What I wished was true

10-nice to meet you!

I've had my boot off for a week now. It feels so good! I made it just in time for basketball too!

Cauy took me to Cavender's and got me blue and brown boots!!

I was wearing them on Monday to school in my basketball shirt and blue jeans with 2 French braids (Basketball tradition) when a guy walked up to me.

"Hi, I'm Carter I'm new here and I was wondering if you could show me around?" Carter had perfect brown hair and the darkest blue eyes that you could imagine. He had a fit, athletic body too.

"Y-ya sure, I'm Embry, by the way. It's nice to meet you!" I shiver.

"Are you cold? Here have my jacket," Carter says taking his North Face jacket off.

Cauy was sick today so I knew I would be off the case for this but no more. He's just a friend.

I show Carter around because he had the same schedule as me except for math and biology.

"What instrument do you play in Marching Band?" Carter asks me as we are getting our stuff from our lockers.

"Trombone, first chair. What about you?"

"Baritone," He says back.

"Cool! I sit next to them!" I say with excitement.

"Lit! Well I've got to go to algebra 1 I'll see you later," he says while taking his phone from his jacket that I'm still wearing.

"Bye!" I say and walk to Biology. 'Why do I feel so guilty?!' I ask myself.

I walk into class and see that its testing day. I grab my paper and go to my desk and rush trough it. I've been A+ing all high school so I knew everything.( plus I wanted to be a doctor) I grab my phone and put it in my book and text Cauy.

Me: hey! I miss you already!

I wait a couple minutes before he replies.

Cauy: I miss you to! What's happened today?

Me: a new kid came, named Carter I think. He's pretty cool I think y'all would be friends.

(Of course I knew his name it was on his jacket)

Cauy: Oh, ok... what's he like? What instrument does he play?

Me: he's super nice,he has blue eyes and brown hair. He plays baseball and football. He played Baritone.

Cauy: ok I've gtg ttyl

Me: K

I turn my phone off and the bell rings. I head to Algebra 2.

I sit down and then before I know it the bell rings for 3rd period.

I walk into Reading and sit down, opening my book. Someone takes a seat in the empty seat next to me but I don't care.

I zone out the entire time until I hear the lunch bell.

I decide that I'm not hungry so I grab my earbuds and sit against the Building.

About 5 minutes later I hear footsteps walking towards me.
"Hey," Kameron says to me. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," I reply

"I'm not stupid," he says giving me the big brother look.

"Really, I'm fine."

"The new kid has been checking you out all day Embry," Kameron says in an annoyed tone.

"Ya... I know."

"Think about what you're gonna do." He says before walking off.

«basketball game»

It's the start of the game and I walk to the middle of the court getting ready to tip the ball.
Coach Pennington blows his whistle and throws the ball in the air.

I hit it to Naómi.

"Att'a girl!" Coach Scott yells at me.

We're on offense and Mari has the ball at the three point line.

"DO FLEX!" Coach yells at us.

Mari dribbles slowly to her right and I know it's my cue to go to the elbow. She throws the ball to me and I wait for Mari and Faith to screen Naòmi and I pass it to her when she comes up to the elbow on the opposite side of me.

We take shifts through this play and when it comes back to me I step back and make a three-pointer.

The game goes by and we win: 37-12. 25 points. Not too bad.

We all head home and coach stops me when I step out of the locker room.

"Hey, I saw you struggling out there...I didn't like what I saw either. You're a good player kid, you really are. You just have a lot going up in here," he taps on my head ," and not enough in here," he points to my heart.
"I expect you to be in better shape next week." Coach Scott says smiling at me.

"Thank you I will!" I say as he fixes his hat on his gray haired head and I walk out.
