~Skyler~

Here I am, running as fast as I can, cursing myself for sleeping in. Today was the day of the major game as I'm going to be late. I'm going to be in so much trouble.

A little less than an hour later I arrived at the baseball field. My teammates walk passed me, some giving me a death glare, some choosing to not acknowledge my existence.

"Nice job you idiot, we had to forfeit the match thanks to us missing a player. You screwed us." one of my teammates, Missy aka the head bitch of this team, says behind me in a venom-filled voice. I choose to just flip her off and started walking, hearing a disgusted scoff behind me.

Not really paying attention to where I'm walking I bump into the coach. He looks down at me disappointed

"Where were you Skyler, we lost the game because of your absence" I look up at him through my lashes

"I'm sorry sir... I slept in... my little sister kept me up all night and couldn't get much ..." He stops me from finishing my sentence.

"THAT DOES NOT EXCUSE YOU!" He looks at me with angry before calming himself.

"Because of you, we lost, so I have no other choice but to cut you from the team. You may try out again next year, and hopefully, by then you will have learned the importance of showing up on time."

He turns around and walks away. I just stand there in shock. I got kicked off the team, what is my dad going to think, what am I going to do.

Before I can continue having my panic attack I feel arms wrap around me. "It's ok, calm down, we can't have you passing out again." My best friend in the world, Jasmine, says to me calmly. She has been there for me since elementary school, and here we are in high school, still friends.

"But Jas, what am I going to do now. The team was all I had." she pulls a fake look of hurt and slaps my arm.

"That's not true and you know it, that's just the shock talking, you still have me." She says pulling me into another hug. That's what I love about jasmine, she always knew what to say to snap me out of it.

She knew me more than even my own parents did, which wasn't surprising since my father didn't seem care as long as I got good grades and did well at the game... which was now over, and my mom wasn't home all that much. All I had now was my C average grades and that won't carry me very far in my father's eyes.

Jasmine sees the look on my face and pokes my belly to get my attention. "I said calm down, worrying will only make things worse and we don't need you having a panic attack and passing out right now, that would only make your dad even more disappointed in you." She says with seriousness in her voice.

"Now, we have a ton of things to do today now that the game is over. We have to go shopping, meet up with Rose and then hang out at the park for some ice cream. That should distract you from this bad morning." She says will a little to much joy for my liking.

Going shopping never made me happy, it was always boring, even more so with her, she was always dragging me into victoria's secret so she can try stuff on and get my opinion, she always said that she needed something new to show her girlfriend Rose, but she rarely ever bought anything, she just wanted to mess with me.

Seeing her in those stupid outfits always made me feel a bit jealous, she had a nice body, double D chest, nice curves. Everybody always wanted her despite the fact she has been with Rose for four going on five years now. I was the average tomboy, the exact opposite from Jasmine.

"Let's get going. The mall should be opening about now. I don't want there to be tons of people there, I don't want to be waiting in line to try on stuff." I knew it, she was going to drag me in there again. I had to get out of this, but how.

She grabs my arm and starts pulling me to her car. "Come on, we have to get there quick." She practically whines and pushes me into the passenger seat of the car. She climbs in and starts driving to the mall. I start panicking again, this time she doesn't notice. I have to think of a plan, I can't see her in another one of those outfits, it's so embarrassing. She pulls out her phone and calls rose.

"Hey honey bear, could you meet me and Sky at the mall in about an hour... yeah...ok...see you there, bye baby." She hangs up, I almost gag at how cutesy they were together, now I definitely had to get out of here.

We soon got to the mall. She opens up my door and literally drags me out of the car, me landing on my butt in the parking lot. "Look, I know you don't like coming to the mall but the least you can do is suck it up, I go to all your games."

That is true, despite the fact that she hates sports, she still showed up to all of my games, cheering me on. But making me see my best friend in skimpy clothing meant for people to have sex in, was not a fair trade.

"Let's go, Rose will be here soon, I want to buy something special for her before she gets here." She says making me stand up and grab my arm to make me follow her.

When we walk through the door we see that, despite us getting there right after the doors opened, it's still really crowded. What is with these people, did they wait outside the door for it to open?

"Damn, thought we would make it in time. Let's hope there isn't a line." She says grabbing my arm again and runs me over to her favorite store.

Like she feared there was a line, not a long one but a line none the less. We waited for a good 30 minutes before she finally got the key to the changing room. She grabs about 5 different items.

"Now wait here, this shouldn't take to long. I bet I'll look super sexy in this" She walks into the changing room. I wait a minute so I know she would have to get dressed to follow me and then I book it, running as fast as I could out of the store.

I keep running till I'm out of the mall and running down the street. I know what I did was mean, but I could not handle seeing that again, it's way too embarrassing. I keep running, not wanting her to have a chance of dragging me back there even with her car.

I'm not looking where I'm going and end up crashing into somebody, both of us falling to the ground, out lips crashing into each other.
