USWNT - High School

Chapter 5

Alex's POV

"Alex, I'm leaving!" Jeri yelled from downstairs, knowing I was in the middle of homework. "Okay." I yelled back down, trying not to get annoyed at my older sister. I heard some mumbling then the door shut close.
Seconds later there were footsteps in the stairs, and my heart started raising. There's no one home tonight.
"It's just me, Lex." A familiar voice spoke from the hallway now, calming me instantly. "Tobin, you scared me." I said as I turned my chair around to face her as she entered the door.
"Sorry." She smiled, immediately being contagious. "How'd you get in?" I asked, realizing the door must've been shut. "Ran into Jeri on the way out, she told me 'no funny business', should I be scared?" She laughed, bumping down on my bed. I shook my head at my sister, who knew all too well about my little crush on my best friend.
"Don't mind her, so what do you wanna do?" I brushed it away, not wanting to explain why I think Jeri said that. "What were you doing? Is that calculus?" Tobin asked, peaking over at my books. "Yeah, but I don't understand shit." I said annoyed, hating that I never got the hold off maths. "Let me help." Tobin got up from the bed, before turning my chair around to face the desk. She leaned down over my shoulder, keeping her one hand on the back on my chair. I couldn't help but look at her as she focused on the papers in front of her, loving the way her face forms when she does. She has this intense look, somewhat similar to her game face. She always looks chill no matter what she's doing and it amazes me.
"Ey, eyes over here." Tobin suddenly looked at me sideways, causing our faces to be breathtakingly close. I quickly turned to look at the papers in front of me, hoping I wasn't blushing too hard seeing I just got caught staring at her. I noticed she was smiling, tiny smug on her face.

After what felt like endless time of calculus, probably not a lot more than an hour or so, we decided to watch some Netflix. We squeezed together on the bed, having my laptop in front of us. We decided to watch American Horror Story, just because Tobin loves it. And I love watching her when she watches it because she gets so into it and it's adorable.
I actually kinda hate horror, but she makes it worth it when she lets me snuggle into her.
We started season 3, Tobin's favorite one. At the beginning she does her usual rant about how no one likes this season and she can't understand why because this and this. I just sit there smiling like an idiot watching her each time. I love seeing the passion in her eyes when she gets worked up about something.
"Come here." Tobin immediately wrapped her arm around me as the intro started, knowing that's my least favorite part. I snuggled close to her, letting myself get comfortable on her chest. She looked down at me, smiling sincere as she looked back to the screen. She looked happy, and I loved that.

Tobin's POV

Feeling Alex snuggled up against my chest, leaning my head on hers while watching my favorite series, it doesn't get much better than this. I can't stop smiling when I look down at her, and it says a lot that I look more at her then the show.
When we lie like this, I find it hard to focus on anything but her honestly. She's so warm and beautiful, I could do this right here forever.

After a little while I noticed Alex's breathing getting slower and deeper, seeing she had fallen asleep in my arms. The sight made me smile even more, but being careful not to move and wake the sleeping beauty.
I removed the computer and placed it on the nearby table, and trying getting the covers over Alex the best I could without waking her.
Soon enough I felt my eyes get heavier as well, and with my best friend in my arms, I fell asleep to the sound of her soft snoring.

The next morning

Hope's POV

'On my way' I read Carli's text as I got out of the shower, not being the slightest bit ready to leave for class.
I had overslept, probably because I pretty much fell asleep an hour ago. I was awake all night driving myself crazy with overthinking.
I like Kelley, everyone knows that by now. Even she does. And I know there's no real reason for me to not let myself give in to her, I'm just so afraid. Afraid of being of bad influence, afraid of breaking her heart, but probably most afraid of her breaking mine. I've never felt the way I feel about her towards anyone, hell I've never been in love before at all. Not that I am now, it's too early to say. But I like her in a different way than those other girls. They were just to keep myself busy, Kelley is nothing like that. I know Ashlyn was right about me having changed, I have. I just don't know if I can trust myself, let alone trust myself with Kelley.

"Hope, you ready?" Carli was yelling from downstairs, having locked herself in. She has a spare key to my apartment, seeing as she's always sober and I'm always passed out drunk. Let's just say its come in handy more than once. "Almost." I said back, throwing on some clothes. "I highly doubt that." I heard her mumble, causing me to smile.
"You look fine, let's go." Carli was suddenly standing by the bathroom door, waving me out. "Kelley will think you look good either way." She added, smiling a little cocky. I glared at her in the mirror, before turning around.
"You're driving tonight, right?" I changed the subject, hoping she would drop it. "Yeah, should I be worried?" She asked, leaning against the frame of the door. "Maybe." I mumbled, finishing up my mascara.
"I don't want a repetition of last time." Carli said as I walked past her through the door.
"Let's go." I ignored her statement, knowing I could not guarantee such thing.

"We totally gotta mess a little with the newbies, come on." Ashlyn and HAO were discussing the party during lunch, clearly being over the top excited. "You're not getting them drunk." Ali shot in, holding her girlfriend's plan back.
"I wasn't saying that." Ashlyn defended herself, turning to look at Ali. "But it would be fun though." She added, cracking a smile.
"Help me out here, Solo." Ashlyn now turned to me, and I was slightly taken aback.
"I don't know, I say we behave." I had to agree with Ali, to Ashlyn's disappointment that is.
"Damn, why you going all soft on me now?" Ashlyn shook her head, still smiling at me.

(A/N: a little short chapter, but the next ones will get all the girls in one place, and drunk on top of that! Fun things will happen;)
