I had one unread email from firebirds; I was scared to open it. This would determine whether I would be playing for firebirds next year or if I would be stuck here.

Dear Leyna,

Thank you for trialling with the firebirds. We would love to have you on the team next year, you have a lot of skill. We look forward to seeing you at training, the first training is the 12th of December and we will figure out trainings from there. The first game you will play is the 12th of January. See you soon.

Sincerely, Firebirds.

I was so excited, I couldn’t believe it. I was going to be playing for the firebirds! I crawled into bed and dreamed about playing for them, I was so happy.

In the morning I ran to the kitchen and told dad.

‘I am so happy for you chum!’ dad said scuffing up my hair

‘Chum?’

‘It sounds cool to say’

‘Yeah it does’ I laughed

I made breakfast and walked into the lounge room, Niall was watching SpongeBob Square pants.

‘My favourite show!’ I said excitedly sitting next to Niall

By the time the show had finished, all the boys were in the lounge room.

‘I have good news’ I said smiling

They all looked at me waiting

‘I got accepted into the firebirds!’

Everyone cheered

‘First game is the 12th of January’ I smiled

‘I am so happy for you’ Niall said hugging me

‘I am so excited’

‘We will definitely have to come to games ‘Louis said happily

I went up to my room and then I saw Liam standing at my door, he walked in and closed the door.

‘About the kiss last night’ he started

‘Liam, it was nothing. I mean it was something but it can’t be anything, I am going to be away playing netball for a year. I will have breaks on weekends but that’s about it.’

‘I want you to stay here and be my girlfriend again’

‘This is a once in a lifetime thing Liam, I can’t give it up’

‘I know but I really love you Leyna and I don’t want to lose you’

I didn’t know what to say, he wanted me to give up my dream of playing for the firebirds. He is asking me to give up something I have always wanted to do, I worked hard for it. I didn’t know if I wanted to be with Liam again and I certainly didn’t want to give up this chance.

‘Liam, I can’t. I am going to play for the firebirds.’ I said

‘Oh okay, well have fun’ he said walking out

I just sat on my bed and looked out the window, I still love Liam. I really do, but to give up my dreams for something that may not work, I couldn’t do that. Corbin rang asking if I was free tonight, he is going to a party and he wants to take me as his plus one.

I got ready and then walked to the lounge room and saw a girl sitting in the lounge room by herself.

‘Uh, hi’ I said

‘Hi’ she said cheery

‘I’m Leyna’

‘I’m Emily, Liam’s date’

He moved on that quickly after what he asked me to do just a couple of months ago, wow.

‘Hi Emily’ I smiled then walked to the kitchen

I saw Niall and Liam making drinks

I grabbed my keys and went to leave; before I did I turned around to face Liam.

‘Your date seems nice, better not leave her for too long thought. Bye’ I smiled and walked out

There were so many people at the party, most of them were drunk. I was happy to get away, get my mind off everything, and forget about Liam.

Wait, forget that.

I looked to my right and I saw Liam and his date, Emma? Emily? Emily, that’s the one. Liam saw me and walked off in the opposite direction. Corbin came back with two drinks and then once we had drunk them we started dancing, I wasn’t going to get smashed tonight but I would still drink.

Forget that too.

I was smashed; the drinks were strong, stronger than I thought. Not many people were left and I couldn’t find Corbin. I was alone, and for some reason I was sitting on the front yard. I had no idea what was happening, I saw someone walk towards me. It was Liam, what did he want?

‘Leyna, I will take you home. Come-on’ he said helping me up

‘Where’s Corbin?’ I asked

‘I don’t know where he is’

‘I have to find him’

‘You can tomorrow’

‘But what if what if SpongeBob eats him’

Liam let out a little laugh

‘That’s not something to laugh about Mr Payneicles. It is a serious matter, he could be turned into a patty krabby, I mean a krabby patty.’

‘You are drunk’

‘No silly, you are drunk’

I suddenly stopped in my tracks and gasped

‘Liam!’ I whispered loudly ‘You are drunk, oh no you aren’t meant to drink. Quick let’s get you home!’

We got home and then I flopped onto the couch and fell asleep.
