The ride to Waden middle school was antagonizing. He was anxious but that didn’t kill his un confident spirit. He felt as if a unknown voice was telling him to follow through, to not give up, to beat the snot out of Dusty. The bus ride felt like an infinity of time. Like an hour glass tipped over but no sand falling. He sat there with the feeling close to his heart. He was unbearably nervous. Finally, he arrived at school and was the last off the bus. The walk to the door of the school was almost impossible he felt as if he was an ant among giants. His primary hour was long, the future seemed distance. Georges anxiety caught up with him and the forty minutes felt like it was years. Finally, he walked out of the classroom to the bland hallways with orange lockers white ceilings and white tile.

The rainy days of Spring were replaced with the sweltering heat of the Summer, and hearing the clink of a baseball hit a bat in the Summer had become a tradition for almost five years. My older brother Dakota had spent those years being bombarded by sweat, mud, and the encouragement of his family, friends, and coaches when the team needed to hit a ball or when he wanted to show off how much better he had gotten since the last season. We were all ready for the season to be over so that we could plan our almost yearly trip to Virginia to visit our Aunt, Uncle, and our almost overwhelming blue-eyed cousins, Liam and Carlile. When the baseball season had come to a happy--or sad--ending, we would plan the trip and be piling into the car within the next week or two, to go on the getaway…
