It All Started With a Football

Picture of Liam Goodman

~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
I don't wake up from an alarm clock or my mom, instead it's cold water.

"What the fuck?!?" I jump up and try to get out of my bed, but the covers get twisted and I end up tripping, landing face-first on the ground. I look up and see Katie. She wasn't laughing like she normally would've.

"What are you doing here?!" I say, still mad.. And cold.

"I woke up to a couple texts from people saying that you hit Liam Goodman in the face with a football. Why the hell would you do that?" Katie asked me.

Great, she knows

"I will explain to you after I take a warm shower." I get up off the ground, glaring at her, and then walk towards the bathroom. She sits down on one of the chairs that I have around my room, and goes on her phone.

I close the bathroom door, and turn on the shower as I peel off my wet clothes. I am not a morning person, and she did not help.

After I am done with my my 10 minute shower, I step out and wrap a towel around me. I go to my room and Katie is still in the same chair, texting away.

Figures

I open up my closet and pick out my clothes for the day. Katie looks up when I am done.

"So explain."

"Okay.. Well.. You know how you told me the football team was practicing at the field at the park?" she nods, "Well, it was right in front of my tree. And I was minding my own business when someone hit me with a football. It fucking hurt so when Liam started coming towards me, I was angry and I threw it at him. I didn't expect it to actually hit him."

"That's not what I heard. Sarah told me that it didn't even hit you, but now that I am seeing that huge bump on your head.. I believe you."

"Yeah well I am going to cover it up, and then we can go to school." I say in disgust.

The cheerleaders are probably going to beat me up in the girls bathroom for hurting Morgan's boyfriend

I went to the bathroom and covered the bump up and Katie and I went downstairs, I grabbed an apple since I didn't have time to sit down and eat. We headed out the door and got in Katie's car.

~~~~~

We got out of the car and walked inside,  towards my locker. We somehow weren't late so I had time to drop off my books. It took me a minute to notice people starring at me.

Great

Note the sarcasm there.

I finish getting the books out of my locker and I start walking to my class. A few people once they saw me, started laughing.

People have no fucking lives

I got into class and sat in the front like usual.

Someone tapped on my shoulder. I turned around to look at one of my classmates. I can't remember their name though..

"Are you the one that hit Liam with a football?" She asked me.

Great

"Uh.. Yeah?"

"So it is true. Why did you hit him?"

"Because I was angry at him for hitting me." I didn't let her reply as I turned around.

The next 2 classes consisted of people asking me those same questions. And then it was lunch. I found Katie at her locker.

"Can we sit in the library today? I am so annoyed with these people." I told her.

"Maybe you shouldn't have thrown that football at him." She laughs at me.

"Oh I'm sorry." Sarcasm intended. We start to walk to the library.

"Have you even seen Liam today?" I asked her.

"No, I haven't. I didn't hear anything about it either." She replied. I shrugged and we entered the library. Not many people are in the library unless 1. They are in a situation like me or 2. They forgot/want to study.

We hid in the back of the library, in one of the aisles. I pulled out my turkey sandwich and she pulled out her salad.
We ate and chatted about a series we both are watching on Netflix, The Vampire Diaries.

When lunch was over, I headed to my next class. Which just happened to have Liam and Morgan in it and a couple of her followers.. Great

When I entered the class, I sat in the front corner where my seat was. People started rushing in after. I pulled out my homework and made sure it was done. Thank god I'm not a procrastinator.

Morgan then proceeded to walk in. She sneered at me.

Wow feel the love

I chuckle silently to myself.

"Alright class, get the homework I have you last week out." You could hear groaning across the room.

When the class was over, some of Morgan's "friends" bumped into me on purpose. Morgan looked at me and laughed.

Great the biggest bitch in school is out for me.
~~~~~~~

It was the end of the school day. No one beat me up in the girls bathroom today.. So that was good. I asked Katie to give me a ride home today because I did not want to go to the park.

I got home and did the usual, boring things and then went to bed.
