"There is a cat in my car."

ᴍᴇʀʟ-

A few days of school had already passed. I now find myself in Mr, Chambers' office, signing up for a more modern version of Vollyball, than I'm used to.
"And, all done!" he announces, finally, "Tryouts are tomorrow! I'll see you at the courts, yeah?"

"Sure will! Thank you Sir!" I smile and make my way out of his office.

I walk back to my friends, the cafeteria is just around the corner. And 'bam!' I tumble back and land on my ass. Had someone really just walk into me? I hear the sound of hundereds of papers fluttering all around me. When the papers stop obstructing my view I realise that its none other than Miss Xavier. Speak of the devil, or should I say, goddess. She's in the exact same position as me, tumbled backwards on her ass. Damn that must've hurt. Even I felt the nock of it. Yeah the pain did subside within a split second for me since I'm immortal, but it I can still feel it momentarily.

"Oops," says Miss Xavier, but when she looks up and sees its me she glares.

"Did you do this on purpose?" She accuses.

I shake my head in disbelief then stand up between the carpet of papers. I hold out my hand to her and I pull her up when she takes it. I try my best to ignore the changing pace of my heart beat at her touch.

"I would never hurt a lady purposefully," I say honestly, like Ive always said when I accidentally hurt a lady.

She surprised me by saying, "Nor would I."

She's or hinting that she's gay aswell, or that she didn't do it on purpose. Dispite her now smirky smile, I go for the latter.

I take her in for a second. Black hair tied up in a high ponytail. High-waisted black jeans hug her legs and hips perfectly. Tucked in, long sleaved white button up, leaving just enough for the imagination. She looks like a modern day perception of a female pirate, but believe me the ancient ones were much more ruthless and ugly looking.

"Ughmm..." I hear her clear her throat.

I feel my cheeks heat up at being caught checking her out. But how could I not? Have you seen her?

Without making eye contact with her I bend down and help her pick up the pages. The silence tells me to keep on staying quiet. I hand her the pages I picked up.

"Thank you," she mutters and I leave her without a word.

That was way too embarrassing for its own good. So when I reach the crew I don't say a word about what happened.

"Merl! You're back! How'd it go?" Asks Car.

It was originally Car who suggested Vollyball for me, but I think he's just trying to set me up with Penny. Does she have a crush on me or something? Surely the 'be my wife' part was a joke right? And just by the way, she looks as straight as her hair. Will you believe me when I tell you its straighter than Ashley's grades?

"Im doing tryouts tomorrow," I reply with a shrug while Car is checking something on his phone.

He suddenly gets up and runs away, yelling, "Well good luck then!" Behind him.

"Where is he going?" I ask Mark.

"Girlfriend," he says.

I mouth 'oh' and he just nods.

After a while the bell rings, calling me to calculus.

When I finish that class I head to my car. Tomorrow is friday. Ill have to go catch up on Vollyball tonight, since I totally forgot how to play. Im about to open my car door when I hear my phone ringing. I grab my phone and answer, not looking who it is.
