Naomi mason
I got home to see my brother jake on the phone talking to somebody. My dad was right next to him.
"Yes that would be great" he said sounding cheery then usual "alright see you then"
"Hey" I said as my dad and brother tuned and looked at me "what was that"
"Your brother just got offered a scholarship to a football training program ad most likely will get a spot on the scouting team the jaguars."
My brother dream after college was to be on one of those recruiting teams. It was suppose to help them get in the NFL or something. "That's great jake." I smiled
"It's is isn't it? I have to tell Chelsea!" He quickly ran up the stairs. Chelsea was his girlfriend
"At one person in this family is doing something right." My dad said not looking at me
"What is that suppose to mean?" I was getting angry
"Look jake listens to me, look were he is? Done college, offered a scholarship to this scouting team. He has everything he wants and then there is you. A disgraced to this family. I wouldn't be suppose if you didn't make it."
There it is. The usual lecture. My dad never talks to me. Not since he found out I played soccer. This feud has got into his head. "It's what mom wanted, and I'm sorry I disappointed you but mom saw potential in me when you didn't. She believed in me." Just talking about my mom made me want to cry.
My dad stared at me.
"Don't talk about your mother" he whispered
"What just because she's dead doesn't mean we can't talk about her!" I yelled
At that moment my brother came back down stairs
"What's going on?"
"Nothing just daddy daughter talks we never have" I ran up stairs went to my bed room and slammed my door. I layed on my bed crying. My dad should just stick to not talking to me anymore. Why can't he be like my brother an be okay with the fact that I play soccer? My phone was ringing. I picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Naomi! It's me amber. Are you ready?"
"For what?"
"Don't tell me you forgot about Craig's annual Friday night banger. You told me you would go"
Shit I forgot "amber I'm not really a party person."
" No backing out now! Come on you have to go!"
Just for her "fine."
"Great ill be there in ten!" She hung up and I fell back on my bed. Knowing should be getting ready. I don't. Not having the urge to. I put my hands to my face and got up from my bed.
I said to my self "try to have some fun tonight Naomi?"
