“sorry I was late, I had to go home and let out my neighbors dog…” I explained to my softball coach after being ten minutes late for practice and the team was sitting on the bench

“I thought you had to take home your neighbor” he told me in a stern voice

“no, I had to let out their dog…and it’s my job so I had to go…sorry if you’re pissed at me”

“Carlin, I’m not pissed at you…”

“well you always yell at me for nearly everything and it’s not my fault”

“I yell at you for things that are your fault!” he yelled at me

“well I didn’t do anything” I snapped at him then I rolled my eyes “you’re just being rude and an ass hole…”

“then be at practice on time and quit mouthing off Carlin” he snapped then I got up “yeah! Leave! And turn your shit in to Mr. Bryan I’m done with you!” he yelled then I got into my car and sped off back home.

My mom made me come back to practice and I was in tears after that. She talked to my coach and I stayed and finished practice. After practice, Ashley was walking out of the trainers room and she came to walk with me to my car “hey…” she said “…babe what’s wrong?” she asked putting her arm around me

“my coach told me to turn in my shit after he kicked me off the team and yelled at me in front of everyone and I didn’t even do anything” I told her “she lied in front of my mom and I’m so sick of this shit…” I explained and she turned around wanting to go fight with my coach “Ashley…Ashley stop” I told her “just walk me to my car”

“yeah” she replied following me to my car and we stood there “can we get inside?” she asked

“mhmm” I said unlocking it and we got inside and she sat there quiet “now you have nothing to say?” I asked her

“if I say anything you’ll yell at me…” she replied

“I just yelled at you out there because I didn’t want you to fight my softball coach…” I explained then my phone went off
