God, I'm stuck at soccer practice today. It's bad enough that I have to be here, but it's even worse that I have to come here everyday. I hate this sport. It makes me sick just thinking about practice coming up, or playing a game.
I'm quite good at it, team captain actually, but it is the worst thing in the world for me. My parents push me so hard to play. They have since I was three years old. They say to everyone how I'm going to be on their tv screens, playing football. I just role my eyes.
I don't want to be a soccer player. It's just not on my list of things I want to be. I want to be a super hero perhaps. A penguin seems great. But not a soccer player.
My parents want me to get into a good university, so I think that's why they push me so hard. As much as I love having the female attention and popularity, I hate it. I can't stand the assholes on my team. I can't stand the most agonizing coach I have ever met. I obviously can't stand my parents because all they talk about his how football practice was, and how I should do this or change that. It drives me insane.
I'm not even built for this. I have better legs than any girl in this school. They should be on commercials, not on a soccer field.
The only thing I like about my parents is that they let me do anything I want as long as it doesn't interfere with my football schedule. I can go clubbing or have parties. Shit like that. They don't care. They aren't even around to notice anything anyway.
The best thing about not having them around is music. I get to blast music all through the house, without interruption.
I bought my own guitar when I was fourteen. Music was the only thing that calmed me down after a game, or if I got to overwhelmed with school crap. It relaxed me so much, and I haven't stopped playing since. It's a getaway from reality in my mind.
I taught myself how to sing and play the guitar. I haven't told anyone about singing. My brothers know I have a guitar, but they don't realize I sing. My parents don't know about my love for music at all. I guess it should stay that way.
I've written plenty of music. I've never bothered to tell anyone about it though. I would tell my friends, but all they care about is the game coming up, or how many girls they got at a party. I have a reputation of being this huge asshole who only cares about himself, but I don't know. If it is true I don't want to be.
I just started my last year of high school, and I'm so ready to get out. I want to move to London for university. I think my parents have another plan though. They always think ahead of everything. I just live life from the moment. I say the first thing that comes to my head. It's my way of life, and that's how I'll always live.
I want to be unpredictable.
And I want someone to be unpredictable with me. Someone who will go to different countries with me. Someone who I will take anywhere with me. We could take on the world together. Ha yeah, I'll need to find a real girlfriend first.
My relationships won't last more than a good three days. Yeah I don't really know how to be a good boyfriend. Something always goes wrong.
I'm not shy, just reserved when it comes to girls. If I see a hot girl, I go after it. I'm not going to wait for her to see me. I think I'm attractive. I'm not as attractive as some of the guys on my football team, but I'm alright I guess.
I usually pick a popular girl to 'go out with'. Haven't really done that lately.
I have already looked at four universities with my parents, and it's not even the end of the first quarter yet. They really want me to stay in Australia with them, but I'm leaving as soon as I can. They think I'm going to get a full scholarship, and I will if I keep playing soccer. I just don't know if I will be able to take it anymore. It gives me anxiety just thinking about it. What if I don't do well and my parents get go insane? What if I get kicked off the team and my parents go insane? They tend to throw a giant rage of anger at me, if u do something wrong. That's why I still play this sport.
Well now you know me.
I'm Luke. Luke Hemmings.
