I wake up the next morning and get up and shower then I slide a pair of my soccer shorts and my jersey and I grab my varsity jacket as I slide a pair of soccer socks and a pair of slides on as I pull my hair up into a messy bun and I put very light makeup on and I grab my shin guards and throw them in my soccer bag and I throw a pair of sweat pants in my bag and then I grab my bookbag and my keys and I walk out of the house locking the door behind me. 30 minutes later, I pull up at Carson's house and text him letting him know I am outside and I look up as he walks out and he is pulling a shirt on over his head and i bite my lip and then look back down and I unlock the door and I wait for him to get in. I drive to Starbucks and walk in getting my usual and then I grab a blueberry muffin for both of us and I pay and walk out to the truck and hand him one and we sit in the parking lot eating and I drink my coffee and it is awkward and quiet and I have no clue what to say to him. "So, when is y'all's first game?" I say looking over at him as I finish my muffin and crumble the paper in my hand. I wipe my hands and mouth. "Friday, Based on what you are wearing I'm guessing your's is today?" He smiles and then I look down and smile and laugh "Yeah its our first home game, so that means I'm not going to be able to drop you off at home unless you want to stay and watch the game?" I look over at him and admire his chizled face and body. "Yeah, I can stay. I have nothing better to do when I'm grounded from my car." I nod my head and then I drive to the school and then I turn off the truck and I throw my keys into my bag and I jump out and fix my jacket and I start to walk into the school after I lock my truck.
School drags on and then the final bell rings and I walk out to the field house to get ready for the game. I put on my uniform shorts and I put my shin guards on and I start to french braid my hair back and then I slide my cleats on and I walk out to the field to start warming up. I run around the field and then I stop to wipe some sweat off my forehead and look over and there is Carson sitting in the bleachers alone. I look at him and smile and wave as I start to stretch. Then I start shooting on our goalie getting her warmed up for the game then I look back and see the other team walking in. I walk over to the bleachers and I stand infront of Carson and I smile " I'm sorry that you have to stay here with me." He looks into my eyes and then says "I don't mind being here with you Clarissa, I like being here. I like being with you..." I am surprised and I say "What?" He looks away and I can see that I must have hurt him. "Nothing, nevermind..." I sigh and then i walk up the bleachers so I am sitting beside him "Carson, I didn't mean it like that. It just caught me off guard..." I bite my lip and then I look down at my feet. "Clarissa, there's just something about you that intriges me and makes me want to know more about you but I don't know what it is." I look up at Carson "I just didn't know because honestly you could have any girl in this school and I didn't know why you would want to waste time on simple little me..." He instantly looks up at me, "Clarissa you aren't simple and I don't know why any other guy wants to spend his time with you. You are gorgeous and sweet and funny." I am surprised and in complete awe. "Really?" I start to blush and he smiles and nods his head yes. "Yes really Clarissa." I smile and then I look over and see the game is about to start "You better not go anywhere, I have to talk to you after the game." I stand up and walks down the bleachers and then the game starts. We win 5-3. After the game I give Carson my keys to my truck and then I jog into the field house and I take my shin guards and shorts off and then I pull off my jersey and then notice I didn't grab a shirt so I just grab my varsity jacket and I put it on and button it up and then slide my shorts off and pull my sweat pants on and I grab my bags and walk to the truck where Carson is sitting in the passanger side of the cab. I throw my bags into the bed of the truck and I climb into the cab and I grab my keys from Carson and I start the truck and start the drive towards Carson's house.
"So....how long have you felt like this Carson?" I say as I continue to look at the road. "For awhile now but I didn't know how to tell you." I bite my lip and then I pull over to the side of the road and I turn the truck off and look over at him. "Really? You could have just told me Carson... because honestly I have felt something towards you but I just didn't know to tell you because you never said anything to me before." I bite my lip and then look up into his eyes. "I didn't know how to tell you Clarissa, there was many times before practice that I just wanted to grab you and tell you but I didn't wnat you to think I was just a creep."
I sigh and then I bite my lip and run my fingers through my now wavy hair and look into his eyes "I wouldn't have thought that Carson.." I then put the keys back into the ignition and start driving towards his house again.
