"Hey, Mom I think I want to try out for the rugby team," I said taking a bit out of an apple.
"Really? Isn't there a much safer sport you can choose like golf or tennis or swimming? Really anything where you aren't being tackled or shoved to the ground or where a there's no possibility of serious injury is a very good sport to play."
"Mom I'm not a baby. I can handle it! What's the worst that could happen?"
"Please don't say that. There's a lot that could happen, and I don't want to see you hurt sweetie." She reached up and touched my jaw lightly in an overprotective mom kind of way.
"Please! I really want this," I pulled her hand away and held it tightly in mine.
She released a defeated sigh and nodded.
"Thank you!" I shouted pulling her into a tight hug. I kissed her on the head before leaving for school. It had been a few weeks now since I had gotten suspended, and things between Moxxi and me were getting... Well more or less confusing. We would hang out after school and "study" but she didn't consider me to be her boyfriend yet, and she never really wanted to go out in public.
"Gunnar!"
I looked up and saw Moxxi leaving her house. She motioned me over, and I happily joined her. We got in the car, and the moment the doors were shut, out lips locked together in a heated frenzy.
We stopped for a second to catch our breath. "Are you sure you want to go to school today?" Moxxi said kissing my jaw and down my neck.
I brought her lips back to mine before responding,"rugby tryouts are today, so I need to be at school."
"You're trying out for rugby? You do know that Adam is captain of the team right? He'll murder you!"
"Aww you're worried about me. I'm flattered," I teased and kissed her again. "But seriously let's go before my mom decides to look check and see if we're gone."
Moxxi shook her head and pulled the car out of the drive heading toward school.
By the time we arrived at school the bell was only 3 minutes away from ringing. Moxie and I walked into Jared's class just on time.
"Glad you could join us on time today Mr. Rhodes and Ms. Carter. Since exams are a few weeks away, I thought an expansive project due the day of exams would be just wonderful!"
Everyone in class groaned. Jared had a strange way of doing things. If he heard someone complain about the work he gives he would purposefully give a pop quiz on an important day for that student, but sometimes he was the opposite. If a student was stressing he would plan a free day to help that student relax. Sometimes he would even tutor them if they asked.
"Just kidding! The principal will be here tomorrow to evaluate me so I have to pretend to teach something. So today I will be in my office planning while you all behave and watch Avengers. Oh, but one thing I will do is separate boys and girls. I do not want a repeat of last week's events Ms. Yutana and Mr. Garrison."
The whole class laughed. Tori Yutana and Andrew Garrison were notorious for having sex any and everywhere in school, and Mr. Leto's class was no exception. Tori's hair had gotten stuck in the zipper of Andrew's pants, and as a result Tori had to cut her hair a few inches shorter and Andrew couldn't where those pants ever again.
"Ladies get the bleachers, guys get the floor." All the guys moved to the floor and I sat right in front of the bottom bleacher, so I could be close to Moxxi.
"That's a little too close there gentlemen, in front of the black line please," Jared motioned to the line of black tiles that were three feet away from the bleachers.
I looked at my uncle and rolled my eyes. I stood and made my way up when Jared motioned me over.
He moved back into his office, and I followed him. "I'm speaking as both a teacher and an uncle when I say this. Use caution around that girl. I've been here long enough to know that there are some girls you want to steer clear of."
"Oh my god, I am not having this conversation with you. Although I am grateful for what you've done for me and my mom these passed few weeks, but it's my private life, and I'll be making my own choices."
He looked at me as if to say I'll regret it, but said, "You're right. I shouldn't interfere." Then he turned back to his paperwork.
I left his office and saw someone had already started the movie. I looked at Moxxi and she smiled sweetly. I winked at her and sat down ignoring the movie the moment my phone buzzed in my pocket.
Moxxi: what was that about?
Me: just some stuff about schoolwork when I got suspended.
Moxxi: oh, ok. So how about we ditch school early and have some fun? ;)
Me: can't. rugby tryouts.
Moxxi: please? :(
Me: maybe another day.
I didn't get a response after that.
Finally it was time for rugby tryouts. I was happy to find that Adam wasn't here today, so things went smoothly. The coach had us run a few drills that tested out agility, and not to brag, but I was the best.
"Alright the coaches will look over you're performance and evaluate you. The final cut will be posted on the school announcement board tomorrow morning. Thanks for coming and trying out, I look forward to working with you," the coach said giving us all a round of applause.
"Gunnar!" Moxxi said waving at me from the side line.
"Hey," I said approaching.
"Can we get out of here now?" She pleaded.
"Yeah let's go." I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and walked to her car.
