So I always get to my tennis club (Salt Lake Tennis and Health Club) roughly 30 minutes before my tennis class starts so I get there at around 5:30-ish, so usually when I get there I just watch the class before me play which is called the nationals class. So I just watched that for a bit and then went upstairs to the bathroom and got ready for class and then came back down and watched for about 15 more minutes. Then at about 5:53pm Carter walked into the lobby and I was just watching Nationals through the window and I saw his face standing right behind me through the window, so I turn around and say, "Hi Carter!" And then he said, "Hi Londyn!" And I said, "How did you do in your doubles match?" And he gave a really funny and embarrassed smile and said, "We did horrible! We got creamed by two 6 UTR's 0-8!" And then we both laughed and I said, "That's ok!" And then I said, "Who did you play?" And he said, "We played Tj and this other dude but I forgot his name" And I said, "Was it Noah?" And he said, "Oh ya!" And I said, "Oh that's tough! They're both really good!" And he was like, "Ya" And then he said, "But it was like super windy! Like right after your match finished, the wind got out of control!" And I laughed and said, "Oh dang!" And he said, "Ya" And then I told him that the girl that I played last I barely lost to, and she was a 4.5 UTR, and that the girl that I beat first that day was a 5 UTR. Then my besties Mya Gill and Brooke Kelly walked in so I just talked to them until class was about to start. And at 6:00pm, everybody walked through the court curtains and onto the courts. (we all set our bags, run laps, and do dynamics on court 1) And when we got onto the courts me and Brooke set our bags right next to each other, but Mya set her bag a bit further away because there wasn't enough room. So after I set my bag down I walked over to her and I just talked to her while she set her bag down and stuff. Anyways, but to Carter! So today in our tennis class there was like no one there, so when Carter would usually start on court 5 and I usually start on court 2, but since there weren't many people today, he started on court 2 with me, and same with Brooke. And just like always we did short court to get warmed up, and me and Carter warmed up together which was a lot of fun, I could definitely tell that there was still a good connection between us, like we joked around and laughed a lot, and with Carter, everything is fun, he is so easy-going and laughs over the tiniest things, and I love that about him. He is also really nice, everytime that he would hit a ball that was a little bit harder for me to get, he would say sorry or my bad. And then after that we did a 2 in 1 rally thing for 15 minutes to get warmed up and then we did a timed wave game for 30 minutes which was a lot of fun with Carter and Brooke there. Mostly Carter, I mean, me and Brooke just chatted most the whole time, but when I would play Carter and whenever I messed up and played a bad ball, he would laugh which made me feel so special because I knew he was paying attention. Then after that we practiced serves for 5 minutes and then did serve wave. And when me and Carter were both on the king side of the 2nd court we would tell each good job or nice shot, you know. And he honestly said some random stuff to me, but I didn't mind. And to wave up to the next court you have to get 5 points on the king side, and me and Carter were both at 4 points on the king side, and he was just about to play, and I said, "Carter, do not win" And he said, "Why?" And I said, "Cuz" And then he "joked around" and said, "Oh is it because you'll miss me when I wave" And I was like "Oh my goodness Carter" And we laughed. But the real reason was because I wanted to wave instead, but when I thought about it, he wasn’t wrong. And he then ended up winning the point and waved and then I was like, "Curse you Carter" and we both laughed. And then after a minute or two, I look over and realize that Carter is on the king side of court 1! And I walk a bit closer to him and say, "Carter, how are you on the king side?!" And he smiled and said, "Cuz i'm just like that!" And I smiled and said, "Bro!" And then after that I ended up waving up just in time for my tennis class to end. And he also kept on looking at me while we were picking up. And then after class when I was packing up my tennis bag, I looked over to Carter and said, "Carter, after beating a 5 UTR and barely losing to a 4.5 UTR, my UTR only went up by 0.02 points! So I went from a 4.05 to a 4.07." And then he laughed and said, "Well, at least yours changed at all, mine didn't change a bit" Then we laughed.
What do you guys think?
