Boxer Girl Hates Mr Popular

[NINE]

Knowing groceries to feed all those people including Derrick, his family and myself we decided to take Derricks truck so we could fit a better amount of food.

"My family isn't even coming to visit for Easter." Derrick said after putting the last bag away and gave the cart to a worker passing by.

"Well my family is yours," I laughed and hopped into the truck ready to put some jams on. "I mean that's how it was before."

"If only things were like before." I could hear the sadness and a bit of disappointment in his voice. If it was like before I probably would've confessed and still had my heart broken. The questions haunting my mind was "how did he feel about me then? And does he ever think of me as something more?"

"Oh crap I forgot to grab my chips!! I'll be back keepnthe car cool!!" I randomly said that knowing I needed to let my mind drift away from the topic before sitting in the car with him on our way home.

I ended up actually going in to grab gatorade chews and some munchies my eyes shot towards the candy section ready to grab a whole bag of air heads. My feet were moving to fast and before I knew it I ran fell right over the boy grabbing THE last bag of air heads.

"Oh crap are you okay?" My head was pounding and when i landed i head a pop and crunching. I completely ruined my chips and banged up my head.

"My chips aren't," was all i said after comprehension what he asked. "I mean yeah i think so."

His adorable laugh filled my ears and i finally looked up at the suspect. My blue eyes met his baby brown eyes and I swear to you i've never been more attracted to an actual boy since I visited Texas for a match.

"That's good," I poured because it sounded like he wanted my chips to ruined. "I mean it's good that your okay, sorry about the chips."

Again with his laugh I couldn't help but laugh as well. His hand reached out for me and i happily took it as he slowly helped me up. He stepped behind me and attempted to clean the mess we both technically made.

"Here i'll uh pay for your stuff, in return maybe your number?"

"You want my number after making me fall?" He looked terrified for a second and I smiled. "I'm kidding, but I want some of those as well."

"Deal!!" He smiles showing how his pearly whites making him 10 times more hot and adorable.

We turned back towards the chips when my loud ass phone scared me and I pulled it out to see Derricks name.

"I'll be out soon hold up!!" I mumbled fast and hung up. "I guess i'll give you my number now?"

Derrick

Ten minutes. It was taking this girl ten minutes to grab a bag of chips. Knowing how fat she is in terms of food she was definitely grabbing more than just chips.

I called her and her voice sounded weird. Like really weird t wasn't normal Carter it was a Carter I never heard before.

Another five minutes passed and she cane out laughing with some kid i've never seen before. My hand grabbed the wheel tightly and Ineyed both of them as she walked him to what seemed to be his car.

They exchanged a very awkward hug and Carter turned back to the car face beat red like she had met her idol for the first time. When she opened the door and didn't even pay me any mind and watched his car drive off.

"His name is Isaac," She smiled and put her seatbelt on. "He goes to South Torrance and he's a senior."

"You learned that much in ten minutes?" I sighed and headed back home.

"Yeah basically. But he's our rival!! I don't care about that though." Her face was a light pink and her smile didn't seem to be going away. Then her phone went off and it only become bigger.

You said you wouldn't get jealous because she's talking to some boy Derrick. I'm not jealous. Then why are you gripping the wheel so tight?

I looked down at my hands and gripped it a little less hard. I could hear the typing and sending noises from Carters phone and it only made me annoyed because I knew she was texting him.

My mouth opened but nothing came out, I had no right to get mad over that. Even when we weren't friends I knew about the lil boyfriend she had sophomore and junior year. I made some of my boys beat him up after they broke up since rumors spread about what happened.

I also remembering how depressed and sad she looked during that time. Whenever I saw her at her house she was sulking and rarely went outback to practice. Carter got her heartbroken and didn't have anyone to protect her after it. It was my fault I wasn't there for her and if something happened between them even though i hope they don't date at all I will be there for her no matter what.

"I promise to that."

Carter snorted and I looked over at her pointing and laughing at me. "Someone was thinking real hard hmm? Promise tonwhat now?"

"I was not! And none of your business!!" I huffed and paid attention to the road. When we pulled in and walked in with the house seemed more full and my mind tried figuring out how all of them were going to sleep here.

It was only a weekend and yet her whole family was here ready for a whole month. Talk about a family reunion.

For the first time in years even when we weren't friends I could see the happiness in Carters eyes. She had everything she'd ever want and even though I'm here now I could never imagine her real feelings while i was gone.

She was alone when her and that dick broke up. When her dog died freshmen year. And then her dad. It was going to take a lot to forgive myself for leaving someone I want to never let go again.
