sophomore Year

sophomore Year(Alize) CHAPTER 1

It was August 25, 2016 the first day of school. I grab my backpack and my house keys and walk out of the house I sit in the car and waiting for my mom to come out and take me and my friends Taylor and Ann. I start getting nervous thinking about sophomore year of high school, the best three school years of your life time! School dances, car washes, football games, staying out late and hanging out with friends, and a lot other fun exciting times. My mom finally comes out of the house and gets in the car, we drive to Taylor’s house and I sing to the radio as we drive trying to get my mind off of how nervous I am about school. It’s like the first day of junior high all over again. We get to Taylor’s house and my mom honks and Taylor and Ann come out of the house getting into the car.

“Hey Melissa” said Ann.

“Hey” I said hoping in the back seat with them.

“Are you excited for school” asked Jessica.

I thought to myself thinking about how nervous I am and how excited I am to start school and to meet new people but I just respond with, “Kind of”

Then we all sing to the radio as we drive to school. We finally get there and I take a deep breath getting out of the car. We all walk by each other looking at all the kids getting out of their cars or getting dropped off by their parents. I look across the street and notice this boy with really pretty eyes and I noticed them from a distance, I couldn’t tell what color they were but they were amazing. I turn around and walk into the huge Hillcrest High School that now known as my school! I walk with Jessica and Ann to the three tables we got in the 10th grade line to get our classes for the semester. We waited in line for 10 minutes and we finally got our classes! We all walked to find our lockers they were all by each other; we have the same first period, math.

We went through that whole day and I see that kid in three of my classes his name is Luke Smith the cutest boy in the whole school, at least that I noticed. Luke and I have 7th period with him once the bell rings Mr. Hallow asks me and Luke to stay for a few minutes after class. I walk over to his desk and Luke stands next to me and Mr. Hallow says that we were his two best students on the first day of school, he said we took lots of notes, and that we paid attention the whole class period and he really appreciated it he said thank you and we both replied with “anytime.” I walked as Luke walked behind me I turn at the door and walk towards my locker where Jessica and Ann are supposed to be waiting for me. I open my locker with Jessica and Ann standing next to me I grab my backpack and put all my books in it and I walk with them outside. Taylor’s mom took Ann and I home I watched TV because I didn’t have any homework, I have the first soccer practice of the season. I wait a while then I get my old uniform on since we haven’t got our new ones yet. I put my shin guards on then my shoes and grabbed my cleats. I start walking to the rec center I listen to my music on my phone as I walk and finally arrive. I sit on the grass in between Kristina and Rachel I start to put cleats on. After everyone get here we all get in a circle and one person counts on an odd number and everyone else counts on an even number and we stretch. We count tell we get to the number 15 then we do a different stretch. We stretch for 15 minutes then we run a mile across the park. We start out jogging. Rachel and I jog next to each other and we start talking about school.

“So are there any cute guys at your school?” Asked Rachel

“Yes!!” I respond “There’s this kid named Luke he is so cute!!”
“What does he look like?” Rachel asked again.
“He has the prettiest eyes ever, he’s tall, he’s…” I paused as I look over and see him with his soccer team practicing. “He’s right there…”
Rachel looks over looking at him “He isn’t bad looking at all...”
We sit down catching our breath and he tells is we are going to go over the basics today then he’ll give us our uniforms. We go over passing shooting and other basic skills of how to kick the ball correctly. We get our uniforms; I turn mine over and see my first name initial and my last name on it, H. Gomez. We all leave practice and I walk home with Rachel.
