Chapter 1 (Milly)
The ball flew through the air, hitting right in the corner of the net, my best friend tackled me, laughing and cheering that i just got the tiebreaker for the soccer game, winning us the finals. I was in shock for a good 10 seconds before I realized what i just did. a great big grin spread across my face, i cheered with my friends, living in the moment.
After the game, we stayed on the field, dancing around with confetti flying and music blasting. We took a million pictures, all of us smiling like crazy. Holding that trophy above our head, surrounded by my best friends, I felt like I was on top of the world.
as we were about to leave, i noticed this boy, he looked around my age, maybe older by a year. he had his hood over his head, his bangs in his eyes, he looked so empty, so sad. i almost wanted to approach him, but i brushed it off. his mysteriousness seemed to draw me in, i wanted to know why he seemed so closed off, so done; but my best friend Ella grabbed me by my hand and dragged me along with the team, though i couldn't seem to tear my eyes from him.
