For the Life of Me

For the Life of Me (preveiw)

"I DIDN'T HAVE MY MOMENT!!! You know we used to be such good friends back in 5th grade!", Lulu pouted.

"Jade DID invite him to her party just for you, but you got scared", I replied matter-o-factly.

"Oh shut upppppppp", she whined. "I don't even have a bf. And then you come home rubbing your first freakin kiss in my face!! Ugh!! Sorry I have to stop doing that! I'm sorry, it's a habit", she blurted out.

"That's never happened before, I really don't think that's a habit Lulu!"

"Ugh! What-ever! I'm ttiiirreeeddd!"

"Then go to sleep and stop whining to me about your issues!!" I said.

"Okayyyy. Nighty night bubby", Lulu said then hang up the phone.

Oh the luxuries of my life.

-----------------------------------(random authors note: to my REAL friend Lulu, don't worry, u r nothing like that. Although u do show glimpses... Jkjk)

"Thank you, Coach", I say to Justin then walk of the field with Baley, Tara, Lil.

"Bye CJ! See ya tomorrow!", Baley yelled after me.

"Yep see ya guys!"

"By CJ!", Lil and Tara chorused together. Ugh! Another grueling soccer practice. At least I'm on the states team!

My mom has a fitness company to run, I'm pretty much on my own from 6:00am to 10:00pm. So I usually take the bus back from practice, or get a ride from one of my brothers. It is quite a long bus ride, 3 hours round trip! At least I always get some homework done!

By the time I approach the bus stop, the bus is rounding the corner. The bus drives up to where I am standing and and slowly slows down, the old brakes screeching. I walk on the bus hand the old, happy bus driver my ticket and nod my head.

I guess people don't really take me as friendly, surprisingly I'm really shy at first. I also stand at a towering 6 feet, and I'm only 15! It probably doesn't help that I weigh 150lbs (and no, it's not all fat. I'm surprisingly fit!), have insanely broad shoulders, have a surprisingly strong punch, and never smile at strangers.

As I make my way to the back of the bus, I spot a far millibar figure. Eric? I think it might be!

"Hey, Eric!"

"Oh hey CJ! Long time no see.", we both chuckle at his old humor.

"Umm... Do you have a sec to talk?", he asks.

"If you can fit it into 1 hour and 33 minutes, then yes", I say.
