rough draftttt

Three friends sitting around a table, set for a summer picnic dinner, they chat and reminisce, talking of times they have had and thinking about the future experiences still awaiting them. They look around to see a plump turkey, waiting to be cut slice by slice and passed around to each of the three hungry families. Alongside the turkey, there is a pot of mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, ham, stuffing, bread rolls, almost every trimming you can think of.


After some time through the dinner one of the boys, mason has brought up a very fond memory of the three boys, the time they took a trip to Wisconsin together for a week, to go to the dells and have a little vacation to themselves before the football season officially kicked off again, even though they had been practicing for months now.



Mason said to both Eduardo and Dontrell,

"Do you remember playing water basketball at the first hotel we stayed at?"

"yeah" replied Dontrell,

"When buddy was hitting every shot on you?"

The three all laughed as teasing each other was a big part of their friendship, but they all knew it was just for fun.


The trio continued deep into the dinner talking about the Wisconsin trip, as well as many of the experiences from football in the past years. The next season that will start legal practice soon, would be Mason, Eduardo, and Dontrell's junior season, and it was expected to be good season for their school, the Malcolm X Whales.



All three had been working hard for the last three years now to get the positions they held today. In fact, the school football team was how they met and gotten close with each other so you could really attribute their friendship to the game they love.



Mason, Eduardo, and Dontrell, then went downstairs, to just relax and play a couple of their favorite video games. They wouldn’t usually be all that competitive, although there would be trash talk throughout every game that was put into the game system. (Usually started by Dontrell)



The three made their way up to the bed two stories above them, in Mason's room. Once there, they start getting ready for bed and Dontrell says

"I call the left side."

"Fine, then I've got the right side!" says Mason.

''So I'm just in the middle then. Huh" Eduardo says reluctantly.

But the spots were already called out and there was no debating it.



The lights went off and before too long, the three drifted asleep, ready to start a new day, ready to make more memories.
