Fatal Redemption | J.J.K.

PAIGE;
It's finally Friday, a whole week has already passed and I couldn't wait to hang out with Jungkook on Saturday.

I was wearing army green skinny jeans, a black long sleeve shirt and my black vans. I left my hair down and put my backpack on.

I held my string bag and grabbed my phone. I was in more of a better mood since I was named the top runner for the team at yesterday's practice.

I was also told by Coach Elmore that I was the team captain so I had more responsibilities to uphold this year.

I walked down the stairs and met up with my family. "Good morning" I smiled.

"Morning" was what I heard from all of them, even my older brother by two minutes.

"Why are you such in a chipper mood?" Lucas asked as he stuffed his mouth with eggs.

"Well," I began as I smeared strawberry cream cheese on a warm bagel. "Last night coach told me that I was the team captain"

Mom looked at me with wide eyes and cheered. "Yes, finally" she hugged me.

"I know, so I have a lot of responsibilities this year" I said as I bit into my bagel.

"Well congrats" she smiled as she continued to cook.

"What about you Lucas, did you still make the team?" I asked as I sat down next to Cole

"Yes, of course I did, they need me" he said as I rolled my eyes.

I saw the time on the wall and noticed I had to leave. "Oh I have to go, I'll see you guys later tonight"

I gave them a kiss on the cheek before leaving. I got into my car and set my bags in the back.

"Time to pick up Xavier" I said to myself as I started the ignition.

We both made it to school earlier this time to talk more to Jungkook. On the ride here Xavier told me about how he's starting to get used to running.

I smiled as he talked, I knew he would ease into it.

We entered the classroom and met up with Jungkook. We both noticed that he had his head on his desk.

"Jungkook" I called as he looked up at us.

"Hey guys" he gave us a weak smile. My heart felt pings, I shook it off.

"Hey, did you make the team?" I asked, he gave us a small smile as we automatically took it that he didn't.

I frowned, it was probably my fault that I got his hopes up too high.

"We're sorry man" Xavier said speaking up for the both of us. 

"Don't be" he said as we gave him a confused look,

"It's because I did make the team" Jungkook smiled as I gasped and hit his shoulder.

"You punk, you made me feel bad for you" I said as he chuckled his cute laugh.

"I'm sorry" he apologized as I rolled my eyes.

"What position did Coach Yoast give you?" Xavier asked.

"Waterboy" I joked as an answer as we all laughed.

"No" Jungkook laughed, "I'm the new quarterback" he smiled as I gasped again.

"Jungkook" I smiled as I ruffled his hair, he smiled and fixed it back.

"That's better than being wide receiver or any other position you wanted" I said as he blushed.

"I got it because of you Paige" he said as I felt my heart melt.

"It was nothing" I joked as I flipped my hair to the side. The boys laughed as I joined them.

"What about you guys?" Jungkook asked, I used my hand to indicate Xavier to go first.

"Well I made the team, Coach is making me run varsity" he answered as I nodded.

"What about you Paige?" He asked with his Bambi eyes peering into my boring brown ones.

"I mean I made the team, I'm running varsity again but this year I'm sort of like the team captain" I smiled as the boys started to clap for me.

My smiled grew wider as I took it in but I started to shush them because everyone was looking at us.

"Well we look forward to watching one of your games soon" Xavier spoke up for us as I nodded, agreeing.

"I also look forward to seeing you both run as well" he smiled as I hid my blushing face.

"Talk to you later man" Xavier said as he gave Jungkook one of those guy handshakes and walked off to his desk.

I could never do those, I always made it awkward. Like they'd do that and I'd high five their fist.

"So, are we still on for our coffee drinking talk thingy" he asked as I smiled at his awkwardness.

"Yes" I answered as he smiled. I gave him a small wave as I passed him to get to my desk.

"How's code Kookie doing?" Xavier whispered from behind me.

"I thought the name I gave him was Kookie, your name is Jungshook" I whispered back.

"Whatever" he whispered back as I physically felt him roll his eyes, "How is it going?"

"Well, we're getting coffee tomorrow" I said as I got my stuff out for today's lesson.

"Don't you have that movie date with Gavin tomorrow?" Xavier joked as I rolled my eyes

"I'm not watching a freaking movie alone with him, there's no way in hell" I said as he chuckled at my sudden outburst.

"Of course your not, but what are you going to tell him?" He asked as Gavin walked into the classroom.

He looked at Jungkook and gave him a dirty look that Kookie returned with a smile. I smiled at the sight, he may hate him but won't let it get the best of him.

"Speaking of the devil" Xavier muttered behind me.

Gavin looked towards us and smiled once his eyes landed on me, what a fake son of a bitch.

"Good morning Paige? How was your morning?" He asked with a smile, I could sense Dalias anger from behind him.

"Oh it was wonderful Gavin, what about yours?" I asked with sarcasm clearly in my voice.

"It's good now," he smiled as I gagged in my mouth, "Hey, are we still on for our movie date?"

I smirked, "Uh I actually can't make it. A friend and I are going somewhere"

"Which friend?" He asked with gritted teeth, I took it he already knew which friend.

"Xavier" I lied as he looked up from his desk wearing a smile.

"Yeah were going shopping" he smiled, clearly having my back.

"Oh then I can come" Gavin said as Xavier laughed and shook his head.

"Oh you wouldn't want to come. We're shopping for gnomes, for my fathers garden. It usually takes a long time for him to pick one so it will be boring" Xavier said as I shrugged, saying 'oh well'

"Yeah, Paige here loves to do boring stuff" he said as I gave him a fake smile and nodded.

"Oh well, maybe next time" Gavin gave up as I cheered in my head.

"Yeah, maybe" I muttered as he sat down next to me.
