How You Get The Girl - Josh Dunkley

1.

Scarletts POV :

I wake in the morning to the sound of the dishes clinking together, and the faint sound of the voices I hear every day. I slowly climb out off bed and check the time on my phone. 7:56 am it reads, right on time. I quickly put on a jumper over my pyjamas as its only 12 degrees this morning. I walk downstairs to see the familiar faces of Josh and Adam.

'Good morning,' Adam says, 'do you want these?' He holds up a plate of pancakes.

'Sure!'

Adam, Josh and I all finish eating so we all sit on the couch and the two of them begin watching the highlights from their game last night. I sit scrolling through my socials, clicking through peoples instagram stories when i get the familiar ping, i see a text from my best friend, Harper, the text reads, 'Marcus is asking if u guys wanna come over??'.

'Harper invited us over.' i say, getting up off the couch and head into the kitchen pouring myself a cup of water.

'and..?' Adam says looking at me like a deer in the headlights.

'she's obviously telling us we're going you dimwit.' Josh says standing up and walking into the kitchen.

Adam rolls his eyes and we all go upstairs to get ready for the day. I put on a very simple outfit, just some black leggings and an elite eleven jumper. Josh comes out of his room wearing black jeans and a grey jumper, which is my favourite thing he owns.

'You look nice,' he says with a smile.

'thank you, you too!' i say with a nod, Josh gives me a wink before we go down stairs and out to the car. after waiting for about 5 minutes Adam finally makes his way to the car, sitting in the front, according to Adam, since I'm the youngest i have to sit in the back, however i disagree.

'Took you long enough.' i tease, Adam gives me a scoff and buckles himself in.

Luckily, Harper and Marcus only life in St Kilda, so its not too far away from us. During the car drive, Adam and Josh are just talking about how sad they are they have a bye this week. After what felt like ages we got to Harpers house. The three of us walk up to the door, ringing the doorbell, we are greeted by Marcus, who invites us in.

'Hey guys,' he says, 'come on in.'

I enter to see my best friend, Harper, sitting on their couch, as soon as she sees me she pops up and gives me a very tight hug. Harper also teaches at Brighton Grammar with me, we are both the year 9 coordinators. some of the students say that Harper, or Miss B as they call her, is the scarier one out of the two of us. Harper and i are basically polar opposites. As well as having opposite features, she likes to do maths and science, but i prefer humanities and PE, which i teach, the both of us teach year 7s, 8s 9s and 10s, i like to teach the year 9s though, because they are still getting used to being at the school, but know the rules and no offence to any of the year 10s, but they all think they run the school. Harper and i organised for some of the dogs players to come out and do some drills with all of the year levels, apart from year 12 who are currently busy studying for their mid-year exams. However, they still will get to meet the players. This will be held tomorrow and Friday, and you may be wondering why i am not at school if its a Wednesday at 9 am, thats because the school decided that since majority of the school has exams next week, they would have a curriculum day today to give students time to get a bit of extra studying in, Harper and I don't have to go in today because the two of us finished all of our marking, and lesson planning weeks ago. The main reason myself, Adam and Josh went over to the Bontempelli residence is so i can brief all of the boys who are coming on whats actually going to happen.

----

After being there for about 30 minutes the rest of the boys who are coming arrive. The boys who are coming are obviously, Marcus, Josh and Adam, but also Cody Weightman, Sam Darcy, Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, Pat Lipinski, and Caleb Daniel, which im sure the students will be very happy with.

'Okay, so since there is 8 classes, you will each be given a class. Now all the classes are letters, like 7A, 7B  etcetera, and in every level there is the same number so you will be given a letter and that is the letter you will be with for every year level, for example, Adam i might give you C, so you will be with 7C, 8C and so on.' I say, Adam gives me a nod. 'Dont worry you will not be on your own each class also has a teacher assisting you and you will have students from other year levels to help you as well. Does that sound good to everyone?'

I hear various yes's, and nods.

'Are you going to be with a class?' Josh asks.

'Yeah, im with every class G,' I say with a smile. 'And guys please don't forget these are teenage boys so you can be rude to them, and the principle will be there so none of you can embarrass me, got it?'

Again, i hear various yes's.

'Oh, do you guys want the classes your with now or should we wait until tommorrow?'

'We'll just wait till tomorrow all these numnuts will forget when they leave here anyway.' Harper says giving the boys a look.

After a while, majority of the boys had gone home, and Harper had gone out with her boyfriend. At this point i am very ready to go home and get to bed, its already 9:30 and i need to wake up at 6:30 tomorrow.

I let out a small yawn and hear Josh say, 'Tired, are we?'

'Just a bit.' i say looking up at him.

'Im sure Adsy can make his own home way home,' Josh says, looking around the room, 'lets just go.'

'Yeah, ill just text him.' I say, pulling out my phone, 'Josh and I are leaving, ring one of when ur ready to come home'

Josh and I make our way to the car, and drive home.

Once we arrive at home i unlock the door and go straight up to my room, i quickly get into my pyjamas, i am just about to climb into bed when my bedroom door suddenly bursts open..
