Soccer Story.

Junior Year.

                       Gabrielle was 16, had black hair, black eyes, a curvy body, and a VERY low self esteem. Although she looked semi-decent to others she knew she as lurid to look at. She despised her body and the way she looked. She was a shy girl not many friends only this one boy she met back in third grade and didn't talk to him much till the second half of her sophomore year. Now shes about a month into her junior year holding back a secret she wishes she could reveal. Gabrielle, this shy quiet girl everyone used to make fun of, was one of the best soccer players at the school. Even the friend she made last January hasn't seen her really play, only her family members have. and from what they say, she must be talented.

       * GABRIELLE'S POINT OF VIEW*

    I slowly arise from my cradled up sleeping position and rub my eyes as I try to check the time clearly.  I jump up as I read the time, incorrectly of course, 6:30?!? meanwhile my eyes deceived me; henceforth i got up in a hurry, got dressed, then felt nauseous and it felt like everything around me was dwindling. I looked rather pallor and my parents gave me the option to stay home, since the weather was a bit unpredictable and I wasn't feeling well, I decided to lie back down,as i checked the time realizing it was only 5:30,and sleep for just a bit longer. I planned to stay home that day since I would then be well rested for the beginning of my six hour driving course. At around 6:35 I shot up and out of bed realizing that if I did in fact stay home i would be worrying about my after school driving class even more than i already was so I decided to get up and leave my house into the pouring rain to walk to a bus stop three streets over. My friend Leon was standing at the bus stop holding an umbrella, once he saw me he began walking to meet me half way. I explained to him why I was late and he didn't mind hes actually quiet understanding. I don't really speak to many people I tend to be indignant when it comes to socializing. People do come up to me to start conversations but I find ways to evade the situation calmly. The only reason I get along with Leon is because I felt a good vibe from him and I wanted to find out more and more about him; His stories never get tiring. So we both stood in the rain conversing waiting for the bus to arrive. As the cold wind cut through our skin like a fresh blade, we waited. The bus came, not soon enough, but it did indeed come. Leon and I sat in an empty three seater as we normally do right in the front of the bus. Sitting across from this acquaintance of ours named Shane. He was annoying, he's also afraid of me. Don't know why, I think I'm pretty innocent. The entire bus ride this morning was pretty quiet. It was a very chilly evening;Therefore I let Leon lay on me. Within 25 minutes we made it to school. Since I sat by the window Leon got out first. 

                    "Ladies first Leona." I had to say it, it was like a tradition at this point. He laughed and complained how it wasn't fair, so we got into a friendly dispute about whether it was fair for me to make that statement once he got off the bus or not. Moving forward, Leon and I went to our locker. We share a locker because his is bigger then mine and is closer to all my classes than mine is. Whatever. Every morning there's someone standing in front of our locker it's annoying.

 " I abhor that kid Shane." Leon muttered under his breath I wonder what his problem is but I just nod because  to be completely honest Shane's annoying. I don't hate him but I do strongly despise him. I think I strongly despise everyone Except Leon, Randy and a few others. Speaking of Randy I haven't seen him lately. We don't have any similar classes so I rarely see him now. Randy is like my older brother, I guess I could say I love him... He has a girlfriend named Minda, at least i think he does. Leon and I began walking me to art class and we passed Randy.

          " Hey Gabby wait, I need to tell you something.... Me and Minda broke up.." oh my lord my heart shattered. Him and Minda were the power couple... but she didn't treat him the way he should've been treated...So overall, I'm happy for him he's so strong. I just hugged him, hoping it would somewhat comfort him... I went to first period which was art, Leon went to Computer Science and the day slowly began.
