Soccer, School, Friends, and More...

I'm Definitely Gonna Love Living Here

I woke up to the bright California sun beaming into my eyes.  I immediately got up, excited for the day ahead. I was going to get to hang out with the team.  I would probably get to meet some of the girls that I hadn't really talked to yet.  I also get to see Alex again!  What am I thinking?  Do I like Alex?  Does she like me?  Nah, she probably just thinks of me as a friend.  I shook off the thoughts going through my head when I heard my phone buzz.  I walked over and saw I had two texts, one from Lauren and one from Alex.  I opened the one from Lauren first letting me know that we were going to meet at the park around 1, asking if I wanted to walk with her.  I sent her back a quick text saying I couldn't wait and that I would walk with her.  I opened Alex's text and what I read just brought back the thoughts from earlier and confused me even more.

Lex: Good Morning Toby!  I can't wait to hang out with you later!  Maybe we could even hang out a little afterwards, just the two of us?  I want to get to know you better! ;)  Anyway, let me know and I'll see you later! ;) 

Did she like me?  What does she mean by get to know me better?  I had no idea what to think but I did know that I wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to hang out with Alex alone.  I quickly texted her back before taking a shower.

Me: And Good Morning to you too, Lex! I am so excited to hang out with you guys.  And I would love to hang out with you afterwards, maybe I can learn the secret behind the incredibly talented Alex Morgan? ;)  Haha I'll see ya later Lex! ;)

As I got out of the shower I had another text, from Alex.

Lex: You think I'm incredibly talented?  You've only known me for a day.

Me: So what?  I know talent when I see it.  Besides, who doesn't think you're talented?

Lex: There are some people who think I'm not talented at all.

Me: Well whoever they are, they're stupid and don't know what they're talking about. ;)

Lex: Thanks Tobin. :)

Me: Anytime Alex.  Now go get ready for our awesome day together! ;)

Lex: Yes ma'am!  Btw, what are we gonna do afterwards?

Me: That's up to you.  I just moved here remember?

Lex: Oh yeah!  Don't worry, I'll find us something fun to do! ;)  See ya later Toby!!

Me: Can't wait! ;)  See ya!

I looked over at the clock and noticed it was almost 12:30.  I figured I should probably get ready.  I went into my room and threw on some soccer shorts and a tee shirt.  I threw my hair up lazily before grabbing my soccer ball and heading outside.  My parents were both gone for the day getting some stuff for the house and my sisters went to the mall to buy new clothes and to meet some people.  As I walked outside I saw Lauren talking to her mom.  When she saw me she said goodbye and gave her a hug before walking over to meet me.

"Hey!  So, you ready for an awesome day out with the team?"  She asked

"Definitely!"

"Good!  Onward!  To the park!"  She said while pointing forward and starting to walk.  "So how was your first night in the new house?"  Lauren asked as we started walking.
