My First Crush

Chapter 6: Forgive me then Kiss me.

Evan´s POV

I spend almost all night thinking how to make Cece forgive me, because I could image she was still furious at me. I was kind of sleepy when I arrived to school but luckily our French teacher was ill and only left us excercices that I finished in a few minutes. Everyone else was working in them and I practically knew no one so I was kind of board. I caught a guy near me looking at an American football page in his cell phone. I really miss playing, back in Paris I trained rugby, but coming here made me quit, though here American football was quite popular.

"Do you play?" I didn't realize I had been staring at his cell phone for quite a while so he must have seen me and asked.

 "Ummm... Yeah back in France, but rugby" I replied.

"Well I don't know if there are that many differences."

"I don't know... the positions in the court are different, you are 11 and we are 15, also I find interesting the fact you can´t onl pass the ball backwards” I said getting carried away.

“Yeah but you get used to, what position did you played?” he asked.

“Hooker” I answered.

“Oh, great position, though I don't know many of them, I think you'd be like a quarterback, center or wide receiver here. I’m the fullback of the team, by the way: Nate Harper" he finished stretching me his hand.

"Evan....." I said shaking it. Wait, he said Harper? I didn’t believe in coincidences but I was sure he was related to Cece. 

“Evan, cool... see you then” he said leaving the cell phone in the desk and getting out of the class as the bell rang.

I know I shouldn't had, but I really wanted to find out if they were related and I just couldn’t ask them, neither of them! Plus there was nobody in the class as breaktime had started. I quickly grab his cell phone, and luckily it had no password. The sports page was still opened so I closed it and opened his contacts... Cece... Cece... I found her! I knew it they were related, in her contact photo they were both in some old man arms when they were little, Cece was also damn cute when she was a kid. The man in the picture could have been their grandfather, so they could be cousins or even better, siblings. There were like 2 minutes left of break yet I risked myself and copy her cell number to my contact's agenda. A group of what I thought were nerdy girls entered so I quickly blocked it again and left it in his desk. Seconds later the class was crowded again and Nate came back next to me "Hey dude were you in here all breaktime? You are really new in here, don't know much people yet, do you?" he said.

I just smile politely, what he was expecting me to say? No, sorry I’m an anti-social?

 “Come on lets go to the lab” he said, so we both grabbed our fodders and headed to our next class.

My plan was working out pretty good. After school Nate and I were going to pay a visit to the coach for him to let me in the team but he was not in his office till 6 pm. Therefore I indirectly asked him if we could wait in his house, because I believed that if he was his brother, she would be there. And that made me damn happy.

Yes! I knew it! Once inside his house that was not so far from school, we were walking down the corridor, that got to his bedroom, when I found her. Well, I didn´t really saw her but there was a family photography, and there she was there with a pretty smile….

“Is there any problem?” Nate asked. Fuck I had have been staring the picture too long.

“No nothing man” I said and we continued walking.
