My first 15 kisses
School was tough today. My teacher told me that I should try out for soccer. I don't think that's such a good idea considering that I'm not coordinated enough. Ok, I have to admit. The real reason that I don't want to play soccer is that my one true love is on the team that my teacher wants me to join. School should be over soon so I can go ask my mom for her wonderful advice.
"Hi mom!" I say as I walk in the front door of our tiny house. It has two bedrooms, a small kitchen, bathroom, and living room. In our bedrooms we don't have much. Just a twin sized bed, and a basket for our clothes. The kitchen has a mini-fridge, stove, oven, and microwave. And the bathroom is a bathroom.
"Hi sweetie," My mom replies. She is making dinner for us to have tonight, "How was your day?" She continues in a question.
"It was ok, but I have a question for you," I start the conversation to get her advice. She nods so I guess that means that I should ask it, "My gym teacher wants me to join the soccer team but Percy is in the team she wants me to join. What should I do, I mean, I don't want to make a fool of myself," It was really awkward for me to ask her about it but we tell each other almost everything. By the way, Percy is my crush.
"I think you should try out for it. Practice at home and you can impress him. But if you don't practice then you won't get any better and you will make a fool of yourself. So I say go for it but just remember to practice a lot at home. We will need to buy a soccer ball." She suggests.
"Thanks mom!" I praise her helpfulness, "I'm going to go start practicing right now!" As I'm walking out the door, I remember that we don't have a soccer ball, so I walk back inside and sit on our two seated couch.
The next morning as I'm walking to school I rethink this soccer team thing. I would rather impress Percy then make a fool of myself so this has to go as planned or else I will need to move to Canada. I live in Oklahoma right now and I think Canada is far away enough for him never to hear of me again. But if it all goes well then this could be the start of a new love relationship. I go straight to my gym teacher and tell her to sign me up. She gladly signs me up and I go to class.
Another long, boring, hard, and frustrating day of school, but I'm really looking forward to soccer practice. I get my backpack from my locker and start heading to the soccer field. I've never actually played soccer, just a quick, yet fun, game with my friends back in Austin, Texas. I step onto the newly cut grass and see Percy warming up with the team. He looks so cute with his brown, curly hair jumping up and down as he runs. He is wearing his team outfit- A yellow and black shirt with black shorts. I walk up to the coach, which is my gym teacher, and tell her that I'm ready to start training. She tells me to join the rest of the team in running.
As I'm running, I'm staring at Percy right in front of me. We finally finish running and start playing a game of soccer. I did really well this practice and I think Percy noticed me. After class Percy comes to me and starts to ask a question.
"Hey Annabeth!" He says is the most wonderful voice ever.
"Y-yeah," I reply but I can't believe I studdered.
"You did great today," He starts to say, "Maybe we can get together sometime.
"I would love that," I say in a nice voice.
"Ok, how about right now?" He asked surprisingly.
"Right now," I continue, "OK!" I finished.
As we were walking to the Dining Hall, he takes my hand and slowly walk to the Dining Hall.
