ALEX POV

I roll my eyes for the umpteenth time today. What could be better than seeing a doodlebug.

What on Earth is a doodlebug?

Ray mentioned lot of things last night that will probably be stuck in my head forever.

So yeah that jackanape is Tasha Brown.

That one girl that makes me sick. Not because have had any encounter with her. Infact I barely know the girl. But hey this is the same dolt that just had to intimidate Aisling, trash her project and got away with it.

And the same doodlebug -- STOP SAYING DOODLEBUG-- is here calling me boo as in the only boo I know is the boo people chant to indicate disapproval. Of course the boo-boo which means feces. It has to be that.

"Hey Alex" She tries again and I definitely just shoot a glare which am sure she wouldn't even be standing here if she saw that. The hoodie just had to cover half of my face.

"I was hoping we could walk to class together."

"No problem"

"Yh" She adjust her backpack on her shoulder. "So..." I beg you don't start a conversation.

As if on cue, I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. Ray message display on it

Who think I would be this relieved to receive Ray message even though the name displayed on it creeps me.

SUGAR-PLUM:

I think am gonna
marry this lunch lady.

Like damn all this free
food saves my money.

When is the wedding?

And btw you said something
about DOODLEBUG last night.
Is that a word? Because is
stuck in my head forever.


"I heard the b-ball game is around the corner"

"Do you have anyone in mind?"

"Anyone?" I ask a bit confused.

"Yh. You know that's gonna rock your jersey. I mean as the star player you wouldn't just want any--"

Exactly what this unplanned meeting is all about.

I interrupt her before she finishes "Actually I do. And she's just the perfect girl. I mean what could be more encouraging than seeing your girl on your jersey loud and proud cheering you on"

"Oh!" Her face drops "So you mean you have someone in mind?"

"Exactly!" I beam pulling my hoodie down "Aisling is the only girl worthy of such opportunity. Every other girl is probably just wasting her time."

"Wait" Realization just hit her "You mean Aisling is gonna wear your jersey?!" She ask in pure disbelief, spitting out 'Aisling' like it's gonna kill her to say the word. Such a doofus!

"You have a problem with her?" I raise my brow taunting her to speak.

"What? No" She laugh awkwardly "Am just-- am--" she stutter pointing behind her. "I will see you later"
