The Boy Across Enemy Lines

Stupid Advice Column. Stupid Boy!

“This is the Dean’s office. Our Deans are pretty cool if you don’t do anything too bad.” I said pointing at the deans office. Walking forward a bit. “These are the 100 rooms. Each hallway after that increases by a hundred. For example the next hall over is going to be the 200 hall and so forth.” I said before continuing the walk. I walked to the end of the hallway and turned left. “Here is the gym. You know what happens in a gym… I hope. Moving on.” I looked up at him and he was looking straight forward. He hadn’t really said much all morning. Nothing snarky, rude, or sexual. I don’t know if I should be proud or scared. So I decided on neither. I shook my head and kept walking. “This is the Auditorium. Here you are going to have your class assemblies, your school performances, and the works. You’re not going to pend much time here unless you enjoy watching plays and musicals. Moving on.” I maneuvered my way through some hallways. “This is the cafeteria, you’ve already been so we don’t need to stay here that long.” I said walking. I kept walking. “Over here is your library. You know what a library is. Moving on.” I said. I walked to the 500 wing. “This is the 500 wing. As you can see it’s much different than the other wings, considerably bigger. That because this is where all the labs are. All the science labs and computer labs. We have our science classes, our wood working classes, our engineering classes, and our technology classes back here. It’s quite a beautiful sight actually.” I said letting out a sigh of happiness. “Moving on.” I said walking through the hall. I walked to the end of the hallways and out the door I walked left a couple hundred feet the stadium. “This is the stadium. One of my favorite places at this school. To it’s right is the soccer and lacrosse field. To it’s left is the baseball field. All outdoor sports activities will be taking place in this area.” I said walking into the middle of the field.

“How’s the Lacrosse games?” He asked looking down at me. That was the first time he’s looked at me all freaking morning.

“Um… I wouldn’t know. I’ve never been to a Lacrosse game.” I said shrugging.

“You’ve been here, at a school known for it’s excellence in Lacrosse, for 3 years, starting your fourth year, and you’re telling me you’ve never been to a Lacrosse.” He said shocked. I took a step back and smirked a bit.

“Nope.” I replied shaking my head.

“And why is that?” He asked taking a step forward.

“I don’t know. Lacrosse isn’t really my things.” I said shrugging.

“Have you ever even given it a try?” He asked crossing his arms.

“No. Not really. It just doesn’t seem interesting.” I retorted.

“How can you know if you never watched a game?” He asked smirking.

“This is true. I can’t know. I’ve just never had a reason to watch a game.” I said letting him get closer to me.

“Now you do.” He said smiling.

“Do I?” I asked crossing my arms.

“Yes. The new starting attacker… Me.” He said proudly.

“So you’re the new all-star player.” I said with a slight laugh.

“Yes Ma’am I sure am.” He said winking.

“I’ll tell you what… you win your first game and I’ll come to a game.” I said smiling up at him.

“I think you have yourself a deal.” He said smiling. We shook hands. “Well, I have to go grab something out of my car. So, thank you for the tour.” He said patting my head.

“No problem.” I said shrugging.

“Alright. See you later Ci vediamo più tardi, Bella.” He winked before running off the field. So he goes from ignoring me to being friendly again. I rolled my eyes before heading into the main part of school. As I walked into the TV Production room the bell rang for everyone to start heading to class.
