The Other Team

clarissa

(this is a long fucking chapter)

I wake up to my phone ringing in my ear I mutter something while grabbing the phone. I look at the phone "why the hell is Clarissa fucking calling me" regardless of my concerns I pick up "what's up?" I say into the phone.

"Nothin' just wanted to see if you were okay after that fight" Clarissa said. "it looked pretty bad. Can't believe Jane tripped you, she had that punch coming." The comment didn't set right with me but I ignore it. "But yeah, i'm fine just some bruises" 

The call was silent after but Clarissa clears the air. "I was wondering if I could come over and maybe help you catch up on the schoolwork you missed" she offered me. Me not picking up that she was 'inviting' me over. Regardless I still accept."but actually can I come over to your house mine isn't that good for studying" I didn't want her to see my shitty trailer it's embarrassing. "Yeah, sure. Sure, well see you after school"

I get ready for Clarissa. I scrounged my room for anything clean. I just put on some vans, and a t-shirt and jeans. I knew where she lived because we walk home everyday with the team but my house is always last so the team doesn't see my trailer.

Nevertheless, her house is in walking distance. So I just walked to her house.

I knock on the door two or three times answered almost immediately. "Hi, max! Oh my god! Your face, it looks terrible" Her hand touches my black eye but she doesn't notice me wince, then pulls me into a hug. Very touchy. "Where's your backpack" she said while playing with the ends of her hair

"oh, shit I was supposed to bring one" I said stupidly and Clarissa giggled like I said a joke "it's fine! I have all the stuff we need" she grabs my hand and leads to her bedroom

"where are your parents?" I looked around "oh they're not here, just us" she said getting some papers and two pencils "which one science or history" Clarissa questioned me holding up the notes for said classes "uhmmm, science?" I point to the one that says 'science' on top.

She leads me over to the bed to study the notes and to quiz me "okay can matter be created or destroyed" she held up a flash card that had the question on it. "yes?" I try to sound like I know what I'm doing. "No max, the answers no" Clarissa informs me "hey, I'm trying right?" I try to move on from science "can we do history instead" I know I wasn't that good at history but it was something different at least.

"Okay, look if you get 5 questions right in a row. I'll order a pizza" Clarissa offers me my head shoots up. "Really?" I question her "really". She slightly smiles and grabs my hand. My face goes redder than my hair. But her hand leaves mine to go to a flash card.

"Is kinetic energy stored or moving energy" Clarissa try's again with the flashcard with her new proposed deal.

"Moving?" I wait for her say no, "Correct! Good job, max!" She congratulates me. And she pulls out another card "is potential energy stored or moving"

I take a moment to think "stored!" I say with more confidence in myself. "Correct! See I knew you could do it" we both laugh.

After the laughing dies down. We're just sitting there looking at each other. And we're holding eye contact.

Clarissa crashes into my lips. I don't immediatley kiss back then i get a hold of what's going on and then I kiss back. I'm leaning back on my hands, but Clarissa pushes me down on the bed, and she's on top of me, and very aggressively kissing me. We start making out. I know how to treat a girl, I've done it with a bunch of other girls. Doesn't mean none of them are special though.
