The Pointe Of The Game

Chapter 4

Charlie Williams

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, groaning, I slowly get up to turn off my alarm BEEP, BE- slowly I look around my room. I'm finally unpacked and my room looks exactly how I want it.
Today is the first day back from winter break and excited is an understatement. Don't get me wrong, I hate being the new kid but over the break, I was texting Olivia, she told me what school she goes to and surprise! We're in the same school which isn't that ironic if you think about it because we literally only have 2 high schools in this town and the other one is on the other side of it. Sadly we weren't able to compare schedules because I'll get mine today. I'm also kinda sad that we're going back because I got to hangout and talk to Olivia a lot over the break. So much so that my parents are starting to get a little bit worried that I'm not going to be able to actually focus on what I need to do which is crap because it makes me focus more because I can't be there for her if I'm not healthy. I'm hoping I can get her a little bit more comfortable with me because she's still nervous sometimes around me but she promised me that she'd show me around and help me out today.
I quickly get dressed, make my bed, make sure my room is tidy, brush my teeth, do my hair and check my glucose monitor to see what my levels are at this morning. 3.9 I better eat something so it gets up to at least 4.
Walking downstairs I see my mom and dad and Gwen all in the kitchen talking and eating. "Hey guys, good morning!" I said happily.
I loved going to school and now having a fresh new start, I loved it even more. And hopefully I could take Olivia to school today so she could explain how her school operates more. Ok and fine, so I could spend more time with her.
Grabbing the oatmeal from the pantry, I quickly send off a text to Olivia.

Charlie: Wanna ride 2 school today? :)

Olivia: Can't. I gotta take my siblings 2 the elemry today

Charlie: my car is big enough we can take them 2.

Charlie: I wanted to get some more tips & pointers

before we actually go 2 school ;)

Olivia: Ok. But u have to give me a ride back home

Charlie: Deal. Pick u up in 30 :)

I continue to make my breakfast which is oatmeal with strawberries and bananas on top and honey drizzled all over all of it. One of my go to breakfasts. I quickly eat and then start getting everything that I need to bring to school with me-my lunch, water, glucose pouches, glucose pen, and my emergency kit of all things high in natural sugar. I go find my parents in their room getting ready for the day. "I'm leaving." I say my mom comes over to me and gives me a hug. "Do you have everything? Lunch, water, glucose pouches and pens, and your emergency kit?" She asks
"Yes, I have everything." I reassure her. My dad comes over to me and gives me a hug too. "Have a good day son. Do you have the kit you're supposed to give to the nurse too?"
"No, I didn't know there was one. Where is it?" I ask
My mom rushes out of the room calling "I'll get it" a moment later she comes back with a bag with my name on it and lots more of everything I packed in my backpack too.
"You guys are such worry warts. I'll be fine. I promise. It's not like it's the first time I've ever had an episode." I say
"We know, we just want to make sure your prepared Charlie" my dad answers
"Ok, well I'm leaving now. I'll see you guys later, love you." I say while also giving both of them a kiss on the cheek before bolting out the door. I pull my car out of our driveway and drive it over to the front of her house and shoot her a quick text.

Charlie: I'm outside, come out when you're ready ;)

Olivia: BRT
