Saturday morning in Apartment 2J Katie gets up and stays in her pajamas to watch tv on the couch after getting her cereal*
You gonna tell her mom? She has to know "
"Kendall says"
I know but I'm worried how she'll react "Ms. Knight says"
What are you guys whispering about? "Katie says"
I signed you up to play soccer at the youth center "Ms. Knight says"
You did what?! "Katie says surprised"
It's a fun way to make friends "Ms. Knight says"
No it's not! It's a bad way! Kids in sports only care about winning! "Katie says"
I already have your uniform. You've got to put it on. Just try it please "Ms. Knight says"
sighs* Fine "Katie says and reluctantly goes to her room to put it on and returns" I'm not walking in public like this. It's all pink and sparkly and I feel weird in it. What's the name of the team?
The Pink Panthers "Ms. Knight says"
Oh my gosh "Katie says signing into her hands"
It's not that bad Katie. You like the color pink. You wear it all the time "Kendall says trying to lighten the mood"
I know but don't all sweaty in it "Katie says"
Please don't make me go. I don't know how to make friends with girls my age. Playing soccer won't change that *Hugs him*
If you just give it try you might surprise yourself. Mom really wants you to do this "Kendall says"
She should've told me ahead of time. Why wasn't I informed about this? Now you're keeping secrets from me Mom? You're just signing me up for a sport I don't even watch on tv in the hopes that my lonely socially awkward self would actually enjoy it? Not cool "Katie says"
I'm sorry I didn't discus it with you but I really think you should give it a chance "Ms. Knight says"
If I do this I want ice cream afterwards "Katie says"
Fair enough "Ms. Knight says"
And a new video game "Katie says"
Deal "Ms. Knight says"
unenthusiastically* Katie: Let's go help me "make friends". I want Logan to come
Why not me? "Kendall says"
Cuz you knew about the soccer thing and kept a secret from me too and I'm mad about that. We tell each other everything. We're super tight. How am I supposed to trust you after this? "Katie says"
You can trust me Katie. I'm sorry I didn't tell you "Kendall says"
Whatever. I'm not leaving without Logan "Katie says"
I'll go wake him up "Kendall says sighing and walks to the bedroom he shares with and tells him everything"
10 minutes later Logan walks in dressed and ready to go after eating breakfast*
In the car*
This isn't fair. I should be at home relaxing all summer. Not running around after a ball in the sun "Katie says" The highest temperatures in Los Angelas are always in the hundreds. I don't have to play in that right? The coach wouldn't be that cruel? Right?
I'm sure they'll be fair about it Katie. They're not gonna let your and the other girls brains fry in the heat "Logan says"
Exactly it shouldn't get to that point. I can't do this "Katie says"
You can and you will "Ms. Knight says"
Turns into the parking lot*
Wow this place looks great. Come on Katie "Logan says"
Do I have to? "Katie says"
Yes "Logan says"
Fine "Katie says irritated and gets out of the car"
