The Game

I woke up and i got out of bed running to the mirror splashing water on my face to wake me up more. I take a quick shower and I get out drying my hair and body. I go to my closet and I put on a black  crop top and gray faded leggings. I let my loose curls out of my ponytail and it fell to my waist. I sprinted down the steps towards my parents I gave them kisses and sat down and ate my breakfast.

" How was your first day of school silver?" My Mother asks while my Dad continues to read his newspaper.

" It was fine mother, I got to see my friends again, but there was one boy that was repeatedly messing with me and he kind of confused me for the most part I'm hoping my chemistry teacher will remove the menace himself." I ended sounding happy. My Father for the first time in a while put his newspaper down to look at me and mom.

" What's the kid's name?" he asks sternly. I was shocked that he actually said something, but I quickly recovered.

" Cole..." I breathed out.

" Cole, just Cole wow!" He laughs shaking his head, I was kind of scared. Kind of weird I never questioned my father's quietness ever until now.

" Well he never said his last name no one mentioned it..." I whisper. He just laughs more but gets serious once again and continues reading his newspaper I look to see mom looking down. I got up and said bye then walked out.

27 minutes later

I got off the bus with Darcy and we headed to the group laughing about memes. I hugged jack noticing his football jersey on. All the girls know how badly I wish he would give me that jersey to wear. As we all start walking to our classes our group gets smaller when we part our ways to class. Jack walks me to class since mine is close to his. When I step into class being me I thought he would just leave me with a wave, but no he walked into the class grabbed the string book bag off his back and opens to what I assume is a shirt. Jack pulls it out smiling wide and unfolds it. I start smiling really huge like from cheek to cheek noticing it was another football jersey in my size just a little bigger.

" I know you probably want to support me so i bought an extra so you could wear it every game!" Jack says pulling it over my head.

" Oh my gosh thank you so much jack I love it! I can't wait for the big win tonight." I say and he winks seductively at me I blush hard and rush to my seat to only see Mr. dark gloomy looking away as if he had been watching me and jack the whole time. I sat in my seat, again at the edge. Ms. gibbon greets us and then hands out papers to each group. The paper had lot of questions when I looked at the title of the page I mentally smacked myself. " Interview with a partner" Ok I  mean not only was it cheesy that she tried to copy interview with a vampire, but it's also the fact I have to work with him,again.

I turn to see Cole gripping his pencil making his knuckles white. I almost chuckled at this because it was honestly really fun to watch someone get pissed.

" Since you're not speaking I'll just go ahead and ask the questions first..." I muttered as he gave me the coldest stare if looks could kill I would be dead on this floor right now.

" Well since I know your name I'll start with what I don't know. Erm, where are you originally from?" I asked not interested at all.

" My mothers vagina" Cole said in a monotone almost chuckling, I frowned at this but I'll keep pushing.

" And where was that located ?"

" In a hospital...duh!" He said in serious  tone. I honestly couldn't tell if he was joking or was just that stupid. He bursts out laughing, I can't believe he thinks this is funny. I just stare at him with my eyebrow raised.
