Boxer Girl

9. secrets Are Discovered.

Halloween was over. It was Friday. My life was back to its boring self.

I was bored. Everything was boring, and the worst problem, I woke up extra early without noticing, and now, I can't get back to sleep.

I laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling absently as I thought about my life.

Thanks to Johnathan, Algebra became one of the subjects I aced. Even though I no longer need his help, we still would sit together at his house and study. It became a habit now. In fact, he's the first boy I befriended, and I like that.

Alicia was her normal self. Being the most innocent person I've ever met, caring, loving. But most importantly, crushing on Shawn.

At the memory of their crushing on each other, I thought I might be able to hook them together. Who knows. Since Shawn is leaving Boxing as soon as he gets enough money for the artists college he's joining, he's leaving there. 

My thoughts were cut when I finally heard my clock's buzz, indicating time to wake up.

I left the bed and headed down stairs. But before I reached the stairs, I noticed Jace descending down them, so I jogged over and hopped on his back. Wrong move. I thought as we both fell down the stairs.

"You're lucky I'm strong enough that we didn't fall, and that I love you enough not to kill you right now." He grumbled as he walked down holding me by my knees as I clung into his shoulders tightly.

When we reached down, he let go of my legs, causing me to almost fall of it weren't for my death grip around his neck.

"Why the hell are you awake this early?* he asked grumpily as he looked at me half eyed.

"I have no idea." I said grinning while slumping my shoulders upwards in a rejecting manners.

"Well, never do it again." He said as he walked to the kitchen table, crossed his arms together on it, and rested his head on it, face down.

"What's wrong?" I asked sitting opposing him with a worried look on my face.

He lifted his face from inbetween his arms with a sleepy smile on it. "Nothing's wrong. You just never witness this phase of my morning. You would still be grumoily tossing yourself around." He finished with a wicked grin.

I tossed him an angry look, but couldn't say otherwise. He was right. I'm not a morning person, and it's the weirdest thing I woke up this early.

"Fine, whatever." I said putting my legs on the table ignoring him as I crossed my arms behind my head and closed my eyes.

"Okay, what woke you up so early?" He asked shifting in his place.

"I don't know." I said oppening one eye and looking at him.

He chuckled then asked, "what's up that crazy mind of yours?" He said indicating for my head.

I looked at him warily. I hope he doesn't laugh when I tell him, so I say, "please don't laugh." I plead.

Jace looked at me more awake now. He shifted his back up and straightened it, "I promise." He said.

"I'm thinking of ways to hook Alicia and Shawn together." I said wincing a little wondering what will be his reaction.

I never got to know it, because both our gazes pulled from each other and into the dining room's door when we heard Shawn's voice screeching, "You're doing WHAT?"

I was startled, and I think I exchanged my lips with a fish because I couldn't utter a word and kept opening and losing my mouth at that moment. I'm screwed.
