"You okay?"
"Yeah. Well, maybe not. I just don't want this to have that big of an affect on me."
It was the day after Thanksgiving, and Jaime had to fly back to Miami for a basketball game. Caitlin must have called me at least 200 times by know, but I don't really feel like answering. I know that at the end of the day, she didn't do anything wrong, but I just don't even know what to say.
"And, Rory!?"
"Hmph?"
"Make good choices. I know that this is all a little knew and all, but it is really confusing. I think that Caitlin is seriously a nice girl, and super talented, but don't make any stupid decisions. Don't let all the charm get over the really hard subjects. And you deserve to be happy, regardless of what a family thinks of you. "
"Thanks, Jaime. You are the best."
"Anything for you, Rory. And I will see you sometime soon, promise!"
"Promise!"
Coming back to school on the car ride home I decided, that I should probably just text her back, just to tell her to make sure that I am okay.
Caitlin
today 10:45am
Rory
hey. I just wanted to let you know that I am back at school. Just wanted to tell you that I am safe, and here, and yeah.
Caitlin
Rory, I am so so glad that you responded. I am coming back a day early, I just couldn't stand my parents any longer. We should meet up tomorrow. All the restaurants and stuff will be open, but not busy because not many people will be back yet.
Rory
okay, sounds good.
I felt bad for being a little cold toward Caitlin. I knew what she had done wasn't wrong, but I still felt like I couldn't be 100% open after what happend yesterday.

After doing a shoot around, I realized that my shot was a little bit off.
I think that I have just have so much on my mind that it is making it to hard to focus.
As I was trying to get my three-pointer right, seeing that my shot was off, Coach Bluder came into the arena.
"Oh hey, Coach! I didn't know that you were coming today."
"Rory!! I've been looking for you all day!"
"Oh, I've just been in here shooting around a little bit. Is everything okay?" I ask, she sounds a little bit concerned.
"Um... not really."
"What do you mean, not really."
"You've been accused of a few crimes, we have to take you down to the station right now."
