School on Friday flew by quickly. It felt like everyone were radiating excitement for the football game, even the teachers. Tons of posters plastered all over the place for the Badgers. Ugh. That has to be one of the lamest names for a sports team ever.
I seen a picture of a badger once, I got the impression that they're mean little things. Like wolverines or something. I don't know.
I barely got to see Scott through out the day. He was always with his friends surrounded by admirers wishing him luck and talking about the opposing team, (the Wolves, much cooler than the Badgers by the way).
By the time I got a chance to see him it was almost time for him to be in the lockeroom before the game. We were in the parking lot, I had to leave before the game to change. I usually wear a jersey with Scott's number on it for his games. I'm such a good girlfriend.
Yeah...Right. He put his hands on my waist and pulled me close. I wrapped my arms around his neck. "You're coming tonight, right?" He asked. I rolled my eyes. "Of course Scott, I always do." I assured him.
He smiled. "I had to be sure, there was that one time..." "Oh come on I had the flu!" We laughed together. He leaned down and kissed my lips softly. There were times, like now, That I wouldn't mind just kissing Scott forever.
Too soon he pulled back. "I have to go, don't need coach mad at me for being late." He said. "Okay" I sighed, feeling irrationally sad to have to stop kissing him. He grinned making his adorable dimples stand out.
"Don't worry babe we have all weekend to make out." He said. I liked the sound of that. Scott went with his team so I went home and changed into the jersey, then went to the field. Alyssa met me there.
Aaron wasn't with her so I hoped maybe he had cancled last minute, but the way she was dressed told me he hadn't. She was wearing a nice red, sort of frilly shirt and a skirt with leggings on underneath.
I shivered thinking of Aaron touching her legs the same way he had touched mine at the party... I shook my head to clear it. Now was not the time for that. It was hard for me not to be jealous of Alyssa. She's beautiful.
Tall, long legs, perfectly straight red hair. She rarely wore make up, her face is naturally pretty so she dosen't need any. I'd say one of her only flaws is her self confidence, which she has zero of. She could have any boy in school, but she dosen't seem to realize this.
I constantly tell her how pretty she is. Does she listen? Nope. She noticed me checking out her outfit and sighed. "It took me forever to find something to wear, it's nothing special." She said. I stared at her.
"Is it okay?" She asked, nervous. I wondered breifly if she would be offended if I slapped her. "Alyssa you look amazing, chill out." I said. She relaxed and smiled. "So...Where is Aaron anyways?" I asked.
"Right here." His voice answered from behind us. We both turned. Aaron was wearing all black (shirt, jeans,shoes). It made his super blonde hair stand out in the most sexy of ways. I tried not to stare but...Wow. Black was definately his color.
Alyssa stood next to him smiling shyly. They looked good next to eachother. If I wasn't so worried about Aaron blowing my secret, I might not have a problem with them dating. Maybe. Nobody spoke until Aaron cleared his throat.
"Oh right, Aaron this is my best friend Chloe." Alyssa said gesturing to me. I hoped he could read the warning in my eyes. He did that little half smile thing and extented his hand.
"It's nice to meet you Chloe." He said. I let out a sigh of relief and shook his hand. Alyssa smiled and turned to the field. She didn't see that Aaron held onto my hand a little longer than a normal greeting handshake.
He let go the second she turned back to us. "We should get to the bleachers before all the good spots are taken." She said. We got to the bleachers and sat towards the middle. Alyssa sat in between Aaron and me.
The players filed unto the field. Scott waved. I returned the wave with a smile. Finally the game started. Alyssa chatted with Aaron thorugh most of the game. I tried to block Aaron out, but his voice is just so...I don't know.
It draws you in and makes you want to listen harder. They didn't really talk about anything too important, mostly about Alyssa, Aaron didn't give much information about himself.
It was almost the end of the game when Aaron put his arm around Alyssa's shoulder. It wasn't that cold, so he wasn't trying to keep her warm. I was irritated. I couldn't pay attention because of that damn arm.
Why was it around her? Why did I even care? I glanced sideways. Alyssa was watching the game with a sort of satisfied smile, Aaron wasn't. He was looking over her head at me. I quickly looked away, grinding my teeth as I did.
I made sure not to look in their direction for the rest of the game. The Badgers ended up winning. I congragulated Scott with s kiss before he left to celebrate at a party with his teamates. He asked me to come too but I made up an exscuse about not feeling to good.
Truthfully I figured I should stay away from parties for awhile. Aaron walked with Alyssa and I to the parking lot. We were almost to the cars when Alyssa stopped. "Crap! I needed to talk to Megan really quick, I'll be right back." She said and ran back to the bleachers leaving me alone with Aaron.
I could tell he was staring at me so I crossed my arms over my chest and pointedly looked in the other direction. He laughed quietly. "So are you just going to ignore me now?" He asked. I stayed silent.
"Come on Chloe did I do something wrong, was it because I had my arm around Alyssa?" He guessed. His tone was confused, and slightly baffled. I glared at the ground keeping my mouth closed.
"Are you jealous or something?" I knew he was joking but it pissed me off. "No I am not jealous, I have no reason to be! You're not my boyfriend, not even my ex, All you are is a mistake I made, nothing else!" I ranted.
I was surprised to see that he actually looked hurt. I had to look away. "I...I'm really sorry Chloe, if you want me to leave you alone I will, I wasn't trying to make you mad, promise." He said. He sounded sincere. I felt bad instantly. I sighed and met his eyes.
"I'm sorry Aaron, I shouldn't have said any of that, I'm just really stressed out lately." I apologized. He shrugged, half smile on his face. "It's okay, I understand, still friends?" He asked and held out his hand. I smiled. "Almost friends." I replied taking his hand.
