Parker P.O.V.
I have to admit, I was a little scared for Storm when I saw Aubrey slam her against the lockers, but now that I was almost on the floor laughing, I realized that Storm can take care of herself. After Storm walked away, the bell rung leaving Aubrey there with an open mouth and flames in her eyes.
"Parker! Parker wait up!" Jacob from the the football team says running to catch up with me.
"Hey Jacob, what's up?" I ask.
"There's a rumor going around that Asher wants to be team captain. Just thought you might want to know. He said that he's gonna make it where you cant play on the team too." He says with a concerned face. I stop walking and turn to look at him.
"What do you mean when you say he's gonna make it where I cant play? I'm not one to brag but I am one of the best players on the team. He know that without me we wont win many games this season! Does he want us to win?" I say starting to get angry.
"I agree but I don't know what he's gonna do, sorry. Look I gotta run, see ya at practice tomorrow." He says.
"Yeah, okay. Thanks for telling me. Bye Jacob."I say waving as he turns down a different hall.
What the heck is going on with Asher now? Asher is on the football team with me, Emmett and Jacob, he's a good player just not as good as us. I know I'm good at football that's why I'm team captain. Asher has always been jealous of my position but he knows that it's the best arrangement for the team. I really don't want to deal with this.
I walk out the doors of the school and look in the parking lot, Storms motorcycle is gone but Mrs. Jones told me and Emmett not to worry because she was going to go somewhere but she wouldn't tell us. I walk to my car and see Emmett leaning up against it with headphones in. I nudge him to let him know that I'm ready to leave. We get in and drive to his house.
Hours of me and Emmett tossing the football, watching tv and playing Xbox games pass before the loud, vibrating roar of a motorcycle and a car pull into the driveway. Emmett and I walk downstairs and open one of the pizza boxes that we had ordered earlier and put slices of pizza on plates and place them on the table. The door opens and Jessie comes downs stairs saying hi to Mr. and Mrs. Jones as they walk in. Storm walks in last sweating, her hair dark in a pony tail, wearing yoga pants and a royal blue, dry-fit tank top. I'm guessing she went to the gym. I still don't see why we weren't aloud to know. We aren't the reason why she's in witness protection!
"Thanks for getting the pizza for us guys." Tami says.
"No problem." Emmett and I say at the same time.
We eat in mostly a comfortable silence. Only a couple small sentences were throne out, being answered with a small reply then we part ways going back to our rooms. I turn on my T.V. and my Xbox. After logging in and click on Call of Duty, my door slowly creaks opens. Storm stands at the door already changed into a t-shirt and sweatpants. What I'm guessing are her P.J.'s. I smile and pause my game.
"Um... I was wondering if you uh... maybe er... could uh help me with something?" She says quietly.
"Yeah sure. What do ya need help with?" I say with a small smile, putting down my controller.
"Do think you could... Um... help me with my math? I don't really get it and... Well... Tami is asleep so I didn't want to wake her and Emmett doesn't have college math, I also know that... Uh... you have college math too since we are in the same class." She says sounding a little embarrassed.
"Yeah we are, what do you need help on? You can come in." I say grabbing a pencil from my desk as Storm comes in with a notebook and sits beside me on my couch. She shows me her question. This isn't so hard, she just needs to change how she's writing it down! I teach her how to do it by going trough each step, telling her what she did wrong and she gets it right away, finishing the homework in less than fifteen minutes.
"Thanks." She says starting to get up but freezes when she sees the T.V..
"Is that Call of Duty?" She asks then adds, "Of course it's Call of Duty what am I thinking."
"Do you like playing?" I ask a little surprised that she would know what I'm playing. I mean a lot of girls don't play video games.
"Yeah! I used to play with my best friend all the time at her house before.." She trails of at the memory of what happen. The only other time I've heard her talk the slightest bit about her past was last night when she let me clean her face and arms. It was nice how she opened up a bit. "Anyway, do you mind if I play too? It's been a while so I might not be as good as I used to." She finally say. I smile at her request.
"Sure, but I'm pretty good so don't be too surprised if I win." I say jokingly. She just laughs and takes a controller off from the couch.
I'm mean it's gotta be how long since she last played and I barely think that a girl would be into this kinda stuff but what ever.
•••
"How did you beat me that many time in a row?" I say looking at the screen amazed. We had just gotten finished with our 12th game and she had already beaten me every single time.
"I guess it's like riding a bike, It just sticks in your brain." She says shrugging her shoulders with a huge grin across her face.
"Are you sure, like positive your not cheating at all in any way possible? Promise?" I say starring at the scoreboard. She laughs, it's a wonderful laugh too.
"I promise I'm not cheating in any way what so ever, okay? Do you believe me?" She says with a giant smile.
"Yeah, whatever." I roll my eyes in a playful way, smiling back at her.
"This is some of the most fun I've had in a really long time!" She says laughing again.
"Yeah, well I could name a couple other time I've had more fun." I mumble under my breath but I guess my words weren't as quiet as I thought they were because Storm burst out laughing.
"Oh really?! Well I bet It's because you got beat by a girl. Wait how many times was that again? Was it 12? I think it was! And I haven't even played in I don't know how long!" She exclaims still laughing.
I role my eyes at her again and poke her in her side . She flinches giggling the slightest bit.
"Oh! Is someone ticklish?" I say poking her more on her side starting to tickle her more.
"NO! NO! NO! PLEASE STOP!" She say in between laugh. As she tries to get out of my reach she falls of the couch and I fall along with her. I watch her regain her breath. We look at each other both our breathing finally calming down from laughing so much. Her electric blue eyes stare. I look down at her lips then back to her eyes. I feel the heat come up to my face.
Well, Thanks for helping me and for letting me play Xbox with you. I'll see you in the morning." She says smiling slightly and gets up off the floor and walks to the door so quick that I almost don't notice the small blush spreading across her cheeks.
Almost.
"Okay, goodnight Storm." I say as she walks out my door and into her room carrying her math notebook. I turn my tv off and get ready for bed.
Did Storm blush? Did I blush? I run my hands through my hair. What just happened?
