It was finally time for soccer practice. I was the only girl on the team. I enjoyed it, because I got to do it with my best and only friend, Garfield Logan. I quickly run to the girls locker room and change into my soccer gear. I tie my shoulder length purple hair into a high pony tail and jog out to the field where Garfield is waiting for me. " Hey Rach." He says. " Hey Gar." I say, sitting my bag and water bottle on the bench. " Wanna come to my place after practice?" He asks. " Yeah." I say. " Cool." He replies with a smile. Coach Sherman blows his whistle. " Line up for warm ups." He shouts. Garfield and I stand in line and we begin our warm ups. After warm ups were over, we began our drills. " Rachel I want you being goalie for our kicking drills." Coach says. " Yes coach." I shout, jogging to the goal. The other guys get in line with their soccer balls. They begin sprinting towards me while kicking the balls. I block all of them. Then one guy named James, who I absolutely hated, came up. He kicked the ball straight towards me. Before I could catch it, it hit me in the head. I gasp and fall to the ground. My vision going in and out. I hear coach blow his whistle. " James my office now." He says. He, Garfield, and the rest of the team run towards me  Coach and Garfield help me up. " Ow. My head." I say, as they sit me on the bench. Gar hands me an ice pack while coach runs for a nurse. A few minuets later, coach comes out with nurse Jackie. She looks me over and then says the dreaded words that no sports player likes to hear. " Concussion. She has a concussion. She can't play the next game." She says. Coach nods. He walks towards his office with a scowl on his face. A few seconds later, he comes back. He has james by the arm. " Apologize to her right now." Coach says. " I'm sorry Rachel." He says, clearly annoyed. I nod. " Garfield. Get her home." Coach says. Gar nods, picks me up bridal style, and carries me to his car. My bag and his bag hang from his shoulder. He sets me in his car and helps me buckle up. He grabs my phone and dials my mom. " Hi Mrs. Roth it's Garfield." He says. A short pause was heard. " Rachel got a concussion. I'm bringing her back home and taking care of her." He says. Another pause. " No problem Mrs. Logan. Bye." He says, then hangs up. He sits my phone in the cup holder and starts the 5 minuet drive to my house. He pulls into my driveway and helps me out. He grabs our bags and helps me into the house. He lays me on the couch and grabs some ice for my head. He places the ice on my head and sits beside me. He then does something I do not expect. He kisses me. I melt into the kiss with no hesitation. " that was nice." He says. I blush. " Yeah. It was." I say. We sit there in comfy silence until I say, " Gar. Come cuddle with me." His eyes widen and a small blush forms on his face. He nods and lays down behind me. Eventually, we fall asleep on the couch.
