In the Name of the Game

Chapter 2: I am only me when I am with you

Lupe's Pov

I can't believe that she was being this serious.. I just wanted to be back in New York, not stuck in somewhere Tennessee.

"Vamos, leVántate." I hear my abuela yell from downstairs.

"Abuela it's the summer." I stated throwing the covers over my head.

"En español." She shouted as a groan escaped my lips, before I feel the comforter being pulled from me.

Another groan escaping my lips as I see my abuela smiling back at me.

"Levantate tu mama te inscribió en algunos deportes." She said as I just shook my head trying to grab the sheets."Tenemos que ir a comprarte zapatos."

"Fine. But can you let me get dress in peace?" I asked as she threw the pillow at me before walking out.

I quickly grabbed my compression shorts, they had long become my best friend. I didn't like talking about my other appendage very often, although my mom would make sure to tell me that it didn't change how much she loves me.

"Come on we have a lot of stores to stop at." My abuela said as soon as I made my way down into the living room. "Always with the caps."

"Come on abuela it's my signature look, besides got to represent mom. And look at that with English." I said as a smile came across my face. "I still don't see why mom even signed me up for any of this, especially soccer I don't even know how to play."

"No empieces conmigo, she wants you to have as many opportunities as you can have." She said as she grabbed her keys, it was always usually me and her most of the time.

My abuela always seemed to find the fun in just shopping even if was at my expense. To be completely honest I think she was doing it just to over compensate, she thought my whole extra appendage was her fault.

I was currently waiting for her outside of finishline, we had found some shoes that would actually work. It was starting to get harder to find the shoes that I actually needed in my.. I mean I already stood taller than her and my abuelo.. what did they expect my mom was like 6' and my dad 6'3.

"Mom can we go check out that store." I heard coming from in front of me, shaking me out of my thoughts.

This beautiful blonde stood across the way, making my heart completely start to flutter. Our eyes finally meeting as a huge smile came across her face, the two of us not wanting to break contact.

Taylor's Pov

"So we are actually are moving?" I questioned almost squealed so loudly that my parents were telling me to relax.

"Yes. I mean you and your mother are almost always in Nashville anyways. We found a town that is still close, but we will still be out a ways." My dad said a smile came across my face, I jumping up and down, not exactly being able to keep my excitement down.

"Taylor Sweetheart please calm down, besides we know this will also give you a chance to get away from everything here." My mom said as I nodded but quickly gave them both a hug, before making my way up to my room.

When we first made it into Hendersonville, I still couldn't contain my excitement.. I was ready for anything that would come my way.

It had been a few weeks since we had finally settled into Hendersonville, I had finally talked my mom into checking out the mall scene here. I was hoping that maybe I would be able to run into a few people my age so that I wouldn't have to go into 8th grade not knowing anyone.
