The Female Kicker

In My Room

When I walked into my room I saw.....Bryan. He was looking around my room at all the pictures of my brothers and family in football gear and posters of football players. Then I slammed the door and he turned around instantly, jumping a little.

" I...I um was just..uh" he managed to stutter out.
"What are you doing in my room?!?" I half yelled, noting the people downstairs.
"Nothing, but hey what's with the pictures of football players, they look like your brothers, but uh whose the man?"
"Thats because they are my brothers and that man is my dad. But he died last year."
"Oh, sorry."
"Its okay. After my dad died, we found out my mom was pregnant. And did you see that baby downstairs?" He nodded.
"Well that's my new little brother, Dylan."
"Oh, that's why your mom kept sweet talking him and calling him her son."
" Yeah"
"So 6 brothers, how's it feel?"
"Annoying and exhausting, I'm just glad I have my own room well until you walked in here."
"So you made kicker..."
"Yeah, I did and my family's really proud of me, but then again I just happen to have football in my genes. My dad played in college until he buckled his knee. Then all my brothers either play or played football."
"Damn, girl"

I laughed and then went and sat on my bed. I  patted the spot next to me for Bryan to sit down. He came and sat down while then we talked.

"How about a game of 20 questions?" Bryan suggested.
"Sure."
"Okay uh...favorite color?"
"Green, what about you?"
"Yellow, hey look we make the Oregon Ducks." I chuckled.
"Cool."
"Alright, what's your middle name?"
"My middle name?"
"Yeah what is it"
"Uhh, fine it's Taylor. Yours?"
"Mason"
"Okay, favorite sport?"
"Football,duh.Yours?"
"Soccer, I've been playing it since I was 3"
"Cool, I've been playing football since I was 4."

We talked and talked until it was well after 10 p.m. and he had to go home. So, he lived like two streets away but still, he had to go home. Then I had to go to sleep. Kade, my cousin, who was at the party is now moving in with us because his mom an dad, my aunt and uncle just died in a bad car accident. It's like death has become contagious. So mom took him in.

The good thing is he has sisters. Score! The bad thing is that one is 12, and the other two are twin 14 year olds, who I now have to share a room with. Their names are Kayla and Ashley. Their 12 year old sister is sharing a room with Luke and they have a curtain dividing their room. Her name's Hailey.

Kade is sharing a room with Austin since they're both seniors. I awoken from my thoughts as Kayla and Ashley came in and got ready for bed. They were to sleep on the mattress on the floor for now. And with all that, we went to sleep.
