Part 1
Lance
Beep Beep Beep Beep
I don’t need this.
I sat up rubbing the sleep from my eyes and pulled myself from my comfy bed. I shut off my alarm and headed to my closet to grab my freshly washed football uniform. I dragged my heavy limbs to the bathroom to brush my teeth and all that good shit.
I’m too tired for this.
I should be happy though. School doesn’t start for another week and a half but I’m going to football practice at 6 am because I’m the captain. Not just the captain but the first junior captain of the Varsity team.
That perked me up immediately I’m pretty damn excited now. I worked hard as hell and it’s paying off now.
I got dressed and put my stuff in my bag. I quickly but quietly crept to my twin sister Val’s room.
“Val” I whispered opening her door carefully.
Not so peacefully was my sister sprawled across her bed
“Val” I poked her
“mm?” she groaned
“I’m going to practice” I smiled again at her sleepy form.
“Mkay have fun” she turned away.
I chuckled and made my way to my car. I tossed my bag in the passenger side and rode off.
I see my school coming into view. Silver Brooke High School, a decent enough place. ‘Decent’ is the word to describe the entire town. Not too good not too bad. Just decent.
I parked in my usual spot and headed to the locker room where my team and friends were all getting ready for practice.
“Yo Lance what up?” my best friend Zac called to me.
“I’m tired” I chuckle and dropped my bag by my locker.
“I feel man, but you’re the captain dude! You shouldn’t be tired you should be pumped. First junior to be captain of the varsity football team. How’s it feel?“Zac grinned
“Damn good I’ll admit bro”I couldn’t help the grin on my face.
“Hell yeah!” Zac slapped me on my back and went back to getting ready.
I quickly followed suit and we made our way to the field with the rest of the team for a hard practice.
This is gonna be a good season.
After Practice
“I’ve never seen you so in the zone dude” Zac panted taking off his helmet.
“Yeah man, I just feel it this is gonna be a good year” I sat on a bench catching my breath.
“Hell yeah, that’s the spirit!” Zac ran off to the showers.
I’ll never understand how he is always so happy. The dude is just a ball of energy but that’s my best pal. Love the kid.
I got up and undressed, grabbed a towel, and headed into the showers.
I quickly rinsed off all the sweat and dirt on my skin and wrapped the towel around my waist. Everyone knows I hate the school showers. I’m not insecure or anything the water is just never hot enough for all of us and that shit doesn’t sit well with me. I don’t feel clean with warm water. So, I just rinse off well and head home to shower it’s smart and my shower is better anyway.
I dried off and grabbed my basketball shorts and T-shirt. I got dressed and grabbed my bag.
“Later man”I heard the guys all behind me as I headed out to my car. I hurried home and unlocked my front door. My dog Harley is lying asleep in front of the staircase.
She’s a Great Dane. I love her I’ve had her for about 2 years now. She’s pretty much part of the family. I carefully stepped over her and made my way up to my shower.
I turned it on full blast and hopped in immediately after I stripped. I sighed in contentment as the hot water ran down my body. I grabbed my soap and washed myself thoroughly.
I heard the door open and knew immediately it’s Val when I heard her say something, then left as fast as she could. I rolled my eyes and finished up.
I grabbbed my towel and made my way to my room.
“Movies, movies” I heard Val mumble to herself in my room.
“Val, what are you doing?“I looked her over when she jumped and turned my way.
“I’m looking for your movies” she shrugged.
“Why?”
“Movie date with P.J.” Val smiled
Gross.
“You’re not taking my movies over there” I crossed my arms.
“Why not??” She whined at me
“Cause he’s a prick,” I said in a matter-of-fact tone. She knows how I feel about him.
“Lance pleeeeeease” she begged at me.
“God you’re annoying. Alright, they’re under the tv in the cabinet” I walked over to my dresser.
“Yay thank you” She went through them, picking some out while I got dressed.
“They better not get ruined” I mumbled at her
“We’re watching them Lance, not skating with them” Val rolled her eyes.
“Yeah sure” I tossed my towel aside.
“Ok, thanks. Later” she got up and made her way out of my room.
“Whatever. Those aren’t my best movies anyway. Those are hidden” I followed her to my door.
“Wait what?” she turned as I closed and locked it.
“Later” I called and turned on my TV.
I heard her huff and run downstairs and probably to the kitchen. After a few, I heard her out the door and could see her out of my window running across the street to the huge brick house that I’d grown to hate seeing.
Fucking Sinclair lives there.
Fucker better not fuck up my movies.
I laid on my bed and as soon as I got comfortable I felt my phone vibrate.
I checked it and saw that Zac had texted me to come to hang out.
I rolled my eyes, but get up anyway. Not like I’m doing much anyway. I slipped on my flip flops, grabbed my keys and headed out.
Well first chapter down. I don’t usually publish any stories so I hope whoever you are reading this can bear with me. Also, I write in the third person the most so I’m sorry if this sucks. Like I said bear with me.
