Dribble, dodge, kick….and score! Taylor was in her back yard kicking around a soccer ball. It was something she was good at. Taylor was a sophomore at East High School. And she had always hid her talent for soccer behind her brains and books. She also wasn't really extremely smart like everyone thinks. She actually spends hours and hours a day doing homework struggling with her AP classes. But she promised she wouldn't be like her mom, even though she loved her mom.
Her mom was a single parent of 4 kids. Each kid with a different man, Taylor never knew her father. But she looked after her little brothers and sister anyways. Taylor was the second oldest and her mom expected a lot out of her. Ms. McKessie worked 2 full time jobs so Taylor got stuck baby sitting most of the time.
Taylor sighed and went back inside and picked up her little brother Devon as she walked into the kitchen and set him down on the counter. "What do you want Devon?" She asked. Devon was 6 and one of the cutest little guys you would ever see. She also had a 10 year old sister Kendra who had one of the worst attitudes ever. And then was her 21 year old brother Jeremy who was currently enrolled in a local college and worked part time at a garage shop to help pay the bills around the house.
"I want Mac and Cheese!" Devon said. Taylor smiled and put some water in the pan and started to boil it.
The Next Day at school
Taylor walked down the halls of East High in black heels, a nice skirt and a red top. She didn't bother bringing her rolling book bag today. Chad and his basketball junkies made fun of her as she past but she ignored them as she went to homeroom. After the bell rang Mrs. Darbus read off the lunch menu and other things. But the thing that caught Taylor's attention was Soccer try-outs. She bit her lip slightly thinking if she should really try out or not.
