I woke up on Friday and got ready for school. My appointment to the doctor would only take a little while. If he said I could go I was going to school. My boyfriend had a football game and I was NOT going to miss it. Harrold drove me to the doctor. He prodded my throat and listened to my stomach. He said I could go and Harrold drove me to school. My teacher said she was glad to see I was doing better. I missed watching holes and she said I could watch it at home and write a three paragraph essay on the plot. I thanked her and got to work. When it came to lunchtime I found Colbilyne, she was wearing Nick's jacket. I was wearing Carter's jacket. We sat at our normal table and Carter, Nick, and Justin walked over to us Carter took my hands and Nick took Colbilyne's and they led us onto the platform. My heart was beating fast.I sat between Carter and Colbilyne Nick was on her other side. People were staring at me and I turned and glared at them. Carter got a text and got up angry. Justin got up too and they both walked out. Colbilyne and I looked at Nick. He shrugged. I got up and followed them out. I heard fighting and assumed that they were hounding someone else. To my surprise when I found them they were fighting each other.
''WHY ARE YOU GOING OUT WITH COURTNEY?'' Carter yelled.
''WHY DO YOU CARE YOU GOT CASEY!'' Justin yelled back.
''SHE'S MY EX IT'S JUST MESSED UP!''
''YOU DUMPED HER OKAY! WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE WANT!''
''WHAT DOES IT MATTER JUST BECAUSE SHE CHEATED DON'T MEAN I DON'T REGRET DUMPING HER!''
''JUST GO GET BACK TO CASEY AND MAYBE YOU'LL REALIZE HOW LUCKY YOU ARE TO HAVE HER!''
''WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM WITH ME AND CASEY?''
''DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT MAYBE SHE WAS THE QUIET GIRL I ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT?''
''WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!''
''BECAUSE SHE LIKES YOU! DON'T YOU GET IT? CAN I BE HAPPY JUST ONCE? I'M HAPPY WITH COURTNEY!'' Justin punched Carter, hard. They were fighting now and I had to break it up.
''HEY KNOCK IT OFF BEFORE I BEAT YOU BOTH!'' I yelled placing myself between them.
''I heard everything. Listen I like Carter and I'm happy with him. Carter you can't have me and Courtney both. Justin is your best friend and you should want him to be happy. If he finds happiness with Courtney you should support that. I'll ignore the part where you regret dumping her because I know you were just angry. Justin you should have told Carter you were dating Courtney. You two hug it out or whatever. I'll see you back in lunch.'' With that I walked away. The rest of the day was pretty boring until the end. I was walking home and Courtney stopped me.
''Stay away from Carter.'' Her voice was low and dangerous. I was gonna have fun with that.
''Aww sweetie he's not yours anymore, it's not my fault you couldn't keep your lips to yourself.''
''Keep talking Lockergirl, but if you keep going down the path you're on I'll ruin you're life.''
''I'm pretty sure for you to be able to do that people would have to listen to you and hate to break it to you honey but no one believes anything you say anymore.'' She stormed off angry. I walked away smiling.
I painted my face with the school colors. Just your basic battle stripes. I got in the car with Harrold and we went to the game. We got front row seats, thanks to Cason, he reserved them for us. The game started and Cason got the ball. He dodged some guys and Carter tackled some. He was ten yards from a touchdown when this big guy came out of nowhere. He froze for a minute, Carter got behind the guy and into the end zone. Cason saw his opportunity and threw the ball, Carter got it and fell to the ground because of the force Cason threw the ball with. we ran seven more plays. We were in the lead thirty seven to nineteen. We made the last touchdown and the game was over. The player's girlfriend's rushed the field and Carter waited for me. He held out his hands and I jumped the fence and ran into his arms. He took me to the middle of the field, the lights shining on us as we were surrounded in the darkness. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me gently, the whole world faded away, it was perfect. He pulled away and we started laughing. Cason came up and picked me up bridal style. He told Carter to watch where he put his lips and carried me to the car. When we got home I fell asleep thinking about my perfect first kiss.
