Waking up and starting the day with stretches was your favorite. It always helped calm your mind and made you feel refreshed. It also prepared you for sports. Today was a special day. You had volleyball tryouts to do at 3-7 p.m. You feeling confident you walk down the sidewalk to your high school.
On the way there you passed up the baseball field. There was a huge banner spelling: "BASEBALL TRYOUTS AGES FROM 7-16. COME TRY OUT TODAY!". You watch a little seeing everyone practicing. Someone brown curly hair had caught your eye. His pitches looked very good. Smiling to yourself that seemed to lift your spirits for whatever reason.
Arriving to the gym you start warming up..
———————————————————————————————————————————————————
Yawning, you unlock your front door. Tryouts were so tiring so all you needed right now was a warm shower and sleep. You kick off your shoes and lay your bag down on your bed. You trudge to the bathroom and turn on the water to hot. Waiting for the water to warm up you go and grab some clothes to sleep in.
You wrap up your hair and hop in the shower. After 25 minutes, you hop outta the shower and dry off. Walking in your room your put on your clothes and hop in the bed. As soon as your eyes closed you fell right asleep.
Moving around slightly you wake up to the sunrise shining through your room. Checking the date on your calendar you read for August 8th. Today was the first day of school and you were so excited. Moving on to the 8th grade was fun as everyone said. You hop outta bed heading to the restroom. Getting ready you put on an outfit that'll surely catch a few people's eyes.
Heading downstairs you check for your parents. Seeing no one was home you walked to the kitchen to get some breakfast. Making some waffles you eat one and hold the other in your hand while you slip your backpack on. Making sure all your supplies are there you walk out the door to school.
Walking up the steps to the entrance you push past a few kids in the way. You enter the school to see balloons and first day of school things around. Kids handing out flyers to join clubs and to see upcoming events. Looking at your schedule you look for room 206. Finding your way there you enter the class. Taking a seat in the chair in the back you set down your backpack.
5 minutes pass until more and more kids entered the classroom. No one sat by you each time making you feel your confidence slip away. One last kid with familiar brown curly hair had came and looked around the class. Since the only seat open was next to you, he quickly moved his feet to sit there so he wouldn't feel the stares of people anymore.
He sat down next to you not knowing close he was so his hair kind of tickled the side of your face making you make a noise. He turned to you startled for some reason noticing he was too close. "Suh-Sorry.." he said nervously. You smiled at him, "No worries!" You smiled feeling a little better that someone was talking to you.
Your teacher introduced himself as Mr.Clark and told the class to turn to your partner and figure out one thing you have in common. Biting your lip a little feeling nervous to start up a conversation, you turn to your right anyway. You smile a little, "Hi, I'm R/N!" What's your's?". He looked at you and smiled a little too, "I'm Finney it's nice to meet you.". "So uhhh not to sound weird or anything but I think I seen you yesterday?" He looked a little confused. "You did?" He asked. You nod your head, "Yea.. uh baseball tryouts? You were pitching?". He made his mouth the shape of an 'o'.
You both sat there looking somewhere else than each other feeling awkward. Suddenly your face lit up. "I know what we have in common!" He looked at you expecting you to continue. "We both play sports! I play volleyball and you play baseball!". From there you both talked about yourselves and got to know each other more. "You should come see me play." You suggest to him. "Yea sure I would. Maybe you can come to my games too?" You obviously agreed.
Mr.Clark then got the class to settle down so they can start on the first lesson. Paying attention to writing down notes you doodle in the top corner. The sound of the bell interrupted Mr. Clark while everyone packed up their things and exited the class. You and finney come out talking more to each other. You said goodbye parting ways to find your next class.
This school year was off to a great start. And you were so sure you and Finney would get along just fine.
