It was the first day of high school no worries. Stop lying to yourself I thought as I walked threw the doors of the school. I stopped for a minute and saw people running around like crazy. "Woo Sophmore." I whispered to myself and kept walking. I got to my locker, put in my combination, and opened my locker. I started putting my books in there and a couple of belongings. The bell rang and everyone scurried off to class. Just then I heard a loud bang and looked past the door of my locker to see some jock pinning a girl againsnt the lockers. His face was two inches from hers. "HEY!" I yelled and walked over angrily. I pushed him off and she was crying. "BACK OFF!" I yelled at him and he clipped my jaw with his fist. I got knocked to the ground fast and i was holding my face, he walked away and I got up slowly. I walked to the girl and sat next to her she was still crying but she threw her arms around me and started bawling. I wrapped her in a hug and we sat there for a good hour until she stopped. "Thanks." was all she said before getting up and walking away. I stood up and didnt bother going to class so i sat in the bathroom until the bell rang for lunch. I stood up and walked to lunch I sat down with a bunch of my friends. Spotting the jock that had the girl pinned he was at my table right across from me. Which i should have expected since were all jocks. I stared at him for a while before turning my head and seeing that girl sitting alone. I looked until the end of lunch and tryed pushing past people to get to her. I bumped into her and she turned around quickly. "Sorry I dont want to sign up for the stupid cheerleaders club thing." She said not looking at me but my jersey "Who said you wanted to?" I laughed and she looked up. "Hey, You're that guy that "saved" me." she quoted saved like i didnt really "Uhh yeah. Thats me." I said with a smile "Thanks by the way. Uhm here-." she stopped and searched her pockets. She pulled out a pen and grabbed my hand. '760-869-5743' She wrote on my hand. "My number." was all she said as she walked away. I looked at my hand and smiled. When i got to class i wrote the number on paper beause i knew the number would come off in practice. When school was over I started walking to the football feild. I ran into the girl on the way "Oh hey again. Uhm the exits that way." She said pointing at the front doors. "Oh uh football practice. You should come!" I yelled as i walked away. She whispered something I couldnt see but I nodded and walked away. When i got to the feild the coach threw us into the locker rooms. "Get ready." he said and walked out. "Jesus." I whispered and walked to my locker opening it and getting pads and cleats. When everyone was done getting dressed we walked out on the feild. I looked into the bleachers and saw her, I waved and she sorta half smiled. I slowly let my hand down and Tyler smacked my helmet "come on lovebird practice time." he muffled threw is mouth gaurd. "W-were not in love!" i yelled running after him, He shook his head laughing and got into position i repeated and looked ahead seeing that asshole from before. "Get ready to die." he whispered and immediately started laughing. I laughed and shook my head, the coach blew the whistle and he immediately pumbled me to the ground and spit in my face. "Your weak fucking loser." He said as he got up and took off his helmet. I got up angrily and took mine off too. I walked up to him and punched him, he fell to the ground and i jumped on top of him hitting him repeatedly. The coach grabbed me and threw me off "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING SON?!" he yelled at me kneeling next to the guy. "Drew are you alright?" The coach asked Drew "Dreww." i repeated in disgust. Drew spit out blood on the grass "Yeah Im fine." he said "I can play." He stood up immediately tackled me and started chocking me. I punched him and started gasping for air. I stood up and Drew was already being walked out to the nurses office. I turned around and grabbed my helmet, walking to the locker room she stopped me. "Hey i never got your name." She said standing in front of me. "Oh uh.. Its Devin Whats yours?" I asked. "Stacey." She held out her hand "Hey." I said shaking her hand. She smiled "You should come over today." She said "Oh uhm. Sure let me change." "ill be waiting." she said turning on her heel. I laughed and walked to the locker room. I walked out to see Stacey waiting for me. "Hello. Again?" I said smiling. We walked to her house and we walked upstairs. Her mom called her back downstairs. "WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" I heard a muffled yell. I walked halfway down the stairs to listen. "Uhm i was watching the football players do practice." Stacey replied in a shakey voice. "WHY YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HOME HOURS AGO! GOD YOU FUCK EVERYTHING UP." i heard her mom yell and she slapped her. I ran down the stairs "And who the fuck is this." Her mom said walking up to me. I could smell the alcohol. "I'm uh-." "-He's my boyfriend!" Stacey cut me off and looked at me with a smile I gave her a confused look. "This hunk is YOUR boyfriend." Her mom asked staring at me. "Uhh yeah!" I said and ran to Stacey's side holding her hand. Her mom laughed and walked away.
