The next morning I woke up, feeling complete for the first time since the night of the premiere.
Seeing Walker-even if it were only for a few hours-had recharged my battery. And, he and all my friends were coming to my volleyball game later.
I got up and checked my phone, seeing that Abby had posted something and Keith, Walker, Momona, Javon, and McKenna had reposted it and added it to their Instagram stories.
I quickly checked my phone, smiling at the picture I remember Daniel taking.
(You gonna have to do me a solid and pretend there's 8 people in this photo)

I laughed at my friend's conversation and smiled when I remembered I'd be seeing them all soon.
I quickly texted Coach Heather to figure out which Jersey we'd be wearing for the game, since we have 3 official ones.
One was white with black numbers and our last names across the back, one was black with white numbers and our last names on the back, and one was white with green numbers and our names on the back.
Heather told me that we'd be wearing our black ones, since the team we're playing today have white jerseys.
I quickly showered and brushed my hair before I put on deodorant. I pulled on my black jersey, quickly changing into my Nike pros before throwing some sweats on over them and combing my hair back into a ponytail.
I quickly got my volleyball bag out of my closet, packing a hoodie, freshly washed knee pads, and a change of socks in the main pocket.
I put a few extra hair ties in the smaller pocket just in case, along with my hairbrush and friendship bracelets from the group.
I went downstairs, filling up my large water bottle and grabbing my volleyball shoes out of the shoe closet downstairs before heading back to my room, ignoring my mom's attempts at getting me to come eat lunch with my dad.
