Falling For You (Literally)

Becoming Friends

My last chapter was pretty cringy I'll try making this one better <3

Ximena got to the spot in like where Aileen was. Ximena decided she would tell her even if it might mean Aileen would write a story on it.  "Aileeeeeennnnn, guess what," Ximena said, excited but nervous to tell her.

"We're all gonna die?" Aileen replied sarcastically. 

"No, even better, I ran into JB in the morning after you left to first period," Ximena stated. 

The bell rang and they went inside the locker rooms. The locker rooms were located in the back of the school and were basically just a huge room with rows of black lockers each with there own lock. Usually it was crowded but today there was a field trip for all 9th graders.

 "Ughhhhh!," Ximena exclaims in frustration, "I forgot my locker combination." After 5 mins of trying to remember her combinations she recalls that what it was. After changing in the locker rooms her and Aileen walk out.

"Oh my god," Aileen squealed, "I ship it #GOALLLSSSSSS." 

"Hahaha funny joke," Ximena replies.

"I'm serious dude you and JB would make a great couple ugghhhh you guys would be so perfect for eachother," Aileen exclaims.

"How are things with you and JR," Ximena asks.

"There still the same, sometimes I wish he would talk to me more," Aileen replies. "But on a happier note you talked to JB!!!"

"Coach Person is coming, go to your spot so you don't get in trouble," Aileen informs Ximena.

Ximena power walks to her spot and sits down on the hard, concrete floor.

"So today were doing something different," Coach Person announced, "I'm going to assign partners and so there is less talking each pair of partners has to have a girl and a boy." "The partners are..." He continues then Ximena's name is called and she gets partnered with JB.

"Goodluck," Aileen tells her friend while winking

Ximena and JB walk to the fenced, green field without saying a word.

"We're playing football yay," Ximena says to lower the awkward silence between her and JB. 

"So first we're gonna start with simple throws," Coach Person states, "throw it gently and like a rainbow."

Ximena stops paying attention and begins to day dream. What if I embarrass myself? That would be the end of me. JB doesn't look that bad holding a football it reminds me of those photoshopped sports magazines.

"Are you thinking about me?" JB questions.

"No-o-o," Ximena says slightly stuttering.

"You sure cause I'm pretty sure you were drooling," JB replies.

Ximena starts thinking again, well I just embarrassed myself, I should become one of those people that predict others futures cause I just predicted I would get embarrassed.

JB not saying a word suddenly throws the football, it's a perfect spiral but Ximena fails to catch it do to her being in a state of thinking so it crashes on the floor hitting the grass.

"Hey, I wasn't ready," Ximena tells him. 

"That's exactly why I threw it," JB says smirking.

JB ends up helping Ximena with her throwing by directing her hands on the football. Ximena can't keep it out of her mind that it's kinda like he's holding her hand excepting he's only slightly touching it.

Near the end of class JB starts singing, "WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS, WHY CAN'T WE BE FRIENDS."

"We can it's just I don't want to," Ximena replies.

JB begins to pretend to sob and fake cry. He then puts his hands to his face to make it more dramatic.

"Fine," Ximena states, "we can be friends but stop being a drama queen."

"I'm not a drama queen!!!" JB states and then shortly pauses, "I'm a drama king."
