In The Summer

Chapter Nine - Alexader

When stormed off I could tell he was jealous. It drove me insane because he thinks he can have her.

Mr. Jackson turns and looks at me and says, "So son, you want to try out for football?"

"Yes sir. At my old school I was quarterback. My coach used to say I was the best on the team. I'm hoping to continue playing football here. I want to go to a good college and play football."

Wendy turns and smiles at me. We've only known each other for a few days but it feels like a lifetime.

I smile back as she says, "So Mr. Jackson, what do I need for tryouts? The usual stuff?"

"Yes."

We are walking down the street and I keep thinking about how beautiful Wendy looks in that white dress that highlights her curves. The dress falls down only about halfway to her knees, it's short for a girl like her, not for the girls most guys want to go out with.

I turn and stare at her, as we walk. She looks over at me and her cheeks turn red.

"Why are you staring at me?" She says, shyly.

"You're beautiful, you know that?" I say, grinning at her reaction. Her cheeks burn.

"Uhh... I-I... thank you?" She says, flustered.

I grin and wrap my arm around her shoulders. I'm making a statement. This girl is going to claim me.

There are the girls who are in it for the fame and the girls who are in it for one night stands. The girls that are focused on getting good grades and don't care what we football players think, those girls are the ones we marry and stay married to.

As we near her house, I turn to her and ask, "Wendy, will you be my girlfriend?"

For a minute she doesn't answer. Then, she turns and walks away with a smirk on her face. No... I know how this goes. She's teasing me and I don't take teasing lightly. She will give me an answer.
