Cool

Moments The lovely warm sun provides a comfortable essence on my pale skin and beams on my white-blond hair. I glance around at the typical atmosphere of my school at lunchtime; children bustling about scurrying past me, and balls flying in the air.

My fingers slip on the keys during cool night rehearsals where the condensation gathers mischievously in the location it should not. I forgot my jacket on the day determined to dip below forty degrees; the player in front of me lent his jacket to his girlfriend but Will wears vests. During the break, whoever was kind enough would lend me their sweater until the next break. It was a regular stadium rehearsal that lasted two and a half hours but it was longest rehearsal I’ve ever endured. I was in…

It was a chilly, crisp January Sunday, of my eighth grade year, much like the kind that sends goosebumps throughout your entire body the second you step foot outside. However, the cold air that day wasn’t what made my mind wander, rather it was set on the one thing I love doing most-- basketball. It was the day I had been waiting for since I signed up; tryouts for Indiana Elite SWISH were finally here. I awoke that day and got dressed in a pair of burgundy, Pike Central basketball gym shorts, a…

I walked through the dust and dirt to the familiar nondescript building I had come to know and love: Merek South in Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Trumpet case in hand, I pushed open the teal double doors and was met with a wall of sound. I felt the corners of my mouth rise and give birth to an excited grin as I walked past the percussion equipment and other trumpet players to the only open seat, which stood out in sharp contrast against the sea of blue polo shirts and navy blue pants--the required…

My dad told me good luck as I headed off to go warm up. My eyes wandered as I walked into the complex. The long dull concrete was scorching hot, it seemed like it was never ending. I could feel the heat radiate off of the turf as I walked towards the field, the whole placed smelled of burning rubber. Beads of sweat collected…

As the season gets closer to summer the nights start to get warmer, and as the nights get warmer the kids play longer. Picking up my phone I texted my friend Elli to see if she could get anyone to play night games at the Mapleton City Park. Earlier that day at school we had began planning on having night games, and the park was a central place to have them. Even with both of us trying we couldn’t get anyone who could come play. Only one person said that they would be there, who just…
