The Pursuit of Happiness

9. Game Day

Hey peeps. Sorry for being away for a couple of days. I'm very sick so I been kinda lazy with the update. But I at least wanted to give you guys something. It's not as detailed as I would have liked it to be (but then again maybe that's a good thing? :p lol) but I still think it's a pretty decent chapter. Anyways, enjoy peeps! :)

"This is great! We're gonna be filthy rich!" Eddy exclaimed. He was looking at the make-shift stand I had constructed for our clothes.

I glanced at the stand and immediately felt sick to my stomach. Last night Ed, Eddy and I snuck into the sports equipment room and took shirts, sweaters, towels, foam fingers and other miscellaneous things.

Now we are at school on a Saturday, trying to sell stolen merchandise for the homecoming football game today.

*I have a bad feeling about this*

I was leaning on the fence next to the football field, still thinking about Kevin's confession to me.

Thursday night was when Kevin and I shared that glorious first kiss. Everytime I think about it, my lips start to tingle.

*It's as if we're still sharing that moment*

I started to blush. I wish it were true. I was actually anxious to see Kevin. The probability of him finding out about Eddy's scam was very high, considering that we were intending to sell it back to the people we stole it from. I shudder to think what he will do when he finds out.

*Did I ruin the relationship before it had even started?*

"Hey Sockhead!"

I turned around and a pair of keys hit me in the chest. I winced in pain.

"Make yourself useful and get more clothes from my truck" Eddy stated.

"Please refrain from throwing your keys at me Eddy. Would it kill you to ask nicely?" I picked up the keys and headed to Eddy's rust bucket of a truck.

I was at the door when I got pulled from behind.

"Well if it isn't my favorite dork" Kevin said softly in my ear.

I melted in his arms. I spun around quickly to kiss him but I remembered where we were standing.

"Kevin! You shouldn't do such things. What if someone should see us?" I asked. Although I would love to kiss him and hold his hand, I didn't want to ruin Kevin's hard-earned reputation. I didn't care what happened to mines. It paled in comparison.

Kevin chuckled. "Relax dork...no one is here except us." He leans in, his lips hovering over mines.

"Kevin sweetie! I've been looking all over for you!"

Kevin eyes became wide and immediately spun around. I frowned. This was the second time our kiss was rudely interrupted.

*Who in the world could it be now?*

Suddenly, a couple sprinted up towards us. They were a beautiful couple. The woman had long ginger red hair that glowed in the sun. Her freckles lightly dusted the bridge of her nose. The man beside her was gigantic with dark brown hair covering most of his face. He reminded me if the lumber jack type. What really captured my attention was his piercing dark green eyes.

*They look just like Kevin's*

"Mom. Dad. What are you guys doing here?" Kevin asked.

My eyes widened. I looked at Kevin, then at his parents. The resemblance was extremely uncanny.

"Wow. Great to see you too champ." Mr. Barr said, crossing his arms.
