The Big Game

-  means flash back :)

George pov:

I wake up to the sound of my phone ringing closely in my ear, in annoyance I grab my phone wondering who could wake me up at 5 am on a Saturday. I pick up the phone answer the call.

  "Hello..?" I say with a scratchy voice. "GEORGE WAKE UP!" As soon as I heard that familiar energetic voice come out of my phone I knew who it was and why they bothered to wake me up at 5 am on a Saturday.

"Hold on Karl." I say through the phone.

Ah, yes. Karl Jacobs. One of my best friends I've know since 6th grade. We met in English class, both stuck with an F.

- "Hi!" A boy says with energy sitting down to me. He startled me, especially with the fact that this boy has so much energy at 7 in the morning. "OH, uh hi..?" I said nervously. "I heard were partners for the writing project!" He beamed. I totally forgot there was a writing project. I don't know how I could of forgotten when Mrs. Sally assigned us the paper like, 5 minutes ago. I probably spaced out again, once again drifting into my endless thoughts of pointless things I could do after school. "Oh, right." I say with a dull look on my face. "Why so bummed buddy? here, what's your name?" The hazel haired boy asked me while sliding a piece of notebook paper to me. "Oh uhhh, George.." I say slowly while writing my name down at the top of the paper. "Oh nice! I'm karl!" The boy Karl says while turning the peice of notebook paper to face him so he could write his name down. "SO uh let's get started, I'm pretty sure we're supposed to pick a topic we both have interest in and write down 5 things about it, and then put them all into one paragraph." Hm. Basic 6th grade work. "Oh okay. Well, what do you like?" I say with not much interest. " ohhh, I really like volleyball!" Karl says. I perked my head up. "Oh, you like volleyball?" I ask nervously. I've always been interested in volleyball since I was about 10. My big brother Steven played it in high-school. But he had to leave to college somewhere in north Carolina. Now that I think about it, he hasn't contacted us in a while. "So, you wanna get started?" Karl said. "Oh yeah sure!" I say with excitement.

And that's when it happened. Me and Karl became best friends! And around 8th grade I came out to him.

"Uh, hey karl?" I say as I try to get his attention.  "Oh, yeah gogs?" He says calling me by my nickname he gave me. " uh I'm kinda gay." I say. "I know, me too" He said. Wow. That really just happened huh.

And then soon enough we finally got the courage to sign up for volleyball. The reason why we've been waiting so long was because we were scared we wouldn't get on the same team. But we did it. One day we were walking down the hallways, seeing a group of people surrounding a area. Then we realized. It's the team lists. We rush over there with nothing nervousness coursing through our veins. As soon as we got up by the peice of paper on the bulletin board, we nervously looked at the list. And thank goodness.  "LETS GOOOO!!" Karl cheered. "Thank goodness-" then Karl almost tackled me. "GEORGE WE DID IT!" "I KNOW!" then we celebrated over at Karl's house and ordered pizza and talked about the volleyball team. And we watched a movie.

And were still best friends til this day, in fact we've got to be on the same team all this time. I'm so lucky to have Karl.

After zoning out I realized that Karl was trying to get my attention.

"....george?" "GEORGE!" Karl yells into my ear. "OH yeah, sorry. What is it?" "You do realize our volleyball game is today at 9?" Oh. "And you woke me up at 5?.." I say exhausted. "Yes we have to practice!" Karl says. "But that's why we get at the gym early-" I say but then once again cut off by Karl. "THE MORE PRACTICE THE BETTER, MEET ME AT THE SCHOOL GYM AT 7!!" then he hung up.

Looks like I have a big day ahead of me.
