A Dream of Living a Better Life

Cuts and Practice

Today I walk to school with a little more speed to my step and am trying to see if I made it onto the football team. I make it to school and notice I'm five minutes early so I stand by myself in front of the door waiting for it to open. "Hey Katrina, wanna hang out at lunch today", Ashton questions as he walks up to me. "Uh sure I guess" I say nervously since I have trust issues. "I want to be friends with you also Katrina", he tells me. "Ok we can be friends but your going to have to gain my trust", I tell Ashton truthfully. "Oh okay, you can meet some of my lady and guy friends at lunch then", he yells overjoyed. Huh friends I like the sound of that word rolling if my tongue. It's been years ten years since I've had an actual trustworthy friend. The doors open and I rush inside to see the cut list posted on the board. Many others are already there and I see my name on the list before leaving. Nothing eventful happens during the day until lunch. I come to lunch with my lunch box and see Ashton sitting at a table of mainly guys who made it onto the football team and a few girls that I don't know. "Hey Katrina", all the guys on the football team chorus together. So I grab an empty seat beside Chris and Ashton. "To all of you who don't know he-him yet his name is Katrina", Ashton politely informs the group. "Hello everyone", I politely tell everyone. "Hey my name is Kat and I wanna be friends with you", Kat tell me. "Hi my name is Emma and I like you, we should be friends", Emma tells me. "My name is Ale and I think we should be friends", Ale tells me. "My name is Will", he tells me. "My name is Ari and we are in the football team together", Ari tells me. "My name is Chris and we are also on the football team together", he tells me. "My name is Austin but you can call me big bro", Austin tells me. Yeah just to tell you Austin, Chris, Ari, Mike, Elli, and I all live on the same street so we kinda bonded over the summer that I left my mansion in Germany and France. Here I live in a three story house the only three story house in the neighborhood of Hill Valley. The guys are all my friends and Ashton found out I'm a girl this morning when he saw me walk into the girls bathroom. "I'm glad to have you guys want to be my friends", I tell them truthfully. Then the lunch bell rings and it's time to go. "Thank you everyone and I'll sit here tomorrow", I thank them. So in all my other classes nothing else eventful happens and it's time for football practice. I change and go outside to see that I'm the first one to get out there so I warm up by running six laps and then everyone gets outside. "Alright everyone it's time to practice", the coach tells us stating the obvious. "Yes sir", we all yell in unison. So we start by running two laps around the football field and doing some stretches. "Alright so let's begin", our coach yells to us. So after practice I'm all sweaty but not tired yet. My butler is already waiting for me in our limo. "Bye Chris, Ari, Ashton, Lo, Mar, and Air", I yell to my new found friends. "Ready to go home Miss Katrina", my butler asks. I just give him a nod of my head and we drive home. At home I eat dinner and head to my room. I don't fall asleep until four o'clock in the morning and woke up two hours later to my annoying alarm clock.
