I'm so tired of being shy even though I try to get out of my comfort zone I still manage to go back to square one.Im the girl that everyone knows as "the quiet girl in the back," yeah that's me Alex Stone.It really doesn't help that my older brother was the most popular guy back in his high school years , according to everyone I have a lot to live up to.
Dont you just love going to school with girls who think they are the last dimond on earth, and boys who act like they are some kind of god? Well everyone except my friend Lisa.
My friendship with Lisa all began back in the first grade when she stoled my lunch...yeah she's that type of girl.Now ten years later she still continues to steal my fries every time I am distracted.... which would be 24/7."How many times do I have to tell you to speak up for yourself?" She said while taking a bite of my now half eaten burger.
"HEY!!" I sigh and look around the school cafeteria."I just can't...everytime I try to say something to other people nothing comes out of my mouth".
"I can't be there with you all the time to protect you," She says while taking her calculus book out.I got up and managed to throw my plate away without tripping."I don't need protection from the boys," I said sitting down.
"What about the girls? They are fake like Kim Kardashian's butt," I laughed at her accurate comment."Come on we are juniors, I been dealing with this girls since freashman year they don't scare me".
As soon as the last word left my mouth the front door of the cafeteria opened.There he was standing in his soccer uniform ,the most handsome guy in Lakeview High.
Jace Black is not only the captain of the soccer team but top of the popularity chain, he's the guy every girl fantasizes about.Brown hair,color eyes, and perfect body.He walks in the cafeteria and heads straight to where you all already know...the popular kid table is."Close your mouth you are going to catch flies chiquita," Lisa said.
I immediately looked at her as if she was crazy,"huh?..me staring at Jace? You are funny aren't you forgetting something? he is an ass!He is not my type" she scoffs,
"You have to be blind to pass that fine piece of man...although you are right..he does have an ass," I pushed her lightly as the bell rang."Ugh talking about the God of Lakeview I have him for Cal next period" I say making my way to my next class."Wait for meee..." she catches up to me her long red hair slapping people as she walks.Lisa is not exactly a nobody... if it wasn't because of me dragging her down she would totally be popular material,she has long legs and fair skin..shes also captain of the varsity volleyball team.She has asked me to join the team a couple of times since I don't exactly suck at it...but I always pass.
Once I get in to class I take my sit next to the oh so hot Jace(note my sarcasm).I do my best to avoid eye contact with the 6ft hazeled eye giant. I sigh reliefed taking a seat getting my things out and ready to actually learn.
"Hey Mads," he said taking the pencil of my hands and playing with it himself.My eyes grew wide as I realize he was talking to me.
"Uh-h he-ey" I say my voice coming out like a squeak looking down at my calc book.He laughed and gaved me his "oh hey look at me I'm so hot" smile that has almost all the girls at his feet.The class went by surprisingly faster than the usual.During the class me and Mr.Im So Hot exchanged a few words like "Hey did you get 3 for number 6?," or "Can you help me?".
At the end of class I meet up with Lisa," hey!! Stay with me to watch the soccer practice," she says tugging my arm."Ugh hell to the No I won't waste the rest of the day watching the guys play soccer," we walked to locker room to get ready for the last class of the day PE."Pleaseeeee it's the only day I don't have practice we could bond while watching hot guys running around," she said while changing to her uniform.I considered her juicy offer I mean who wouldn't want to see a bunch of shirtless guys all sweaty."Fine I'm in" I said once I was changed and ready to go do whatever the coach wanted to do today.
We both walked to the gym and took a seat waiting for the daily announcements the coach always makes before we go stretch.
"Today during class period I'll be examining each one of you that I think can fill in the spot of one of our starter in the team that recently got injured so go and stretch and you will know after the class," coach said.We started stretching and doing our daily routine of running laps around the gym."You could make the team",she said breathlessly in between breaths.I tried to picture myself as a part of the volleyball team and it wasn't that bad it could help me get out of my comfort zone and try out new things."It-s not like I have a chance,".We continue and do some drills which I have to brag I didn't totally suck at.My favorite part of PE is getting to play a small game against each other...i always get so competitive.After class is over we go back and change waiting to hear the coach call out the names of the girls who are actually good at the sport.She called out a couple of names including mine then went ahead and said that we would have to come back tomorrow for practice and only one would make the team." Bish you did it!! Oh my god imagine both us in the same team oh god this could be awesome," Lisa says rambling until I stop her."hey breathe I get it," I laugh getting my stuff.
We walk side by side to the soccer field where the practice had just started.I sat down at the top of the bleachers looking at Lisa as she flirted with a guy from the team.She ran to me holding her phone up, "guess who just got a hot guys number?!," I laugh as I watch her sit down next to me, I really don't know how a girl like her could be friends with me.I looked back at the field my eyes landing in a certain hazeled eye boy. I had to admit the guy had talent if I was a scout I would offered him a scholarship right there."No wonder he's the captain" I said still looking at him as he passed the defence and scored a goal.He scanned the bleachers that were filled with the cheerleaders and his eyes landed on me giving me his gorgeous smile.I looked down red like a tomato trying to hide it from Lisa who would make it into a big ass deal.
"What was that," she said looking at me with her always at use smirk.
"Um nothing you know I have to get home I forgot my brother is coming back for a break," I get up getting my stuff."I'll see you later Lisa" I said walking to my car as Lisa shouted 'goodbye'. I avoided everyone until I was safe in the inside of my car.I got home and was suddenly tackled by a strong guy in a Princeton hoodie."little sister!!! So great to see you...did you get taller?!," my big brother Jake said while crushing the air out of my now weak lungs.
"He-y c-ant breathe," I said as he pulled away laughing.I walked to the kitchen to my parents talking about how Jake has a 4.0 GPA.
"Yeah isn't he great," I said rolling my eyes."oh hey there Mads dinner is almost ready," my dear mother said putting the plates at the table."Um not hungry" I said as I walked to my room not really in a mood to hear my parents brag about how great their prodigy son is.Sometimes I hoped my parents would talk about me the same way they talked about Jake.And maybe winning a spot In the volleyball team could make them proud.All I have to to is hope that I got what it takes...
