"You haven't left yet? Its 7:30!" Everleigh groans, rolling over face me from her bed.
"Told Coach I wouldn't be there because I'm not feeling good." I sigh, rolling over to face her.
"Wise decision?" Leva mumbles and I sigh.
James Hadlen:
Hey love. Heard you're not
feeling the best :( I'll be there
in about 5 with a few things &
if youre asleep, I'll sit with the girls.
I smile, reading his message over and over again.
"James is stopping by in 5." I sigh, rolling to face my wall.
I could hear Everleigh's snicker the moment I turned around. I started to fall asleep but I heard the door click open and a body laid beside me.
"Someones unhappy." He mutters and I sigh.
"I'm exhausted."
"But you're adorable." He whispers and I feel myself blush.
"Shh." I mumble and I roll back over to face my wall.
"Okay you are definitely going to be falling asleep soon. I got you taco bell and it's on the counter whenever you get hungry. I love you."
"I love you too." I whisper snd he gets off my bed.
"Goodnight girls. Welcome to Arizona."

Knock Knock.
"Ev! Get the door!" I heard Leva shout as I laid half awake in my bed.
"Is Carmody here?"
"Yeah she's still asleep. She's not feeling good. Who are you?
"Emily Lyon. I play basketball with her."
"Ohhh! Nice to meet you! I'm Leva and that's Everleigh."
"It's great to meet you. I just wanted to let her know we don't have training for two weeks because Coach had a family emergency. Including lifts."
"Okay! Sounds good!"

August 26: Monday: 2:15pm
I wake up to a knock and hear the door click open. I sit up and face Everleigh who comes in, dropping her bag next to Leva's bag and going straight to the kitchen. I get off my bed and go to the kitchen, grabbing a cheese stick and poking her shoulder. I stumble back to my bed and she laughs.
"Did you just wake up?"
"Yup."
"It's 2:15 in the afternoon."
"Oops."
"Are you going back to bed?"
"Yes Ma'am."
"No. We're going for a drive and you're not allowed to fall asleep."
"I'll force Leva to come after class. Let me shower and make my bed then she should be back."

3:30pm
"I'm home!" Leva shouts!
"You're finally home!" I smile, sitting on my bed in a blue crop top and grey sweatpants, my hair wrapped in a towel drying and our tv playing Hamilton on Disney+ in the background.
