SETH
Ever since that speaker came to church three weeks ago I have been motivated to start working in my faith. I can’t say that it has all been successful because it hasn’t. Sometimes it feels like I'm running through mud. I have been praying to God for Him to put someone in my way where I could speak the truth to them. I really think that person is Lucy. Ever since that day I have been sitting with her at lunch. I think that we are becoming acquaintances instead of enemies, hopefully one day we will become friends.
Lucy is different from all the girls that I have talked to before. She likes things done her own way. She also has this mysterious side of her that I never know what exactly she thinks or wants. No matter how much I ask the guys to leave her alone they never do. It makes me so mad at them. I mean they are by best friends and my team mates but really they just need to lay off. I really want to get close to her and they are stopping me from doing that. I can’t believe basketball practice today. We hardly ever have practice on Friday. This is my last year for playing for the team being a senior and all. I know that my mother is going to cry.
BEEPBEEP BEEPBEEP BEEPBEEP. I open my eyes and turn off my alarm clock. I have been awake for about an hour now but have just been too lazy to get out of bed. It’s the middle of February and it has been snowing hard for the past 3 weeks. I grab a sweat shirt and my basket ball bag and then go down the hall to the best smelling kitchen. My mom’s asleep on the couch. I kiss her, grab a waffle then head out the door to the bus stop. I feel like today is going to be a long day. Lucy and I have to get started on our chemistry project because it is due in 4 days. I’m going to have to convince her that we need to go to her house so we can work on it because we are no way coming here when she probably has a house 10 times the size as mine. And she doesn’t have an 8 year old brother that she shares a room with.
I am counting on seeing Lucy when I walk into the school but I really can’t really find her. As I pass through the hall I see Matt. He pats me on the back and keeps walking. The bus was a little late today, so right as I get to my locker the bell rings. I make it to my first class on time but I can’t help but worry about Lucy. My schedule today is boring. I have AP English first, second AP psychology, then lunch, then Chemistry (I don’t know why I am just taking regular Chemistry instead of AP), then last Calculus. It’s a normal day for me though but I know I am going to be brain dead by the end of the day. After school is when the fun begins. Basketball practices are always cool because we really just fool around till Coach yells at us.
