Emily- The day before

The day before I was chosen I was doing an all day soccer tournament. I hated soccer, but still played it because I love sports, most sports anyway. Halfway through the game I came off because of my bad knee. I have Osgood Schlatter.

Osgood Schlatters occurs during a growth spurt and swelling appears on the front of 1 or both knees. I only have it on my right knee, thank goodness!l

Soccer went for what felt like a life time. I still don't understand why I signed up for it? I get into any team I want. 

I once got into the diving team. I don't even know how to swim. How am I meant to dive? I really don't think these things through, do I?

I have been sport captain from grade 6 up until now. I love the sport teacher, she's so nice. She's always bringing me donuts to school, I LOVE DONUTS!! especially the ones with hot jam in the middle. It's the best combination EVER!!

 Great, another text from my mum.

Hi Honey, Hope you're having a nice day.

Just letting you know that Bob will be joining us for dinner.

Have a good day, Love you sweetie!

~Mum

Ohmigod, doesn't my Mum realize that I don't want to meet Bob for a reason?

I want my Mum to be with my Dad, not some random she met at the supermarket.

I reply,

Sorry Mum, We won the soccer tournament and the coach is taking us out to for pizza.

See you later! 

~Em xx

There, that'll set her straight. But right now I have to find someone who will go to dinner with me. I might ask, Bryan. I don't know. I don't want things to get weird between us. I get my phone out again and type

Hey, Bryan. Wanna go get some pizza late?

Let me know,

~Em.

I stared at my phone for a miute, hoping he would reply soon. I then got a text from Eleanor.

WTF?

I reluctantly opened it. I read it out loud:

Hey Em,

It's Eleanor here. I was hoping you could come over tonight for a sleepover. There are a few other people coming too. Let me know.

~Eleanor xx

What the hell? I responded:

Sure, I'd love to come.

I'll be over at 7pm!

~Em

With that I left.
