Friday Night Lights

Friday Morning

Living in a small town like Neville  isn't that bad. Even if it is a tiny town with population less than 3,000 people is still not bad. Is a town next to a huge lake and less than 100 kilometres from the nearest sea.But who needs a beach when you have a lake under your feet? Personally I don't. Even if I live in a small town of Texas I get exactly what I need here.For people like me the place where everything happens is West Neville, -my  High School-but we have one more the East Neville and the both sides are like rivals.Always the town has like the ritual that you can not be friend with someone from the other side or you can not go to a party on the other side.Stupid things.Anyway my family and I moved in Neville two years ago when my dad started to coach the West Neville or Lions.At the beginning I was really hated.Because Texas doesn't have absolutely nothing with California- where I am originally from. At the beginning I had a really hard time to get used to this town, the people ,the weather everything.For me,was harder but I know my brother Adam loved the town at first glance.I have to to admit it know I feel like Neville is more home that any other place on earth. Guaranteed.

And now here we are, me, Hailey Collier or the Coach's daughter living in a small town of Texas trying to figure out my life.I guess everyone tries to figure out so it's ok.

Today is Friday and is the casual Friday where I will go school in the morning after I will come home and after back school. Not for lessons of course, but this small town host the state football champions  since last year.So it is normal the  whole town to pay a huge amount of interest on the team. Now it is like a tradition in the town every Friday night at 7 pm everyone has to be at the school's field. This Friday they are playing  with a team from Miami and the town is expected to be overcrowded.

When I was younger I remember only my dad and my brother-Adam were going on the town's games but that changed three years ago when Adam joined the football team. So since then my mom and I, we are kind of huge supporters of the team. Awkward, I know but is about my brother and he is really good football player so now and the females of the Collier family are in the spirit of the game as well.And also my dad is the coach, coach Cole so we are football family for sure.

Leaving the game behind for a while, basically till 7 pm I will focus on my classes and maybe after I will spend my time hopefully with my bestfriend-Lauren. Those are my plans for today I guess.Nothing so special.

Looking around my room is such a mess, because now is getting colder in Neville so me and my mom were getting the winter's clothes out from the garage, and they are all laying on my floor. I was too tired yesterday so I just left them there till I would be back home from school today.

I stretched my legs quickly and went out of the bed. It was a great morning with a clear sky and a warm sunshine. It will be a warm day for sure until probably November after the weather is getting much colder.Our garden was full of colourful flowers, my mom was loving to plant all kind of flowers. So from my window I can have a view of more than twenty kind of flowers,mom did a great job.I am lucky now to have every morning a such a great view. I remember when we were living in California the only thing that I could see was sea but know I'm living so close to the nature and that makes me extremely grateful.

I picked up fast a baby pink tank top and a pair of black trousers with some white converses and a caught my hair in a ponytail. Quiet simple outfit I know but I don't find ever the interest on spending hours in front of my wardrobe and picking up outfits-it's just not me. Of course at my school we have plenty of that kind of girls like Trina, Victoria ,Amber and so on but I am not like them.Never. Anyways I brushed my teeth ,put some mascara, took my bag and I am ready to go. Oh no, I forgot breakfast first.

The kitchen down was smelling so good.My mom was already doing some pancakes- Friday is always pancakes' day right?
My dad wasn't home he went to school already probably preparing the plans for the tonight's game.Being state champions is hard but to remain state champions for two years in the row is even more harder. Adam was still at the shower.At least I have my own bathroom on my room otherwise I would be always late because of Adam every day.
