My alarm sounds at 7 the next morning and i reluctantly roll out of bed. The first thing i do is open my curtains because the sun has rose by now and i need that natural lighting. I make my bed, brush my teeth, then change.I turn on the Born to die album by Lana Del Rey and start my makeup. By the time i finish it's around 7:30 and Lena is walking in. She's known the code to my house for a while so she almost always just lets herself in. She's wearing a blue denim jean skirt and a white top that's tight around her chest by flows out at the bottom.
"Ooh cute outfit." I say as i meet her downstairs. She compliments mine as well as i grab my lunchbox to pack it. I ended up going with the black denim shorts because the blue ones were just a tad too short for school.
I pack my lunch and we leave the house around 7:55 this morning. We park in the second row, next to Blake again. We walk in at about 8:15 again. "You guys going to the soccer meeting tonight?" Caroline asks us. We both say yes.
We sit at our regular seats in math again and go over the syllabus for the year, playing games at the end. Asher Alden walks up to my right before the bell is about to ring. "Hey Keely, you going to the party tonight?"
"No i'm not." I shake my head as i pull my backpack on. "Too bad. I would have loved to see you there." "Maybe next time." I smile and he walks away as the bell rings. Lena starts walking with me even though her class is the opposite way. "Ke, please let's go tonight, Asher is so cute. And you two have history." She winks.
I roll my eyes. "There will be another one soon. We were gonna hangout tonight." She fake pouts before heading the opposite way. The rest of school is boring and not worth documenting. I meet Lena by the main doors before we head to her car.
"What time should i grab you for the soccer meeting?" Lena asks. "4:30 maybe? Do you want to sleepover." "Duh."
We turn on music and she drops me off at my house before heading back to hers. I drop my stuff off and go to let my dog, Clara, out. She's a mini golden doodle my parents got me for my birthday a while ago.
Afterwards i head upstairs to finish my book. I'm reading The summer of broken rules and i've only got about 50 pages left. I finish it before Lena comes. She arrives at around 4:10 and drops her stuff off in my room.
I'm wearing black lulu shorts and one of my soccer t-shirts, with my hair in a low ponytail. We get there about 10 minutes early. "Lena! Keely!" Both our heads turn to find Caroline, with Blake and Conor behind her.
We smile and let her catch up to us. "Which team do you guys hope to make this year?" "Orca's." We both respond. It's the highest and most competitive team in our league. Last year, all 3 of us were on The Dolphins which is the second highest team to make.
"Me too. Conor and Blake want The Sharks, so if we all make our dream teams we'll scrimmage together." She responds. Caroline tries to grab Conor hands and he tucks it in his pocket. Annoyance crosses her face for a second but she moves on quickly by opening the door for us instead.
"I give it 3 more days." Lena mutters under her breath. "Lena." I scold nudging her shoulder. She rolls her eyes as we sit down. "Welcome everyone. I don't want this meeting to be long so let's jump right in." Coach Kinsley says.
He checks off everything important for the next 15 minutes before wrapping it up. "Finally, clinics will be next week, Tuesday through Thursday and tryouts Friday. See you all then." He dismisses us and head back out to our cars. "You guys wanna grab ice cream?" Blake asks us all, but he's mainly looking at Lena.
We all say yes and follow Blake to our favorite place, Dreyer's. I order the most basic flavor, cookies and cream. Lena always tells me I'm the world's pickiest eater and I'm totally fine with that. I pack almost the exact same thing for lunch everyday.
