**Previously**

I walked outside and set it down gently before kicking it to the other side of the grass and running up to it, and repositioning it so it faced sideways.

 I began to move closer to it sticking my left foot so that my ligament was facing the ball. I kicked it fine, but the ball landed on the right where I tried to aim it left. 

I groaned before walking back up to it again and trying to do something a bit different instead placing my left foot so it faced more right then left, and then kicking it so it landed on the side of my house.

Right where I wanted it to go. I need to practice that more.

"Yes, mom. I understand." I explained to her and rolled my eyes as she replied with a quick, ''good." She gave me a pleased smile before unlocking the car door and letting me out to walk into school.

I stepped inside wiping my shoes on the carpet, and scurrying over to my locker, where Noah watched my as he leaned against the locker next to me whistling. "Yes, Noah?" I asked slamming my locker and walking ahead of him.

"You seem happy this morning." He commented, and I snorted.

"Yup, I'm so happy that I'm at school." I remarked walking into the gym room and hearing Noah yell back, "School is the best." I laughed before I felt my waist being pulled, I gasp surprised as Slate locked her lips on mine.

"Good morning to you," I whispered my breath still sounding a bit shaky.

"Damn, I miss those lips." Slate muttered back, and I groaned before walking to the locker room, Ava giving me a nasty glare before walking out and going to talk with Coach. I smirked then got changed, Skylar walking over to me.

"It's game day!" She squeaked and then put on some leggings. 

I yawned the stretched replying with a quick 'Mmhm' she stared at me and then cocked her head confused. I relaxed my gaze at her before I raised my hands clapping. 

"Sorry, I was lost in my thoughts." She smirked again before letting a squeal. 

"Yeah, Slates thoughts." I shook my head at her before shrugging my arms and getting up shoving my bag in my locker before stepping out and jogged out the door and toward the field.

I was greeted by Slate as he stood between me and Skylar and placing an arm around my shoulders.

"Okay, guys we must get on straight away, we have a game today so get your asses on the track and start running!" We all replied with a long groan before beginning to run, Slate, of course taking the lead, placing his headphones in his ear. 

I ran next to Skylar as she panted heavily I kept my pace behind Slate admiring the fact that I was passed, Holden and Ava.
