"Where's your history book?" Rory asked

"In my locker" Daniel said

"And your French book?"

"Why do I even need to take French?" Daniel whined "I speak it"

"Your school doesn't care" Logan said

"That's so dumb"

"Mom, where's my violin?" Sophie asked as she walked past the kitchen 

"How do you lose a whole violin?" Daniel asked

Sophie shrugged

"Where did you practice last night?" Rory asked

"Downstairs I think"

"I bet it's downstairs"

Sophie went down to the basement to look for her violin "found it!" She yelled

"Good, let's go, you guys are gonna be late" Logan said "see you later, Ace" he kissed her before leaving the house with the kids

September 23rd

Lena was on the bus with the Duke university women's soccer team. They were on their way to the first match of the year against the university of Tennessee.

"What are you doing?" Lena's teammate, Sarah leaned over the back of Lena's seat

"Studying" Lena said, still looking at her laptop

"Why?"

Lena looked up at Sarah with confusion on her face

"I meant why on the bus?" Sarah chuckled

"What else am I gonna do?" Lena said

Sarah shrugged "so, you were injured last year, right?"

"Um...yeah. Why?"

"It was a big story. Everyone who follows high school and college soccer even a little bit heard about it. What happened?"

"It was raining and slippery. I crashed into 2 other players, got stepped on, broke my tibia and fibula and my tibia was sticking out of my leg"

"Cool!"

"No. Not cool" Lena said "it was decidedly uncool"

"Does it still hurt?"

"Not unless I get hit right where I was injured" Lena said "I do have a metal rod in my leg though"

=================================

The team was on the side of the field, warming up when coach Scott pulled Lena aside.

"You ok?" He asked her

"Yeah, why?"

He glanced down at her leg

"I'm fine...really"

"You're not in any pain, right?"

"Unless I get hit in a very specific spot it first hurt" Lena told him

"Alright...go warm up"

"Lena!" Oliver called out from the stands while Lena was warming up

"What are you doing here?" Lena asked "I thought you had to study

"I wasn't gonna miss your game" Oliver smiled and leaned down to kiss her "I can study tomorrow"

"You're sweet" Lena blushed
