The Wait Game-Varsity Blues

Will You Be Mine?

The next day at school I couldn't stop thinking about me and Tweeder's kiss. It kept playing over and over again in my head. His soft lips on mines, the way held me, oh it was romantic.
"So how about that kiss?" Tweeder asked me while I was talking to Jules.
"Wait you two kissed?" Jules asked sounding surprised.
I shyly looked away and started blushing.
"No," I chuckled. "We just uh...had a lil moment?"
"So you two had sex?" Jules asked.
"No," Tweeder says. "Not yet."
He gives me a smirk and I rolled my eyes.
"Well I gotta go to class see ya," Jules says and leaves.
"Well now that we're alone," Tweeder says putting his arm around me. "How about after school me and you watch a movie?"
"Hmm I don't know," I say. "What movie you wanna watch?"
"Terminator," Tweeder says quickly. "I'll rent it and bring it over your house. Sounds good?"
"Yeah sure why not?"

"What if he doesn't show?" I said pacing around the living room.
I cleaned up and made it smell nice in my house and baked a batch of cookies.
"It's Tweeder," Lance says putting a cookie in his mouth. "He'll show."
"Stop eating all my cookies," I say smacking the cookie out of his hand. "I'm just nervous."
"You've been alone with Tweeder before," Jules says. "What's so different?"
"I've never been alone alone with him," I said.
"Why you scared you gon...you know do it with him?" Lance says and I shoot him a dirty look.
"No it's just...," I say pausing for a moment. "I'm startin' to like Tweeder like a lot. Like bad."
I plopped on the couch next to Lance and groaned.
"Tweeder will like you back don't worry," Lance says. "He's just um...very flamboyant with women."
"Ugh, I do not have a chance with him," I say and close my eyes shut.
I heard the doorbell ring and I jumped up.
"Guys he's here," I say in a panic.
"Well, if anything happens just give me a call," Jules says while Lance gets up.
"Yeah just don't chicken out," Lance teases and I throw something at him.
"Tweeder what's up," Lance says opening the door.
"What's up," Tweeder says. "What yall doing over here?"
"Oh nothin'," Lance says giving me a smirk.
I rolled my eyes at him.
"Hey yall wanna stay over? I rented Terminator," Tweeder says pointing to the DVD he had in his hand.
"You know what sure why-"
Jules nudged him the stomach and Lance let out a painful groan.
"On second thought no," Lance says in pain. "We got some homework to catch up on. See you two later."
Lance and Jules leaves and I got up from the couch to straighten out my outfit. I put something comfortable on so I won't have to sweat like crazy.
"Hi-Tweeder, I-I made you some cookies," I stammered.
"Great," he says. "Imma put the movie in so we can get started."
Tweeder goes and kneels in front of the to put the movie in while I sat on the couch.
Tweeder fiddled with my TV for a few minutes and the movie began.
"Sorry I'm not used to puttin in movies on that type of TV," Tweeder says.
"Yea my Dad gave it to me," I say and he nods.
Tweeder was a couple inches away from me on the couch and was more focused on the movie.
To be honest, I didn't even pay attention to the movie because I watched it so many times with my dad.
"You can sit closer I don't bite," Tweeder says.
I scooted over towards him and he put his arm around me. His cologne was strong and it smelt so good I was practically drooling.
"So uh you ever watched the Terminator?" He asked me.
"Yeah that was my Dads favorite movie," I say. "What about you?"
"I watched it a lot," he says. "I picked it because I haven't watched it lately."
"Oh ok," I say.
"So how's school coming along?"
"It's going good, I like it so far. It's only the second day."
"Yeah you're like the first new kid we had in a couple months. At least you moved over here in the summer so you can know a lot of people."
"Yeah true," I say and snuggled closer to him.
"Hey if you're comin' to the party Friday after we beat Bingville's ass I gotta ask you something," he says winking at me.
Oh shit. Oh shit oh shit oh SHIT. I was cursing in my head. I hope it was about something else. Was he going to ask me out hopefully. I prayed in my head that Tweeder would ask me out.
"Oh yeah what is it?" I asked with a smirk.
"Somethin' I heard through the grapevine," he chuckled and leans in for a kiss.
"Tell me," I say pulling away from him.
"Give me a kiss first and we'll sort it out," Tweeder says.
"Alright," I giggled and kissed me.
Our kiss went deeper and deeper like there was no tomorrow and didn't even pay attention to the movie. I felt like I was in heaven when I was kissing him and to make the kiss even better he smelt so good.

Friday night finally roles around and I was at my first West Canaan football game finally. The stands were packed and people were yelling insults to Bingville and the crowd was just going nuts. I was sitting with Jules and we were cheering on the team.
"Hey what number is Tweeder?" I whispered to Jules.
"He's eighty two," she whispers back.
"Go Tweeder!" I cheered a couple times.
"Go Lance!" Jules cheered on her brother.
Tweeder looked up, smiled at me and waved.
A group of girls turned back and gave us a dirty look.
"Issue?" Jules says sounding intimidating.
The group of girls rolled their eyes and turned around.
The game went on and the Coyotes were beating the shit out of Bingville. Finally, the game was over and everyone rushed down to the field and I tried to find Tweeder through the crowd.
I finally found him and ran up to him to give him a big hug.
"Oh my Gosh you did so good!" I say excitedly.
"Thank you!" He says hugging me back.
"Nice game Tweeder," a girl says and she gives me a dirty look.
I think it was the girl from the stands and I rolled my eyes and stuck my middle finger up. To show off, I gave Tweeder a long passionate kiss no matter how sweaty he was.
"Mhm," Tweeder says looking at me with those eyes.
The girl scoffed and walked away angrily.
"Who was that?" Tweeder asked.
"I don't know, some girl from the stands," I say.
"Hey wait for me outside the locker room, imma take you to the party," he says.
"Thanks," I say.

"You remember what you asked a couple nights ago?" Tweeder says.
We were at the party but away from the crowds and were outside under a tree.
Me and him were holding our beers in our hands and were looking into each other's eyes.
"Yeah you were supposed to ask me something," I said.
"Well I'm not drunk so imma tell you," Tweeder says.
My heart felt like it was about to beat out of its chest and I started to sweat like crazy.
"Uh uh-sure go ahead," I say sounding flustered.
"So I heard through the grapevine you uh...liked me," Tweeder says.
"Whatttt?" I say sounding nervous. "Who told you?"
"Lance, Jules, Wendell, Mox, Billy Bob," he says naming people.
"Snitches," I mumbled under my breath and Tweeder laughed.
"And I was thinkin', we known each other for a long time since we hung out over the summer and I was thinkin' how about we go together?" Tweeder says looking at me shyly. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
"I don't know," I say. "Will you be my boyfriend?"
Ugh that sounded cringey.
"Of course Nia," he says. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course Tweeder," I said and he pulled me in for a kiss.
Finally, he was my official boyfriend!
