It was a brand new day, and a very important one. Out first game! I couldn't wait. On the other hand though, I'd had just about enough Drama yesterday to last me a year. They were confusing me. Not that I didn't love it.

I couldn't decide if Dylan had a thing for Mariah, or if it was just generally friendly. I had a feeling that I just think they're cute together, so I was making things up. I was starting to sound like Amber.

I was still lying in bed, too lazy to even consider getting up, even though our alarms should be going off pretty soon.

My mind turned to Mason and Kim yesterday. I'd seen them on the bus yesterday morning, Kim asleep next to Mason. But before we went to opening ceremonies, we'd all gone to get ice cream. I thought back to the way they sat together.

We had all ordered ice cream in a little ice cream shop in one of the buildings on campus. One by one, we went to sit down. Groups formed. I sat with a girl named Maddie that I didn't know too well, but she was still nice I guess. While we all talked like maniacs, excited for the show, but I looked over about 10 feet to my left as I licked my ice cream cone to see Mason sitting happily on the floor, leaning against a pole, Kim sitting next to him. They never left each other's side. It was just adorable. After they sat there for a few minutes though, one of his friends called him. Reluctantly, he looked kind of pitifully at Kim and stood up.

What really got me though was the way Kim looked at him as he walked away. She tilted her head up a little bit, and just kind of stared wide eyed at him.

And if I could put a name to the way she was looking at him, it was love.

I don't know why that moment replays in my head, but it does. I guess you just had to see her eyes at that moment.

A buzzing phone rudely snapped me out of my daydream. It was time to wake up.

When I got back from the bathroom, I found Bailey and Alana fighting. Not real fighting, just arguing over whose shirt was the one they'd found in the dresser. Both were convinced it was theirs. I rolled my eyes and ignored them. But as I thought about their pointless arguing, I remembered Erin and Michael's fight last night. I just hoped they were okay.

We all did our best to wake up, but really, we only barely had our eyes open as we trudged downstairs, still in our PJs to the field for breakfast.

As we lied in the grass, listening to some mediocre karaoke from a girl on stage and lying in our clusters, we started talking about our day. We were going to hang out this morning, try some of the fun things the campus had set up, and then we were going to watch a game for a team that lived a few miles away from theirs. And then, after dinner, the senior team had their very first game. Eric, one of the guys on the senior team with dirty blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, said comically,

"Yeah, I'm going to like…" He flailed for a moment with a lack of words, as we laughed and finished; "Zoom?" He asked awkwardly. We all laughed, and we all echoed Zoom back at him.

Once the joke had gotten old, I turned back around, and started talking to Bailey again. And as my mind flashed back to Mason and Kim once again from last night, I turned to Bailey, realizing I'd seen her talk to Kim lots of times. I took a deep breath and asked. It was worth a shot.

"Bailey?" Her Head turned. "Are Mason and Kim together or not? I'm officially confused." A dismal expression appeared on her face as she said quietly,

"No." And she turned her head to someone else. I was dying to ask more, but as I opened my mouth, coach blew his whistle and made us all get up to get on with our day. Well, that was only going to drive me bonkers for the rest of forever, I thought sarcastically as I got up slowly.

Once we all got dressed, we started heading for a field where they had something fun set up, but we weren't totally sure what yet. When we got there though, we found more than we could have hoped for. There were five or six giant hamster balls for us to (Attempt) to run in. There was a large assortment of various bounce houses, and to top it off, a ginormous rock climbing wall. I was practically in heaven, feeling like a four year old, but not caring.

After two hours, we'd had our fill, and we started heading back to our dorms, where we had pizza waiting for us.

None of us really wanted to spend more time in our tiny dorms, so we all lied on the grass in front out building in one large, contented circle. The grass was fresh smelling and very green, just making me even happier. I looked up at the sky and really felt happy. I was surrounded by people that I could have a great time around, and it was a gorgeous day. It was a simple happy. I enjoyed my last calm moment of the day, since we had two games this afternoon and evening. One we were watching, the other we were playing. I was actually fairly excited to watch the game. I might actually know a few people on the team, since they only live a few minutes away from us. I couldn't wait.

Of course they had to play Call Me Maybe. It played in the background as the team was getting ready. Everyone on our team stood in the bleachers and danced like maniacs. It was kind of funny. Once the song finally finished, I saw a man carrying a cart around selling popcorn. Since the game hadn't started yet, I decided to go get some.

My popcorn looked delicious, and as I saw a few officials stepping on to the field, I decided I needed to hurry back to my seat.

The ground hurt. My leg throbbed, and I rubbed my forehead. I run into someone, but I was yet to figure out what had happened. Then, in front of my rather blurry vision, I saw a hand reaching out to help me up. I figured it was the person I'd run into, but as I looked up, I saw someone I had sincerely hoped I would never see again. Adam, my ex-boyfriend.

Reluctantly, I accepted his help to stand up, and tried to hide my face once I was up. It didn't work.

"Nina? Nina! Is that you?" He said, a little too friendly.

I sighed hesitantly. "Yes. And you're Adam Delaney." I said with a sharp, sarcastic attitude.

"You remember!"

"How could I forget?" I rolled my eyes.

"Hey, I gotta go play, but um… want to try and meet up later? To catch up?" He was acting sort of nervous, but he was still eager to talk, just like old times. Ugh.

"Not really." A short whistle blew at him, and he ran off. I marched back up to the bleachers, my leg still sore, but my day ruined for other reasons. Alana looked at me with wide eyes and asked anxiously,

"That wasn't who I think it was, was it?"

"Sadly, it was."

I tried not to let my run in with Adam ruin my day. We had been together two years ago, the summer before I left boarding school. I had admitted to him that I was leaving, and he got mad. We broke up a few weeks before I left. He didn't want me to leave, but it frustrated him deeply. I was already over it. Apparently, he's since gotten over it too, but I didn't want anything to do with him. He'd always been one of those people that carry drama everywhere with them, and once I met Fabian, I deleted Adam out of my life for good. I didn't need him. Like I said, he must have changed his mind again, and I didn't really feel like dealing with it.

We decided to get away from campus for dinner. We weren't doing anything special, just going to a fast food restaurant, but we had to walk.

It was about a half a mile walk there, so we had a good ten minutes to gab like nuts, which was always appreciated, it helped get my mind off Adam.

Mason and Kim were walking together, of course. She did end up talking to a few of her friends though. Kim is so sweet, and Mason is very… outgoing. It doesn't seem like they would fit, but every time I talk to Kim, I know that they do. It just makes sense.

Erin and Michael are walking near each other, but since last night, they seem a little bit distant. I had finally gotten a feeling that they were still together though, much to my relief.

In every group, there seems to be the one person that never runs out of things to say, and has everyone listening intently. In our case, it was Dylan. He was going on about anything and everything, but yet somehow, it was interesting. Someone needs to explain that to me, because I don't get it. Leah started walking next to him, and she started telling a story about something that had happened during the game. She was opening up to him, and he was eating it up. This had happened over and over, with other girls too, but Leah was something different to him, I could tell. And that sort of frustrated me, because I'd already gotten attached to the idea that Dylan and Mariah were adorable together.

As I was thinking about these things over and over, I found myself starting to get a head ache, so I dropped it, and walked into the restaurant, now deciding what I was getting for dinner.

It was finally sinking in for us. The loud, out of control team from an hour ago was completely gone. The junior team was waiting in the stands, cheering the senior team. Their first game was tomorrow morning. It was great to be standing with this team, but we were all nervous, anxiously awaiting the start of our very first game. We had all changed into our green uniforms with our cleats, head bands, and other various assortments of accessories. The other team entered the field, looking sharp in bright blue uniforms, and as they all started to warm up, you could feel the tension rise. The crowd enjoyed that, and we all did our best to ignore it. We were in game mode.

By the time half time came around, I was already exhausted. We had some tough competition, and we were down by three points. We needed to get back up there soon. I was not losing my first game at Jewel week. But then again, somebody had to.

Eventually, we won by one kick. It was incredible, there was such a feeling of victory, we all hugged and high fived. The junior team ran off of the stands to join us, and we all danced around, and as the crowd left, the other team pouted, and the sun went down, but we partied.

After 10 minutes or so, Coach Brian made us head back to our dorms to go to bed. Reluctantly, we gathered our things and ran contently back to our dorms for the night. Who knew what tomorrow would bring?

A.N. Long, I know, but please tell me what you think! Everyone loves feedback! Anyone up for guessing my favorite couple in the story?

Please tell me of any songs you think of that fit the couples!

Dylan/Mariah: (What's going on here?)

Dylan/Leah: (I confide in you, but are we friends, or what?)

Mason/Kim: (Best friends that are afraid to take it further)

Michael/Erin: (Together, but fighting)

Nina/Adam: (Ex that she never wanted to see again)
