New Girl (Dazed and Confused)

Chapter 14

Brae's POV:

I had just dropped off Jodi and was on my way to the school to meet up with the others. I looked over at Pink to see he had a frustrated look on his face. He seemed to be struggling with something and I have a feeling I know exactly what it is.

"So am I gonna see you play next year? Or are we both gonna be watching from the sidelines?" I asked finally breaking the silence. I looked over at him and he was still stuck in this trance. He was really struggling with this choice. "Pink." He snapped his head over and looked at me.

"What?" He asked me.

"Did you hear me?" He shook his head and mumbled a quick no apologizing to me. "It's okay I'm not mad babe. I know this is difficult for you." We had finally pulled up to the school and I could see the others smoking and messing around on the field. I went to get out when Pink pulled me back in the car.

"Can we sit and talk for a sec?" He looked at me with sad eyes and I could tell he truly didn't know what to do. I nodded my head and sat back down closing my door.

"Of course babe. Whatever you need."

"What should I do? Should I just sign the stupid paper?" Before I could answer the guys were yelling at us to get out of the car and come join them.

"Why don't we talk about this later okay? Let's have fun tonight." I told him giving a quick kiss. We got out and walked over to them and just started having a good time. Don and Pink starting making fun of the coaches when Wooderson got up and joined in. Next thing I know Pink was tackling me on the ground tickling me and giving me cute kisses all over my face. I looked over and saw that Don tackled Shavonne.

"Hey man what the fuck!" Slater yelled a little as they woke him up from his peaceful nap.

"Hell my grandmother can hit better can hit harder than that." Don said impersonating the coach. "Course she's eight foot four, drives a Mack truck and runs a 40 in 10.2." We all just laughed at that.

"Shit she gotten bigger than she was in my day. She used to be six-two 195 but still drivin' the Mack truck." Wooderson said taking a hit from a joint Slater lit.

"Hey Pink you got my rolling papers?" Slater asked looking at Pink who was looking around the field.

"Yeah man they're in my car."

"I got them." Wooderson said getting up. "Hey hit me on the slant." They got down and started acting out a football play.

"Marijuana on one. Reefer on two. Hut, hut!" Pink ran around me and threw his keys to Wooderson who caught them down field. He started running around acting like he was getting tackled before finally running over to the car. We sat and talked for a little before he came back.

"'Not to indulge in any alcohol, drugs, sex after midnight, or any other illegal activity'." Wooderson read off the paper the coaches had given Pink this morning and handing it to him and tossing Slater his papers. Guess he had found it in the car while he was looking for the papers. "Found it in the glove compartment." He said as if he had completely read my mind.

"Yeah you're the third person to give this to me today." He said looking over at Don who was now trying to sleep in Shavonne's lap.

"So what are you gonna do?" Wooderson asked him sitting down.

"I don't know. Probably end up signing it. Just don't really wanna give in that easily ya know?"

"That's the same shit they tried doing to me when I was here. If it's not that it's something else they're gonna try to do for you. You gotta do what you wanna do Pink. The older you get, the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. Just keep livin' man. L-I-V-I-N"
