The goal // Adam Banks

11

"How was practice?" the father of Adam asked as we were on our way back home. "It was good, Kate even participated and scored while Julie was on goal," Adam said. "You did? Well done Kate, the only person in the team who scored against Julie is Adam here" Philip proudly said. "I didn't know. Adam! Why didn't you tell me?" I asked as I turned to face Adam. "Don't know. Didn't think it was important I guess" he shrugged. "It isn't, but it is fun to know," I said. Adam nodded and shot a smile at me.

"So will you be joining the team?" Philip asked. I froze, I mean it was just one practice and yeah it was fun to do but am I joining their team? Am I even allowed to? Adam noticed my uncomfortablality and answered for me. "Katie did one practice and she was good but our team is full already but maybe as a backup?" he said as he looked at me to get a confirmation for the last sentence. I nodded and Philip said that he wasn't doubting about me being good. He said he could see it at the start even though he hasn't seen me play. I laughed it off and for the rest of the car ride, we were silently enjoying the car ride with soft music in the background playing.

When we arrived back home Philip drove me to my house and we said our goodbyes. "So how was ice hockey practice? Was it fun to watch?" my mom asked when we were eating dinner. "Ice Hockey practice? Did I miss something?" my dad asked. We all started chuckling after. "Ehm so dad, I met this boy called Adam Banks and he plays ice hockey and I went to their practice today" I explained. My dad nodded and looked at me with a look that says: 'who is Adam Banks I want to meet him'. I ignored it completely and went further. "And mom I thought I was going to watch their ice hockey practice but their coach asked me if I could skate and I somehow ended up joining their practice. It was fun to do and I also scored, Adams's dad told me that Adam was the only one who ever scored against that goalkeeper from the team." I explained with a smile on my face.

"Wow, sounds like a good day. Are you thinking of joining the team?" my mom asked. I shook my head, "No, the team is full already but maybe as a backup? I don't know to be honest". "That's okay but congrats on scoring a goal," my dad said with a smile on his face. "Thanks, dad," I said. After I finished eating dinner I went upstairs and saw that I had a message from Adam.

Did you have fun today?

Kate
Yeah, I did :).  Something different than being at home all the time doing nothing.

Banksy :)
Yeah definitely, coach Bombay always has surprises so you never know what you are going to do until he tells you haha.

Kate
Yeah he seems like a good but fun coach though

Banksy :)
He is! But what are your plans for tomorrow?

Kate
I don't have plans :)

Banksy :)
Want to go skating somewhere? Without the pressure of practice? Just for fun?

Kate

After I told Adam I would see him tomorrow for skating I quickly searched for my skates. I haven't skated for a long time but they still should fit. After searching for about an hour I gave up. I was frustrated and searched everywhere. All my clothes were piled up on my bed and my room was a mess.

I decided to clean my room up and throw things away that I don't have to keep anymore. Especially clothes, I have so many of them and half isn't wearable anymore for me. I've grown out of them or they are just worn and you can see the wear. While I was making piles of what to keep and want I don't want to keep I came across this cute dark green long-sleeved knit top. It was adorable and I forgot I had it. I tried it on to see if it still fits and it did. I decided I would wear that one to go skating with Adam tomorrow with a belt and black skinny jeans that are comfortable.

After I was done, I went to bed since it was late already.
