media type="custom" key="2990952" Another grueling night.It had to be one of the hardest nights for my physically, mentally, and emotionally I've had in a long time. A two hour soccer practice wears anyone down, especially somone who works as hard as me. Running so many sprints to work my teammates and I back into shape for the season. Drilling us hard and long until we all get back into form. Scrimmaging against one another, trying to prove to our coaches who the best is. One water break throughout the whole practice, so I ended up chugging half my water and dumped the other half onto my head. The cold liquid streaming down my face feels so good. But I am grateful when practice finally ends and I get to go home. I eat really quickly in the car and shower as fast as I can so I can get on Halo 3 and play with my best friend Kelly for a few hours before she goes to bed. I knew I was in for another emotional and mentally challenged night. Once I was signed onto Xbox Live, a message appears on the top of my television screen. It says "KELLYkrbstomp wants to play." A huge smile crosses my face and I accept her invite without hesitation. As soon as I enter the room, she greets me with her usual "Hey cutie, how are you doing tonight?" "I'm doing alright, yah know, can't complain," I reply back to her. "That's good, I'm glad to hear it!" she says. "Well I'm glad that you're glad to hear it," I tell her. She begins to laugh and for some reason cannot stop herself from laughing for a few minutes, This has become a norm for the two of us. We've grown so close to one another, that even the stupidest things have become funny to each other. The usual happens when we play together. We play the game just the two of us, like normal, talking and laughing, having a good time, owning some bad kids over Xbox Live. This goes on for another three hours until she finally admits that she is tired. "Well if you're tired babe, you need to get your rest and head on to bed baby," I tell her. "Ok John, I'm going to bed stud, I'll talk to you tomorrow sexy," she replies. I smile the huge smile I usually get when we sweet talk to one another. I reply back to her "Ok Kelly, go to sleep. Good night honey, sweet dreams beautiful, talk to you tomorrow you gorgeous girl." She yawns into her microphone and tells me that she needs to tell me one more thing before she goes to sleep. "What is it darling?" I ask her softly. She gives her little giggle that she always does right before she says the three biggest words a woman can say to another man and vice versa. She tells me sweetly and softly "John...I Iove you." I get the biggest smile on my face that I've ever seen before. I immediately reply back to her without hesitation "Kelly...I love you too." She giggles to herself and signs off of Xbox Live. I turn off my system and get into bed, my mind racing and my heart beating fast. It's been a long time since I've heard those words come out of a girl's mouth that wasn't related to me. It has been three years since the end of eighth grade since I heard those words come out of a girl's mouth and that girl truly mean it with all her heart. I wake up the next day and I go through my usual routine of putting on my leg, getting dressed, brushing my teeth, putting on my deodorant, and using the toilet before heading out the door. The first day of school flies by. I got to meet my new classmates and my new teachers for my senior and last year of high school! Before I knew it, the day ended and I made my way home. The bus ride was the same as usual from the year before. The same people, the same seats, the same jokes, the same laughs. Everything is the same and it made me comfortable. I got home from school and I felt my phone vibrating against my leg. I took my phone out of my pocket and I look to see you is calling me. I read the name "Kellykurbstomp." Immediately my heart fills with joy and I get a huge smile on my face. "Hello," I say. "Hey you. What are you doing tonight?" she asks. "Nothing whatsoever hun, why?" I question her. "I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with me tonight at your house. Brielle can drive me there and we can chill for a while if you want to." My heart feels like it's about to explode with happiness. "Of course!" I yell a little too loud by accident. She giggles and has me give her the directions from her town to my house. I immediately rush over to my computer and map quest the directions for her. It will take about an hour for her to get to me. It was perfect. My parents weren't going to be home for the night and the girl of my dreams was coming over to hang out for the night with ME! I realize that I am running short on time, so I rush around my house, trying to pick up everywhere, trying to make my house presentable. After I finish cleaning, I rush to eat a quick meal then I hop in and out of the shower. I brush my teeth and reapply my deodorant and use the toilet. I wash my hands and spray a little bit of this cologne my cousin Nicole bought me that she loves on her boyfriend. I throw on my hat and rush outside to wait for her. I start to shoot around a basketball on the hoop in front of my house. trying to calm myself down and loosen myself up. Of course, it didn't work. My phone begins to vibrate and I answer my cell phone. It is her of course. She says to me "Is that you in the red shirt and blue jeans in the street?" I turn to my left and I see an unfamiliar car heading towards me. But I knew what that meant. I was about to meet the girl of my dreams in person for the first time. My hands were shaking and my knees were wobbly. But I somehow managed to keep my composure. The car stops in front of my mailbox and comes to an instant half. She steps out of the front passenger seat and turns toward me. My mouth drops in absolute shock. This girl was a trillion times prettier in person!!! She sees my expression and smiles and begins to laugh. I walk over to her and she walks over to me and we embrace in a giant hug. The hug could have lasted a life time, we were so happy to see each other. "John Tash, up front and personal, in person," she says to me. "Hell yea. I didn't know the most beautiful girl in the world would be coming to my house today," I reply back to her. She smiles and laughs and introduces me to her girl best friend, Brielle. I politely shake her hand and gives a nod in her direction but I am in no way paying attention to this girl. I just could not keep my eyes off of my best friend. I could not keep my eyes off of Kelly Bishop.
