The Emancipation of Emily
Chapter 2 P1
Olivia was dating a senior in the school’s soccer team and she persuaded me to accompany her for the soccer tryouts, which her boyfriend, Alex, was helping out with. It was a Saturday and since I had nothing to do anyway, I agreed. Besides, I figured it would be nice to pretend that the 20++ guys out there were trying to impress me.
That was when I spotted him.
“Oh, he’s trying out for the soccer team!” I said to Olivia, sitting up so I could get a better view.
He only noticed me halfway through; during the water break. He smiled at me and Olivia excused herself by looking for Alex. Seeing as I was alone, he came up to me. “Wait for me after the tryouts?”
I nodded, “all the best!”
I watched him streak across the field, counting down the minutes to the end of the tryouts.
