As I walk into the gym I see someone, standing there in the bulldog mascot costume. Holding a foot ball that says, 'let's tackle homecoming together? ' I smile and can feel the heat rushing into my face.
As I slowly stride to the unknown person, my heart does a summer salt. I waste no time in pulling off the costume head.
Only to see Christian, I smile shaking my head. He looks at me, smiling ear to ear. "So? Will you tackle homecoming with me instead of tackling me?" I laugh.
"Yes, Christian I will go to homecoming with you." A small freshman boy runs out with flowers a maroon, white and black teddy bear. He hands them to Christian who hands them to me.
"Why did you go through all this trouble for a girl, 'who probably can't play ball?'" I smirk throwing his words back at him.
"Because sometimes assholes like me get shown up by a girl." We laugh and head towards the exit his 'paw' around my waist.
The whole group smiling, except for Matt. He seems bored.
"So, can I take you to lunch?" He asks. I look at my watch, shit! I have fifteen minutes till I need to be at central.
"Only if you wanna take me to Central high school." I remark pissed that I lost track of time so easily.
"What? Why would you need to go there?" He retorts clearly pissed.
"I take a class there every other day. " I reply. I keep forgetting that I didn't tell everyone that I'm in the program.
"Ohh. I guess. Little sophomore can't drive yet?" He jokes ruffling my hair.
"Ha ha ha." I sarcastically laugh.
"You know how much shit you are going to get for taking a sophomore to homecoming?" I say tediously. He just scoffs as we continue through the school parking lot. We stop in front of the Impala from the football game at my house.
"This is yours? " I scream. Eyes wide with excitement. This car is more amazing than my signed copy of Luke Bryans new album.
"Yeah. You like?" "I nod and climb in after him.
"it's fucking awesome. I'm jealous. " I say smirking at the leather interior.
"So what class do you take over at the shit hole? " he asks sounding disgusted at the idea of Central.
"Actually, I take JROTC." I say proudly. His smirk disappearing.
"Wait, really? No wonder Matt knew you could kick my ass." He says sounding shell shocked.
A wicked grin spreads across his face. "That's hot." I smack his arm only half playful.
"Don't be a pig, or I'll have to kick your ass again." He puts up a hand in defense.
"Okay I promise. Just don't kill me." As we pull through the Taco Bell drive through, he orders a Mexican pizza and a box meal.
"How did you know I like the Mexican pizza? are you stalking me?" I playfully yell.
"Actually, your brother said that you always get this." I roll my eyes. As we pull through to grab our food, I start to hand him some cash but he stuffs it down my shirt.
"What the fuck?" I say pulling it out.
"I'm paying for your lunch. Don't worry about it." So Damn cliche. He drops me off at central after our lunch. And when I see Matt he looks
pissed......
