I'm excited to be home but also nervous. Field hockey starts, Charlotte is back but i also have to see Kieryan again. If i think about him, i may not cry anymore but i do get sad and it shows. That's fine, it's normal and i understand that. It's still going to be difficult, but I'm determined to show him that I can do just fine on my own.
Field hockey starts at 7 am, first thing in the morning every morning for the last two weeks of summer. We play for two hours then we're done for the day. These two weeks are vital because we're getting back in shape and being placed on seperate teams, JV and Varcity. I'm praying to be on JV again this year. I know as a Junior i should be wishing for Varcity, but I like JV and hope for a spot on that team. After practice Charlotte has agreed to go to lunch with me. Giving me enough time to get home and shower before she comes over.
Our favorite place to eat is a burger place in town, Five Guys. We each get a burger and go back to my house. When Charlotte comes over she brings her dogs, she has three. I got Axle from her, and the dogs she brings are his brothers and sister. I was there then the dogs were only a day old, i've seen them grow and two get adopted. I choose Axle when he was first born, he ande I had an instant bond. Even though my mom was againist getting a dog at the time, as time wore on she agreed to get Axle. Throughout that time I helped raise the dogs, from walking and feeding to waking up in the night to take them outside. These dogs are extended family in my mind and I'll always welcome them.
While we eat, the dogs play outside. Chorlotte's and my favorite activy to do while we eat is watch T.V. Well, really we listen to it while we talk, even with our mouths full of food. We get out everything and feel so much better after. it's become a tradition to do this on short days, school cancelations and during the summer. We got started with it when we couldn't agree on what to eat since we like different things.
"Well, Nikki what are you in the mood for?"
""You know i don't care."
"Well if i pick it's chinese food and you dont like that,"
"But if i pick its Taco Bell and you don't like that."
"When i say lunch, whats the first thing you think of?"
"Burgers?"
"Oh, i know a great place for burgers! We'll go there!" She quickkly drove to Five Guys, starting a tradition.
