Dawn

Chapter 8

Dawn Pov.

"Mommy, can I go to the game tonight?"

"Who you going with?" She asked.

"Myself."

"Okay. I don't care." I squealed and went upstairs to find where I put my school shirt at.

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤♡

Once I got there, I sat where Sarah and Peter were sitting. They like coming to the games too, this is my second time coming.

"Hey Dawn!"

"Hey Sarah. Did the game start?"

"You missed the girls playing but the boys didn't play yet." She said.

"Okay." I got on my phone until the boys came up. I didn't cheer until I saw Chris come on the court.

"Dawn, why aren't you cheering for the rest of the team?"

"I'm here to see Chris play. Not the others." I Said.

¤¤¤¤♡

Our team ended up winning, everyone seemed to be happy. I know I was.

Since the boys went back to the locker room, I decided to go ahead and go home. He probably won't come out till late.

When I was about to exit the gym, I heard someone call my name.

I turned to see Chris walking up to me, he was pretty sweaty.

"You just gon leave me without speaking?" He asked bringing his arm over my shoulders.

"I thought you was in the locker room."

"I was, but I wanted to see you."

".....hey Chris."

"Hey Dawn."

"You have a lot of sweat on you. Ew." I said.

"Whatchu said?"

"I said you have a lot of sweat on you."

"I just got done playing." He said pulling me closer.

"Stop, you're getting sweat on me."

"I want a hug Dawn."

"Once you take a shower." I said pulling away.

"But I want a hug."

"Bye Chris." I ran outside with him on my trail.

Being the athletic person he is, he ended up catching me and pulled me into a big hug.

"Ewwww, Chris!"

"Did I make you mad?"

"No, you made me sweaty!" I said wiping my sweat infested face off.

"I'm sowwy." He gave me the pouty face which I found so cute.

"Gimme a hug." I held my arms out.

"I thought you didn't want a hug?"

"I do now." I said as he gave me a bear hug, lifting me off the ground.

"Aw, y'all cute." I heard someone say.

It was one of them boys Chris usually hangs out with.

"Man. Shut up." Chris said releasing me.

"Hey, I'm Dawn."

"Wassup. My name August, but you can call me dad--"

"What do you want August?" Chris interrupted.

"I wanted to meet Dawn. Pleased to meet you." He kissed my hand.

"Anyways, don't you have something to do?"

"Wassup Chris." Another boy walked up to us.

"This Dawn?"

"Yeah, bye." He said waging.

"Wait, my name Tremaine but you can call me Trey or Trigga."

"Nice to meet you." I said shaking his hand.

"Welp, we're going back to my car now. Bye." Chris pulled me away as the boys laughed.

"They seem nice."

"Yeah, they SEEM nice." He said sitting on his trunk. I sat beside him and looked at his side profile.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer."

"Okay." I got my phone out as he laughed.

"Smile."

"Get in the picture." He said. I switched it to selfie mode and smiled. He kissed my cheek as I snapped the picture.

"Send that to me." He said and grabbed my hand. He tends to do grab my hand a lot. I don't mind, but it keeps me wondering.

"My mama said I have to get home after the game. She's gonna kill me if I don't leave soon." I said.

"Okay. Want me to take you home?"

"You didn't see the new car in the driveway?"

"Yeah, but I thought it was your mom's." He said as I led him to it.

"No, its mine. She doesn't like it when I take the bus home so she got me a car."

"You have a driver's license?"

"Yeah. Had one ever since last year." I said getting the keys out.

"Oh. You bout to go now?"

"Yeah it's 10:45."

"You don't wanna stay here with me?" He asked making the pouty face again.

"I want to, but I can't."

"Okay. Give me a hug before you go." I opened my arms as a smile found its way to my face.

He embraced me into a big hug which I enjoyed and pulled away. But when he pulled away, he just stared at me. Why? I don't know.

"Do I have something on my face?"

"No, Goodnight." He said. I reached up and kissed his cheek which sent a smile to his face.

"Goodnight."

I got in my car and drove away.

The butterflies started to come again. Everytime I get around him they come. Does this mean anything?

If so, what does it mean?

"What happened over there with you and Dawn?" August asked.

"Nun, she had to go home so she went."

"Tell the truth, you like her?"

"Nope."

"C'mon man, we see the you look at her." Trey said.

"And you talk about her non-stop, just admit it."

"We're just friends, nothing more."

"That's what they all say.." August said.

"We still goin going to that party?"

"Nah man, I'm going home." I said.

"Aww, he just wants to go back home to see his baby, that's all."

"Whatever, see y'all tomorrow." I said doing our handshake and left.

Honestly, I don't know how I feel about Dawn.

Sometimes I feel like I like her and sometimes I feel like we're just friends.....good friends.
