Chapter 6

Wow. I haven't written in 10 days. That's because I've kind of been dealing with insomnia. Fun, right? Anyway, I have some stuff to recap. First of all...

I MADE THE SOCCER TEAM!!!!!!!

Yes, you heard me right. I made the soccer team! Our tournament is this week and I'm carpooling with my friend (fake name Khloé).

Today was a strange day. Why? Allow me to recap. So, today Sky and I went to ASL club at the start of the lunch period since this meeting was for the full lunch hour since our performance is soon and we need to practice. Turns out, only the club members from our class heard the announcement, so there were only four of us. Me, Sky, Aiden, and John. Emma was also there because she runs the club. First, we ate our lunches and talked. Then Emma started to arrange us in our 'formation' for the performance. You know what she said to me? "Evelyn (that's my fake name), can you go stand next to John?" Ugh, why HIM of all people? I knew it was because we're literally the same height, but still! Emma probably put us together on purpose. So I went over and stood next to him like Emma said to. So then Sky starts cracking up because I was forced to stand next to John. I stepped to the side a little, to DISTANCE a little bit. My face the whole time was literally "Help me". After ASL, Sky kept talking about what happened, and how funny it was.

Today we had a meeting. Basically Emma started this environmental organization thing. We have meetings every Tuesday after school. Today Julia came to the meeting. There were only three of us there today. We literally got no work done because Julia kept talking to us. It was annoying. It wasn't all bad since I did learn some valuable information. I learned that Julia likes John again. Emma actually told me because Julia wouldn't even though she promised to because she thought I would get mad at her since I kind of hate John. I wasn't mad, I just shouted "I knew it!". Then we started talking about this girl who we found out likes Aiden. I kind of suspect that Emma still likes him, though. Then we played Truth or Dare. I always pick truth when I play just because I've been traumatized. Every time, I got asked questions about the boys in our class. Like, WHAT? Those are just weird. Plus, all the guys in our class are ugly. Since Julia and I left at the same time, we walked home together (we live close to each other). I got the latest details on her conversations with John. So apparently, she sort of confronted him (over FaceTime) about the whole thing with calling me a "Boring Smart Person". Apparently he said that he doesn't think that anymore and just thought it "In the moment". He did apologize (to Julia, over a call) for calling me that. Like, he could have apologized to ME. He knows that I know, because Julia apparently told him and he was like, "Why would you tell her?". The Julia said it wasn't nice, then John proceeded to apologize. So yeah. The last thing that she told me was that John said he really liked the poster Sky and I made for science. Why doesn't he tell ME this stuff? Is he that scared to talk to me?

Today I didn't go to school because of the soccer tournament. It was fun. My school's team won all 4 games we played. I didn't score. It was because I was a midfield. I have no idea why I tried out for that position because I'm so much better at striker. I think it was because my dad told me I would be a good midfielder and I totally believed him (bad idea). My school's team also sort of became friends with another team. They cheered us on during some of our games. The last team we played today was weird because I recognized SO MANY people on that team. It was kind of creepy.

I have learned that people in my class talk about me behind my back. Apparently, people think I'm rude. Sky told me this and I trust her. I don't understand.

Today was the last day of our soccer tournament. We lost both games. We lost to the last team in a shootout. I blame my judgmental parents for this. We won all our games when they weren't there, but they came today. At least my parents got me lunch.

Today was my first soccer game on a new (house league) team. I am so mad that someone STOLE MY NUMBER! Instead I got number 11. I think it's a cool number because 11x2 is 22, 11x3 is 33, 11x4 is 44, and so on. My team is really bad. I recognize maybe two players. Some girls on my team don't even know the positions! Ugh. Btw, I'm the best player on the team. It's really obvious. Even the people on the sidelines said so. See? I'm not bragging. I'm stating facts. However, there was this one girl that was trying to compete with me even though she's really bad. Since no one really knew what to do, everyone stayed back, so I was stuck running the whole length of the field with no other teammates and scoring.

Author's Note: Chapter 6 is here! I was just counting the entries that I have heft in this first journal. After these, there are about 3 entries left. That will be chapter 7, then chapter 8 will start the new one. Also, the next entry is an interesting one so stay tuned!
