The Portal's End

Chapter 3: Tanner's POV

Tanners POV:NOT EDITED

When the game ended I looked up into the stands Papita was gone. Maybe she just didn't want to speak to me, or it could be the fact that it was downpouring. Either way couldn't she at least have congradulated me? I mean it is my last game here at the high school before heading off to college. Well I'll see her later at homecoming anyway.

I walked over to my friends and congradulated them, Dante was already up at the top of the bleachers making out with his new girlfriend Cyraleigh. It's really starting to get on my nerves although I'm glad that Dante is happy.

I walk into the locker room to take all my football equipment off, as I'm shoving my huge shoulderpads into the locker, Vince walks up to me. "Hey dude!" He say with a huge smile on his face. Vince is a big guy, he play offensive lineman, so yeah he's one of our bigger guys. I don't know if I would call him fat though. I mean he's all muscle. The one thing I did know is you dont wanna get on his bad side because I've seen what he's done to other people.

"Oh hey there Vincy Baby," I say with a huge grin on my face because I know he hates it when I call him that. I finish shoving the shoulderpads in my locker and sit on the bench to finish my conversation with Vince.  

"Dont. Call. Me. That." Vince said. I just sat on the bench and chuckled. "Anyway I wanted to talk to you for a second Tanner." He said. I could tell from his face that he was being serious now. I don't know if I should be nervous or not so I just take it serious too. Lets see how this goes...

"Talk to me brotha," I say.  

"Well uhm. I-I just wanted to know if. ARE YOU GOING WITH ALLISON TO HOMECOMING," He blurts out, not really like a yell but it all just comes out really fast and my mouth just drops. I didn't know that Vince liked her. That's odd. I thought he had a girlfriend, anyway thats none of my bussiness.

I deccide to juss laugh and shake my head no, then I say, "Nah she's all yours buddy I've decided on taking an old friend tonight." I say with a smile on my face as an image of Papitas face pops into my mind.

The smile on his face grew bigger. "Thanks man. Honestly, I saw Allison at your locker and I thought that's when you asked her."

I glanced at the doorway to the boys locker room, a bunch of the team was crowded by it, but a girls voice was talking. Typical. Allison came here to auction her self off. Any boy in this school would kill to take her to the dance and right now, she's up for grabs.

Vince followed my gaze and jumped to his feet. "I better ask her now before she's taken." I nodded and he walked to the front of the crowd.

I figured of all the boys after Dante and I, Vince has the best chance of getting Allison to go to Prom with him. Girls are usually all over him, there tiny little hands wrapped around his monstrous biceps. Not to mention that he's like 6'4 or something like that. Being the quarterback means I'm not nearly as massive as him, I'm muscular but if I was to big I wouldn't be able to throw the ball.

I changed into running shorts and a muscle shirt, I tied up my shoes and looked up to see if the crowd has cleared. It did, all I see now is Allison leaning against the doorway and Vince hanging above her. I can't really understand what he's saying but I see his lips moving, I can hear her high pitched girly giggling though. God, she is so annoying.

Although I was very happy for Vince I was nervous of what may happen to him and all. Maybe Allison would really make Vince believe she loved him and then go and break his heart when he least expected. That's something I could picture her doing. Or maybe being the whore she is, she would use Vince for her weird pleasures and the just leave him. This girl needs to go down, I don't need her hurting ANY of my friends.

When I returned home I noticed that my father still wasn't home. But homecoming was tonight and I needed to get ready weather or not my dad was home. God how I can't wait to see Papita, those green eyes and her burgundy hair. She just... Makes it look so natural, I'm happy I asked her.

I ran upstairs after snapping myself deep out of thought and jumped quickly into the shower noticing I didn't have much time. I jumped out of the shower and went into my room across the hall from the bathroom. Opened the door to my closet and pulled out the suit I had bought just a couple of days ago. My tie, Papita bought for me it was a nice light green I guess to match her eyes. Her face flashed across my mind and I noticed myself smiling. Ugh. Snap out of it.

I'm happy I'm not a girl cause I don't have to worry about all that makeup and hair issues. Just get dressed and go, perfect. I buttoned up my shirt and grabbed my tie, that I would need Papita's help with. I hope she knows how to tie one because I sure don't. I also grabbed my keys and my coat and ran out the door eager to see how Papita looked althought I already knew the answer to that would be beautiful, stunning gorgeous.... Okay I'm done now even though I can go on all day.

I jumped into the car put the key into the ignition and the car sounded with life, and I started to make my way over to Papita's. I walked up to the door, I could feel the nerves in my stomach. Me? Tanner? Nervous? Psh. Never.

The door opened and all I could do was stand there, speechless. She looked... Better then I could describe better then you could ever imagine. "You look... Beaut-" I started. She was wearing a loosely fitted silk green dress that matched perfectly with the tie in my hand. Her makeup was done but not caked on, it was done to look natural, and it did. Her hair half up half down with a few curls hanging down, and to think she did it all her own. She's so... Perfect.

"Just. Friends Tanner." Ugh, I wanna be more then friends! I felt like telling her but I held it in.

"Okay then 'buddy' lemme come in so that you can tie this dang tie. Cause I'm going to be completely honest with you I have no idea how to tie one." I said with a grin on my face. She giggled, the way I remembered from when we were young and I never really relized how much I missed her laugh until now. I walked through the front door and stood in the living room. She gestured towards me that I should hand her the tie and so I did. She tied it and as I said before she did it perfectly the same way she did everything else. "So where is your family? They're missing there daughter go to a dance with like the hotest guy in our school." I said with a wink.

"Very funny Tanner." She said sarcastically. "But, I really don't know where they went they kind of just left. So sorry if I don't look good, I had absolutely no one here to help." Don't look good? Haha she's crazy. "Okay date to homecoming are we ready to go?" I said holding my arm out for her to grab. Which she did.

We were walking to the door when the phone rang. I'm almost positive it was her mother. "Oh no." Papita said.
