Chapter one
pov: Jason
"Hey J, man you coming or what?"
That’s Kyle; he's well built and toned. He has light blond hair, and absolutely no sense of personal space. At this moment in time he is stood in front of me face inches from mine, waving his hands around like a mad man, trying to swot a fly, and yes I’m being serious.
"Yeah, yeah coming."
My name is Jason and well this is my life.
"Say J what’s the matter with you? You've been out of it all week man."
"
Oh its nothing."
"It better be coz' we need you for the football final tomorrow."
Yes we have and english essay in for tomorrow that goes towards our grades, but no Kyle is more worried about my state of mind and health for tomorrows football final. Kyle is a good guy I'd like to see him with a girl that understood him and not just because he looks hot.
I followed Kyle to the park on west road, we were almost there when Ben showed up. Ben is my other great friend, he has dark hair like me, and we're about the same height too, he has just as much muscle as Kyle, and has the brains to know how to use it unlike Kyle. Although he has more brains than Kyle he doesn't show it.
"Yo! J, Kyle how's it goin'?"
"hey Ben, my man."
"Hey kyle, what’s up with J?"
I could sense more than see them both turn to look in my direction, for the 5th time today my mind had wondered to the girl in my dreams. She has been a regular guest in my dreams for a few nights now. And again I found myself hopping to see her, even though is just a girl of my imagination. I feel like she is really like I need to go and fine her or I'll die. I don't understand my fascination with her.
"Beats me man, he’s been out of it all day man. You know the same as the rest of this week."
Yet again Kyle's loud voice shattered my daydream.
"Yo! J aren't you gonna say hi?"
"Oh yeah, hi Ben"
"I told ya man, he’s goin' mental. Come on man he'll follow." As Kyle predicted I followed them to the park, sat down on the grass and watched them through a football back and forth. Occasionally Ben would ask if I wanted to join their game, each time Kyle would say that I wouldn't play even if you pay me. And each time I would decline their offer, I just wasn't in the mood. Lately I've been seeing shapes, dark figures in the corners of rooms and down alley ways. Maybe I'm going mad I don't know. Secretly I just wanted to go home to bed and dream about her rapped in my arms.
"Hey! Hey guys!" Ben and Kyle turned to face me; I think Ben was hoping I would play, because I swear he looked like a little pup. Kyle just stood there shocked written all over his face.
"Yeah?" They both said in union.
"I don't feel so good. I'm gonna go home and sleep it off." Yes that was a lie, do I regret it? No. Not if it means I'll get to see her.
"See I told ya man, he's totally out of it," Kyle says to Ben completely forgetting that I could hear him. “That’s ok man we understand, but you better be god damn better for tomorrow."
"Yeah coz we can't whip union's butt without you mate."
Kyle..."YOU’RE NEVER GONNA HEAR THE END OF IT IF YOUR NOT BETTER FOR TOMORROW, AFTER THE HELL YOU PUT US THROUGH IN TRAINING. SEE YOU TOMORROW, NO PRESSURE!" He didn't need to shout but he did; nearly waking the twins a couple of blocks down.
Ben... "We’re goin' home anyway see you later J."
"Awww man you only just got here."
And that was it. I turned to go still listening to them as I went.
"I know butt my mom was expecting me home like five minutes ago, and you know what she's like I'll be filed under missing if I'm 15minutes late, and it'll take me 10 as it is.
