Better Think Twice

I really should not have done anything to Brittany or her clone but they really asked for it. I mean I am a hard person to piss off but if you keep egging me on and don't let it go, I'm going to do what I was taught to do and that is make sure the person never wants to make that mistake again. 

 Well if you can tell my parents taught me well. Honestly I let them off easy, my parents taught me a lot more deadlier stuff to do to people but they explained that is only for trained killers. You know that is totally something you hear everyday from a parent.... 

Any way, coming back to school on Monday is hell. Everyone is looking at me now and I was really trying hard to blend in and get everyone to stop staring at me last week and now I gave them something worse.

One group of kids even had the nerve to whisper about me while I was sitting right in front of them. I really need to let out this pent up anger, if I was back home I would have gone to the gymnasium but they don't have one here so I go to the lacrosse field, which is the next best thing. The ground is soft. It was lunch time so I thought it would be deserted. First I did a round off back handspring. Then a cartwheel turned into a ariel ending with a back flip.  I did this for about fifteen minutes till a whistle rang out.  It was so loud that it started me going into a cartwheel and instead of landing on my feet, I landed on my butt.  The whistle turned into a laugh now.  I turned around to see Ben walking towards me.

"So Claire, you know these mad boxing skills and now your a gymnast too" Ben asks with a smirk on his face.

"I just had a lot of free time while my parents where gone as a child that they set me up with a lot of extracurricular activities to keep me busy" I said with a shrug. 

"Why don't you take up cheerleading then?" Ben asked.

Was he serious,"Ben have you seen the cheerleaders here, one specifically, you know the one I gave a black eye the other night and the one obsessed with your brother?" I mean Ben needs to use his brain some times. 

"oh come on, Claire, we both know that you are way better than Brittany, you could blow all of them away.  Why not just try out for the team, I mean it may make your life just a little more enjoyable here knowing you made some friends, maybe you can even become captain and knock Brittany off her pedestal." Oh how I was starting to like this kid.  

"Ben. I'll think about but for now can I be alone," I was still mad about the whole incident and Ben bringing this up wasn't really helping the situation.  Ben I think understood because he nodded his head and walked back towards the bleachers.  

.........

The rest of the day went by pretty uneventful.  I still got some whispers and stares but I have started to get use to it.  I met Trent and Luke at my locker as the last bell rang.

"Hey, Claire we have lacrosse practice, would you be able to wait for us, we were going to meet with some friends after and get pizza and thought you might want to come?" Trent asked.  Luke was next to him but was too busy checking out the girls that I think were freshman that had just walked by us.  The winked at him and he laughed.  "Do I really have a choice? you kind of are my ride?" I explained to Trent.  He just smiled and lead me in the direction of the lacrosse field.

Let me just explain that where I am lacrosse is a big thing and I may have been taught to play when I was younger by school mates.  I was even offered a position on the team at my old high school but I turned it down for cheerleading.  So going to watch practice was kind of hard to watch.  I really wanted to yell at Trent and Luke when I saw them do something wrong.  So I tried to distract myself with homework.  I mean I didn't have a whole bunch but I could get started on the essay that is due in english in two weeks.  while I was contemplating what to write about a looked up and realized a ball was coming straight towards me.  Instinct took over, my hand went up and I caught the ball a inch before my forehead.  Well that was close.  I looked up to see all the boys gawking at me.  

Trent walked over without a shirt on, damn when did the guys start playing shirts versus skins and why didn't I notice.  Wow Trent looked really good sweaty, ugh Claire don't think that way.

"So I feel like I shouldn't even be surprised that you caught that?" he asked.  

I laughed, "yeah, sorry I guess I have really fast reflexes, now you want to point the buy out that made the ball come straight at me?" I asked sweetly.  Trent pointed at a kid that I knew right away, Derek.  I should have known.  

"The coach went to get water and I guessing he thought it would be funny" Trent said as glared daggers at Derek. 

"Well I guess I need to teach him a lesson about how to be funny then" I started stepping down off the bleachers toward the field with Trent right behind me.  

"Claire, it's fine we can get back at him on the field just leave it alone, the guys a dick and I don't want you to get hurt" he tried to persuade me but I was already fed up with people trying to miss with me today.  I just wanted the pizza Trent promised and to go back to the house to watch Bones on Netflix.  

"Trent give me your stick" I put my hand out towards him.  He sighed and tossed it over.  I walked straight up to Derek.  "So I see that you thought it would be funny to try to knock a girl out that wasn't doing anything." Derek smiled walked over to me,"Oh honey, you look quite sexy when your upset, why don't you give Trent back his stick and we get a little comfier in my car." ugh who does this kid think he is.  

"How about we do a game of one on one.  If I win you have to do whatever I tell you to do and if you win, I'll give you a kiss." Derek grinned widely.  "Wow, you really want to kiss me, honey if that is what you wanted, all you had to do was ask."

Trent and Luke were stand by me looking like they wanted to pummel the guy but Derek had no clue what was coming.  "So do we have a deal?"
