"so today we're trying soccer because i found my basketball players already, so where's my soccer players - huh?" mr tahiti asks, looking around his crowd of sluggish students. "alright then. let's go to the field and i'll explain the rules."
they divide into teams on both ends of the field and watch as mr. tahiti demonstrates how to kick a soccer ball properly. three students try and fail at this technique; then it's drew's turn. drew walks up to the starting point then jogs up to the ball and hits it across the field with the inside of his right foot. "wow andrew, i'm impressed. good job. next,"
he continues to demonstrate and watch the students try the techniques until he decides drew and five other students are the soccer players. "soccer prodigies, gather at the goal as i tell what these slackers to do."
drew walks to the goal and sits on the grass. he runs his fingers across the evenly cut grass leaves and sends several small flies up around him, making him giggle softly. a girl sits across from him and smiles at him. the two smile at each other and pick the small white flowers in the grass around them.
"your name's andrew - right?" the girl asks, carefully tying two flowers together. "yes. but you can call me drew. what's your name?" drew asks as he tries to do the same. "my names suzy." drew nods and smiles, "nice to meet you, suzy." suzy smiles back, "you too drew." suzy has long blonde hair and dark brown eyes. her skin is darker than abby's - and most all blondes he's seen. they both hold up their stings of flowers and examine each other's.
"alright folks, let's do some soccer training!"
