Another day of school passed, and another, and then one more. Today was Friday the best day of week voted by most! Tomorrow would be Saturday! I was already dressed and downstairs in like...5 minutes, the new record! Carlos was telling us about how he had made the Willow Wood middle school track team. He was very, very proud of himself. The bus came right when Carlos was telling us how finished first place runner in tryouts yesterday.
"Carlos the bus is here, time to end your story" My mom said.
My mom, like I told you, is a Doctor so she leaves for the Office when we go to school. That leaves dad here organizing school stuff for when he gets called...if he gets called.
Me and Carlos ran out the door in record time, we were on it today! As we entered the school bus and anonymous hand was flailing there hand like crazy, but when i looked closer it was Alyssa! Carlos saw it too, thus giving me a weird look. I ignored him and made my way over to Alyssa. I didn't really want to sit by her, but what choice did i have? "Hey Adriana" She said in that same high pitched squeal. All i could think about was that she hadn't called me the "Transfer student" Like last time we met. I was very grateful for that!
"Hi Alyssa, I didn't know you came on the bus."
"Ya well my mom and dad are really busy this week so they made me ride the bus." Alyssa said, but the excitedness in her voice had dropped.
I didn't know why her mom and dad all of a sudden just got busy. I decided not to push the subject, instead I changed it.
"You trying out any sport this year?" I asked. I kinda hoped she would so she would actually be busy. Although it was kinda nice to have someone I know, somewhat, to sit with.
"Um...ya i play...What sport do you play?" She didn't really answer my question at all but i decided maybe if i told her my sport maybe she'd tell me hers.
"I play soccer, tryouts are this Monday." I said, my voice was excited now. I had played soccer all my life, I knew I would make the team, but I didn't say that.
"Really? No way i play soccer too!"Her voice sounded a little forced but it still didn't dull my shock!
"No way! Are you trying out on Monday?" I asked if I hoped she would then I could have a...friend? I don't know what to call her yet.
"WHAT! Is that when tryouts are?...ya i'll be there! There it was again the forced look and sound. It was enough to make me suspicious.
