Should I Love You?

Chapter 9

A/N: Kyle.

I pull on some skinny jeans and a regular band tee. I grab my hoodie and pull it on. I look at the time. 6:50.

I go downstairs and see my mom on the couch watching tv.

"Hey mom."

She doesn't reply. I sigh. I grab a bottle of pop from the fridge and sit at the kitchen counter. I look at the tv. Watching whatever she's watching.

I hear my phone vibrate. I grab it.

Ian: On my way. See you in 10.

I smile.

Me: Okay.

I grab an orange and start peeling it.

"Let's see if I can eat this orange in ten minutes." I mumble to myself.

I start eating. While timing myself on my phone.

"With 7 minutes left. Cazey has finished  peeling her orange. Will she be able to finish before her dates get here?" I say. Using a banana as a microphone.

I eat a slice. Checking the time.

"5 minutes left." I say. Acting like a sports announcer.

I take another slice. "I swear oranges are the only fruit I'll eat."

Soon I finish it all.

"And Cazey finishes with 2 minutes left to spare before her date gets here. And the crowd goes wild!" I slam the banana on the table.

I laugh at myself. That was intense.

"Good job Cazey." I say to myself.

"Cazey. Keep it down." My mom says.

I look at the time.

6:59. If I remember correctly he always forgets about the extra minute.

I smile as I go to the foyer. I put my red high tops on. I go back to the kitchen and grab my phone. 7:00.

Just then I hear a knock. I walk over and open my door. I see Ian.

"I didn't leave the extra minute out." He says.

"Good job. Guess what?"

"What?"

"I finished an orange in ten minutes."

He laughs. "Good job."

I smile. I step out and close my door behind me. We both walk to his car. We get in and he drives to the school.

We pay for our ticket and find a seat in the bleachers. I look at the cheerleaders and see Opal and Jen. Awe. They look so cute.

Our school colors are black and white, so that's the colors of these cheerleading outfits. Opal is currently putting Jen's hair in a ponytail. I smile. Jen is totally the little sister out of us three.

I see Opal finish. Jen looks at me and Ian. She tugs on Opal and points over at us. They smile and wave. I wave back. Sydney looks over at us. She smirks.

I notice Sydney is looking at Ian. I look at Ian. He's watching the football players. Good only watch them. Only them. Don't look at Sydney.

I start watching the game. I have no idea what's going on. Ian has been trying to explain things to me, but I still don't understand it. This is why I don't play sports.

"I'm not ever gonna understand football." I say.

He laughs. "I just want someone to talk to about it with."
