I walked into the swimming pool area and saw the lights in the coach office were on, which meant she
was in there.

I walked over to the office and knocked on the door, coach looked up and said "Emily come in." I walked
into the office and sat down on the seat in front of the coach's desk.

Coach then asked "Emily what can I do you for?"

I answered with "Umm… I'm not feeling to up for tonight practice do you mind if I skip it, I'll make it up
to the team I promise."

Coach said "Emily with what happening to you it's the less I could do for you and the team will understand."

I smiled and replied with "Thank-you so much Coach."

She also smiled and said "No problems kiddo, now you better get going the bell will go soon." I nodded my
head, stood up from the seat and walked out of the office and out of the swimming pool area; I then head
straight for my locker. I opened my locker just as the bell went which was kind of creepy but I kept going
to find my books for my next few lessons.


After a long day I was really glad coach had let me off for training tonight because I really wasn't up for it.

The girls had gotten what Melissa and I was texting about during science, I had just finished putting
stuff away in my locker.

I had just texted Melissa when I got into my car saying I was leaving school now. When I arrived home I
parked my car in the driveway and saw Melissa wasn't here

yet which was fine by me, I head up to the front door and walked in after unlocking the door.

I walked into the lounge room to find mum wasn't there but the bottle from yesterday was, I walked into
the kitchen she wasn't there either; I then thought she must of gone out.

I quickly wrote a note down on a piece of paper telling her I was going to Spencers and would be back late,
I then head upstairs to my room.

I walked into my room dropping my bag on the floor next to my desk.

I walked over to my cupboard a pick out my Anchor-Fields shirt I got a couple of years ago when I made the
swim team and pair of grey sweat pants.

After getting changed I sat down on my bead and wait for Melissa to text me; which only took about 10 minutes.

When she texted me I read it and it said,

-Melissa
Hey I'm out the front.


I smiled, stood up and left my room. I then walked down the stairs and there was still no sight of mum, I walked
out the door and locked it before walking out to black SUV that was pulled up out the front of my house.

I opened the door and smiled at Melissa, I then said "Hey it's illegal to park in front of someone house here."

Melissa laughed and replied "Is it now well I'll never drive here again."

I smiled and said "Okay fine by me."

Melissa leaned over and kissed on the check before saying "Yeah right."

I laughed and said "Okay it might bother me."

Melissa replied with "Yeah that's what I thought. So anyway how was school?" Melissa did U-turn before
heading toward her house.

I answered "It was good, well one bit wasn't but we don't need to talk about it."


Melissa asked "What happened?"

I sighed and said "Promise not to get mad."

Melissa asked "Why would I get mad?"

I replied "Just because, please promise."

Melissa answered "Fine I promise, what happened?"

I then said "Well Paige and I got into a tiff again and she was calling me a liar and cheat.
A liar for lying about doing weights in all of my free periods; since I didn't do them today.
A cheat for somehow cheating to get the anchor at this week's meet.
I kind of got angry at her and pushed her up against the wall and I then told her about my dad.
That's all that happened Mona pulled me off of Paige."

Melissa nodded and replied "If you didn't push her up the wall then she was going have to deal with me."

I laughed and said "Yeah you, Hanna, Spencer and Aria, probably Jenna and Mona too."

Melissa smiled and answered "Yeah them as well, did Paige say anything after you told her about your dad?"

I replied with "Yeah she said she was sorry." Melissa then pulled into the drive way and got out the car and came
around to open my door for me.

I giggled a little and said "Why-Thank-You."
