"jackass" "welcome" they walk to a small soccer field and she turns on some music. "what the fuck is this" "your mom,music obviously,90s rap is the best" "yes but not this song,skip it" "fine" "there we gooo" she slips on her cleats. "so ima teach you how to shoot" "that's easy" "no it's not so if im trying to hit the left corner for example you have to angle your foot,it's all bout the angles like if im diagonal from it,curve about 45 degrees and boom" she hits the top left corner. "your good" "that's why im passing in math" "and use the side of your foot" "ok side,angle got it" "now try,open goal" he gets a crossbar. "IMAGINEEEE" "it was literally the corner above,i cant aim" "you literally play baseball" "that's hand eye coordination,this is foot eye coordination" "ok jackass,since your so smart,1v1 right now,open goals" "fine by me" "ill go easy on you" she goes a sarcastic look before booting the ball in the air and immediately nutmegging him. "you've gotta try" "can't i teach you to play baseball" "i used to play softball" "boring" "now cmon,pass" she kicks him the ball and he passes to her back. "good" "now,imagine im like a bomb that will destroy the whole world ,in the middle of the goal and you have to avoid it by shooting behind me" "right,i can do that" "go" he kicks her the ball. you can either go 45 degrees or 90 for over my head kid" he makes it over her head. "yes dude i taught you something" "im just amazing" "mmh not yet,you gotta master passing. "same thing" "sorta so" she jogs over to him. "so for example if im dribbling,run towards me" he walks towards her. "put some energy into it" he jogs. "so your a defender right so stand there" she moves him. "and if the ball is like that they're gonna stick their leg out,easiest trick in the book so what your wanting to do is dip literally like that" she kicks the ball beside him. "boom,you try so im running ah im gonna eat you" he kicks the ball past her. "perfect" "your actually fun to hang out with" "aw thank you now we can 1v1,actually this time and put in effort" "i will i will,look no shoes" "no shoes it is" she takes off her cleats and takes off her sweatpants and puts on her knee brace. "you get first kick" he bolts up the field and she tackles him. "SHIT SORRY INSTINCT" she bursts out laughing. "you bitch" "ay" she punches his arm. "cmon" "alright" the two start fighting. "you win you win" "that's what i thought thames" he flips her off. "wow" "do that tiktok dance with me" "the simple one,that goes to like every song" "ohhh,truce then?" "ok ok" he sets his phone up and they do it. "lovely" "i know right" "whyd you wanna do it" "because" "loserrrr" "the suns gonna set soon,get your shit" "where we goin" "to my spot" "ok ok" they walk to the beach and sit on some rocks as the sun sets. "woah" "i know,i just come here and listen to music" "might have to steal this actually not even the gang know bout my spot so,only maddy" "must be secret" "it is" she puts her knees to her chest and they make eye contact. "what?" "it's beautiful" "not as beautiful as you" he mutters. "huh" "nothing" she smirks. "i mean you are-" "hot like jadennn" "shut up don't ruin the moment" she chuckles. "can i ask you something bryson?" "go ahead" bryson crosses her legs and turns towards mason. "so last night" "yeah" "you said something and like" "what that i liked you or something" "yeah" "i do not lord thames,i think of you as a dear friend as i am obsessed with people from north california which is a bad type and i cant deal with dating again" "what happened" "my ex,he was really toxic like i cut my hair into a frickin bob for him and shit" "oh im sorry" "it's chill,im like healed but i just can't date someone,not yet" "i get what you mean" "yeah" she gives a weak smile,placing her knees to her chest again.
the tension rises as she looks down to the rocks below her. she looks back up and they make strong eye contact. "we better um head back" "can we please watch the whole sunset?" mason lies down. "ive never seen it" "yeah totally" she leans back also,adjusting her brace. "you ok?" he says softly. "mhm" "good" they make eye contact agai before they both sit up. "can i?" "can you what?" he places his hand on her jaw and gives her a soft kiss. "im sorry i just had to,like" "it's alright,friends kiss" "right that's why i did it" "now we better head back" "yeah" they start walking back in silence. "thank you for letting me crash" "it's no problem,really" "my new house is like two blocks away so" "i know,your brother sent me everything for you,making me send them updates" "they're good kids,me and nick did good" she chuckles. "you did"
