An innocent love story

Soccer

I had no interest in playing soccer, even though it is my favorite sport. I just didn't feel good after Joshua left in such fast rush. I kept daydreaming about me going away from everyone and living in a cabin in the mountains. I sat on the sidelines and watch people run up and down the field.

Miki was the all star on the team I was supposed to be on. Emily was the out caster on the other team and was standing around watching Miki score the ball for my team.

"Hey Nicole catch!" and a ball started flying towards my face.

"Hey not cool!" I say as I catch the ball.

It was my best friend I have had since 2nd grade we have been joined by the waist. My parents tell me that I never left his side. His name was Xavier; he has brown hair and brown eyes.

He was a nerd like me but a jockey nerd, he could play sports and be active, he is always moving but enjoys videogames just as much. He is my type but I don't want to date him, everyone since 6th grade has been telling me to date him and teasing me for it so I didn't want to date him at all. He is more like a brother to me but

"Why aren't you playing soccer isn't that your favorite sport?" He questioned as he sat down next to me. His stinky body filling up my nostrils; making it hard to breath. I scoot a little bit away from him.

"I don't feel to well. I have been recently the past few days and I don't know why. I love soccer but I don't feel like I have the motivation to play today my mind is wandering." I respond

"I know that feeling, of having your mind wandering."

"What do you mean?" I ask

"Well I kind of have a crush on one of your friends for a while now but I don't know how to tell her how I feel."

"Who Emily?" I ask and he starts blushing and then replies with a stern "NO"

"You should just come out and tell her and stop hiding your feelings from her."

"Eh its okay I would rather just day dream in peace and keep my feelings locked away."

"Okay, but I'm telling you she might have a crush on you too."

"Let's change the subject. So how are you and Josh?"

This is what I was afraid of. I should have known he was going to ask about my love life. I was thinking to myself as I said

" Great actually. I love him and he loves me, so that's all that should matter."

"Is that why you have that on your neck?" he said as he pointed to my neck.

I grab my hoodie and pull it up over my "bruise" and then say

"I slipped and fell I was vacuuming the air duct I had and it fell out of my hands and sat there for a while and then gave me this."

"Oh like that's believable but whatever. It's none of my business, I'm going to go play now take care."

"Bye Xavier have fun." I yelled back at him.

I continue to sit there daydreaming. I pull the sweatshirt over my face tuck my les in under my body pull my arms into the sweatshirt and end up passing out.

I had an odd dream I dreamt about peace and happiness. Everyone was happy in my dream Xavier had Emily and I had Josh and Miki had a puppy and she loved that puppy for dear life. She always stated 'That puppy is love itself.'

The school bell ringing awaked me. The end of 4th period; time to get up. I pushed my legs out from me and stood up. I put my head through the top of my hoodie and saw that Emily was there but Miki wasn't.

"Where is Miki?" I asked Emily

"She said she wanted to go to the locker room before us so she can take care of her 'feminine' issues." Emily replied

"That's okay everyone has there time of the month, hey do u want to go to the locker room with me?" I asked

"Sure lets walk together slowly."

"Okay" I extended my arm and she grabbed onto it and we walked out of the Phy Ed room and towards the locker room.
