It's Complicated

It's been a week since Braelynn started to tutor me.  She decided that she was going to come to my football practice before we went to go do tutoring.

The only reason I didn't have practice last Monday when we started the tutoring was because coach let me off the hook for one day.

But as the last bell of the day rings, I find myself needing to go to practice.

I rise out of my seat before I walk over to my locker and shove my school books in. As I turn to walk to the locker rooms, I run into something.

Quickly grabbing whatever I ran into I look down to find a startled Braelynn in my arms.

"Sup Brae?" I chuckle while making sure she's on her feet.

Rolling her eyes she looks at me, "am I still tutoring you today?" She asks with a bit of attitude.

"Yeah" I tell her as we start to make the walk to the locker rooms, "are you still staying for practice?"

"Yep! I'm going to go sit on the bleachers. See you after your practice is over."  With that she sends me a wave and I wave back.

Walking into the locker room the guys say hey and some of them give me a bro hug.

One guy, Tommy, comes up to me, "who was the chick you were walking with?" He asks me as I start to pull my football pants on.

"No one that matters to you!" I tell him rubbing on some deodorant.

You see, Tommy is a player. Yeah I know I'm a player too. But Tommy is different. He hurts girls. He doesn't care about anyone's feelings.

He makes a girl fall for his charms and then he breaks their hearts.

"Woah man just wondering." He says holding his hands in surrender and a smirk on his face before he backs up.

Ass hole.

Some of my good friends on the team ask me about Braelynn because they know she's tutoring me but I can see they have no intention of making any moves on her.

After gathering our gear, the team made our way out of the locker room and out onto the field.

I looked over to the stand to find Brae there with her nose in a book.

Looking at this made me smile. That was until I got a smack to the back of my head.

"Stop staring man. She's pretty and all but don't let her think you're a creep!" Colton, my best friend says laughing at me.

"Psh I wasn't staring!" I yelled at him.

"Mhmm okay sure."

I mumble a 'whatever' and then we start practicing.

Coach gives us a break after making us run a mile.

I look back at the stands but it's not just Brae that's up there. Up there with her is also Kate.

But it doesn't look like this is a friendly talk.
