It's 11:10 on a Friday and I'm in computer class trying to figure out what font I want my all about me essay for English to be in. The essay isn't due till the last day of first semester but I want to get it out of the way now. That's just how I am. I get out at 12:15 today but I can leave at 11:45 because seniors don't have to stay on campus for lunch if they don't have classes after lunch. I had to come back at 5 to make it in the tunnels that leads to the back to the locker rooms before they closed the gate.
I'm in the tunnels for like 45 minutes then the team comes out of the locker room. I have conversations with some and crack jokes just to lighten the mood and undo some nervousness for the players. Then they do their chant to get hyped up and then the game starts at 6. I stay on the field next to coach kind of assisting him in coaching. They call me their good luck charm because they every time I'm on field helping them out they win. One time I was really sick and couldn't make it to the game, and they lost, bad. Ever since then I've been at every game on the field next to coach and I love it. Coach even gives me service hours, which we need to graduate.
"Rayne boo I need your help" Lonnie a good friend of mine and the class president, came up to me and said.
"What is it Lonnie?" I said looking away from my computer.
"We are in desperate, girl, desperate need of your help. No one in ASB can come up with a theme for Winter Formal and it's frying my brain."She said sitting in the chair next to me.
"We neeeeed your help planning this Rayne. Pretty please with 10 strawberries on top." She said putting her hands together like she was praying.
"I don't know Lonnie" I said looking away from her to stop myself from laughing.
"Please Rayne, I'll do anything at this point. I'm desperate." She said poking out her lip.
"OK, I'll help" I said with a sigh.
"Yes! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." She repeated over and over again.
"OK so ASB is 2nd period and the meetings for winter formal are during lunch and sometimes before school. I didnt want them after school because I'm a senior and we get out early if we don't have classes." She said opening up her planner that she had in her hand.
"So when you get some ideas just let me know, but I need that theme ASAP. You already know you don't have to come to ASB but I need you in those winter forma meetings." She said writing something down in the planner.
"Wow you sound like a real planner Lonnie." I said laughing at her.
"You already know that's what im tryna do." She said laughing with me.
"Oh are you running for winter court?" She asked.
"I don't knooooow. I'm still thinking about it. Who all running?" I said.
"Well from what I've heard around a couple of people plan on running. For Frost Queen Lailah, Trenece, Nicky, and everyone from the thot pack but some of them might drop out because of Aleece. She's going around saying she's gonna win and you know people vote off of who's popular or well known. I hears some 9th graders are running for court too but we all know none of them gone win so that's all the way out." She said laughing.
"Dont we do King, Queen, Prince, and Princesses?" I asked.
"Yeah and a freshman won't get either unless its a cute boy that plays sports and hangs with upper class men." She said.
"Oh who's running for King?"
"Ummmmm Jamal, Christian, Tory, Landon, Chris, and Micah. More boys might want to run, but these are the people I heard were running."
"Oh" I said already making up my mind that I'm not gonna run for winter court.
"I really want you to run though. Just to shut that bitch Aleece up." She said rolling her eyes.
"Woooooooooh Lonnie. That came from the heart." I laughed.
"I'm serious. I would run but I'm in ASB and we can't run for winter formal. Prom? Yes. Formal? No." She said.
"Well I was considering prom queen but I'm not gonna do it if you want to run." I said.
"Oh no girl I'm not running. Its too much stress on top of all the prom prep so your clear."
"Can people who run for frost go for prom? I asked. I was curious and I didn't want to get caught up.
"Yes. The council was back and forth on the matter. They don't want to take that away from the seniors." She said rolling her eyes.
"OK I gotta get back to the office. Thank you so much for helping me boo I owe you one." She said getting up and walking out of the computer lab.
I put my earphones back in and went back to my essay. I was on the road with my essay when my music started vibrating. Taking it out of my pocket I saw that Landon was calling me. LAN stayed home today because he didnt feel like coming and nothing is happening in his classes today. Of course he faked sick for our Mom, but he told me the truth. I had a test in my 2nd period and I couldn't miss it.
"I literally have about 30 minutes before I'm walking through the front door. You can't last 4 and a half hours without me boo?" I laughed when I answered the phone.
"Ha ha bitch. I think you would aporeciate that I called you about this problem before you came home." He said.
"What? I know you not calling me to bring you some food." I said rolling my eyes.
"No Rayne. We have food in the house. I'm cooking chicken Fettuccini, but that's not why I'm calling." He said.
"Well what's wrong?"
"Promise not to freak in the middle of your class." He said.
"I promise." I said. He better not have ate my cookies. I know that much.
"Bitch Micah is here. Parked in the front of the house. He's just sitting in his car right now, I dont think he knows I'm here." He said. I was stuck.
'Is this man really at my house'
"Raaaaaayne!? Hello oo oo oo oo!? Say something Rayne." He said.
"I'll be there in a minute." I said hanging up the phone.
I can't believe this shit right now. This boy is really not backing down from this.
