"kaden! come here please" i hear my mom yell down the stairs

i walk up to her room and see her with her arms crossed

"have you taken the trash out yet? i told you to do it an hour ago" she asks

"no ma'am i'll go right now" i reply

i run down the stairs and grab the full trash bag and make my way outside, where my little brother was playing.

i throw the trash in the dumpster and get on my phone before walking back to the house.

i was texting the football group chat

🏈THE BOYS🏈

Braden

Jp

Nathan

Deaton

——

i swipe out and start heading back to the house

i hear karter call my name and i see olivia and her siblings

i've known olivia for a while. well, i don't really know her necessarily, but i know of her.

i've always thought she was so pretty and cool, but i've never talked to her. never really got an opportunity to

"meet onyx... and his sisters!" karter says with a huge smile

i shake all their hands. when i shook olivia's i didn't want to let go, so i didn't.. until she pulled hers away.

i could feel my face get red so i turned away

"cmon we gotta go eat dinner" i said to karter as i started walking to the door

karter and onyx said bye and i watched as olivia began walking home

when we got inside, i went to her tiktok

i looked in her bio and found her snap, so of course i added her.

almost an hour had passed and she hasn't added me back. i hope she doesn't think im a stalker.

as i'm tapping through stories, i get a notification

olivia 🌺 has added you back!

i instantly begin typing

me
hey i got ur snap from tiktok

olivia 🌺
stalking me already?

i stare at my phone for a second in embarrassment before typing again

me
what! no😭 my mom told me to text you and ask about onyx's birthday party. i guess he told carter about it

olivia 🌺
haha i'm messing with you
it's next friday at our house. i think my mom is gonna send out invitations with more details and carter can bring his bathing suit if he wants to swim. we have towels for everyone

me
awesome! see you there

i swipe out if the chat and go to the group chat

🏈THE BOYS🏈

me
anyone talk to olivia?

Jp
you mean my sisters best friend?

Deaton
she's the only olivia that goes to our school bro
i've never really talked to her tho. why

me
no reason

i get out of the group chat and set my phone down

i know jess is jp's sister, and her and olivia have been friends for a while so maybe jp knows a little about her

i don't know why i care.. i barely know her

but maybe i want to get to know her more

i take a shower and brush my teeth before going to bed, still wondering about olivia

why she's on my mind? i have no idea

i distract myself by playing the game before getting some rest before practice tomorrow

"mom, i'm leaving" i say as i pop my head into her room

she slightly opens her eyes and smiles
"have fun at practice honey" she says before laying her head back down to fall back asleep

on the way to practice i pick up jp and his sister

finally, we get to the field and the first person i see is olivia

i smile and wave but she just gives me a half smile and a slight wave back

she immediately looks away and get out of her car.
i do the same.

jess runs to olivia, maddie, and taylor while me and jp meet up with the rest of the team to begin practice

as we're about to start i keep catching myself glance her way...
