Love and Football (BWWM Interracial Love Story)

Chapter 21 It's Obvious

Wednesday

Wednesday. Hump Day. The football game was quickly approaching, and the school walls were decorated with posters and art oozing Mount Rainier Spartan pride. Coach Reynolds continued to work the players hard during practice. Mr. Nolan and Mrs. Pierre were working tirelessly to prepare the band. Larissa, Elisha, and Kendra practiced the routine repeatedly until it was perfect. It was crunch time for sure.

Kendra tried to keep her mind focused on getting the dance routine down to the T, but whenever they got breaks, she found her mind drifting off to thoughts of Jason. She could not believe she had his number saved in her phone. Yes, it was for tutoring purposes only. It's not like he gave it to her because he liked her, but still, she took it as a step in the right direction. She thought about coming up with a question about physics, just so he would text back. She loved talking to him even though she had butterflies most of the time. If only he liked her the way she liked him, she thought.

Dance practice came to an end, and as if on cue, Larissa's baby started to cry, turning the heads of the other dancers, causing them to giggle. Larissa rolled her eyes and picked up the baby, attempting to soothe it, going down a list of possibilities in her head of what it may need. Finally, she realized the baby just wanted to be held. Elisha smiled, shaking her head.

"I'm so glad I never picked that class," Elisha said.

"I'll be happy when this is over. I didn't know it would be this annoying." Larissa grumbled. "Ok, are yall ready to go? I'm super hungry." Larissa asked, tying her shoe laces.

"Yea, me too," Kendra agreed, feeling her stomach growl.

They grabbed their stuff and walked out of the dance studio.

They decided to eat at Chic-Fila. They went inside and placed their orders at the register. They took a seat at a table as the smiling teen brought their food to them.

"Thank you," they said in unison.

"My pleasure," the blond girl said smiling before she walked away.

"So what did y'all do after school yesterday?" Elisha asked.

Larissa blushed. "Nothin' much."

"Yea, right, you did something. Or someone I should say. It's written all over your face. " Elisha glared at her, biting her fry.

"I never kiss and tell." Larissa smiled.

Elisha rolled her eyes. "Well, at least you got some. My damn daddy is home before I am on Tuesdays. He teaches all his classes in the mornings. And Reese's mom is home by 4."

"So what did you do then?" Larissa asked.

"We just hung out at a park and talked."

"Aww, that's cute. Communication is key. " Larissa snapped her fingers.

"I guess, but it's boring though," Elisha complained, causing the girls to laugh.

Kendra was focused on eating her Chic-Fila fries. She loved their waffles fries and the Chic-Fila sauce.

" And what did you do yesterday, mam?" Larissa asked Kendra.

Kendra looked up after dipping the fry in sauce "Oh..I had tutoring."

"Tutoring for what?" Elisha asked.

"Physics"

"Hmm, I didn't know they had tutoring for that at school. I wish I would've known that when I was taking it, " Elisha said.

"The school doesn't offer tutoring. Jason tutored me."

Larissa smirked while sipping her milkshake, looking at Elisha from the corner of her eye. Elisha gave her a knowing look right back before turning to smile at Kendra.
