Just Not Meant To Be

2~ Her

I notice he says sister and I jog over there.

“When did your ugly ass get a hot ass sister?” Tanner says and puts her down. I see that she looks scared, I slowly walk up and think of her name.

“Tatum?” I whisper when I'm close enough. She looks up and I’m face to face with the most beautiful girl ever.

She stays silent.

“I’m Ashton.” I said pushing my hand forward. “We know each other, But you don't remember me. I wont hurt you.” Her face goes from scared to relieved.

“Aston right?” She speaks.

“Ash-- Ashton. With a h.” I explain.

“Oh. Sorry. How do you know me?” She asks using her hand to move her strands of hair away from her face.

“We pretty much grew up together, Until the 3rd grade. I'm masons Best Friend.”

“I'm sorry, I don't remember you . but you seem nicer than him and every other person here.” She says and points to Tanner.

“Well hes a football player and they think they run the whole school, When really everyone knows the soccer players do.” I explain.

“What do you play?” She asks, And I turn to her giving her all my attention.

“Soccer. I'm co-captain. Mase is captain, hes pretty good.” i say and motion her to come sit in the bleachers. As we sit, Mase comes over.

“What happened?” I ask.

“He won't be bothering Tatum anymore.” he sits and looks at his little sister.

“Hey sis.”

“Hi mason.”

“Call me Mase. Uhm-- Do you remember me?”

“Sorta, Where’s Landon?”

“He goes here too, Hes just a sophomore.” Mase explains, I take my phone out. And take a photo of the siblings bonding after eight years. I put my phone back in my sweats and rest back. Since it's Wednesday, every gym class can get the balls out and play whatever; or we sit in the bleachers like lazy people. I decided to get my lazy self up and get my soccer ball from my locker. I jog inside and hear heels click. I turn to see Janessa my "girlfriend". She automatically thought, since I was a jock that I would go for the most popular girl in the school. I went with it till 2 weeks ago, when she asked me to do-the-do. I declined, ever since then she's been clingy to me every second.

"Hey Ashton."

"Janessa."

"I saw you talking to that girl. Do you not love me anymore?" She says batting her fake eyelashes.

"She's a family friend. And we over as of last week. Leave. Me. Alone." I say saying the last three words slowly.

"You don't mean it right?"

"I very much do." I slam my locker and leave her in the boys locker room. "There's a girl in the guys locker room." All the guys ran in but Mason and the nerds all the way in the east corner.

I bounced the ball and started juggling it with my feet. I look towards Mason and Tatum and see he's gone and she's sitting there alone. I stop the ball and jog to Tate.

"Where did Mase go?"

"Bathroom. You seem pretty good too. Why is Mason captain and your CO?"

"It was a team vote."

"Oh. Is there a girls team?"

"Yeah. thinking about joining. There really good. About as good as us."
