The Foster
Chapter 8
Percy's P.O.V.

I walked down the familiar halls of Goode to my last class of the day. I had English with Mrs. Sanders, the worst teacher in the school. She was probably around 65 years old and had a wrinkly face and short white hair. She looks like she would be one of the nicest people on Earth but, if you talked even a whisper she would snap.

I sat at the back of the classroom next to Beckendorf (his real name is Charles but, everyone calls him Beckendorf except Silena Beauregard, his girlfriend.) He smiled at me as I sat down and gave a smile wave with his huge hands. I waved back at him and turned my attention to the front of the class. The class was even more boring than I thought it would be and the harder I tried to pay attention the more it made my head hurt. I really just wanted class to be done so I could go to practice, I looked at the clock ten more minutes. I tried not to look at the clock because that would just make time go slower, I just looked at the front of the class trying to pay attention.

Finally, the bell rang signaling the end of class. I walked out of class as fast as I could and went to find my locker. I put my books in my locker and grabbed my backpack getting ready to go to the locker room.

"Hey Percy," I heard Rachel say from behind me.

I closed my locker door and turned around. "Hey Rachel."

"Can we talk?" She asked

"I need to get to practice, you know how Coach is, can we talk after practice?" I asked.

"I guess we could," She said.

"Thanks," I said and took off for the locker room.

When I got there almost everyone was changed and waiting from Coach. I quickly got changed and put on my cleats and shin guards on right before Coach walked into the room.

"You guys ready," He said. "Good, now get down to the field and give me two fence lines."

We all mumbled yes coach under our breath and got our stuff. I went and helped one of the freshmen with the water jug and we all walked down to the fields. When we got there we put our stuff down and started to run. The running wasn't that bad, I finished first and waited for the rest of the group. I got some water and started to kick a ball around. When everyone got back we got into partners and started to pass. It was what we did everyday except if we had a game the next day we wouldn't run. After that Coach told us to get into two lines and practice give and go's, I was first with Travis Stoll, I started to dribble up the field and then I kicked it up in front of Travis so he could run onto it and then he did the same. We did that until we reached the end line and jogged back. After give and go's we worked on 2v1's. I ran in and then got passed the ball then I ran up to the goalie and dogged them and kicked it into the goal. After 2v1's we scrimmage. I ended up getting three goals and my team won. After we scrimmage, practice was almost over but, Coach wouldn't be happy until we did some hills. I ran up the hill and back down five times like told us to do. After everyone was done we were able to leave. I walked up to the locker room and grabbed my bag and walked out the door.

I walked down to the parking lot and saw Rachel waiting. I didn't think she would actually wait I thought that she would go home and tell me later. I walked up to her.

"Hey Rachel," I said walking up to her.

"Hey Percy, can we talk now?" She asked.

"Sure," I said.

She took a deep breath and said "I think we need to break up".

The words ran through my mind. "Why?" I asked stupidly.

"I just don't think it's working out," She said.

I could she it on her face, she looked guilty. I finally put it together. "You like someone else," I said.

"What, no, Percy I just don't think it's working out," She said but I could tell she was lying.

"You like someone else," I repeated before I turned and started to walk home.


Hey guys,

I got the chapter up this weekend! YAY! insert victory dance here- Sorry for any mistakes in grammar and stuff like that cause I'm like half asleep right now (don't go to bed at 3 then wake up at 6:30-7 and then play softball all day, I'm sill tired and that was yesterday). I hope you like the chapter, also sorry if I used the wrong terms for soccer, I play field hockey not soccer. Thanks for reading! You guys are amazing! I hope I can get a chapter up by next weekend. Peace out!

~Care

P.S.

I personally love this chapter because of the break up. :)
