Bad Boy, Good Lips.

Chapter Three: High School Mistakes Part Three

That next Wednesday..

I had a long, exhausting day today at school. I just wanted to sleep for the rest of the day, but I couldn't, I had to tutor Blake again today at 7:30. I really wasn't looking forward to it, I hate being around him because now a lot of people at school think I'm becoming one of "them" and I know who "them" are, basically the asshole jocks. And I was the last thing from that, and both me and you know that.

I decided to do my homework, after about an hour of homework I ate dinner with my family, surprisingly my brother ate with us. He hardly visits because he's in college, but he goes to OU so it's obviously not that far from home, his name is Carter.

After eating, I got my stuff and headed to the library.

When I got there Blake was there, he's been early to every meet up we have had because he's afraid I won't tutor him, and I won't if he's late. I don't have time for that.

We grabbed a table.

"So how was your day?" He asked.

"Good." I said bluntly.

"You still haven't warmed up to me, have you?"

"No, of course not." I said and smiled evilly.

"So, I've been wanting to ask you something?" He said.

"What..?"

"Go to state this Saturday, to watch me."

"Why?" I replied.

"Because I want you to! That's why."

"I can't sorry." I said.

"Oh.. It's cool." He said disappointed.

"So back to Algebra." I said sternly.

I was such a bitch, but I had to be.

Later..

After I finished tutoring Blake, I decided to head home.

"Bye Blake." I said.

"Bye, see you around, have a safe ride home!" He replied.

I just walked off and got in my car, I don't like the fact that Blake somewhat cares. Because that's not the type of person he is. When I got home I went straight upstairs to bed.

Saturday..

I had plans to go with my brother to dinner today, but of course he canceled. At least he canceled in advance so I still have time to plan other things. But until then, I'll just go downstairs to talk to my dad.

"Hey sweetie" he said.

"Hey daddy!"

"I like how you're 17 and you still call me 'daddy'"

"Hey! I'll be 18 next month!" I said.

"My point exactly darling, what are you doing today?"

"I had plans with Carter, but he canceled. So.. Nothing." I said in desperate hope of finding something to do.

"How about the state basketball game tonight?" He said.

Oh, I totally forgot about that. But I already told Blake I wasn't going.

"Eh.." I replied with.

"You should go, it would be fun. It's the last time you can! School ends in two months! Then off to college"

"Don't remind me." I said.

"So are you going?"

"I guess, sure. It can't hurt." I said.

"You better get ready! It's at 6:30, and it's 5:30 right now!"

He smiled, and I went upstairs to get ready, then headed to the game.

At the game..

When I got there it was already packed, and hard to find an open seat, but then some nice guy from one of my classes offered me a seat, so I sat.

I game was pretty good overall, I grew up watching basketball with my dad, it was my favorite, I was a huge fan of the Denver Nuggets, I still am actually.

The game had finally ended and everyone went crazy, we won by 2 points. I was jumping up and down, and Blake saw me. He came running over to me!

"CONGRATS BLAKE!" I said.

He picked me up and swung me around, and quickly put me down realizing what he did.

"So.. I thought you weren't coming?"

"I wasn't going to, but my plans got canceled." I said.

"Nice to no I'm your second choice." He smirked.

"You're not any of my choices." I said, and laughed.

"You're such a bitch." He replied.

"I know, I try."

We both laughed!

"Thank you for coming Athena! Seriously." Blake said.

"Anything for a friend Blake." I said.

"Oh a friend?" He smiled.

"You were the one that called us 'friends'" I said.

"But you just actually admitted we're friends! Wow Athena Brooks finally showed me some affection other than a smile."

"Oh shut up. I better go! But you played great!"

"Wait before you leave, tutor session Tuesday?" He smiled.

"Yes Blake."

I smiled and walked away.

Blake had finally gotten a real smile out of me.
