"THIS USED TO BE A FUN HOUSE. BUT NOW ITS FULL WITH EVIL CLOWNS. ITS TIME TO START THE COUNTDOWN, IM GONNA BURN IT DOWN DOWN DOWN, IM GONNA BURN IT DOWN, 9..8..7..6..5.." my ring tone blared through my phones speakers. I groaned and rolled over. I reached my hand out and fumbled around til i found my phone. My fingers gripped the hard case of it as P!nk said 1. I squinted my eyes against the bright screen and answered groggily.
"What the crap do you want Haley?" I grumbled and rubbed my eyes. I heard her loud laghter and smiled. Her happiness was contagious even though she hasnt talked yet.
"Well its time to get up!" She said loudly. I sighed.
Its only," I pulled the phone away from my ear and glanced at the time,"9:15," i said. I heard her sigh.
"Get dressed and meet me at my house in 15. Dress for sweat, we gonna work out," she said. I could hear her grin.
"Uggh, why?" I groaned.
"Because i said so. If you dont then ill come down to your house and pour cold water on you. 15 minutes," she said and hung up. I sighed and threw my dark blue covers off my body. I streched and walked into my bathroom,connected to my bedroom, and turned unlocked my phone. I scrolled through my music til i found a good song. The Show Goes On by Lupe Fiasco. I hummed along and ran a brush through my crazy, bed-head hair. Then I splashed water on my face and walked to my closet, throwing my phone on the bed as a new song came on. Don't Stop Believing by Journey came on. I sang to it as i pulled on a pair of black gym shorts and a blue tanktop. I threw my hair ino a messy ponytail and threw on my cleats. I walked to the kitchen and texted my mom since she was at work.
Goin to Haleys, c ya later -T
I grabbed a water and petted my dog, Toby. He followed me to the door and i left. I glnced at my phone and saw i had 2 minutes. I broke into a jog and succsefully made it there on time. I walked up to her big 2 story house. I knocked on the oak door and waited. The door opened and Haley stood there. She was shorter than me, with dark unrurly hair that when halfway down her back. She had dark brown eyes. She smiled and ushered me inside. I noticed she was wearing skinny jeans and a white shirt that said "POTATOES" in big brown letter acoss the front.
"I thought sweat clothes?" i asked. She grinned and led me through the living room and kitchen to the back patio. She had a huge back yard...like football field size, maybe alittle smaller. There wa a huge pool close to the patio. She opened the door and we walked onto the patio i had walked on many time before. I looked around and saw that all our friends were here.
"What is this?" i asked. She grinned bigger.
"I figured since you wont do football then we can just all hang out here," She said. Igrinned.
"Whos all here?" I asked.
"Alexys, Jolie,Mason, Brett, Jason, Bacon, Adrain, Ethan,Ransom, Ellie,Lucy and thats all. Not everyone could come," she said.I grinned and looked at everyon. Ransom and Ethan noticed me first. They walked over with big smiles. Ransom was about as tall as me with LIGHT blonde hair ad bright blue eyes. He was really skinny and he played football,which means he was trying out later on today.Ethan was a big, tall guy with blonde hair and blue eyes too. He reminds me of a gaint baby. He also layed footall.
"Hey guys," i said and smiled. Ransom wore jeans and a red shirt, Ethan wore cargo shorts an a geen shirt.
"Hey Tara, its about time you showed. Me and Ransom want to play some football but we were waiting for you," Ethan said. I rolled my eyes and grinned.
"Lets go," i said. Haley smiled and walked inside to get sme food and drinks, while me,Ransom, and Ethan walked over to Alexys and Jason, who were talking.
"Taras here!!"Ransom exclaimed. Alexys smiled and Jason grinned.
"Finally! I wanna play some fooball!"Jason exclaimed.
"So 2 on 2?" I asked. They nodded
"Im keeping score," Alexys said and grinned. We all filed out a everone else who was there stoon on the side to wach. After some arguing, Ransom was paired with me, much to Ethans and Jasons disaointment. Alexys tossed the ball to Jason and the game began. Jason threw the ball to Ethan and he tried to make a touchdown but Ransom blocked him. Ethan thew the ball to Jason but I caught it. I ran down the yard and made the touchdown, thanks to Ransom. 1 point for Tara; 0 for Ethan.
1 hour later, we were 21 for my team and 14 for Ethans. I was covered in sweat and panting as we gave the ball to Alexys and sat on some chairs by the pool.
"Good game," I said. We joked about he game and som people came over to talk then left, We sat there for a god 30 minutes and only me, Ransom,Ethan,Jason, Alexys and Haley. We all sat together til Jason stood.
"We need to go, tryouts start soon," He said. We all stood and Ransom looked at me.
"You trying out?" he asked. I shook my head.
"Tara you have too! Well lose if you dont! You could become a legend at our school if you joined! We have never beat them before and you could help us win!!Please Tara!" Ethan begged. I shook my head even though they were right. But im female and everyoe will make fun of me.
"Will you at leas come to tryouts and watch?" Jason asked. I sighed and nodded. They cheered and we all went through the house ,out the front door and stood in the driveway. I looked a Ethans Jeep. Ethan, Ransom and Jason were all 16, Ethan had a car, and Ransom and Jason were saving for one. We walkd up to it and looked aroun at all 6 of us.
"Is everyone going?" I asked.
"Duh," Jason said before climbing in the back seat. Ransom sat passenger as Ethan got in the driver seat. Me, Haley and Alexys looked a eachother. One of us woud have to sit on someones lap. Alexys grinned and quickly sat beside Jason so it wasnt her. Haley sat beside her, which mde me sit on someones lap. I grumbled and sat on Ransom lap since there would be more room up there.
We drove to the feild and got out. We all walked ono the field and the coach glanced at us. Me and the girls sat in the bleachers while the boys tried out. Alexs excused her self after practice and walked down to the coach. Jason walked over to them and they boh talked to the coah. She pulled her phone out and showed him something for a few minutes. The coach smiled and nodded. Jason and Alexys high-fived and they came up to us with Ransom and Ethan behind them.
"What was that about?" I asked.
"Nothing," Alexys grinned. I shrugged and we walked out to the Jeep. I had to sit on Ransom again. They dropped me off then left. I unlocked my door, fed Toby and walked to my bathroom. After takin a long shower I stepped out and pulled on sweats and a oversized T shirt. I texted my friends for awhile and watched Freinds reruns. Then I got tired and went to bed around 8.
