The next morning was Wednesday. I woke up at 5:45am. I couldn't wait to get to school. I got up and looked in my closet. I decided to wear a baby pink sweater with light jeans with holes in them. Since I had time this morning I curled my hair and actually did my makeup for once. I didn't put on a lot. When I looked in the mirror I noticed that if I actually try I can look really nice. Before I went downstairs I put on my tall brown leather boots which tie in the back. When I got downstairs mom was heading up to wake me up.

"Well look who's up and ready at 6:00am."said mom surprised.

"Haha very funny."

"You look very nice today. Any particular reason?"

"No. I just had the time."

"I see."

Mom was working on some pancakes when I heard a knock on the door.

"I'll get it mom!"I said as I started walking towards the door.

When I opened the door I saw Matt standing there. He was wearing a red and white shirt. It had the school logo on it. The school mascot is a bulldog.

"Hey"I said after opening the door. "What are you doing here?"

"Picking you up for school. What smells so good?"

"My mom is making pancakes for breakfast."

"You want some pancakes Matt?"said mom from the kitchen.

"Sure. It smells great and I'm starving."

Matt came in and took a seat at the table. I got both of us a glass of milk and each of us a plate with two pancakes on it. We ate then headed out the door.

"I enjoyed eating with you and your mom."

"She makes breakfast every morning."

"I wish my mom was like that. Instead I just skip breakfast."

"Then you should join us every morning."

"Really? You mean it?"

"I mean yeah if you want."

"That would be amazing thanks Lola."

When we got to the school he walked me to my locker. I realized  how good of a friend I have. How lucky I am.

"Are you walking home today after school?"he asked.

"No I'm staying after to use the music room."

"Oh I see. Maybe we can meet at the soccer field. What time are you leaving?"

"He needs the music room at four thirty. But after I can meet you there."

"Great. By the way you look amazing today."

He said that then he walked away to his first period class. When I got to my first period class it wasn't long after till Sarah came in the room. I thought she would leave me alone but instead she walked straight to me.

"Hey nerd."

I just ignored her but that only made thing ten times worse than before.

"I'm talking to you."she said as she threw my pencil pouch to the floor spilling everything in it.

"What was that for?"I asked.

"Oops."she said as she dumped my binders and notebooks in the floor to go with my pencils.

"Leave her alone Sarah."said a random voice.

I turned around and saw Matt standing in the doorway.

"Matt."said Sarah surprised.

"Stop teasing Lola. She has done nothing to you."

'Yes she has."

"What has she done to you then?"

"She knows what she did."

'No I don't Sarah."I said.

"Come on Lola. I'll tell the teacher you are with me."

Then he grabbed my hand and dragged me away. I noticed that he brought me to the gym teachers office in the gym.

"Why are we here Matt?"

"You'll see."

He knocked on the door then opened it. He grabbed a basketball and passed it to me and I caught it.

"Why are we here?"

"You're good at soccer you might be good at other sports."

"Really?"

"Yes. Sports are a big deal here at Barren High."

"So?"

"So you might help out the teams."

"I highly doubt that."

"Don't think so negative."

"Come on just try."

So I tried. I was actually pretty good at basketball along with soccer. But it didn't make me feel as happy as soccer did. I was actually considering playing next season. But the whole first period we played. Not a full came but we just shot. Then we walked to our lockers and separated to go to our second period class.
