Chap 4: Ray

Chapter 4: Ray.

Why does there always have to be drama at St.Lawrence High School? Everyday is gossip over gossip and lies over lies. This isn't High School, this is hell. The girls are constantly trying to be better than there friends. The guys are constantly trying to make themselves seem stronger than there peers. But Ray, Ray-short brown hair gray eyes with a muscular frame-was going to change all this. He didn't know how but he was.

"Hey Ray-Ray."
"Oh, hey Caylen whats up?"
She had her light red lipstick on which all the boys loved.
"Just wanted to see if you were busy later?" She winked at him and bit her lip.
"Actually I am, I have... Uh, homework. Ya, homework." He didn't want an intercourse with Caylen, he had his sights set on someone else.
"Alright well c-ya around." He quickly walked away before she could another word.

This is what he meant, too many beautiful women who throw themselves to immature boys. Too many guys who go along with it. He just hoped 'she' wasn't one of those girls.

"Hey Katrina"
"Hey Ray."
"Whats with Caylen? Shes acting a bit strange." Katrina laughed.
"What? Am I missing something?"
"She lost her V-Card." Startled Ray took a step back. Where they messing with him or is she really telling the truth?
"Look, I'm serious, it was too Charlie."
"Charlie? You mean FootBall Charlie? How did she convince him to do that?" Kat shook her head.
"I don't know."

The bell rang. 1st hour.

Ray had always been a good boy, he had always been strong, a mamas boy to be exact. He was smart, handsome and really well put together.

"Hey Ray, wanna pass a ball?"
"Sure."
"Heads up." _ passed a football to him in a perfect spiral, he caught it perfectly and joined his friends.
"Nice catch bro."
"Thanks man." He was on the varsity football team. One of the best.
"Oh crap I actually have to go." He looked down at his phone and left.

"Hey ladies." Ray walked over to Kayla and her friends.
"Hey Tommy why don't you come play football with us later, we need new recruits." Tommy nodded his head.
"Sure, why not?"
"Great."

There she was. Wren. She was beautiful, long black hair with dark hazel eyes she was about 5'6 he was just about three inches taller. He wanted to ask her out badly, but he knew he couldn't. They had been friends since she shared her juice box with him in 2ed grade. Sure he could of asked her out in 7th or 8th grade but he knew his heart would be broken. He didn't know how she felt about him so it was no use, and getting over her wasn't an option.

"Hey Ray."
"Hey Wren." His palms always got sweaty when be was around her, he always got butterfly's in his stomach when she talked to him.
"Can you help me re-wire a computer
in the lounge?"
"Sure." They walked to the lounge not a word was said until they got there.
"So do you know how to do this?" Ray asked uncertain.
"Not a clue." She looked at the wires like messy hair.
"Well we better learn." Ray looked up to where the wires were leading.
"why don't you get the ladder and see whats up there." Ray suggested.
"Okay." She got the ladder from the janitors closet and began to climb up. When the very top she opened the door The wires and they're very messy she saw one plugged in where The one she had and her Hand was supposed to go. Wren tugged hard on the wire, it didn't come out yet. So she can't even harder, it came out but she flung backwards. Ray was ready and caught her.
"That was scary, thanks for catching me."
"Yeah, no problem. Are you okay?" He said, he was worried, his heart was thumping, he was scared for a moment.
"I think we should go." Wren suggested, still a bit Traumatized.
"Yeah, I agree."

Wren was skipping down the hall, Ray was at her side. She stopped them both, she grabbed him and pulled him close, she leaned in for a kiss. Ray leaned in too, and kissed her soft lips. He was in heaven. He fell head over heels.

"Will you go out with me?"

"I've been waiting years for you to ask me that question."

Jessie had been eating lunch when she saw him. Beck-short blonde hair with amber eyes-, he was the hottest guy in school-in her opinion-she could stare at him for days, weeks, years... She could always find a way to make a guy like her, but Beck he was a hard one. He didn't fall for girls easily, he was well respected. Jess could see how his friends treated him. He was the Alpha of his pack. He looked at and motioned to her to come and join his little group. She got up with her chocolate milk, and headed to his little group.
