We won the game. It was pretty much a blow out and the game should've been over a couple minute ago because of it. Seeing Gavin play only made me crave him more and I can't wait until the party.
"I'll see you guys later," I smile at Tammy and Hailey.
"Of course," Tammy smiles and hugs me goodbye along with Hailey.
My smile towards Hailey is a bit fake, though. I still can't wrap my head around her liking Nick. I mean, he's a good looking guy and is really nice, but I just don't like the idea of them.
Gavin: meet me by the locker room
It doesn't take me long to find the place where Gavin told me to meet him, and by that time, Devon has already left. I wish I could've congratulated him on the win, but I can always do that at home.
"You coming to the party, Bella?" I look up and immediately back away.
"Yeah," I nod, trying to think of an escape route.
"Don't look so nervous," Darren smiles wickedly, pulling out a cigarette and lighter.
"You can't smoke in here," I scold him. I'd rather not get caught on camera associating with a guy who is disobeying the rules.
"So?" He smirks, lighting the stick anyway. "Whose going to tell?"
I open my mouth to say something when the locker room door finally opens and out walks Gavin and Richard.
"How's it going Johnson's?" Darren keeps that smirk on his face while greeting the brothers.
"Nothing," Richard mumbles and pushes past me, not looking in my direction at all. I watch him walk out the door with a confused mind set.
"What's up with your brother?" Darren asks, looking baffled.
"Don't ask me," Gavin shrugs and pulls me by the waist to his side.
"So your girl said you guys are making an appearance at the party tonight?" The guy asks, looking excited and dangerous.
"Um," Gavin blinks. "Yeah, we are."
"Good," Darren nods, blowing smoke out of his mouth. "Good. I'll see you guys there then, Chanel's waiting in the car and you know how she can get."
So Darren and Chanel are screwing around now?
"Right," Gavin nods and we watch Darren leave before he turns to me. "Ready to go?"
"Yup," I breathe. I totally thought he would question me about what Darren and I were talking about. I'm glad he didn't, though.
"I love you," he smiles and presses his lips to my forehead.
"I love you too," I smile up at him. Tonight seems like it could actually go good.
•••
Getting to the party doesn't take long, and the house is even more packed than usual because of the win.
Gavin and I walk hand in hand into the house, grabbing a drink in the kitchen before heading out to the couch where the majority of his friends are.
Like last time, I'm pulled on to Gavin's lap instead of sitting on my own personal cushion.
"Good game tonight, Johnson," Antonio claps Gavin on the shoulder, sitting across from us.
"Thanks," Gavin looks up at him briefly before taking a huge gulp of his drink.
"Have you got any scholarships to colleges yet?" Antonio questions, not looking the least bit effected by Gavin's short responses.
"Nope."
