Working at McDonald's was bitter sweet. Of course it's always good to have money in your pocket. I was able to go and buy the type of clothes that I wanted now. K.K. was working there with me which definitely was a plus. But it seems that all you can really eat when working at McDonald's is...well, McDonald's.
All of the hard work of staying in shape went straight down the drain after only a couple months. Every day that I worked, I ate McDonald's. My life was looking like "Super Size Me." People noticed it and weren't shy about telling me. I had managed to destroy nine months of training in about two months.
On a brighter note me and K.K. were working shifts together and getting close. Some days we would take breaks together and talk about different things that were going on in each of our lives. By this time she knew that I was in to her. I couldn't tell if the feeling was mutual though. She was very nice to me but it never really advanced past that. Then one day, while both of us were enjoying our break, she asked me a question that made me think that she may have been interested in me also.
I was talking to K.K. about the upcoming year and telling her what type of things I was planning. Some how we stumbled on a conversation about the senior prom. I told her what I wanted to do that night and I told her that hadn't decided who I would ask. She responded by telling me that she would love for us to go to the prom together. I was definitely surprised at the statement she made. So I replied, "I would love for you to go with me to the prom" with the biggest kool-aid smile on my face.
The summer pretty much ended and it was time for football practice to start. I knew with my summer McDonald's diet that I would have to play my way into shape. So the four weeks leading up to the first game I practiced as hard as I could. I gave maximum effort on every sprint and every play. I eventually got into better shape but those four weeks were hell.
I went into the season feeling great about my teams chances to make it to the play-offs for the first time in about 1o years. We had a pretty good nucleus of athletes and I knew that I would have to be lights out for us to accomplish our goals. To look back on it now, one of our goals was probably unrealistic. But there was one goal that, with 10 secs. left, was within our grasp...
