?! WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THAT?!! PHYSICS MUCH?!
Then out of NOwhere the ball pinballs to the other side of the gym. I run for it, and WHAM! I collide head on with big headed, dim witted Armondo. (And believe me his head is the size of a small child) "Ow!" I say, as I hit the floor like a marble.
My two best friends help me over to the wall. They ask if I'm okay. "Yeah," I say in a daze. Shoot, I'm dizzy.
I was too dizzy to remember the other guy who helped me but I remember Jason. Jason. Why did I remember Jason? I couldn't forget him.
The other guy walks off. "You okay?" He asks. "Yeah" and I smile. "Listen, take a break. Big headed Armando wasn't paying attention," he says. Okay. Lol, I think. "The heavens are speaking to me," he smiles. "What are they saying?" I ask laughing. "They're saying : 'you're  okay. 'You can do it, let's go win"
I know I'm dizzy but I'm... I'm okay. I run for the black and white ball and knee Carlos in his ..., oops.
Soon they say it's time to go. Everyone lines up. I get water. When we get upstairs I go to the water fountain on my hall. Of course the halls buzzing with people. I'm standing there for 10 minutes drinking.
Josiah comes up and says "You like drinking from that fountain of liquid, huh?" I laugh, he laughs. We both die. Woooooow, Josiah, woooow. "If the liquid is water and the fountain is a water fountain," I say.Then Ashanti walks over and says " Are you gonna take over the WHOLE thing?" Excuse me? I keep drinking for another five minutes, get up, roll my eyes at her scowl, and deliberately say "Yes." And walk of like a complete... Boss.
Once I get to my classroom, I see Carlos talking to some boy, I don't remember. "Hey, Elly," he calls. "Yeah?" I respond. "You busted my nut," he says laughing. "Excuse me?" I ask. What....? "You kicked me hard," he says. He looks like a skinny, darker(but not brown) Bobby Moynihan, with silkier hair. "Okayyyyyy....." I leave and go to social studies, my favorite class with my favorite teacher. Today we learn about World War II.
