Big Changes, Big Differences

Hanging Out

So, school is over for the day and my detention is ending in 2 minutes. Mr. Kingston decided to leave us with Coach Finly. The soccer Coach.

Coach decided that as punishment, we should be doing exsercise. I was really not in the mood for this.

But once we started, it got really fun. For me at least. I like exsercise for some odd reason. But other people hate it.

Both Haylee and Alex joined Matt and I for detention. When Coach told us what our exsercise was, Haylee almost fainted and the guys just shrugged.

We had to do 10 laps around the field, 100 sit ups, 50 push ups and a 60 second wall sit. We had one hour to do all of that and I'm already done.

Alex is busy with the sit ups, Matt is busy with the push ups and Haylee is still walking around the field.

"Alright get your asses out of here. I want to go home." Coach Finly yells. "Winters, I need a word with you."

"Sure Coach!" I yell back, unsure of why he would want to speak to me. Quickly, I grab my stuff and run across the field.

"Yeah Coach?" I ask once I reach him. Coach glances around, probably to ensure that no one hears. "I want you to join the team." He says.

"Coach, we don't have a girls soccer team." I deadpanned. Coach nods and thinks about this. "You can make your own." Coach states.

"Sorry Coach but I don't want to be in the same team as some prissy little girls." I stated about to walk away from this conversation.

As I am turning around, I hear Coach say a few words that shocked me to no extent. "Why don't you join the boy's team."

For the next minute, I stay frozen. A memory entering my mind.

"You want to do what!" Principal Harris yells. I sigh, not exactly sure why everybody is making such a big deal about this.

"I want to join the boy's team." I stated, raising a challenging eyebrow. All the Principal did was laugh. I don't know what her deal is.

"You... A girl... Boy's team." She barely got out between laughes. I just stared at her blankly. "The problem is?" I ask annoyed.

Quite quickly, she sobers up and just stares at me. I threateningly raise both my eyebrows, I know that I'm scaring her and that's the plan.

"Yeah, sure. There's no reason as to why not." The principal states firmly, although I can see the judgment in her eyes.

"Thank you." Is all I say before walking away.

With a huge grin, I turn around. "Sure Coach." I say then start to walk to the girls locker room. Coach just chuckles before yelling. "Tuesday's and Thursday's from after school to five."

I walk into the locker room, with a happy grin on my face. "What was up with that?" Haylee asks, walking up to me with a questioning look.

"I'll tell you at the café."

"Really Arabelle?" Alex gives me a dumbfounded look and I just shrug. "London did things to you. Things that can't be changed."

I roll my eyes. I mean seriously, London will obviosly change you if you have lived there for two years. Some people.

"What did you think would happen?" I exclaimed, shaking my head. What else could London have done to me in the span of two years?

"You could have gotten a sexy British accent. Damn, that would have been cool." Alex daydreams as I just roll my eyes for the hundereth time.

What the hell!
