Senior Year-Rucas

Chapter 11-Senior Jersey

Chapter 11

"I had a feelin' you'd be here?" Riley had her hair up in a high pony with a silver glittery ribbon, a BHS shirt and jeans with her boots.

"Aren't I always?" He leaned against the lockers and bit his lip. "You look gorgeous!"

"I'd like to think i'm festive." She joked. "The girls are ordering their senior jersey's today and we should have them by next game, so that's what i'll wear from then on."

"What's a senior jersey?" The brunette closed her locker and sauntered to class.

"It's a black jersey, and it's got your graduation year on the front and back so '16' and your last name on the back. Or you can customize it and get like a friends last name and number if they're on the football team." Lucas perked up at the sound of that.

"Soooo, what are you putting on yours?"

"I haven't decided yet. You got an idea?" The brown eyed girl realized that was flirty and put herself back in place.

"I like the idea of you sportin' my number. 23, if you wanna know."

"I knew." She sat in her desk and thought about it for a second, maybe she wanted to get his name and number.

"Ladies, if you'd be so kind as to come up to my desk and place your order for the senior jerseys." Riley slid out of her desk and walked up to the piece of paper. She read her name and filled out the necessary information. Right before she finished, she turned her head to the right and grinned at Lucas.

"What did you decide?"

"Guess you'll see."

"Oh, I forgot." He reached into his backpack and pulled out a tiny white flower.

"Oh my gosh! Bubblegum flower!"

He looked at her funny. "Is that the official name?"

She giggled. "No, I used to pick these when I was a little girl. I called them bubblegum flowers because they smelt like bubblegum." The cheerleader put the flower to her nose and inhaled. Her smile was huge. "Thank you, Lucas. This is probably my favorite one." Riley stood up and hugged him. "Hey, i've been meaning to ask you-"

"Okay! Project discussion time." Riley put up her finger, as in 'we'll finish later'. She was going to take Maya's advice and ask him about school. "You and your partner are going to be assigned a section in  your government book and teach it to the class. I'm lazy, what can I say? Power Point, and some sort of worksheet to go along with it. The project is due in 1 week. Get it? Got it? Good."

"Have you asked him yet?" Maya sat in her desk in front of Josh and was prying more than usual.

"No. I haven't. I haven't had a chance. And, I won't get to until maybe tonight at the Pit." Riley was taking notes.

"Why?"

"Well, they do the pep rally during 5th period because most seniors leave right after that class since they have outs. My 5th period is the next time i'll see him."

"Ugh, you're killin' me." The blonde pretended to be distraught.

"How 'bout you take notes and let the notes kill you." She laughed.

"Come on, you two mine as well be together. He brings you a flower every morning-"

"OH MY GOODNESS! I forgot to tell you, he brought a bubblegum flower this morning."
