"I can't get her out of my mind" Alex admitted. "Every time I see her it is like all I can think about is how she is Dustin's. Everything about her drives me crazy."
"Then ask her out?" Tray said from the the couch. "Easy as that."
"Did you forget the part about Dustin calling dibs? You know my best friend? " Alex continued.
"What makes her so different than any other girl you met? Normally, aren't you all big and tough guy?" Tray asked puffing up his chest. "Me Alex. Me tough. Me think girls are toys. Me never be settled"
"Haha" Alex spat dryly. "She is just different. I can't explain it. It's like when I'm around her everything any everyone is gone, you know?"
"Oh, dude, you got it bad." I stated Shaking my head.
"What?" He asked walking over to the fridge to grab another Gatorade. He picked it up to take a drink but stopped mid motion."got what bad?" He then continued with his drink
"Love" Tray and I said simultaneously. Next thing we knew my kitchen counter was covered in blue Gatorade spit.
"What?" Alex asked shocked at the answer just given.
"The love sickness, the love bug, the heart beater, the heart attack you want to have." Tray Continued. "the feeling you get in your chest that makes your heart go ba bam!" He screamed mocking him.
"I don't fall in love. I'm Alex! You guys said it yourself I think girls are useless toys and I'm never going to settle with one girl." He defended as his face turned to color of a red hot chili pepper.
"I know love when I see it!" I yelled cleaning up the blue spit that cloaked my counter.
"I don't even know what that is! How could I be something I don't know?" He said raising his eyebrows at us both.
"It's an invasion of privacy. They are always on your mind. And even when your apart even for just a few seconds, it feels like an eternality. It's when you see them in the hall and her heart starts racing like a freaking race car."Traycan said staring blankly at the floor with a smile.
"Oh crap..."Alex said wide eyed.
"What's with all this talk about love I'm hearing is someone in love or something?" Dustin said coming through the front door and hobbling onto the couch next to Traycan.
"Yep" Traycan said without thinking."I think the mighty Alex is finally getting tamed."
"Really? Whose the girl? Do I know her? When do I get to meet her?" Dustin questioned interested.
"Um.. Her name is Clair..ise. Clairise Witherspoon." Alex said panicky. "She goes to umm, north view in Johnson."
"So as your best friend when do I get to meet her? Maybe you guys could double with me and Clair." Dustin suggested as Tray let out a slight giggle.
" Umm, I don't know, she Umm has a really busy schedule she is always Umm knitting?" Alex said going into full on panick mode.
"Knitting? She has to be hot of your dating her and she knits?" Dustin questioned with a confused look on his face.
"Oh yes, she is beautiful in every way and she is really smart and funny." Alex said a smiling making its way onto his face.
"Jeesh dude you got it bad!" Dustin said staring at him in disbelief.
"You have know idea." I said sitting down right between them. "So, y'all ready for the big game tonight?"
"He'll yeah!" Alex replied looking relived about the sudden conversation change.
"At least you guys will get to play!" Dustin said slopping down in his seat.
"It's all good gimpy!" Tray said grabbing the remote to the television. "We are gonna win with outcha"
"Watch it Martian, I may be hurt but I can still lay you out!" Dustin joked narrowing his eyes.
"Oh I am so scared cripple." Tray mocked. Next thing I knew, Dustin picked up his crutch and chucked it across the room missing Traycan by a few inches. "Ha you missed me." Dustin then proceeded to picking up the other crutch and throwing it hitting him square in the face causing us all to bust into laughter.
"Now, now boys lets settle this like they did in the olden days. Each of you pick up a wii remote and settle this with a nice good old fashioned game of Mario Cart." Alex said tossing them both a controller. We played for bout an hour and then got out stuff ready to head to the school to get ready for the big game. This wasn't just any night. This was homecoming night. The night we are all suppose to remember. Even if most the team was stuck with the stupid love sickness....
