Memories

Felix De la Rosa

I chuckle to myself, reading over the messages with Susy. God, it was just too easy with these girls. I quickly take screenshots of the conversation, forwarding them over to Luis.

"30 bucks on my way!" I texted him, slipping my phone back into my pocket, feeling more accomplished than ever.

I look around the class a bit, seeing Susanna talk to her friend. Beside their table was another table with another group of kids. I see a girl with almost black hair and a grey sweater. She looked easy to get as well. I'm not sure what her name was, but as soon as I was done with little ol' Suzy, I'll find out.

I pull my phone out again, knowing damn well I'm not paying attention to whatever the teacher yapped about. A notification appeared on my screen, it was from Luis.

He laughed at the screenshots, replying with: "Broke ahh boy". I let out a small chuckle at his message, knowing damn well it really wasn't about the money. It was just to show how many ladies I could get before I leave. More about my ego, really.

I leave him on delivered and immediately open Clash Royale, playing the time away.

Finally, time for practice. I loved being able to play soccer again with my friends. I loved being able to play in general. It was a way to get rid of everything on my mind. Nothing else matters in that moment other than playing. I run some warm up laps around the field and do some stretches. My friends walk up to me as I finish up my stretches.

"Hey man. Anything new with you?" Edward asks me, bored.

"Uhhh, nothing much, I've pretty much told y'all what I've been up to." I replied
"Oh wait, actually, Susanna's coming over today." I add.

Their eyes all widen.

"Susanna's coming over? Mind if I join bro?" Jaiden asks.

"Nah man I'm working something here." I say, looking at Luis.

"Speaking of, do you guys know who that girl in 5th period is that wears that gray sweater with dark brown hair is?" I ask the group.

"Oh Taylor? Yeah that's Taylor Castle. What about her?" Edward asks.

"I'm kinda feeling her, man." I admit to them.

"Oh, well good luck with that man." Edward replied, sounding somewhat disappointed.

"Hey, y'all gonna act like you haven't been interested in multiple girls at once?" I asked

"We really haven't bro..." Luis replied, voice trailing off.

"Whatever. There's enough of me to go around anyway." I reply, shaking my head and laughing.

Finally, practice is over. I can go home now. We had to do suicides today since some kids on the team got in trouble. Sometimes, teamwork doesn't make the dream work. Oh wait, Susanna's supposed to come over today. Damn, I gotta finish that up first.

Let's just see how much fun I can have with her.
