I love multi-tasking, and I'd say I'm pretty good at it. Holding a conversation via text message while doing homework at the same time—that takes skill. Although it didn't take as much skill this time, considering Emmett was only responding to me when he had a water break. The bad news was that he couldn't really tell me what was going on between Cooper and Owen; the good news was that he was willing to talk about pretty much anything else. I smiled when Emmett finally responded to my last text:
Emmett: Haha are u serious? he texted.
Me: Of course im serious. One thing I never joke about is how much i love the la galaxy
Emmett: How can u like the galaxy over chivas usa? Chivas is the best soccer team in mls hands down.
It took a while for Emmett to respond again, so he probably had to get back to practicing.
Me: first of all i grew up watching la galaxy games w/ my brothers so theyve always been my fav and second theyve won back 2back mls cups so they clearly r the best team...plus chivas sucks
Emmett: Penny idk if this friendship is gonna work if u dont like chivas haha
Me: well idk if its gonna work if you dont like the galaxy
Emmett: marcus says he agrees with me
Me: well i bet owen would agree with me. And coach kherrington
Emmett: Fine penny, u no wat well just talk about this later today when we meet up
Me: ...
I was wondering what Emmett was gonna say to my dot dot dot. I had to wait again to get another text from Emmett.
Emmett: ?
Emmett: Wat does ... mean?
Me: I cant hang out with u guys 2nite
Emmett: Y?
Me: B/c my bros are making me do my hw at their house
Emmett: oh that sucks
Me: yeah
Emmett: so can u hang out after? Or atleast get dinner w/ us?
Me: prob not i have to eat dinner with my bros
Emmett: aw thats annoying
Emmett: unless u like eating with them,then thats cool haha
Me: i dont mind eating w/ them sometimes,but eating with them every night is kinda annoying
I actually got a page of math problems done by the next time Emmett texted me.
Emmett: wait so this isn't a one time thing? U dont live with them do u?
Me: no thank goodness! Theyre just pissed at me right now so i dont think theyll let me go anywhere, but yeah family dinner happens every night
Emmett: aw if they werent my teachers id tell them to lighten up
Emmett: actually maybe not ur bros kinda scare me haha
Me: haha yeah they have their scary moments
Emmett: speaking of ur scary bros coach k is out here now so i gotta be more sneaky with my texts
Me: haha ok. dont get caught!
The rest of the times Emmett texted me were really sporadic, so I was able to get a lot of my homework done.
Emmett: man coach is making owen run for all of practice
Me: Wat? Y?
Emmett: idk he didnt say ... and I didn't wanna ask and be forced 2 join him theres still a lot of practice left haha
Me: haha thats probably smart
Emmett: so then wait ... since i have these long practices and u go to ur bros house, can we not hang out together afterschool ever?
Me: well i mean we can hang out before I have to go to my bros house for dinner
Emmett: i have soccer practice and that lasts until dinnertime
Me: damn thats right i totally forgot
Emmett: well maybe u can come watch practice sometimes
Me: ... Id love to, but idk if cooper would like that all that much
Emmett: Y?
Me: B/c hed freak out if he knew i was going to watch u
Emmett: just say ur going to watch u love soccer so much and know so much about it it wouldnt be that unbelievable
Me: thats actually a really good idea
Emmett: cool (:
Emmett: and u def have 2 go 2 our games
Me: those ill def be at
Emmett: good (:
Me: o ...
Emmett: o wat?
Me: ur 1 of those ppl who do their smilies like that
Emmett: smilies like what?
Me: backwards

Me: smilies are supposed to go not (:
Emmett: says who?
Me: says me
Me: and the official emoticon police
Emmett: haha there arent official emoticon police
Me: there should be ... and i should be chief of police

Emmett: haha penny u r something else
Me: is that a good thing?
Emmett: la galaxy fan, anti (: smilies,emoticon chief of police ... not sure if it's a good thing for everybody but for u it works
I smiled.
Me: well if we all were chivas loving, (: making people, life would b boring
Emmett: fair enough
I completely finished my biology homework by the next time Emmett texted me.
Emmett: we got let out of practice bad ur stuck at ur bros.
Me: of course today is the one day u get out early and im stuck here. Y did practice end early b/c it's the first day?
Emmett: no ... b/c owen fainted.
My heart skipped a beat.
Me: WAT?! OMG IS HE OKAY?!
Emmett: Yeah hes fine, he just got up and hes with coach k. Sorry i didnt text u earlier but i didnt actually know it was owen until a little while ago, and i didnt want to scare u in case i was other coaches kept us doing drills on the other side of the field while cooper went and got the medic, but they just now cancelled practice.
I knew that it was now my turn to text something, but all I could think about was checking up on Owen. I knew that it'd be stupid for me to leave the house, especially since my gut was telling me that that was why Dana and Ben left the house in such a rush. So the first thing I did was call Owen's cell phone.
I waited...
And waited...
And waited for him to pick up ...
But I got his voicemail.
I wasn't surprised when he didn't answer, but I figured it was worth a shot. So the next thing I did was call the only other brother I figured wouldn't hang up on me: Cooper
