When Heather was 13 her whole family died in a car crash. She was away at summer camp and she left it early to come home. She had plenty of family to take her in but no one wanted her. Her father coached basketball at the school he taught at for man...
When I opened the door I came face to face with Tucker. "Tucker what the heck are you doing at my house?"
"Your father invited my family over for dinner."
I opened the door the rest of the way and let them in. Tucker's parents and little sister walked in but Tucker stayed behind.
"Myers can I finally ask you that question now?"
"Go for it."
"Will you please go out with me? I know you don't date anyone but I really think we would be good together. Just go on one date with me and if you hate it we can just be friends."
I was so taken by surprise that it took me a minute to answer "Jesse-"
"Heather go change and hurry back down. Dinner is almost ready." My mother called from the kitchen.
"Okay. I'll be right back."
I made my way back up to my room and changed into a grey shirt with a flannel and jeans.

I arrived back down stairs to see everyone seated. The only seat left was right next to Tucker. I took my seat and dinner began. Soon after my dad began conversation.
"Jesse I have noticed you haven't committed to any school yet and was wondering if you would be willing to play for me at UPenn. We have a really good chance to win it all in the coming years. We have a great freshman class coming in and a good core group staying. I think you would make us even better" Even if I wanted to date Tucker now I couldn't. Not if he is on my dad's team.
"I'm not sure if I could get into a school like Penn." Tucker responds
"Jesse have some faith in yourself you are really smart and have really good grades." Mrs.Tucker
"Jesse I have seen your grades and I know I could get you in." My dad adds
"Tucker I think you would really like the team. They're a great group of guys. They're like a whole bunch of big brothers to me." As soon as I said this I saw Tucker's smile flatten.
"I would love to come and join the team for a practice before I make any decision. If that is okay with you?" Tucker asked
"Of course it is. I know it is a really big decision to make."
We all went back to eating. All I could think about now was what I was going to do about Tucker asking me out. I just don't know what to do about it. My head is spinning. I was so zoned out that I didn't hear my dad say my name.
"What did you just say dad sorry I wasn't paying attention."
"Jesse hear was just telling me that you were playing wall ball after school today." I sent a glare Tucker's way. "You know you can't be putting strain on your leg or you will be out of lacrosse for way longer than you want to be."
