Tatum POV:

Today our friend group is finally getting together to hangout. We've all been on break from college for about a week now and we finally found a day that everyone can come. We decided that the hangout would be at Evan's house because even though it is wayyy too cold out to go in his pool, there's still his hot tub.

Hannah, Evan and his girlfriend Lily, and of course, Emily and I will all be there. The only person who can't make it to the hangout is Chesca. She is also on break from school but she went back home to Italy to visit her family. I'm kind of bummed that I don't get to see her but she made plans to come down to UConn for a weekend once everyone is back in school so everything worked out.

Speaking of going back to school, even though its a good month away, there is something I have to do when I get back and that's talk to Coach Shaw about getting Emily a tryout. At first my plan was to ask Emily if she'd be interested in playing again and then talk to my coach if Emily was interested. I decided to speak to my coach first instead.

Getting a spot on a D1 team is extremely difficult. Our roster only has two open spots and those are typically filled by recruits, not by walk ons and I know that coach has several players that she's looking to sign. Trying to get coach to give Emily a tryout when she already has those players interested will be nearly impossible, especially since Emily hasn't played since sophomore year of high school. This whole idea of getting Emily to play again is a huge long shot, but I know that if it works out it will make Emily happy which is why I'm doing it.

But for now I'm on break from school and today I'm finally getting to see my friends so I can worry about lacrosse another day.

It's now almost 5:30pm and we are meeting at Evan's house for 6pm. I took out my phone to call Emily and see if she's ready to go because I want to pick her up.

"Hey Tate." Emily's voice said when she picked up the phone.

"Hey love." I said with a smile on my face. "Are you almost ready to go? I can be at your house in 15 to pick you up."

"Yeah I'm ready. You can come whenever." Emily responded.

"Awesome. I'll see you soon then."

"I'll see you soon. I love you." Emily replied.

"I love you too." I said before hanging up the phone.

I then grabbed my bathing suit before heading downstairs. I grabbed my car keys from off of the hook, stopping at the front door.

"I'm heading out!" I called throughout the house.

"Okay! Drive safe!" My mom called back.

"And don't be out too late!" My dad added.

"I won't!" I replied before opening the door and stepping out of the house into the brisk winter air. I swiftly walked to my car and unlocked it, hopping inside to escape the cold. As soon as I started the car, I turned both the heat and seat warmers all the way up so that by the time I get to Emily's house it won't be cold in here anymore. I then turned on the radio and backed out of the driveway and headed towards Emily's house.

As I drove, small flurries of snow were falling to the ground and swirling in front of my windshield. The gently falling snow will look so pretty as we are sitting in the hot tub later.

I was listening to the Christmas radio station because with the falling snow I am in the perfect mood for it. As I was pulling into Emily's driveway, Feliz Navidad came on and I started drumming my fingers on the steering wheel to the beat before parking the car. I left it running as I got out and walked up to Emily's front door before ringing the doorbell.
