Don't Go Through Life Without Field Goals

Texting With An Idea?

I laid on my bed, my phone in my hand. I just stared at the blank screen, a bored look plastered on my face. I unlocked the screen on my phone and went to my phone book. I found Austin's number and sent him a text.

Me: Hey....

I waited for him to reply. He never takes longer than a minute, but this time I waited two minutes and still no reply. I sighed, locking my screen, again. I started rubbing my forehead.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

I unlocked my phone as quick as possible and saw a text from Austin.

Austin: Sorry couldnt find my fone.

Me: Its fine.....

Austin: Wuts wrong?? /:

Me: Matt...

Austin: Wuts wrong w/ Matt??

Me: He goin into depression... Doctor put him on pills..

Austin: WUT?!?!?!

Me: Yepp...

Austin: Y???

Me: I think its Nicole... He left her & been like this evr sence...

Austin: Y he leave her??

Me: Ill explain l8er.. Gtg. C ya @ practice...

Austin: Ok, c ya.. & cheer up, girl! Dont need u so upset! Dont want u hittin me n head w/ ball! :) By

I smiled, remembering that day.

Me: Ok, fine.. :) By

I went to Nicole's number and started typing.

Me: We need 2 talk. Got practice l8er, so it need 2 b ASAP.

I waited a full minute before I got a reply.

Nicole: Fine... Ill txt u n min.

Me: Ok.

I waited three minutes before I got a call. I answered it.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey." Nicole greeted me. "Did you say you wanted to talk to me?"

"Yeah, I'm gonna invite Rikki, a girl from football, over tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to come over, too. It'll be a big sleepover." I explained. I waited a little while before she sighed.

"Connie, if this is a trick to try and get me and Matt together, it's not gonna work." She said. I crossed my fingers behind my back.

"Don't worry, it's not. I just need a. . . Girl's night out. Maybe we could get some pizza and stay up all night watching Teen Wolf or Hollywood Heights." I assured her. It was silent for a while.

"A girl's night out?" She questioned.

"Yes. A girl's night out is exactly what I need." I told her. She waited a while before speaking.

"Alright, fine. When do you want me to come over?" She asked. I celebrated, silently, to myself.

"My dad will come get you after practice." I said.

"Okay. I'll go pack." She said.

"Okay, bye."

"Bye." She hung up and I sent a quick text to Rikki.

Me: Wanna come ovr 4 sleepovr??

She, immediately, texts back.

Rikki: Sure!! :) Who all gonna b there??

Me: U me & friend.

Rikki: Ok, sounds good! When u want me 2 come??

Me: U can ride home w/ me, after practice.

Rikki: Alright, ill go pack!! :) C ya!

Me: By!! :)

I tossed my phone in my bag and smiled to myself. This is perfect.
