I woke up before my alarm today, I was just so exited for soccer tryouts that I almost fell when I tried to get out of bed. I jumped in the shower, got showered and left to my closet to find my schools goalkeeper jersey, my ripped black skinny jeans and my black leather jacket, then I began searching for my soccer cleats, gloves, shorts and socks, I put everything on my Nike bag and graved my black tennis shoes before heading down stair for breakfast.

20 minutes later I was driving to school with John, I didn't drive my car because I was going to stay for soccer and I didn't want to keep John waiting without going to grab something for lunch.

I arrived to school and headed to my locker, I grabbed my books for math, english and science. I was waiting for my friends at my locker when I heard someone singing, omg what a beautiful voice I thought, I need to know who was singing, so I began tracking the sound and before I could find it my friends decided to show up.

"What are you doing Ash? Did you lose something?

"No Tom, I was looking for you guys since you didn't show up at my locker" why did I lied? I asked myself.

"Uhuh sure, whatever you say Ash, are you ready for this afternoon?"

"Never been more ready Jules, I can't believe we're seniors and we're finally able to compete in the tournament"

"I know! I couldn't even sleep last night, are you coming to our games Tom?" Asked Jules

"You know I can't miss yours and Ash's games, unless I have a race that I can't postpone, then I'm cheering on you guys"

The bell rang, so we headed to our first to periods together, first math, then english. We arrived to the classroom and headed to our seats at the back, math was almost over when Tom whispered to me.

"Everything's fine Ash? You're really distracted today, and with soccer you can't afford to be like this"

"I'm fine, I'm just thinking about soccer and if my parents will be able to attend my games when they come back" lied again, what is wrong with me, why can't I tell my friends about the voice I heard when I was waiting for them, Am I jealous of someone being better than me at singing and taking away from me the spotlight I have in music? I don't know, I don't think so, I know I'm overreacting so for now I'm just going to pretend I didn't hear anything.

The day went by slowly, a few girls came to me at lunch and asked if I was going to sing at the homecoming party and if I wanted a date, I said yes to the first one and no to the date thing, I don't do dates, everyone knows that and because of them I had a flashback of when I was really happy and I thought I had a perfect life before everything went to hell...

Flashback

I was 15 and my family and I had to attend my cousins party, I dressed a little formal, with black skinny pants, a white button up blouse, a black tie, black dress shoes without socks, my black hat and of course my sunglasses. My parents didn't care how I dressed unless I was wearing something inappropriate or if I showed a lot, they knew I was gay because I told them and at first they didn't accept it but a month later they came to their senses and said that it was alright.

We arrived at the party and headed to the back of the house where the party was being held. After giving my cousins his present and talking to him and other people I make my way inside to go to the bathroom, since the bathroom down stairs was full and a lot of people were lined up to go I decided to go upstairs.

When I finished doing my business and washed my hands, I left the bathroom and started heading down stairs I stopped at the last step cuz I saw the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, she was 5"5 with dark blond hair, green eyes and a great figure. She saw me looking at her and she just gave me the most breathtaking smile I could imagined, and then she left to say hi to everyone. I wanted to go and meet her, I wanted to know who she was and I made it my goal to do it before the party was over.
