"Drum roll please! Last but not least, first place and one hundred dollars goes to-" She paused, creating suspense throw out the crowd,"Samantha Rassi and Skylar Heathings! Congratulations ladies!" she said. I was so happy! Everybody congratulated us as we made our way backstage. When we got backstage, a guy handed us both a trophey and fifty dollars each.

"You ladies did good out there," The guy said. My cheeks began to get hot. Am I blushing? I never blush unles Bryson talks to me or something like that.

"Thanks," Skylar and I say in unison. She was blushing, too. That's not new for her. She blushes every time a guy flirts with her, and trust me, that means she blushes a lot. Everyday someone new comes to our table to talk to her. She's the most prettiest girl in the school, but everytime someone tells her that, she don't believe them. I think it's because the guy she likes, Raymond Fowler, NEVER flirts with her. Oh, Raymond Fowler, star quarterback for our middle school, and also the bad boy. What girl don't like him? All the guys envy him and all the girls wanna be with him. He has a whole bunch of 'followers', as many people call them. I just call them his friends. I guess because Bryson is one of them.

"So," Skylar said, awkwardly. Then she turned to me."Do you wanna head to-" she paused to look at her phone."Homeroom to get ready to go home?''

I looked at her then back at the guy, may I add, awkwardly,''Sure, but first, can I ask you-" I point at the guy,"What is your name?"

"David, but Dave for short," He said while winking at Skylar."Would you like to know my number, too?" He asked us. Wait, no I think that was for Skylar, also.

"No, no I would not!" She said while pulling me away. He was kinda cute, too. Meh, not as cute as Bryson I thought, mentally winking. Skylar and I headed to homeroom, just to wait to get dismissed to go to our lockers. How fun.

We go into homeroom and take a seat.

"Do you wanna go shopping again today?" Asked Skylar. Ugh, I don't want to tell her I can't.

"I can't. I have softball practice again," I replied. I know what your thinking, why are you lying to her? I'm not.

"Just skip," She said.

"Two problems with that. One, do you really think my mom would let me do that? And two, it's the most important softball practice in the history of NWA Venom 01 softball," I told her. It's true, the director of Venom softball, Derek Amos, is putting on this thing where we show off what we can do, and other coaches watch. It's pretty cool.

"Oh, what about Saturday?" She asked.

"Not good for me either. I've got a tourney," I told her.

"What's a tourney?" she asked.

"It's short for tournament," I informed her.

"Oh," was all she said.

I was riding in our car on the way back from softball practice when I got a text from Bryson.
(A/N bolded is Bryson and regular is Samantha.)
Hey
Hey
What are you
doing?
Nothing much.
What about
you?
Same. Do you
anything going
on this Friday?
No. Why?
I was wondering
if you like to go
eat some pizza
and then maybe
a movie. Do
you?
Can I pick the
movie?
Sure! Wait, you
aren't going to
pick some chick
movie, right?
Lol! No. I was
thinking horror.
Okay, good.
So... does this
mean we're a
thing?
If you wanna be. ;)
Okay, but will you
tell me something?
Does Ray like Skylar?
Umm
