"Hey honey! How were tryouts?" My mom asked as I walked through the front door, my family sitting at the table eating dinner.
"It was fun! I think I did pretty good!"
"That's good" she smiled. "When do they post the list?"
"Tomorrow at noon"
My mom nodded. "I'm sure you'll make it, you were the best one on your old team."
"Lover come sit by me! We're eating spaghetti!" August stood on her chair, waving me over.
"Alright Auggie, I'll be there in a minute, let me just go put my stuff away real quick" I chuckled before running up the stairs and throwing my bag down on my bedroom floor.
I sat down next to August and ate dinner. Once I finished eating and helping clean up, I went back upstairs to work on some homework.
"Lover?" August walked into my room around 9.
"What're you still doin up, Aug?"
"I can't sleep but mommy and daddy's door is locked and I don't know why"
Oh the innocence of five year olds.
"Maybe they're just sleeping and don't want people coming in"
"But I think mommy was crying"
Oh-
"I'm sure she's alright Aug. Daddy's in there with her to...make her feel better...you can stay in my room for a little bit though if you can't sleep"
"Yay!" her face lighted up as she eagerly crawled into my bed, snuggling up in my lap.
"What's that?" she pointed to my homework.
"Biology"
"Huh?"
I chucked. "You'll learn about it when you're older. Now try and get some sleep, I don't want you to be tired tomorrow"
"Tomorrow is Friday! My teacher said we have fun Fridays where we just get to play for a little bit!"
"Oh man, definitely can't be tired for that then!"
"Yeah, I'll go to sleep" She squeezed her eyes shut tightly.
I giggled and pulled my blanket over her as I set my homework on my nightstand. I turned onto my side and held August in my arms, slowly rubbing two fingers down the bridge of her nose to make her sleepy.
After a few minutes, she started snoring quietly, and once I knew she was asleep, I closed my eyes as well.
~The next morning~
When my alarm went off, I silenced it as quickly as possible so that I didn't wake August up.
I slowly pulled my arm out from under her and started getting ready quietly.
"Mmmm" she groaned as she sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Morning" I smiled and picked her up.
"M' tired" she laid her head on my shoulder.
"You gotta go get ready for your fun friday, don't ya?" I poked her arm.
She instantly woke up fully. "Oh yeah!!"
I chuckled and set her down, and she immediately ran off to her room.
~I don't feel like writing anything else so time skip to lunch (also sorry if the rest of this is shitty cause that's how i feel😁)~
"C'mon it's 12" Betty said as she looked over my shoulder at me refreshing my phone every 5 seconds.
"Relax" I laugh. "It'll be out when it's out"
"I'm sure you'll make the team regardless, you probably did amazing last night, plus you've played before so you know what you're doing"
"I wouldn't be so confident about that, but thanks"
"It's up it's up check it!!"
"I am, jeez" I laughed before anxiously clicking on the list of players for this volleyball season.
I couldn't help but smile as I read my name on the list.
"I knew it" Betty smiled.
"Yeah yeah whatever"
(I feel like that was a really shitty and lazy way to end it but like i said-)
