Falling For You

I'm going to be gone next Monday so I won't be able to update, I'll try to make sure to have a chapter ready.

We ended up making spaghetti from scratch. 

Damn noodles are so hard to make, the consistency is way too precise for my liking.  

Luckily the teacher didn't care who we paired up with in that class so Ally and I worked together. Currently we're in the soccer stands waiting for Drew to finish his soccer practice. 

It's a usual routine where after school the three of us would hang out a bit at someone's house. 

"Girl my arms are sore now," Ally groans flopping onto my shoulder lazily. "Who knew pasta was so physically exhausting to make?" 

"That's why they invented already flattened pasta." I pat her head used to her making me a pillow. 

"So then if we can buy it, why in the world are we making it?" 

"You weren't listening to the teacher's speech about how our generation has gotten way too lazy and that we're never going to be able to survive, were you?" 

She shrugs her shoulders carelessly, translating to, no she wasn't. 

Hearing the final whistle meant practice was finished. Spotting Drew talking to the coach I start packing up the bit of homework I was working on. 

Making our way onto the field we wait by the entrance near the parking lot. 

"Aw Harley you waiting for me?" Oh yeah I forgot football practice is right after soccer. 

"Now why would I do that?" 

"Because you're going to confess your profound secret love for me?"

"Yeah keep dreaming, Spears." 

"Ooh last name bases now, should I be scared Davidson?" 

"We can go now." Drew says walking up. Not sparing Cody another glance he keeps walking towards the car. 

I wave to Cody before hurriedly catching up to Drew with Ally on my heels. 

Throwing our bags in the back with Ally we all buckle up. Ally likes sitting in the back cause she claims there's more space. 

I notice Drew is gripping the steering wheel rather hard," Drew are you mad?" 

"No." 

"You sure?" I raise an eyebrow sceptically. 

"I'm fine," he sighs running his hand through his brown hair. "Coach is just saying I'm slacking and that if I want to stay captain I need to work harder." 

"Work harder?" Ally pokes her head between the front seats with a bewildered look. "How can you be slacking when it's only been the first day of school?"

"He wants us to win this year, last year we lost in the finals. He's trying to prep us."  

Looking at Ally I can tell we both still disagree but we don't say anything. Drew doesn't mind how tough the coach is, he says he's improved under his coaching. 

"So Drew, I heard you're paired with the new girl?" You can feel the slight tension going away. 

"Yep, Clarissa." 

"Ooh Drew you remembered her name, she must be important," I tease. 

"It happened once Harls, once." He might or might not have forgotten the name of a girl he took on a date, resulting in getting slapped.
