Can We Love

Chapter Nine:Day Two

Today was the day before the second day  of BOTH and of course Blue team was in the lead. The next game on the agenda was soccer and of course if you were on the soccer team you couldn't play. The 'new' team were  just players of the other sports including Joe. Now that Joe was out of my life it was time to move on. And I had my eye on the perfect gentleman. Reggie Carter. There was The BOTH Ball after the week was over and that was where all of the schools that had competed gathered in one big room and had a blast. Even though there was going to be some tension. We still did it because we didn't go through all that trouble to have one team celebrate. Most people had their dates, but someone had yet to ask me.

Reggie and I walk down the halls hand and hand with not to many stares and luckily we didn't have any unwanted attention. Reggie walks me to my locker and I melt gazing into his hazel eyes. Reggie was this tall light skinned black boy who always wore nice clothes and  had to have a fresh cut with cool kicks. So handsome. This year was his first year at SB and no one really knew his past. Not even me.

When I opened my locker I found a small cute note and a single white rose. Reggie was off to class all ready there was just me and a couple of other girls. The note read 'Both Ball? ' signed Regg with a drawing of me and him dancing. I tore a piece of paper from my notebook a put yes on it. I ran it to his locker and went straight to class.

At lunch we had our first kiss and you should have saw the look on Joe's face. Priceless. While everyone was still at lunch Reggie and I excused ourselves for the cafeteria to go have a make out session at me and Joe's old spot. When got up Joe knew exactly where we were going. We were in the vacant hallway and just as we turn the corner there was Joe and Juliana. Making out right in our old spot. I was pissed. Reggie didn't know about me and Joe and neither did Juliana. I have a great poker face and I wanted to hurt Joe just as bad as he hurt me. While walking away with a louder tone so he could here me I asked Reggie if he wanted to skip school and go to my place just to just to piss Joe off. I look back a little a watch Joe freeze mid-kiss with Juliana. And let me tell you Pompeii had nothing on him. But of course he didn't take his anger out right now he took it out on field, the both field. I wasn't really going to have sex with him I barely even knew him, so when we got back to my place I just went in the bathroom for a bit, came out and just said that I just stared my period. He said he understood and then we just made out.

Today was the soccer game and we were up first against the Yellow Lincoln high. just before the game Victor Perez was giving the 'new' team a pep talk, and because he didn't really care about soccer unless it was him playing, FIFA, or with naked girls, the talk wasn't that inspirational. This time Reggie and Joe were on the same team. I was a bit worried about that, but I knew that Joe was really competitive and wouldn't risk a game over me. Or so I thought. All throughout the game Joe kept bumping him on purpose. Joe Stealer risking a game for me, that's the first. We almost lost this game but again we won.

I was opening my locker to get my stuff and go home when a small note dropped out and didn't have a name but I knew exactly who it was from. Joe. I opened the note, rolling my eyes and the note read: Meet me at our old spot tomorrow at 3:00. The boiler room if you don't remember. I NEED to see you. We need to talk.

I rolled my eyes so hard that they could have fallen out of my sockets. This whole note made me sick to my stomach.

1. Because I told my self I wouldn't go.

2. Because I knew that I would.

3. Because I'm still in love with him.
