My Personal Jock

Chapter 14

Kevin's POV

"You got to be fucken kidding me!" Sam yelled before she took a sip of her soda. We were now at a McDonald's parking lot for lunch. Where I finally decided to tell both Jonathan and Sam about being invited to Fred's party. "And we can't decline this grand invitation can we?" Sam asked with a deadpan expression on her face. I shake my head no with a frown on my face. "Of course, that would be too simple to ask." she said with a sarcastic tone as she slouched in the car seat.

"Hey, maybe it won't be that bad since we will all go together." Both Sam and Jonathan give me a dumbfounded look. "Ok now I realize how stupid that sounds." I then take a bite of a fry in defeat. "I don't know dude it seems a bit... off." Jonathan had a concerned look on his face as he stared down at his food. "Look I know it sounds like a bad idea, but Ryan seemed pretty serious that Fred wanted us to go."

"Correction he wants you to go. He just knows you won't go if we don't." I turn to Sam and give her an angry look. "I'm not wrong." She then took a bite of her chicken nugget and looked away from me. "Anyways, what would we tell our parents? I know mine would never give me permission."

"We can just say we're having a movie night at my house. My mom always works late night shifts anyways." Sam let out a sigh and Jonathan just let out a little chuckle. "I was fine with dealing with one 'popular' person. But now I have to prepare myself for a battlefield of them next week... I'm gonna die there, then haunt Fred for the rest of his life." We all laugh at Sam's joke.

"Don't die dude, then it'll be so boring without your snarky remakes to make our day." Sam rolls her eyes at me but slightly smiles. "Wait Jonathan, haven't you ever been invited to one of his parties? Ya know since you're on the football team."Jonathan chuckles as he scratches the back of his neck.

"He did but when I was in there he just kept bombarding me with this group of girls he said were interested in me. Also so much alcohol and other things it just overwhelmed me and I got uncomfortable. So I made an excuse that I had to leave and never went back to any of his parties."

Both me and Sam had a shocked expression as we looked at each other and then back at Jonathan. "Fuck dude." Sam said with a low voice. I pat Jonathan's shoulder and he smiles at me. "Hey it's ok you guys, and if we do go we can just bail if it gets too out of hand."

"That's if Fred's not on our ass the entire time." I said as I picked at my fries. "Then we'll have to scare him away, I have my ways." Sam says with a mischievous smile. I suddenly get chills, Sam can be very scary sometimes. So I don't even wanna think what she would have planned. "Ha I dont think it'll get that bad Sam, but thanks."

"Fine, but I will beat anyone's ass if they try to mess with either of you" Sam said as she took a sip of her soda. "And we'll kick anyone's ass if they mess with you too dude." Sam shook her head but had a small smile on her face.

Our lunch time was coming to an end, so Jonathan started to drive back to the school. As we all complained about our last classes we have to attend. "Gah, I don't want to go to Mr.Reed's class. His voice always makes me want to fall asleep"

"He does have a really monotone voice." Sam let out a loud groan as she sat upright. "It's not just that his class is so boring, he just gives out worksheets. It's so repetitive, I hate it." She then looks over at Jonathan with an annoyed look. "You're lucky you don't have to deal with him. I bet your class is doing an experiment or something."

Jonathan chuckles as he looks back at Sam from the rear view mirror. "Unfortunately not today, we have just been reviewing old material for a test that's worth like half our grade tomorrow." Sam scoffs as she rolls her eyes. "Still at least you're actually learning stuff and doing stuff in class."

I let out a soft chuckle and looked over at Jonathan to see him shaking his head. We finally made it back to the school parking lot and made our way back into the school. Jonathan had to get some stuff from his locker so we waited for him at the end of the hallway.

"It's crazy how our week has drastically changed just because you got partnered up with Ryan for just one project." Sam exclaims as she is leaning against the wall. I let out a sigh as I rub my eyes. "I know dude as if my life needed more drama." I try to laugh it off but Sam has a soft expression on her face. "I know this isn't my place to ask this, but are you still going to be involved with Ryan after the project is over? Like I know he keeps saying he wants to be friends. But is it really worth getting close if he's still friends with those jerks."

I was taken aback by Sam's questions and looked down at the floor. I did have some doubts this whole friendship thing is going to go smoothly. Not just because of Fred and those other jerks. But also my one sided crush on Ryan, is this all fair. "I know all I said was kinda loaded, I'm just concerned for you Kevin. I just care about you and your well being, and don't want anything bad happening to you because of him."

I look back up at Sam as she has a dejected look on her face. "Yeah I know you just want to warn me, I honestly don't know what I'm gonna do. Like you're right, me being involved with Ryan has just made me a bigger target for Fred." As I say that I feel my chest start to sting a little as I think back about Ryan.

"Though... hanging out with Ryan has been fun... ha but that's probably because I have a stupid crush on him. Man I'm a lost cause Sam." I then bring my hands up to hide my face out of embarrassment at what I just said. I waited for Sam to say something, or tell me a sarcastic remark. But I just feel her lightly pat my shoulder.

"You're not a lost cause, we've all had our fair share of falling in love with a straight person before. Just be careful okay, and if anything does happen tell me ok." I pull my hands away and look at Sam who has a reassuring smile. "Yeah I will, thanks Sam you're a really good friend." Sam wraps her arm around my shoulder to give me a light side hug.

"Yeah I know, it's hard being this great." We both laugh for a bit and see Jonathan coming our way. Sam then leans in close to whisper something to me. "So when are you gonna tell Jonathan about your crush on Ryan?" Oh shit I forgot I haven't told Jonathan. "I'll tell him soon, I swear." Sam just nods her head as she pulls away from me. Jonathan had finally made it towards us and extended his arms widely."Did you guys miss me?"

We both roll our eyes with a grin on our faces. "Hmm I mean, but you are our designated driver. So yes." Sam says in a snarky remark. Jonathan scoffs as he walks closer to us. "Is that all you see me as, I am heartbroken." He then dramatically rests his head on Sam's shoulder and looks up to her with a sorrowful expression.

"Ok you big baby, enough you're acting like my little sister." She tried to push him away but barely was able to move him. Jonathan laughs at Sam's effort and eventually gets off of her shoulder. The bell suddenly rang and we all collectively groaned. "Alright guys, we'll see each other again in math." Jonathan then made his way to his class while Sam and we went to our class.
