I can’t remember my life before I met her. Ha. Just kidding.  I ca, but I just like telling people that.  It sounds better, but don’t ask me why. I do know this: before I met her, talked to her, looked at her, my life had no meaning, it was dull and pathetic and boring and well it just sucked. That sounds pretty dramatic, but it’s the truth. Let me tell you how it began and how it ended up where it is now. One thing is for sure, our love is  like no other.

“This sucks anissa!” Spencer carlin complained o her best friend

“What? What does?” she asked as they were walking to sit in the quad.

“We’re juniors! Juniors! This place sucks. Everything’s all old. The people, the food, the whole routine is old!.. and we still have next year to go. Ahhh” she complained

“ohh boo- whoo. Get over yourself carlin. She dumped you. Who cares? She was just like blehh anyways, and technically the people aren’t old, cuz there is some fresh meat wandering around. We all know how much you love them! Haha!”  anissa couldn’t help but laugh

“blehh? You’re so weird. Okay! In my defense she was gorgeous and nice! And she was a sophomore!” spencer defended herself “we need something bigger and better”

“Hey! Can’t you play softball this year?” anissa asked. Spencer put her head down

“Yea”

“What’s wrong?” she asked concerned

“I’m scared” she confessed

“Sweetie, you’ll do fine. Just try-out, next week. I promise you, you’ll do fine, okay?”

“ok.” Anissa leaned over and hugged her friend

— Day of try-outs—

“Are you nervous?” anissa asked spencer as she watched her stretch

“Yea, a little.”

“You’ll be great. I’ll be sitting in the bleachers if you need me just wave me over” she patted spencers back and walked away

Try –outs  were going well for spencer. She caught every groundball and pop fly that went in her direction. She was on fire. She was sitting on the field tring to get her best friends attention in the bleachers, waving like she was told. She happened to look down and to the right and that is when she first saw her.
