A Beat in the Stars

Keith POV

What sucked the next morning is I woke up with a major headache.  I sighed and got up with a groan. I got dressed into my dance uniform like usual, and slipped on my varsity jacket and grabbed my bags. I finished my morning routine and exited my house. I waited on my porch for my friend. I put my hood up and slipped my hands into my jacket pockets. Before you ask yes I took medicine for my headache, it's just a matter of time before it kicks in. Today we didn't have practice till 7 p.m. since it was Friday, so we were going to go to the park to get our homework done before going to practice.  My friend, Jason, pulled up and I got in the passenger seat to go get coffee before we go running again. 

~6:30 p.m.~

The dance team and I are in our school uniform as we were working on our homework and were about to finish. "Let's take a picture after we are done," the captain said. "Sure," we agreed. We were too busy with each other we didn't notice Voltron and the Rebels were watching our every move. We finished our homework and put our books up. I stood and went around the table along with the others on my side and we gathered for a picture. I slung my arm around Sky's, my best friend, shoulder and he put his arm casually around my waist. Jason put his elbow on my shoulder the captain took a picture with everyone in it and we grabbed our bags before going to dance practice. Sky took off with my phone causing me to chase after him. The group running after us. We were all laughing as we made it to the parking lot. I grabbed my phone from Sky as we put our bags in Jason's car. Sky got in the back seat along with Kyler, and I got in the passenger seat. 

~10:00 p.m.~

We were wearing our varsity jackets with the hood on as we made it to the park after practice. I jumped on Sky's back and Kyler did the same to Jason. Kyler and I fist bumped each other as Sky and Jason continued walking. If you couldn't tell Kyler, Sky, Jason, and I are good friends since we are the youngest of the group.  We went to sit at our usual table. I sat down on the table and turned to face the group, my right leg on the table while my left dangled on the side. We were talking when Matt walked up. "Hey Keith, I see you joined  the Blade of Marmora," he said. "Yeah I did," I said simply. "Is it better," he asked. "Is what better," I asked. "The school, the team. Was it worth it to leave the Garrison," He asked. "Not going to lie , yes," I said. "Okay that's fine, but we will break the Marmora's wining streak," he said while walking off. "Well then," Sky said. "He's just upset that I left," I told him. We went right back to talking about random stuff afterwards. 

Not to sound rude before but the school and the team I felt like I had a connection than I did in Garrison High. I still miss my friends, they were the only reason why I held out for so long. I can only take so much though. I don't get bullied here, or teased. I haven't gotten into a fight since I started. Everything is just better, but that doesn't mean I don't miss my friends at the Garrison. "Keith we should get going," Jason said after noticing we have been talking for two hours. We agreed and bid each other bye.
