RUSH

 

¨ Come on.¨ My pop says from outside the dance studio window. 

¨ I have to go. ¨ I tell my dance teacher. 

I rush to the bathroom and take off my dance costume and change into my soccer clothes. I slip on my pink sweatshirt and wash my hands.

The water was cold so I pressed the other button. It warms up. I press the button to get the soap out of the dispenser. I rub and rinse. 

My pop is waiting for me at the door. I hand him the costume to put into the bag that it came in while I rushed into the studio to get my water bottle. When I have all of my soccer and dance stuff, I follow my pop into the lobby. 

We walk toward the exit door. On the other side of the glass doors, there are girls with high buns and leotards and tights. I open the door for my pop and he passes it to the next girl.

When we make it out the door, I slip on my shoe so that it is actually connected to my foot. I held my pop´s hand as we crossed the street together.  

We get into the car and my pop rides away when I am not buckled. I snap my seat belt on so that I am strapped into my seat. 

I open my soccer bag and take off my socks. I roll up my pants so I can put on my shin guards and my cleats. 

6:03 the clock reads. ¨ We will be ten minutes late. ¨ Pop says. 

I nod my head. 

After a few minutes we are there. And to think we rushed to play soccer in the freezing cold!!
