The Portal's End

Chapter 2: Papita's POV

Papita's POV: NOT EDITED

After school I got home. It was really hard to concentrate the rest of the school because I couldn't get Tanner out of my head. All I could think of was why the hell would he ask me to the dance. We haven't talked in like four years.

The more I think of it the easier it is to understand. It was probably a dare. He is going to show up the the dance with his arm around some slut, most likley Allison. I have to say, she is really pretty but she never wears more than an ounce of clothing. It's so frustrating. I wish I had a body like her's.

I got up from my desk and went into my bookcase. I picked up a photo album that havent touched in what seemed like forever. I opened up to the fisrt page and smiled. It was a picture of me and Tanner when we were little, it was our 'first kiss'.

I flipped through the book till it was about twenty after. I grabbed my camera and a thin jacket and walked downstairs. "Bye Daddy, Bye Mommy, Bye Noah! Love you guys!" They just nodded. God only knows what they're doing. Probably one of those stupid family bonding activies they do.

I walked out of my house and towards the feild. As I got closer to the school, the streets and sidwalks got busier and busier, filled with students. I got my camera out and took a couple of pictures.

I walked to the feild and got a seat as close to the middle as possible, which was extremly hard. The stands were nearly filled. I wasn't going to be in my seat much anyway.

I took the lens off my camera and shot a few pictures of the teams warming up on the feild. Just as I was about go sit down I felt two cold arms wrap around my waist. Then whoever it was whispered, "Guess who?" I giggled and turned around in Tanner's arms. "Hey stranger. aren't you supposed to be warming up?" He dropped his arms and shrugged. "Just thought I'd say Hello"

I smiled. "Well, Hello to you too." I patted his shoulder. "Go warm up, my date for Homecoming isn't going to be the reason we lost." He smiled too then walked away.

As I sat down I noticed that almost everyone in the stand section had been watching Tanner an I. A couple of people started whispering. I just sighed and watched the teams set up for the kickoff.

What seemed like seconds later music was blasting and the game was about to start. The crowd was full, the most I've ever seen for a high school games, then suddenly the crowd started screaming and chanting on our team, the Jets. Next thing I know the whole team comes running out with the 'big-shot' Tanner in the front.

He looked up at me as if I was the only one in the crowd, I felt my stomach flutter with butterflies and my heart dropped. His gorgous green eyes looking at me before anyone else. Although I couldn't help but think that he's looking at me in a friendly way, not in any other way.

Then I looked around and saw that Tanners father hadn't been at the game. I wondered if he really apreciated me being here scince his Dad didn't show up. Before his mother passed or disapeared her and Tanners father always showed up to every game.

Finally after being so deep into though I noticed that someone from above in the bleachers was calling my name, I turned around to find Allison sitting in the bleachers waving to me. Oh god. Although I wasn't excatly hated by Allison before it might become an issue considering how Tanner and her were 'dating'. Now, he has asked me to homecoming.

I stood up and starting walking twords Allison, the only thing I could think is great now I have to hear this. The bleachers were hard metal and if I were to fall it would be the end of my so called 'social carrer'. I shoved my way through many people walked up the cold, hard and noisy stairs and found myself standing next to Allison. Of course Cyraleigh at her side.
