Love Game

Chapter 2: Irritation, Opportunity, and Scott Pilgrim

I gritted my teeth. Why can't this damn boy watch where he's going?

Now I was going to be late and get detention! If I get dentition it'll go on my permanent record! If it goes on my permanent record I'll never get into a good college! Its all his fault! I just want to get my thumb and jam it in his-

I heard Zane clear his throat

"Clumsy, you done checking me out? I've got things to skip" 

I scoffed, "Checking you out? As if. Now move so I can get my stuff."

He smirked that notorious smirk of his, "Aw, seems like Kitty has some claws," he chuckled at his own joke and walked off, leaving me to pick up my things.

"Damn Zane. Damn Math. Damn school. Dam- Oh hi Mr.Stricklin!"

I looked up to see Mr.Stricklin hovering over me, clearly not amused.

"Well Miss Hollis. Since you seem to be having some problems getting to class, how about you just come to my office instead?"

"U-Uhh... I-I uhm... I was t-trying... I just t-tripped..." I stumbled with my words, not knowing what to say.

I've never been to his office without a congratulatory manor! I can't start now! Please God pleeaasseee!!

To my amazement, he just chuckled.

Bloody hell? What's he doing? I'm having a panic attack and him? He's smiling and laughing!

"Oh that never gets old. No, the real reason is I was wanting to know if you'd be interested in a mentoring program for the elementary."

Damn... That escalated quickly...

"Oh!" I tried to smile, hiding my discomfort, "That seems really nice Mr.Stricklin, but I have my classes and projects.."

"Oh don't worry now, Darlin" He smiled again. Stop smiling you creepy pedophile,"You won't have to do them. Let's talk in my office shall we?"

Eh why the hell not.

"Of course, Mr.Stricklin," I smiled as innocently as possible. I think he bought it.

Can you spell gullible?

G-u-l-l-i-b-l-e, apparently so.

We talked about the proposal for the rest of 6th period and half of 7th. Apparently he chose me for the mentoring program because I have the highest test scores and am part of student council. Basically, I'll get periods 5-7 to go mentor everyday. How could I say no?

I finally got to leave! I grabbed my stuff and ran to Geography.  

I opened the door and walked in, handing Mrs.Barbee my excuse sheet and slipped into my seat next to Lucas.

Mrs.Barbee just carried on with her lesson, paying no attention to us talking away.

I turned in my seat, facing Lucas. "I miss anything?"

"Nope. It's been boring as always." He replied, taking out his cell and texting.

"Figured," I layed my head down on my desk, closing my eyes and thinking of stupid, unrealistic scenarios in my head.

I was chasing Zane around Candyland, with a leaf blower, and a little chihuahua. I tackled the bastard and sucked his eyes out with the leaf blower then blew them back out, hitting his-

RIINNGGGG!

Ugh why are all me good scenarios interrupted? At least that was final bell.

I got up from my seat, grabbing my stuff and heading out the door. I kept looking around, trying to spot a familiar bouncy red head when someone came up, covering my eyes with their hands.

"Guess whoooooo!" A strained high voice shrilled.

"Uhhmm Alex!" I already knew. He was always doing this.

"Darn," he uncovered his hands so I could face the pale boy with black hair, "How'd you know?"

"I'm just skilled!" I giggled and hugged him, "What's up?"

He wrapped his arms around me and smiled, "Nothing really. I've just been with Nathan." He giggled and squeezed me before letting go.

Aww the thought of him and Nathan always made me smile, "Aww! Well I better get going! I have to pick up Hallie from school."

"Alright, see you tomorrow Kodi!

"See ya!"

I lay on the couch, drinking root beer, eating potato chips, and watching Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. God this movie is like, amazing.

I saw Hallie creeping around the living room, trying to get into the kitchen.

"Hallie, not yet. Mom is bringing home tacos." I munched on a potato chip. Mmm these are like Heaven in a chip.

Hallie made her way over to me, pouting and giving me her puppy dog look. "Please sissy? I'm only 7... I need to grow!"

I sighed. I'd do anything for this girl, and damn, does she know how to work me... "Fine, fine, but make it small"

A smile spread across her face as she glided across the floor to the kitchen. She could eat Russia and still be hungry...

She came back with a poptart and ran up the stairs, giggling, to her room.

That little girl sometimes...

I just smiled and took a sip of Root Beer, watching Scott and Ramona meet. "Best movie ever.."
