It's Not Enough.

Chapter 14

Skylar and Adam continued to lock lips while the rest of the boys and I remained open mouth watching them. Glances were shared between the other boys and eye. They each had different eye color but the look was all the same. None of us knew what was going on.

Neither of the two love birds broke apart for air. Skylar's arms were clinging desperatly to Adam while her lips continued to unattractily smother his face. Adam's hands lingered, almost barely, on the exposed skin on her hips. The leggy blonde shifted forward practically stradling Adam her air whipping around and smacking me right in the face.

Hell no.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you there," Skylar panted towards me. A mischivous smile lifting the sides of her face. Her blue eyes glanced from me with another quirk of her lips back to Adam who sat there with his dark gold eyes wavering from Skylar to me. I heard the sudden in take of breath from one of the boys as they watched while Skylar dared to ignore me.

I'm normally not the type of girl who resorts to petty name calling and verbal arguments. I'm more of a punch and kick kind of girl. So I decided to act on my instincts. The moment Skylar leaned forward to reattach her lips to Adam I shifted in my seat just enough to give me space so I could lift up my foot and kick her side, not roughly but enough to send her sprawling on the floor at Adam's feet.

"What the Fuck!" She screamed wildly. Tendrils of blonde hair fell lazily in front of her blue eyes making her look crazy as she glared up at me. Almost everyone's attention was drawn to the tiny tanned girl sprawled out on the floor. Except the boys. They all just watched me cautiously trying to make sure that this little situation wasn't going to make me angry enough to push me over the edge. I've had too many close calls in the last few weeks and they were worrying to much. Which is exactly why I rolled my eyes at their woried glances, well except for Adam's which was filled with paralyzed look of surprise.

"Next time. Watch where you're flipping your hair." I comment before turning my back on the girl and returning back to my food. After slurping a fork full of Spagetti the silence at our table seemed overwhelming so I just smiled up at my friends with my signature look.

I noticed how Taylor and Gavin physically relaxed, shoulders unstiffening. Travis just closed his camera after glancing from the screen to me then back at the screen. I wasn't sure if he had caught all of that on camera but knowing him he probably did. Nick and Ryan were just staring at the few remanents of food they had left on their plate.

"So whose excited for the basketball game coming up?" I asked hoping to break the silence. When each of them gave me a whole-hearted smile I knew everything that had just happened was forgotten. Well maybe not for Adam but I currently didn't care. If he wanted to sleep around that was fine but don't do it with disrespectful bottle blondes like Skylar. She is a waste of time.

I'm not sure where Skylar went either but I didn't glance back. I just got lost in the conversation.

Sweat coated every inch of my skin by the time practice was done. I had made the team run some basic drills after running four laps around the gym. It wasn't anything hardcore but it wasn't simple either. The goal was to get each of the boys out of their comfort zone.

Coach meatball normally had the starters running drills with just the starters while the bench ran drills with the other members of the bench. I switched that up. We would al be a well oiled machine by the next game.

While I expected the coach to put out a complaint against me, he didn't. Smart man, he was learning. He knew just as well as everyone else did that I could whip this team into shape not to mention he was still getting paid for doing nothing. I probably should have been mad about it but I was more focused on the team than I was on the money.

"Brett throw off to Rodger. Then it's a fake and pass left to Henry. Gavin I need you be constantly shifting under the net. Jake stay high and open. Preston keep working on the left sided three pointers. Adam take the ball down with Taylor," I was shouting out instructions. After a few more drills we all ran suicides, yes even me. I wasn't going to let my team suffer without me even if it was by my own hands.

Once the suicides were over I instructed two more laps than a stretch down. Rodger couldn't do any running but he played as our guard who passed the ball in and he worked on his shooting. I admire him for continuing to practice even with his injures, but it really isn't a surprise since it wasnt an accident that he was a starter on the team it's because he is hard working and dedicated to the sport. He just needs a little more work on teamwork.

During our stretch down I started to notice that we were beginning to get a crowd of people who are interested in our growth as a team. And of course one of those many people was none other than Skylar. Maybe her and Adam were a thing now. But for some reason that made me really angry. I'm not sure if it was just this girl in particular or what but I don't like the idea of Adam dating this girl.

Her cheers rang out every time Adam made a pass or took a shot or stole the ball. Pretty much everytime Adam breathed she called out his name. The whole team was starting to get annoyed.

"Maybe we could just knock her out with a basketball to the head?" Jake suggested in a hushed whisper so only I could hear. This wasn't the first comment made about "accidently" riding ourselves of her.

"Yeah I wish she'd probably keep cheering in her sleep," I joked rolling my eyes as her cheers echoed out once again.

"I'm going to shove a dirty sock in her mouth,"

"That seems a little Kinky Gavin," Brett jabbed elbowing Gavin playfully in the ribs. Gavin just scowled at him.

"That girl wouldn't be attractive to a walrus!" Gavin barked.

"Well then explain Adam," Jake joined back in motioning to Adam's familiar figure who was sitting with his legs out stretched so his feet were flat against Preston's. They each had their arms reached out in front of them grasping at the others fingers as they pulled each other forward and back. It was a good stretch.

Gavin just shrugged unable to answer. I sighed. All through out practice Adam would glance at her, his expression unchanging. Their was no emotion in it. This made it extremely hard for any of us to figure out exactly what he was feeling right now.

"Ok Boys practice is over. You guys did great as always now hit the showers before you start to really stink this place up," I hollered earning me a few chuckles as the boys made their way towards the locker room.

"Good job today Rodger," I comment at him. He was slowly making his way towards the locker room on his krutches. A gentle smile formed on his lips as he galnced at me and when I returned it with a smile of my own he turned back towards the locker room and continued his journey there.

I headed off into the direction of the girls locker room. Normally people would enjoy the heated water that pours through the schools water system but after that practice I needed a cold shower. Ice cold water chilled my body but relaxed the tense muscles forming in my shoulders and lower back. All of my shower products were either coconut or strawberry and currently I was washing my body down with my favorite coconut breeze body wash. Once I was done I towel dried my hair then pulled it back into a messed up bun. I slipped on some sweats and a plain blue tank top over my matching black underwear.

Sadly I couldn't just leave right after I was done getting dressed. Earlier I had accidently switched my chem book for my math and I didn't have any math homework tonight but I definatly had chem. The worst part was my locker was on the opposite side of the school. I dragged my backpack and basketball bag all the way to my locker. When I turned up at my locker I stopped abrubtly only a few feet away when I noticed the figure leaning casually against my locker.

"What are you doing here?"
