narrator
asher came home from his saturday morning football practice and walked into the living room.

as:hey mom
am:hey baby, we are about to call a family meeting so dont hop in the shower just yet.
as:oh, okay. why exactly?
ad:you will find out when its time.

minutes later ashers parents call the meeting. everyone is sitting some place in the living room and coco looks like she is about to cry.

am:your father got a new job in attaway, which is a small town more south of san francisco. we are sorry but its for the best.
as:no mom, dad, please.

am:you will all make friends there.
as:but what about my football team?
am:you will be able to try out for the one in attaway. they are interested in your skills already.
as:this is bullshit!

asher stands up and storms off and up the stairs. he plops on his bed and calls jack.

as:my parents are ruining my life J
ja:how is that? its impossible to ruin the asher angels life.
as:well i guess my parents did the impossible. turns out im moving to this town called attaway.
ja:no way. dude you cant.
as:i cant change my parents mind. im pretty sure we are supposed to play them this season anyways. imagine how bad i would look being on the other team.

they hung up and ashers mom lightly knocks on his door.

as:what.

am:you dont need to give me that attitude asher dov angel.
as:well its your and dads fault this is happening so i do. now can you go? i have homework and i need to shower.

she lightly closes the door. asher stands up and takes a shower.

~tuesday~

asher is sitting next to jack in second hour.

as:this is gonna suck after school today.
ja:yeah, saying goodbye to the team and your entire history? i cant imagine.
as:never thought i could either but now its happening
ja:i feel ya bro.

during ashers final football practice he told his coaches that he was moving. after practice he cleaned out his locker and then headed home. at home he went directly to his room and stared at all his belongings boxed up and on the floor. he took a seat on his unsheeted bed and just played on his phone. the movers soon came in and took the boxes. they were leaving tomorrow morning which is so soon in ashers head. the next morning asher woke up. he was still wearing his clothes from yesterday. he quickly changed and went downstairs. their new house was forty five whole minutes away. after the long car ride asher and his siblings darted into the house to pick their rooms. asher got biggest/master, london got second biggest, and avi got the smallest. his room was still pretty big tho. most of ashers boxes were in his room. after his room was painted he started to unpack. after hours of unpacking he was done. he started his first day of school tomorrow and he had football tryouts.

~next day~

as:mom. i dont need a tour
am:oh honey, yes you do.
as:no mom. all your doing is dropping me off. no walking me into anywhere. the car shouldnt stop for more than 2 seconds.
am:fine.

at the school asher walks into the principals office and gets his schedule. the person thats giving him a tour is a boy named johnny. during the tour johnny and asher became friends. johnny is also on the football team so thats good for asher. everything was fine throughout the day until lunch. johnny took asher to sit with his friends. aka the populars.

jo:okay, asher. these are my friends. there is kenzie. my girlfriend. hayden, anna, and last but not least, annie.
as:hi, im asher.
an:hey. im annie. so what brings you to attaway?
as:my dad got a new job here
ac(anna):thats cool
as:i guess, i miss my old life.
ke:you will love it in attaway. every saturday after we win a football game we go to the arcade and play games. its so fun.
ha:yeah, well ignore all those nerds. im hayden. hayden summerall. quarterback of the attaway football team.
as:i have heard about you before.
ha:not surprised. im pretty popular in our state.
as:cool.

lunch was pretty normal for asher. so was the rest of his school day. when he got into his moms car after football tryouts he had a bad expression on his face.

am:whats that expression for?
as:nothing. school is just, boring.
am:well how were tryouts?
as:good.

asher didnt know how to feel. whenever he saw annie he felt something he never felt before and he doesnt know why. luckily annie wasnt at tryouts or he would have flunked that super badly. at home asher checked his phone and saw some text messages from a groupchat that was full of unknown numbers.

as:who are all of you?
an:its annie
ke:kenzie
ac:anna
jo:johnny
ha:hayden

asher clicked off his phone. a sleepover with annie. the only problem is...her boyfriend.
