OK so I had this idea and thought I would see what came of it, let me know if I should continue or just delete it
Spencer Carlin hated being the new kid in school, but it seemed like lately that's all she was. This was the fourth new high school in less than 6 months. She could remember the last high school that she attended in Texas, Dallas County High School home of the Trojans. She remembered the boyfriend that she had to leave behind and how he promised that a long distance relationship would work. Here she was in unfamiliar LA and Scott was still in Dallas. Reluctant that it would work, Spencer gave in and said she would give it a try. So far everything was going great they talked or imed at least twice a day, plus the numerous messages left on each other's facebook helped. They had only been in LA for a day when her mom decided that it was time for Spencer and her brothers, Glen and Clay, to start school. Later that afternoon they went to the new high school that they were going to start on Thursday. When they arrived at King High School her mom and dad were all smiles. They reassured the three that this was a good school and that things were going to be different from now on. Spencer hoped this meant that there would be no more moving, due to her dad being in the army, and that she would get to finish her last two years of high school at the same school. Spencer's mom, said that while the boys were in the office they could go talk to the lacrosse coach and see if she could get on their team. One thing Spencer loved more than life was lacrosse. She had been playing as long as she could remember and that was the one thing her and her mom had in common. Spencer and her mom, Paula rarely saw eye to eye on anything, but as long as Spencer promised to keep up with lacrosse her mom let her live her life however she wanted to. When they reached the field the girls were just beginning to warm up and the guys were already in a game of shirts and skins. "Wow LA guys are much hotter than those in Dallas" Spencer thought to herself. When Spencer spotted the coach he was a short, balding, somewhat chunky, and probably could not do half the running he was making the girls doing. He looked at her at said, "You must be Spencer Carlin." She wondered how she knew her name but figured her mom and already talked to him about her joining the team. "Yes sir that would be," was all she could say. "Its very nice to meet you Spencer, I've heard many good things about your playing not only from your mom but from your old coach at DCHS." "You talked to my coach?" "Yes he called here yesterday to say that you would be starting soon and was wondering if I had any open spots on the team to offer you. I told him that I would have to see that you could actually play, but according to him you are the attacker that that school has ever seen. So if you brought your cleats and stick you can go put them on and join the girls for practice today so I can get a feel for how you play." " I didn't know that I would be playing today so I didn't bring any of my stuff." About the time she said this her dad, along with Glen and Clay, showed up carrying the bright yellow Trojan bag that she got when she joined the lacrosse team. "Bathrooms are on the right of the building but you better hurry we are about to start running drills, and we will definitely have to do something about that bag." With that Spencer thanked the coach and smiled at her mom then was off to change. Once she got back to the field the girls were all huddled and she walked over to join the circle, once Coach John had seen that she was there he introduced her to the team and told them she was might be joining the team so not to take it easy on her just because she was the new girl. Spencer went out and played as hard as see could, see knew that the coach would be watching her and she wanted to make a good impression. She felt pretty good about how she had been playing especially during the short game they started near the end of practice. Spencer had scored three of the five points that put them ahead to win against the other girls. After the practice the coach asked if he could talk to her for a minute. "Spencer you played really well today and your old coach was not lying when he said you could play. So about this spot on the team are you interested?" "Of course I am" "Being on the this team means many responsibilities. The athletes at King High strive not only for success on the field but also in academics. We require a 3.5 GPA, weekly study hours, and to stay out of trouble you think you can do all that?" "I almost never get in trouble and I have a 4.0 GPA, so that should be no problem." "Well then welcome to the Lady Knights lacrosse team, be here at 6:30 in the morning for the team run and then we have practice after school from 3:30 till 6:00." "Ok, see you then." As she walked across the field she noticed her family sitting on the bleachers waiting for her. "Mom Mom, I made the team!!" "That's good sweetie, lets go out to dinner tonight to celebrate. What were you and the coach talking about when practiced ended?" "He was telling me about all the requirements that I had to maintain to be on the team and that I have to be at the school at 6:30 in the morning tomorrow to run and that we have practice until 6:00 tomorrow night." "You have to be at the school 2 hours early and then stay two and a half hours after for a sport" Glen said butting in. "Glen if your passionate about something you will do whatever it takes to be good at the thing, maybe you should learn from your sister" Spencer's dad Arthur said. Clay laughing spoke up and stated, "Dad you forget that Glen is passionate about two things, video games and girls." with that everybody in the car started laughing. On the ride home from dinner Spencer couldn't help but think, "maybe this new school wont be so bad."
