A Dream of Living a Better Life

One of My Many Secrets are Out

I get into the limo after eating one fried egg and two pieces of turkey bacon. No I'm not anorexic I just don't eat very much. I get to school and wait for my friends outside. "Hey Katrina, I'm here", I hear Ale yell walking towards me off the bus. "Hey Ale, how did you sleep", I start s conversation with her. "I slept good, how did you sleep", she answers back. "I slept fine, I got two hours of sleep and I'm perfectly fine", I tell her. By now all the guys and the rest of my friends had gotten here. They all either walk or ride the bus. I'm supposed to ride the bus but I kind of prefer my limo and personal butler. "What are you okay",Ale asks me. "I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with me", I say giving her my signature fake smile. "Are you sure", Emma questions me. "Yeah I'm perfectly fine there's not a thing wrong with me", I tell the group in general. "I think there's something your not telling us", Kat thinks out loud. "I'm fine, gosh how many times do I have to tell you this", I yell getting very frustrated. "Alright no need to get frustrated with them, they are just trying to help you", Chris says. "Ok but I don't need anybody's help with anything because there is nothing wrong with me", I tell them. "Keep telling yourself that", Ari mutters under his breath. We all start talking about random things and the teacher lets us into the building. The school day is boring until lunch since at home I take a college class online but go to this school to meet new people. At lunch I sit at the table with all of them again. "Hey everybody, who wants my sandwich", I ask my friends. "I do", Kat raises her hand and I hand her my whole sandwich. "So who wants to hang out after school", Emma asks us. "I would but you know I got football practice", I tell the girls sadly. "It's okay maybe it'll work this weekend", Sop comes over to the table just arriving here. "Yeah maybe, but would you girls' parents be ok with a guy coming over", I question them. "Yeah, as long as the guys don't stay the night and don't try anything", all the girls chorus at the same time. "Ok then it's gonna be okay with my parents so its okay to hang out this weekend", I tell them. The lunch bell rings and we go to our next classes. At the end of the day I say bye to my friends not on the football team and change for practice. I make it outside but today Chris had beat me onto the field for practice. Once everyone is outside for practice we begin by running two laps and doing our stretches. "Alright everyone put your helmets on and let's begin", the coach yells. So we all put our helmets on and start practicing. After a while we take a water break. Once we begin again I'm tackled very hard by a guy twice my size after catching the ball. The impact of me hitting the ground makes my helmet fly off. With the helmet my beanie slips off. There are a round of recollected gasps as my black hip long curly hair falls out of the beanie. My coach is the first one to speak, "well that's very surprising to have a girl on the team for the first time". I hear a lot of guys whispering as to how beautiful I am and how they always thought I was a guy. "Alright everyone back to practice", coach yells. "Wait everyone please don't tell anyone about my being a girl, I have my reasons for being disguised as a guy", I tell everyone. "Okay, we promise", all the guys chorus together. At the end of practice I get into my limo and my butler drives me home. As I lie in bed that night I think of what and interesting day this had been.
