I get out of the locker room and head towards the field outside.

"Okay people. Listen up!" the coach yells to get everyones attention. "Today we are going to play a game of soccer." All the girls cringe, but my head shoots up giving the coach my full attention. "Two captains will pick the team. I see we have a new student, get over here and tell me your name."

I do what the coach says and stand next to him. "Evan." I look up to see Evan walking over and stopping at coach his other side. "Iris, ladies first."

I look around the class and debate who would be the best. An athletic builded boy with blonde hair catches my eyes and I gesture him to come over. "Devon Marhsall." He nods, standing by my side.

"Jakey boy get your ass over here." Evan calls.

And it goes on like that. I end up with a few athletic boys and girls and leave some nerds in Evan's team together with the gossiping girls. We're gonna win this, I can feel in in every fiber in my body.

We position on the field, me and Evan both in the middle, waiting for the sign to start  playing. Coach blows his whistle and I snatch the ball away.

Devon and a boy named Keith run both over the field and I pass the ball to Devon, who passes it to Keith. Some boy from the other team takes the ball and passes it to a girl who wasn't paying a lot of attention to the game.

"Millie! Pass the ball to me, I am free!" Evan yells, making her look up. She doesn't have a clue what to do and one of my team mates snatches the ball away. It gets passed around by our team, making it hard for our opponents to catch it. I look at Evan and see the frustration on his face. Hah, loser.

Devon passes the ball to me and suddenly I run alone towards the goal. Once I see an empty spot I shoot.

"GOAL!!!!" Devon yells, making me laugh.

He and Keith lift me up on their shoulders to celebrate a small victory. I look over at Evan who is pissed. I shrug.

The game went on and on and on that way. Evan's team could score 2 points eventually, but we won with 4 of them.

"Good game." I hear someone say behind me, making me turn around.

"Thanks. You did really well too. Just some bad luck with the team." I say and he nods. 

I head towards the locker room, where everyone is gossiping again, but once again it stops when I enter the room. Some people never learn.

Once I am done I leave the building and get on my motorcycle, ready to leave.

-

"Dad! I'm home!" I yell and he comes running out of the kitchen. 

"So, how was your first day?" He grins.

"Okay, got to know a lot of people and we don't have a lot of work yet. Anyways, someone from my chemistry class asked me to come to a performance from him and his band."

"What are they called?"

"Well I don't know, but they are gonna perform at the open mic tonight at the local bar. Can I go?"

"Of course sweetie, stay safe." He smiles

Yup, thats my dad. He's quiet chill with me going out. He always has been.

I get up to my room and fall back on my bed, opening my messages.

Alexa03: Hey girl, Marcus told us he invited you tonight. You're coming right?

IrisFelmont: Of course, can't wait for it. Don't know how to dress tbh.

Alexa03: Im going to come over and help you out. Send me your adres and I'll be there in '5.

IrisFelmont: Great, thanks. Kennedy Lane 67. 

Alexa03: See you in a bit.

Iris Felmont: Bye

I scroll a bit trough my phone to get some outfit inspirations, but find nothing.

Suddenly the doorbell rings and I run downstairs. "It's for me!"

I open the door and Alexa barges in the house.

"Not knowing how to dress is a total emergency. Let's gooooo!" I laugh at how open she suddenly is once you get to know her a bit.

We go to my room and she stops with shock written on her face.

"Where are the family and friends pictures? Does something in this room make your room your room? There is no soul! Explain." She rants.

"Not my thing." I shrug.

"Anyways, Lets see what you have." She said. She was wearing a red skirt with a black oversized sweater on it and some black heels. Her hair was curled slightly.  "Your closet is a mess."

"Never said it wasn't."

"Anyways, try this." She throws a black crop top, some mom jeans and my leather jacket at me. "Oh and these shoes. they would be perfect." She says as she hands me my Doctor Martins'.

I put everything on and look at myself in the mirror. "Isn't this casual?" I ask her and she nods. 

"True, lets see how we can fix this. Replace the jeans by this skirt and the shoes by these sneakers." She gives me a black skirt and my all white diadoras. "I didn't find any heels." She pouts.

"I hate them. They hurt too much and last time I wore them I fell from the stairs." That was with new year last year. My ex and I were at a new years party and while walking down the stairs I fell and got embarrassed infront of everyone who matters at my old school.

"Ouch, I understand that."

I put on the clothes and looked at myself. The skirt was short, but not too short.

"All done'" Alexa smiles. "Lets goooo. The others are waiting for us." She pulls me downstairs.

"Wait, so I'll be sitting with you guys?" I ask hesistant.

"Duhn." I tense up. "Relax everyone is okay with it. Okay, Evan is a bit annoyed, but the others all like you. Theo is a bit skeptical, but once he gets to know you he will chill a bit."

"Okay."

"Evan is gonna pick us up. Now we wait."

A few minutes later we hear a car honk outside.

"Bye dad, we're leaving!" I yell before running out of the house with Alexa.

I look at the black range rover. Nice car.

"Get in guys, Marco is already there." Dean yells out of the window.

We end up with Evan driving, Theodore next to him and then Dean, Alexa and me on the backseat.

This is gonna be a long drive.
