CARTER JONES - Jock

"Later Carts," Sydney said.

He just waved. He was late for practice as it was. Carter just wondered what was with the way Sydney was acting. Carter rushed through getting ready for practice.

"You're late." The team captain said.

"Yeah, yeah, Luke. i have an excuse. Coach already knows." Carter said. Luke and him were friends. Just not the best of. During the water break, Carter decided to get ove whatever Sydney was paranoid about. "So, Luke, how's the girlfriend?"

"What are you talking about?" Luke repiled.

There was a silence as Carter processed this. "I heard that you found a girl. Possibly named Naomi."

"Naomi? I don't spend much time with her."

Okay, Carter was confused.

"You were wrong." Carter said. We were chilling in the band room.

I put down my magazine. "About what?"

"Syd, he said he doesn't spend time with her. Where'd you get the idea, anyways?" Carter continued.

I sighed, good thing I trust this boy. "I skipped last period yesterday."

He interrupted me. "I know that."

"Let me finish," I said. "I hung out on the roof. When I looked around, he was lip-locking with that bi-yatch on the bleechers."

"He probably won't tell me because I'm your friend." Carter said. "So do you like him?"

"Who does she like?" Laila said when she came in.

"If I told you, you would kill me." I said.

I wlaked over to her. "So is that a yes?" Carter questioned.

"That's an 'I don't know'." I replied.
