Walking out of the locker room I realize I'm the first girl done. How did that manage to happen?

Anyways, I walk out to see the guys soccer team playing lax. Or at least attempting too I might add. Actually watching them, I'm not quite sure what they are doing.

It sort of looks like lax mixed with tag mixed with wrestling. I am highly confused at the moment, I'm not sure what to think.

I take out my camera and start taking pictures of them without them noticing. One thing you should know about me is that I Love photography. It's my happy place. It's where I go to get away. So yes I do carry my camera around with me at all times because you never know what you might see.

Snapping a few pictures of all the boys, Cami walks out and thought it would be funny to sneak up beind me.

"Boo!"

"God Cams what the hell was that for!?"

"Why are you taking pictures of them? By the way what the hell are they doing?!"

"I like photography and I've been asking myself them same question."

We talk for a couple more minutes and I snap a few more pictures. We decide to round the boys up and go eat.

Cam thought it would be nice to invite our team, ya know to "bond" and such. Don't get me wrong, after one practice I love the girls. I'm just not a fan of all of them.

"So where are we going?" Some kid on Devins team that I do not know the name of yet said.

"Not sure. And you are?" I ask oh so politely.  

"Oh shit. Okay everyone stop. Introductions. Lax girls these are thw soccer boys. Jake, Cams twin, Ryan, James, Greg, Nick, Liam, Tyler, Sam, Todd, Jeff, David, Luke, and I'm Devin, aka Cece's bestfriend. Boys meet the lax girls." Devin introduces them all and then motions for me to do the same. Oh so Mr. Handsomes name is Liam.

"Alright this here is Cami and as Devin said she's Jakes twin. Next to Cami is Ryann, Bella, Rachel, Leah, Ashley, Rickie, Sophia, Gracie, Ariana, and then the twins Ryli and Kyli. And if you already haven't figured it out I'm this losers bestfriend, aka Cece."

"Alright now that that's done, shall we get this show on the road? I'm starving!" Cami says leading the way to the parking lot.

We all split up into 4 different cars. Devin, Jake, Cami, Ryann, and I all pile into Liams truck. He offered us 5 a ride. It seems like he, Devin, and Jake have become close.

"Shot gun!!" Devin and I both yell at the same time. I give him a glare. Liam must have noticed because he said there were two front seats. Liam obviously driving, me in the middle, and Devin at the window, leaving the other three stuck in the back.

"Dude your truck smells weird!" Wow Jake way to be rude.

"Yeah sorry guys, I live on a farm." Ohh a farm boy. I'm liking this kid more and more. Just then we pull into the parking lot. We walk inside to see everyone spread out at different tables. Devin, Jake, Cami and Ryann choose a table and call us over.

"So Liam. Tell me about your farm." I say turning towards him.

He smiles. "Well what would you like to know?"

"Well what kind of farm is it? Fruit, vegetables, livestock, hay, dairy."

"Uh it's fruit and dairy. But we also raise horses for plowing. My grandpa is a traditional man. So my father still plows the fields closest to the house using the horses. While he does that, my brothers and I are out in the other fields plowing with the tractors."

"How much land do you have?" I say asking him.

"60 acres of hay and about 80 acres of fruit. We aren't a huge farm like those that surround us but we get by and plus only family works on our farm, so thats another reason why it's small." Listening to him talk about his farm makes me miss home. Devin must have noticed because he texted me.

From D: I know that look. What's wrong? :/

To D: Just listening to him talk about his farm and family makes me miss home.

From D: Well why don't you tell him about your farm, Maybe it'll cheer you up by talking about it :)

To D: He doesn't want to hear about that.

"So Liam, did you know Cece also lives on a farm?" Oh he is gonna get it.

"Really?" Liam says turning towards me, "So you're a farmers girls eh?" I am going to kill Devin.

"Guilty! Yes I am indeed a farmers daughter. Well no actually that's wrong. I'm a farmers neice."

"A farmers neice?" Okay he's cute, but he's not smart.

"Yupp! I have two uncles who own farms. But I sorta live on just one of those farms. You see when you look at my house, my back lawn consists of all apple trees. My one uncle, also our neighbor, owns that farm. My other uncles farm is in the next town over. And I also have a cousin who has his own farm too." While explaining this to him I watch his face to see if this all makes sense and ding ding ding it does!

Liam, "Are they all apple farms?"

"Mmhmm! All sorts of apples."

Liam, "What kinds of apples does your family grow?"

"We have your basic 20 ounce. Then there's Empires, Honeycrisp, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Cortlands, McIntosh, Crispin, and oh there's one more but I always forget this one." I say looking at Devin for assistance.

Devin, "Paula Reds."

"Ah yes the Paula Reds. I don't know why I always forget those ones. Poor Paulas."

Liam, "Wow what a big variety! You sound like you really know your apples."

"Not only does she know her apples but ask her anything about farming and she'll tell you. By no means am I a farmer or know much about farming, but this girl here can tell you anything you need to know about the subject." Devin says. He must have a death wish.  And right now all eyes at the table are on me. Great.

I kick Devin under the table, hard. "OW!" "Oops sorry didn't know your leg was there."
