"When you said your last goodbye

I died a little bit inside

I lay in tears in bed all night

Alone without you by my side"

----------

I take a two minute shower—yes I know that's gross—and quickly change into a new outfit so I can be ready before Cole comes. Why did I even invite him?

Who knows. It's probably because I'm happy. Does that even happen when you get happy? Do you invite guys that you just met two days ago into your room?

Doesn't sound right to me.

My thoughts are interrupted by a set of knocks on my door.

Well Cole must of took a faster shower than me.

"Hi Cole-" I say expecting to see Cole, but instead I see my dad and he is dressed in nice clothes. Kind of like his church attire.

"Who's Cole?" He questions

"Cole?" I say and try to come up with a lie "I didn't say Cole...I said cold! Yeah I said cold. Like 'hey cold' because you know it's uh cold..."

"Yes, because it's cold in August" he says not believing me.

"You get what I mean" I say and then stand there quietly

"Luna why aren't you ready?" He asks anxiously

"For what...?" I ask clueless

"The press conference Luna!"

"Is that today?" I ask

This press conference is every year a couple days before the LLWS starts, and they ask my dad all kinds of questions about it. They ask me some questions too, so that's why my presence is requested there.

"Yes! Go change into nicer clothes and meet me in the front of this dorm" he says " and hurry! We have to be there and at the table in ten minutes"

Crap.

"Okay I'll be down in three!" I say in a hurry and shut my door.

I run to the small closet by my bathroom, and I open it to grab a dress.

I quickly strip out of my jean shorts and tee shirt, and switch them for a long sleeve flowy dress

I pair the white dress with cute brown sandals since I'm not big on heels.

Then I quickly braid my hair into two milkmaid braids, and pull a couple hairs out from the braids because I like the messy look.

[a/n: I'm getting way to into the details whoops]

I quickly turn off the lights, walk out of my room, and start walking down the hallway to get to the stairs.

As I'm rushing I run into someone.

"I'm so sorry I didn't see you" I start to say, but then I get a better look at the person I ran into "oh hi Cole"

"Are you going somewhere?" He asks. He has changed into grey sweats and a tee shirt that says Redland on it.

"Shoot! I forgot to tell you that I have this press conference about little league, and I have to go to it with my dad" I tell him

"Oh that explains why you are dressed up..."

"I'm sorry that we can't hang out. This conference completely left my mind" I say sincerely.

"It's fine. Have fun" he says, but I'm not totally convinced.
