When I woke up in the morning it was round 6am. I would usually give myself an extra half hour to sleep but I was actually wide awake now. I don't know why but I was. I got out of bed and went to my closet looking for an outfit for today. I ended up picking this:

Once I got changed into that I combed my hair

Once I got changed into that I combed my hair. It was really curly today so I put in some of my curl gel to make it look neater and went downstairs. By now it was only 6:30, new record.

I went to the kitchen since no body else was downstairs yet and made myself a quick breakfast. Quick breakfast as in eggos and a glass of orange juice. I never really ate a lot to begging with, which is probably why I'm skinny, but I was actually kinda hungry today.

I heard footsteps coming and looked up to see tayler and Bryce. "What in the world.. Nicole lousie hall is awake before us?!" Tayler said jokingly. "Why yes I am. Now come on, I have to get some signatures." They both nodded and we got in the car. Tayler drove us every morning even though he's not in school anymore because that was our only time we could get together besides at night.. but none of us are in a good mood at night.

When we got to school tayler said "good luck with the signatures.. and don't let mom bother you." I smiled and said "ok thanks, and I won't." I got out of the car and went around the school. I went to the team first because I knew they would sign it. They all took turns signing it so now I had around 25 signatures. I'm pretty sure I needed 100 though so this will be some fun.

Next I went to the nice popular group. They always liked me. We all used to be friends in middle school but just kinda drifted.. and they knew how much football meant to me. Now I have 30 signatures. This isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

I saw coach walking down the hallway so I ran over and said "Coach you've gotta sign this. I wanna be back for next game!" He laughed and took the paper and signed it. "Good luck hall. Only 69 more signatures to go." I smiled and ran off to the next group of people.

I went to a lot of people and got 50 signatures. Just 50 more to go, but now it's time for class. I grabbed my books and went off. I saw Dixie in the hall so I quickly went to her and she signed it then I went to class. I sat down in the back and passed the paper to Charli for her to sign. I noticed she also signed for her parents which made me laugh.

Josh came in with the boys and said "so? How many we got now?" I counted them all and said "54." Josh looked shocked. "54 what Nicole?" My mom, the teacher said. "Signatures. So I can get back to football. I'm doing this to prove my PARENTS wrong." She said "well I'd love to help you prove them wrong. Let me sign it." I looked at Charli and we were both confused but hey, an extra signature, why not. My mom signed the paper and gave me a smiled, an actual happy one.. not an evil one. Strange.

I sat back in my seat and Charli whispered "what the fuck." I added "I know.. what the heck I thought she hated me." Charli said "well unless she fixes what she did, I hate her." I laughed. "Me too char." We both giggled a little bit then started doing our work.

Once class ended I had a chance to get some more signatures so I went around and got some more. I now have 60, 40 more to go! I'm shocked by how fast this is going. At lunch time I got the cheer squad to sign it and there's about 10 of them so I'm at 70 now.

After school ended I had a total of 75 signatures. I only need 25 more. I got my stuff from my locker and started to walk to the locker room to get changed for practice when I remembered I can't play yet. This is just bullshit. I mean, come on. I could've been out there playing but nope.

Anyways, I went to the football field and sat in the stands watching. I want to make sure I don't miss anything. I watched most of the practice but then decided to go out for more signatures. I went to some of the nerds and asked. They gave me a whole talk about how each gender should be equal.. I'm not suprised, they're nerds. I got their signatures and the. Went to some of my teachers and got theirs. I had 95 signatures now. I only need five more but I can't find anyone who I didnt ask.

I decided to just walk home and stop at the neighbors houses to get some signatures. Only four of them signed which means I need one more. Who haven't I asked yet?!

A/n:
Ok I might be over reacting but I just cried because josh and jaden are taking a "break" from sway house. I'm happy for them that they want to focus more on their future careers too so best of luck to them :)
