Inning of Love (Complete and being edited)

Scarlett.

When English is dismissed, I grab my things and start heading towards the exit when someone pushes me, knocking my stuff all over the floor. The blonde laughs and rolls her brown eyes before she scurries off with her two friends.

What the heck is that girl's issue?

I bend down to pick up my things when a warm, soft hand is placed on top of mine. I look up to see electric blue eyes staring back at me.

"You need help there?" Dean asked, kneeling on the floor beside me.

I shake my head, rushing to gather up all of my things, while Dean grabs some of my papers off the floor. "Well, I see we have two classes together," he says with a grin, inspecting my schedule.

I snatch the schedule from his hands and laugh weakly. "What classes might those be?" I ask quietly as I stand up, trying to organize the loose papers into a neat pile.

Dean gets off his knees, handing me the other papers he picked up. "P.E. which should be fun. I will catch you later okay?" He winks at me, showing off his signature side smile. Of all the classes that I get to share with him, why does it have to be physical education?

After second hour, Nina waits outside my class just as she said she would. "How were your first two classes?" Nina asks me.

"They were okay. My English professor seems cool, but there is this blonde girl who acted like a total snob, and I'm not sure what's her problem." I shrug, hoping I wouldn't see her for the rest of the day.

Nina laughs and says, "Duh, Scarlett. It's called jealousy, and you're also new. You're like the new shiny toy in kindergarten that makes all the kids curious," she sarcastically jokes.

Nina and I head to the cafeteria to grab our lunch and walk outside, trying to find an empty table and finally find one under a tree. Once we sit down and start talking, we are joined by three others. A blonde-haired boy with green eyes who I haven't met yet, and the blonde bitch from English, realizing she was holding hands with the one and only, Dean. How did this girl with a stick stuck up her ass land that? I mean, I only talked to him for a couple of minutes this morning, but he seems sweet. However, she is like a duplicate of the devil's spawn.

"Hey, Scarlett, right?" Dean asks. I look across from the table into his electric blue eyes as they sit down opposite us. His deep seductive voice makes me lose all my thoughts completely.

"Yeah, nice to see you again, Dean," I reply with a shy smile. I don't know what it is about this boy that makes me feel like a shy little schoolgirl, besides the fact that he's pretty much perfect. The only flaw is he is holding her hand.

"Guys, this is Scarlett. She just moved here." Nina gestures, introducing me to the group. "Scarlett, this is my friend Ryker Sanderson. You already know Dean, and this is his girlfriend, Phoebe."

Ryker looks at my chest and lastly focuses on my face. "What's up, girl? Welcome to Douglas."

I roll my eyes and try to ignore the fact that he was more focused on my breasts while introducing himself. Phoebe stares at me and rolls her eyes quickly, so Dean doesn't notice.

"I'm pretty sure I saw you in my English class," she says as she flicks her hair from her shoulder. She knows damn well she saw me in English class because she was judging my outfit, making snide comments. Just because I wear jeans and shirts that don't show off my body, instead of wearing miniskirts, doesn't mean she can judge people like that. I don't need drama though, nor do I want it. "I'm Phoebe. Phoebe Tillman," she says with a forced smile.

"Yeah uh, it's nice to meet you both," I say as politely as I can. I am a little surprised that Nina is friends with her. The bell rings, and Nina and I head for P.E. when Ryker runs up next to me and asks what class I have next. Before I could answer, Nina speaks for me. "She has P.E. with us, and then her math class is the same as yours, I think."
