Field of Schemes
““Last chance to get it from the car. From here on in it’s you, me and the woods.” She rolled her eyes and told me she didn’t need it.
A few minutes into our walk, I told her that I was pleased with her spring report card. I had a definite agenda for us—refocus on things other than soccer. Since the first tryout, all Rachel wanted to talk about was soccer. All I could think about was soccer. As much as Rachel wanted to make the Kix team, I wanted it for her more. Not so much for the soccer, ...but because it gave Rachel such purpose. If she was a normal adolescent, this would be important. Considering she’d recently lost her father, soccer was a lifeline.
When we didn’t get a call right away, I dialed Preston to see if Rachel was invited to callbacks. I tried to act cool and tell him that I was “just getting our schedule together” and wanted to see if we should block out time for tryouts, or do something else equally fabulous.MoreLess
