The chance

chapter 3

Waiting until we heard the frount door close, Justin sat back down beside me. taking his doritos and orange pop, he tossed me my cola and pulled the crackers out from underneath the pillow.

Taking the jelly he dipped a cracker into the jar. Handing it to me. I was starting to think he forgot what to day was and i frowned as i put the cracker into my mouth.

"Im sorry about saying i was your boyfriend, and about cutting you off. It was the only way to get rid of him. I just assumed that it would be alright with you." He said putting another cracker into my mouth. "I wont do something like that again."

"Thats ok. I understand, you had to say that because you wanted him to leave. No other reason. But the weird thing is he looked about our age. Do you think he's going to be a new student?" i asked, trying to avoid the awkwardness. Swallowing my cracker.

"I hope not. Our school is the only one for miles around this crapy town. Just be on your guard around school, just in case that creep shows up. Ok? Can you promise?" he ask look at, pleading I smacked his arm.

"You don't even know who this creep is, neither do I. So you can't be calling him names. Our schools pretty big so I doubt that i would ever see him anyways." I paused and looked at Justin. He was still smirking so i added, "He was kind of cute though, don't you think?"

I asked teasing him. I took another cracker, dipped it in jelly, and popped it into my mouth. He stayed quiet for a couple of seconds, then sighed in frustration.

"I think he's too much of a hill billy red neck..." He trailed off and shot his head in my direction. "Wait, cute? You thinks he's cute?" he asked.

"Hmm. Yup. Just my type, really. Tall, mysterious, oh and he was very well built. Maybe a football player type. What sport do you thinkhe plays? I'm really curious. Dont you know i like guys who play sports?"

"Dont do this again. I dont want to fight with you." he paused. "you never told me you like guys who play sports. When did that happen?"he asked leaning against the bed frame. i decided to keep messing with him.

"Hmm. Well i guess i always have. Do you remember when we were in elementary school?" i asked laying back using my arms as a pillow. He nodded his head. Looking up at my Linkon Park poster on my celing.

"Well everyday when i was waiting for you at recess, i would always grab a ball so we could play with, but a boy named, um, Jason would always as if he could have it. Not only was he cute, he was also nice. So i gave it to him." I sighed remembering boy.

"But what did he have to do with sports? He was just some elementary boy." He said laying his head on my stomach draping his feet over the edge of the bed.

"Well you were absent at least once a week and because I didn't have any friends I brought out some coloring books and some crayons, and I would color by myself. Well at least for the first couple of weeks after that he invited me to play the game with them. Being a shy little girl I would always say "Let me watch you first, then maybe I'll play!" So I did." Looking down at him I smiled.

"So because he invited you to play you started liking guys who played sports? That's actually kinda stupid. No offense." He stated bluntly.

"No, that's not why! I noticed that whenever he played a game, he would always tried to involve me somehow." I sighed. "I guess he was my first crush in a way."

"That was what, almost nine years ago? Of course as a girl you still have a "crush" on him, don't you? You're acting like a little missy!"

"If you haven't noticed I am a girl! I have always been a girl. From the time i was a freaking egg, I was a girl. You are such a guy!" I said sitting up, offended. "I never said I still like him. He left after fifth grade. He also never talked to me when you were around." He sat up, pretty quickly actually.

"So your blaming me for not letting you have your elementary school romance. I'm sorry for being your only friend! I took pity on you because you..." He shut his mouth. "Thats not what I..."
