Mindless Love

21: Death Machine

*Leah Pov*

All that everyone was talking about was Nicole's birthday party this weekend, when just last week, everyone was raving on about the fight, trying to find out what happened. The rumors that I heard about how it went down were ridiculous. It boggles my mind how people even come up with this shit. Someone said that Nicki body slammed the poor girl, and someone else said they started fighting on the court, right in the middle of my game. I even heard that Nicki Sharkeisha punched Brianna. That one had me dying laughing.

But all that was over, and everyone was just focused on the party. Nicki had been preparing for her eighteenth birthday all her life, so their was no way she was gonna make any mistakes. She was going all out to make sure that this part would be the party of the century.

Chres, Jake, Serena, Craig, and I were currently sitting in french doing our best to follow what our teacher, Mr. Hecker was doing, but we all failed miserably.  In the end, we just said fuck it and did our own thing.

"So Leah, how did your game go?" Serena asked. "We won 3-1. Chres, Jake, did you guys get Nicki's fight on video?" I asked eagerly.

"I was too busy trying to help break up the fight. Only you would be worried about getting the video." Chres said laughing. I just shrugged. Jake snorted. "No, you were too worried looking at your girlfriend's ass to even process what was going on." I looked at Chres with a raised eyebrow, and he punched Jake in the shoulder, making us all laugh.

"I heard that Nicki body slammed the girl. Did that really happen?" Craig asked. Jake shook his head. "Naw, she just shoved her so hard she fell. But why weren't you there man?"

"I was chilling with my girl. " Craig said, throwing his arm over Serena's shoulder. Jake stiffled a laugh. "Yeah, you mean fucking your girlfriend." Craig hit him upside the head.

"At least my car wasnt damaged."Craig mocked. Jake turned serious at the mention of his car, his "baby".  "I'm gonna murder whoever did that to her." He seethed. The rest of us just laughed.

"Well anyway,"  Serena started, changing the subject. "Craig and I are gonna sing in the talent show!" We all turned are heads to Craig and asked "You sing?" in unison which was just a little creepy. He groaned.  "Serena, you weren't supposed to tell them!"

"When is the talent show anyway?" I asked. "Its like a few weeks after homecoming." Serena said.

"Good cause I wanted to juggle. " I said jokingly. Chres sucked his teeth at me. "Leah, I know damn well that you can't juggle." He Said.  I shot him a look that said 'try me', and he looked back at me with a challenging look on his face.

" Someone Give me three sheets of paper." I demanded. Serena ripped the sheets out of her binder laughing, and handed them to me. I balled them up, and got up from me seat. There were two paper balls in my right hand, and one in my left. I threw one up and began juggling. And just to see the look on the boys' faces, I did a trick where I threw two up at the same time, and before I caught them, I threw up the other one so that I created a sort of ripple. When I was done, all the boys were looking at me as if I had three heads.

"I swear I thought you were joking." Jake said, patting me on the back. I laughed and threw the paper balls away.

The bell rang and we all sprang out our seats,  desperate to get out of that classroom. I bumped into Kendall as I walked out, but he only smirked at me and walked off. Chres was about to chase him down after that, but thankfully I stopped him. We walked untill we came across the locker room, and we leaned against the wall to talk like we always did.

"Nice to know that I'm dating a circus freak. You never cease to amaze me." Chres said and I laughed. "I do try."

"You really did look great out there at your game." he complimented, playing with my hair. "When's the next one?"
