Almost everyone seem to have a pretty good story to tell from time to time, wether real or not. For stories that are real, most of them are believable, while others don't seem so believable. You can even say that my story is unbelievable, which is why I never did tell anyone about it, until now that is. I guess a good place to start this story would be where it all began. It was a chilly afternoon in the month of Febuary.

"Yo Stevie," a voice called from a distance behind me. I turn to see who it is.
"Hey Mike, how's it going?" I asked the kid in the leather jacket.
"Eh, same as always, were you headin'?"
"Today's baseball tryouts, I've been practicing for a while now and I sure hope I make the team."
"Well good luck with that. Anyway, have you ask you know who to you know what?" he asked, trying to keep what we were talking about some sort of mystery.
"No, and don't you think it's to soon? She just broke up with her boyfriend. I don't think she'd want to date."
"Trust me, it's now or never, she's the prettiest girl in school, and guys will be all over her now that's she's single. It won't be long until she finds a new boyfriend, and who knows how long it will take for them to break up, that is "IF" they break up." This had to have been one of Mike's ways of persuasion. I've known him long enough to know it when I see it, and apperently it was working.
"Alright then, you think I can't ask her out, well then just wait and see cause I'm gonna ask her TODAY!" I felt so confident in myself just from saying that, kinda like a small victory.
"Well you better hurry, your love clock is ticking," I don't know if that was suppose to worrie me, or to just simply mock me.
"Whatever, anyway I have to go, catch you later."
"Alright, and remember, tick tock tick tock." Now I know he was mocking me, but I ignored it and turned and walked away.
Looking down at my watch, I started to pick up the pace knowing I was running late. Not looking to where I was going, I accidentally bumped into someone, knocking both of us on the floor. After getting my bearings in order, I looked to see who it was, and of all people, it was the girl of my dreams! Aw crud!
"Oh man, Jenny are you ok?"
"Oh yea, I'm fine. Sorry, I was in a rush and wasn't paying attention," she said as I helped her pick up her books.
"Yea me too. Hey, is it ok if talk to you tomorrow at lunch?"
"Yea sure, listen I gotta go, catch you later!" She then sped off into the opposite direction that I came from. I just stood there looking at how amazing she was. Suddenly remembering about my tryouts, I turned and started off again. Now that the hallways were becoming empty, it was easier to get to my destination.

Baseballs tryouts went pretty well if you ask me. Doing simple routines and stuff to see how good I was. I hope I make it cause this could be my one chance of no longer being a nobody. Once they were finally over, I went home, eager to find out if I made the team or not. On my arrival back to house, I come home to find out that nobody was home. Laying my stuff down, all exhausted from the previous hours, I look around to find a note left on the fridge.
"Stevie, went out to by some groceries. Fix up something with what we already have. Be back soon. Love, Mom"
Great, who nows how long that will take. Putting the note down, I checked to see what was in the fridge. I wasn't surprised to find nothing good in it. Moving on to the cabinets, I got the same results.
Great, now I'm gonna starve to death 'til my mom gets back!
I went to the living room to watch tv, while starving at the same time. Just then the phone rang. I picked it up to see who it is.
"Hello?"
"Stevie?"
"Mike?!"
"Stevie! How's it going?"
"Not much, just starving to death!"
"Well that's not cool. Anyway, how'd it go?"
"It went well, I'm a little tired but I just hope I make the team!"
"No not that, did you ask Jenny out yet?"
"No, I mean I couldn't cause well I kinda bumped into her and plus she was in hurry so it was bad timing, but I did ask her if we could talk at lunch tomorrow."
"Well you better hurry up cause there's a good chance that she'll already have a date tomorrow."
"I'm sure she won't," I told him, trying to shed some light on my situation.
"Well remember, tick tock tick tock!" he said mockingly as he hung up the phone. Now it was starting to feel that Mike is dimming the light.

I sat there for a while until I notice out the window that a car pulled up. Lucky for me, it was my mom who had just came back from shopping, which was good considering how hungry I was. I helped my mom with the bags as she was coming in.
"Hey sweetie, sorry I'm late , you hungry?"
"You have no idea."
"I new you were going to say that, which is why I brought you some hot pockets. You can eat on those while I get dinner ready, and I better hurry before your father gets home."
"Ok" I said as I placed some hot pockets into the microwave. Once they were ready, I quickly divoured them all. Finally feeling satisfied, I thanked my mom and went to my room. Laying down on the bed, I looked up at the ceiling, just thinking about the outcomes that will happen later on. After all the stuff that's happened to day, I think it's safe to say that it's been a hard day.
