That Was When We Were 7
Chappie 5- A bit of soccer for the healthy
It was decided before that we played one more soccer match before I left to go back home…and confess to Adam that we shouldn’t be in a relationship anymore because of distance and that he would be happier having me as a burden lifted off his back. I was all muddy after changing into my soccer uniform and doing a girls vs boys games, in the end no one won but the girls took it as an advantage when I ‘seduced’ Adam at the time he was goal keeper and Courtney scored a goal thanks to the other team. We were so evil. So in the end I guess we technically won but all’s fair in love and war.
~*~*~*~
It was just Adam and I now. Kaley said she would be waiting in the shed with Courtney, Alyssa, Cana, Haley, Jaime and Bailey, all of my closest friends and team mates. Adam and I were walking across the field an awkward atmosphere was around us. Kaley told me to just tell him straight otherwise not telling him and just walking is just well really, really awkward. I opened my mouth but no sound came out so I closed it again before he noticed I look like a gaping fish.
“What time are you leaving for London?” he asked, it definitely broke a little bit of the awkward atmosphere.
“Around 5:30ish pm. So I will be arriving somewhere in the early afternoon when I get to London! It’s going to be really tiring though especially after eating their little snacks that belong up the back…” I started mumbling and I must have been drooling because Adam started laughing and wrapped his arm around my waist pulling me closer next to him. I blushed and looked ahead, the trees were calm and content and not a single leaf moved which was pretty creepy now that you think about it.
After about an hour’s talk of how we should break up because of long distant relationships are too difficult and how I would be a burden of his ‘love’ life and that he would find someone better he finally agreed after a very and extremely long persuasive argument about how I wouldn’t be a burden at all and how he would always love me and never forget me. It was emotional and I started to cry a bit but he kissed my tears away and promised that he would say goodbye to me before I really left to London.
I felt miserable and depressed but my friends cheered me up on the spot once I returned to the shed. Adam had given me the last kiss cheesy shit before he left back home even after offering me a lift but I declined saying I still had friends in the shed waiting for me. Everyone pounced on me once I had walked into the shed before opening the door, hugging me and telling me it’s going to be okay. I wanted to cry but nothing came out. I realised that I felt really dehydrated so I grabbed the closest water bottle near me and chugged till there was not a single remain of even a drip of water.
“You’re welcome sweetheart!” Jaime said sarcastically as I handed her back the bottle and she gave the bottle a light shake to hear nothing at all.
“Sorry Jaime I was thirsty as and haven’t had a drink since…” I counted my fingers before continuing “At least 3 hours ago?” I half-heartedly chuckled and she smiled walking towards the tap and filling her bottle up.
“Oh my god I have the best and most perfect idea ever!” Cana squealed and jumped onto my back.
“Oh do tell!”I giggled heaving Cana up my back and spinning around.
“Let’s go to the beach!” Cana shouted throwing her hands up in the air and making me stumble a bit. I crouched down and pushed her onto the seat.
“Beach really? I don’t even have my swimwear here!” everyone shouted.
“Remember that time we all went to the beach after soccer practice? Did anyone actually leave their swimwear in their locker or their sports bag?” Cana questioned stroking her chin.
Everyone looked at each other and ran to their locker, opening it and searching through their belongings. I just watched cos I knew that I had brought mine home to wash otherwise it would smell…like fish.
“Woooh I have my swimmers here still!” a couple of them squealed and packed it into their bags.
“Soooo how many people exactly have their swimmers?” I asked looking at everyone’s raised hands. I sighed and nodded.
“I don’t have mine so I guess I will buy some new ones then, I need new ones anyways” I happily sang the last part of my sentence.
“I’m going to give my mum a call first so she knows that I am going somewhere else now” I pulled out my phone and dialled my mum while the others did the same.
“Hello?”
“Hai mummy it’s me can I go to the beach? Some of my friends want to go before I leave so I can enjoy the last parts of ‘Australia’s beach feel’” I did a hand quotation mark in the air.
“Mmmm alright sweetie just be back home by 6 at night alright no later than that and NO excuses!”
“Roger that! No later than 6 at night no excuses whatsoever! Byeeee mummy love you lots like jelly tots!” I saluted the air.
I heard her chuckle on the other end before saying bye and hanging up. I smiled and looked at the others, all eager to go to the beach.
“I can goooo yaaay” I cheered jumping up on the benches and showing off my amazing dance skills. Bitches can’t dance like I can.
Everyone laughed and attempted to pull me off the bench.
“No peasants it’s called swagalicious!” I balanced myself and walked in a gangsta way. Who knew I was so cool? Wait I knew that already. I don’t need to tell myself that…again.
“Come on Libby let’s go to the beach before we run out of time! Let’s goooo let’s goooo!!!” Cana pulled at my arm and walked out the door with everyone following behind us.
