Basketball jerk

Elizabeth Returns

I woke up to my alarm in the morning and for some reason I had ended up in my bed. I don't even know how considering the last thing I remember was falling asleep on Dylan outside.

I looked at the time and groaned knowing I had to get ready for school.

I walked over to my closet and put out the clothes I was gonna wear today and then went to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and sighed looking at my hair when I was done. I took a quick shower and blow dried my hair as fast as possible.

Then I went back into my room in a towel and changed into some skinny jeans with a flowy top with a pattern of flowers on it. To top it all off, I put a jean jacket over it and put my ankle high black converse on.

Throwing my book-bag over my shoulder, I ran down the stairs grabbing an apple, yelling that I'm leaving an being heard throughout the house then jogging to the door. But I stopped because I heard a voice that was weird to hear here.

"Where you going beau?" Dylan asked behind me.

I'm guessing he took me up to my room last night and slept on the couch because it got too late to drive back home and borrowed some of my brothers clothes. Did I also forget to mention that I had a brother? yeah um he's in college right now so I don't see him a lot and always forget to mention him. I'm such a great sister. *note sarcasm*

"Going to school" I say turning on my heel to face him.

"On the bus? you know I can drop you off right?" he says.

"Ok then come on" I say walking out.

He followed and we drive to school. There wasn't much talk between us on the drive but when we parked in the parking lot of the school, people who were still outside were whispering to eachother after they saw me get out and wondering why Dylan, the hottest guy at this school, according to Liz, would be driving me around.

I thanked him and ran inside to my locker. Lucky for me the bell wasn't supposed to ring until another 5 minutes.

Liz and Luke met me at our lockers that were right next to each other and gave me hugs saying hi.

"Do you have practice after school?" Luke asked.

"Yeah, I have it all this week except for in Friday because we're going against the Lions" I say.

"So?" Liz says not understanding what the big deal was.

"if we loose were out for the season so I have to practice." I continue trying to make her understand. She's not that big of a basketball girl but she supported me more than anyone.

"What do you have to do?" Luke asked.

"I'm supposed to warm up the team today, tomorrow make them train with suicides and stuff, Wednesday were doing practice shots, and Thursday I have to show them how to throw three pointers and we'll have a practice game. So I'm busy this whole week until 6 pm." I say explaining. They nod with sad expressions.

"Sorry but maybe we can do something after 6." I say and just then the bell rings.

"Come on" I say going to first period.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was lunchtime now and my stomach was growling. Second block was fun since Tyler would not stop talking and Dylan kept throwing paper balls at everyone but they all blamed it on the people next to them. It was hilarious.

I got my food and sat at my table where everyone se was waiting for me. I was surprised to see Dylan an Tyler there but I didn't bother asking why since it was sort of better.

"Look what the cat dragged in" I heard an awful voice that was way too familiar.

"What did it drag in? your ugly butt over here?" I said turning to face Susan annoyed with attitude.

"Ha it wished it dragged in something as gorgeous as me" she says back cockily.

"You'd be lucky if cat did since you can't get guys to do it" I say and without even looking, fist pumped with Liz and Luke.

"Ugh, I can get more guys than you" she says.

"Atleast I don't try and throw myself at them to get their attention." I say judgefully(if that's even a word)

"You'll be trying a lot harder than me when I'm about to beat your sorry butt" she says pursing her lips with her minions laughing evilly behind her.

"Yeah ill be trying about as hard as it is to break a pencil which is not very hard for me." I say with a fake sweet smile.

She gave me one last discusted look before she walked away with her minions walking behind her giving me the same look.

"You really know how to get under someone's skins don't you?" Andy says.

I just nods rolling my eyes.

"Feisty" Dylan and Tyler say in unison.

"Jinx!!" they say at the same time again and they just keep saying it.

"Oh forget it you idiot" Dylan says annoyed.

It's so weird how different he acts with Tyler. They're like brothers. Tyler brings out a fun and friendly side of him. I like it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At practice today the coach was working us harder and then I had to warm the team up myself and do the stuff with them. By the end of practice no one could even stand. We would all groan every time we moved a muscle.

I walk over to the bleachers where Liz, Luke, Tyler, and Dylan were all waiting for me as Andy and Mack follow behind me.

This was my gang.

We all decided to do something after practice so we went to our favorite little diner down the street. They had a bar, a pool table and a stage where people could go up to and sing and entertain everyone. It was like a bar and a karaoke place combined but they also sold coffee.

We all drove in Liz's BMW convertible that could've been better since no on fit. Andy got to drive with Mack in the passenger seat all comfy while I was forced to sit on Luke and Liz and Tyler had to sit on Liz and Dylan who was squashed up against the window since this was just a five seat car and smaller than normal cars.

We parked in the lot infringement of the diner and everyone was so glad to get out of that torture chamber because when it got really hot, the ceiling thing-uh-mabober was broken so we could put it up.

Everyone was breathing heavy and grabbing their chest as if they were about to pass out. Well when I say everybody I mean everybody that was sitting in the back because Andy and Mack were great. They got their space and the air conditioning.

When we got in, the air was cold and filled with music. People were at tables just talking.

We sat at a table near the wall and ordered. While we were talking a girl went up on the stage. She was beautiful and might as well have been a model.

"Hi, I'm Elizabeth and I just moved back from California. I used to live here until I got transferred so I'm singing this song in honor of all the people I've missed." She said before she began to sing.

"I'm coming home,

Coming home

Tell the world that I'm coming home,

Let the rain wash away

All the pain of yesterday

I know my Kindom awaits

They've forgiven my mistakes

I'm coming home

Coming home

Tell the world that I'm coming home" she began with the chorus and I'm surprised she herself was able to do the rap and really good too.

After the song everyone clapped and she, weirdly, for some strange reason walked to our table and said to Dylan:

"Hey bro" she said with an evil mocking smile.
