Dad finally arrived home, I was at home for three hours by myself, I had already showered and decided to cook dinner, dad's favourite, Taco's. Dad always hates it when I'm home alone and when there's boy's around, he gets even worse. He called out making sure I was home, I yelled out from the kitchen.
"yeah Dad, I'm in the kitchen," soon enough he came in with that cheesy grin on his face. I gave him that look that makes him talk.
"Hey tweedy, so you know how you love me right?" I wasn't sure where this was going, I slowly nodded, still having the suspicious look on my face.
"Normally I wouldn't agree to this, but I need you to help the boys on the team get motivated. It's just for a little while, just every now and then when we have training."
"What is it?" I said turning away and getting the tomatoes out of the fridge.
"Well, I need you to be my exercise coach for them, you know like make them do laps, press ups and everything when I'm busy with other things. I know I have assistance coaches, but I just thought it would be a good idea. Seem as you don't have a lesson tomorrow." He gave me a cheeky grin.
"Fine, but you owe me." He seemed excited and happy, I hope tomorrow was going to go okay.
"Good, leave at 9:00am tomorrow I will already be there, just pop by my office and we will walk together and I'll tell the boys about the plan."
Later on Dad and I had dinner and watched an episode of our favourite TV show, before I decided to go to bed, it was nearing near 10 o'clock. I kissed dad on the cheek and ran upstairs and went to bed.

I woke up in the morning it was already 7am, I decided to get ready, and do my hair make up and get dressed. I had already eaten my granola and yoghurt, for breakfast. By the time I was done I grabbed a water bottle and a quick snack, and headed out the door and drove to the collage.
The drive to the school was alright, it wasn't different from yesterday, I was slightly nervous about today, will the guys judge me or treat me different cause I'm the coaches' daughter.
I pulled into the crowded school once again, getting more stares than yesterday, I grabbed all my things and went to turn to open the door, but it was already opened. I looked up and saw Tanner, again.
"Hey, miss coach, heard you will be with us again today, is that right?" he stared right at me, I wasn't going to complain he was hot, and something about him got me good.
"Yeah, dad let loose a bit and allowed me to get out of the house more." I walked out my car door, tanner closed it and I locked it, not before I said 'thanks.'
"Suppose that's good, what's with the outfit, I must say it looks nice, but it would be good to wear this, there are some strange guys at the school and your dad might not like the idea." He handed me his jacket, I put it on and agreed with him, when I had put it on it was kind of like a dress on me, but it covered more than I thought.
"Thanks, you didn't have to do it though, I think my dad would have a jumper or two on him."
"Yeah, true but what about when you walk up to your dad and when we walk to the field." I sent him a confused look.
"We?"
"We're both heading to the field aren't we, by the looks of it your look like you're going for another run." He was right, it did look like it.
After a few minutes' walk, with a lot more guys staring and awkward conversation with Tanner, we arrived, he had to go get ready and I had to see dad. Lot of the players were already warming up and were ready for practice, staring at me.
"Hey dad," I walked into his office at almost 9am.
"Hey pumpkin, almost on time, but what's with the different fashion sense?" I didn't want to lie to him.
"Just borrowed a jumper off a friend, that's all."
"What friend would that be, by the looks it would be a guy friend."
"It was Tanner, he was showing me around and I forgot mine at home."
After that we headed to the field, all the players were ready and were warming up, once they saw me, there mood changed. I looked over to Tanner and he was just smiling, Dad blew the whistle and they all came running over.
"Alright fellas listen up, my daughter April will lead training with you guys today, apart from the juniors, your stuck with me. You will listen to her otherwise I will hear about it, any other mischief and I will also hear about it. Keep your pants on and your minds focused." I instantly was embarrassed, I looked over at dad, while the other players were laughing. His tall framed looked down at me.
Moments later he walked away with the juniors, he left me with a whistle and a few assisting coaches. I instantly felt so tiny compared to these massive players, but I had to get the job done.
"Alright time for laps, everyone should do about 5 laps each, if you are behind me you have to do one more, once done burpees and press-ups, Got it?"
"YES MAAM!" they all shouted giving me a fright, soon enough they started. I jogged over to the bleachers and placed my things down, as well as taking off Tanner's jacket, I didn't want to get it sweaty or make me look terrible. The guys were looking at me as I started running.
After time, I passed a player every now and then, Tanner tried to start another conversation with me, but I threated him with another lap. It's not that I didn't want to talk with him it's just that I didn't want my dad to see, or make it unfair to the other players.
Once an hour had passed dad came back, he told all the boys to hit the showers, I think I did well with the workouts. A few of the boys had said they needed personal trainers and given me their number, for most of the guys I knew it was not true.
He asked me how it went and if there was any boys who were trouble, I didn't want them to hate me or for dad to hate them so I said no one. He didn't like my outfit idea and wanted me to change, I said I was going to head home anyway, he agreed and said he won't be not long behind. I grabbed all my things and headed back to my car, as I walked out to my car I heard someone calling my name. I turned around and saw tanner running towards me, I forgot to give him my jacket.
"Hey coach, great session, didn't know you had It in you." He grinned at me, he had a really nice smile.
"Thanks, you too," I smiled back.
"Hey, you want to go out for ice cream, my treat?"
"Sure, I'm doing nothing else at the moment." I thought about it, it would be a good way to make friends.
We hopped in my car, Tanner told me his truck is in the shop, I guess it was cliché that guys have trucks here. I hadn't been around this area of town much so he showed me the way. He was actually a really nice guy, he laughed at my jokes, and he opened the door for me.
We were currently sitting in the ice cream shop, turns out we both liked the same flavour, cookies and cream. We keep talking about life and jokes and stuff, turns out he has a little sister and owns a farm, with a lot of animals. He sounds so kind and he often goes on brother, sister dates to make their bond better. I often wish I had a older or younger sibling to do those things with.
