Emma seems to find out everything. She meets me in math class and says "You can get the hang of this dating thing." as she sits down. I frown at her. I didn't need any help. She wasn't a self confidence booster either. I sigh and sit in my chair thinking about Thomas. I had to talk to him. I couldn't resist him at all.
After class I find Thomas in the hall tying his shoes. I gradually walk over and say "Hi I'm sorry about spilling hot chocolate on you." I blush as say this feeling embarrassed. He says it is ok and that we not mention it. "I'll pick you up for practice at 4:00" he says and winks before the bell rings.As I go into my science class. I see Troy him eyeing me every single step I take. "You win this time. Coach will let me back I will find a way." Troy says. His words didn't scare me at all. I just smiled and waited for class to start.
The final bell rings and I am eager to get home. I put on my leggings and t-shirt. I wait for Thomas to pick me up. He comes right on time 4 on the spot. He opens the door to his car and welcomes me in.As we start to ride to practice me and Thomas talk. We talk about how dates are bad on the first try but as we go on it will get better. He then kisses me on the cheek. "That is how you know that I like you and I want to on another date." I blush. I didn't expect for him to kiss me. Even though it was on the cheek it was still a kiss. We go to the locker room.
He walks inside and I wait for everyone to leave out. This is like a daily routine for me. I go in when I feel like everyone is gone. I get changed and walk out. Coach greets me and says " We are going to scrimmage today half of you blue half red. August you go blue. " He said excitingly.
As we start I send the ball to the left winger. He send right back to me. I dribble,do some tricks and get around each defender until it is me and the goalie. I fake kick the ball making the goalie dive to the left. I then kick the ball into the goal while he is still on the floor. Coach pats me on the back and says "Great job let me see some moves like that on Thursdays game." Then walks away. I had made another impression on Coach but I was not stopping there.
As Thomas drove me back home he hugs me as I go into my house and gives me his number. He sends the message:
Hey why don't we go out after Thursday's game I'll pick you up at 8:30😋.
As blush as I send the message "Yes of course. " This was a pretty good day it would be even better if Troy had moved to a different school but we can't have all things in life.
