Ballet Shoes

Number 10

Everyone is exited about the football game tomorrow. Since it's the championship, all the girlfriends of the football players are going to be wearing their jerseys.

Currently it's lunch and Jenna is squirming about the game tomorrow.

"Xavier gave me his jersey already. Number 16." She says dreamily.

"Wait, what about the football players that don't have girlfriends?" I ask.

"Like Ethan? You want his jersey don't you?" She wiggles her eyebrows.

"No." I scoff. Lies. Lies everywhere.

"But really, what about them?"

"They usually wear their own jerseys." I nod.

Ethan comes and sits next to me.

I smile at him he returns it.

"What is that over there?" Jenna points at an empty wall.

"I'm going to go check it out." She slips away so now it's just me and Ethan.

I turn towards him. He fidgets nervously.

"You ok?" He nods.

"Skylar I need you to listen to me and don't say anything until I'm finished." I nod.

"Do you want to wear my jersey tomorrow?" The fuck dude?

I sigh. "You are so melodramatic." His face relaxes and I kiss his cheek.

"That a yes?" He asks hopefully.

"No." I say wry seriously. His face falls. I smile.

"I'm kidding... Or am I?" He looks really confused. I kiss his cheek again and then to face Jenna who is walking toward us.

•••

During free period Ethan gave me his jersey. Number 10. My lucky number.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I ask him.

"What?" He says cluelessly.

"10!" I scream at him.

"What oh ya I wanted to surprise you." He says cheekily.

Jenna, Sage, James and Xavier run up to us.

"Hi guys." Sage raises an eyebrow when she looks at the jersey in my hand and I stuff it in my backpack.

She pushes Ethan into a locker.

"I swear to god if you hurt her, I will personally come into your bedroom window and leave a dog. Let you get attached to that dog then on your birthday I will kidnap that dog and give it to a family in Canada." She finishes.

Ethan looks like she is about to piss his pants. She backs off and pats down his shirt.

"There you go." Sage turns to me,
"He's a keeper." She winks.

"We're not- but- the- ok fine were dating." Jenna laughs at me.

"Oh wow love you too hun." Ethan puts his arm around my waist.

•••

After school Sally has Social Services work and Amy had a sleepover.

Ethan and I were watching The Hunger Games and I fell asleep when Rue was getting hit with a spear.

•••

I wake up in Ethan's bed with his arms wrapped around me. I snuggle into his embrace. I by accidentally wake him up.

"Sorry go back to sleep." I demand.

"Skylar?" He asks holding me closer than ever.

"Yes?" I look up to him.

He starts to lean down, then reality sets in. Oh god he's going to kiss me.

I look down.

"I've never really kissed anyone except a dummy in CRP class and that was mouth to mouth." I whisper. He puts his thumb under my chin and lifts my head so I look into his eyes.

"Good. I can be your first." He starts to lean down again but I interrupt him.

"But I don't know what to DO!" I might be terrible at it. And I don't know what you except from me, like am I suppose to-" Ethan cuts me off by kissing me.

I'm basically laying on him, as oh lips move in sync.

He sits up so I'm straddling him. He licks my lip asking for entrance but I decline. I cup his cheek with my left hand and out my right hand on his shoulder.

I pull back, gasping for air. He smiles and kisses my forehead. Oh god that was... Oh god.

I smile to myself and rest my head on his chest.

"We have to get ready for school." I whisper and bite my lip.

"Ok." I realize he can't get up because I'm on him and I get up. He grabs my hips and pulls me back to him.

"A few more minutes." He snuggles his was into my neck.

"We don't have a few minutes." He groans and stand up. I squeal, and wrap to legs around him.

He rests his hands on my thighs holding me up.

"Can you let me go?" He nods and slowly sets me down. He gives me his jersey and some shorts.

•••

Everyone is staring at us as Ethan and I walk through the halls. My clutch into him not use to the attention.

During gym Abigail came back from suspension early, to come and Torture me again. Joy.

The posse corner me and Abigail turns on a hair dyer.

"A hair dryer. So scary." I say sarcastically. The pin me against the wall and Abigail turns on the hair dryer. She puts the burning hot metal on my wrist and I start screaming out in pain.

I get a few screams until the cover my mouth. After 5 minutes of excruciating pain they let go of me.

I start screaming hysterically and tears are escaping my eyes.

Someone holds me in their arms and yells for a teacher. I look up to see Ethan panicking, rocking my back and forth holding my unhurt hand.

I've never seen a guy cry. And I still haven't. Ethan is crying out, but not crying.

I'm taken out of Ethan's arms and brought to the nurses office. I try my best to not faint. They run some cold water on my wrist and some ointment for my burn is rubbed in.

I skipped music and history. During free period the group came and hung out with me.

Jenna shows me everyone performing their song.

Jenna's song was called Elastic Heart. (A/N: Elastic Heart by Sia if you want to know the lyrics.)

James song was called Defying Gravity. (A/N: if you want the lyrics search up Defying Gravity Glee Cast.)

Sage's was called Titanium (A/N: Titanium by David Guetta.)

Xavier's was Thanks For The Memories (A/N: Thanks For The Memories By Fall Out Boy.)

Ethan's was called Famous Last Words. (A/N: Famous Last Words by My Chemical Romance.)

Jenna has recorded every one singing their song. The teacher preformed mine. My Immortal. It was a weird name for a song but I liked it. (A/N: My Immortal By Evanescence.)

We stayed in the nurses office until the game started.

Xavier and Ethan has to leave before us because they were playing. Ethan was touchy about leaving me but Jenna reassured him.

Currently we are watching the game now. My life is so complicated. And I love it.
