stop

"Stop acting like this."

I rolled my eyes and reached for my phone again but she pulled her back again. "Give it Ag."

She stepped forward and pushed her hand against my stomach. "No stop acting like this"

I rolled my eyes again and lent back and stared at her unamused. She spread my legs and stepped between them and moved to look over me.

"I'm not acting like anything Ag. Just give me my phone."

"No I'm not. Why are you being distant."

I looked over my shoulder and looked at the few people who were looking at us and awed or pointed to their friends.

"Can we not do this now."

"No we are doing it now." She responded and I sighed.

Blinking my eyes at her. "Do you want people knowing about us because I don't think you do. Or do just want to be friends like I get it Ag I rea-"

She grabbed my face and pressed her her lips against mine. My hand automatically went to her waist and pulled her closer. She pulled back and rested her forehead on mine, lightly out of breath.

"Does that answer your question"

"You really had to kiss me for me to get your point?"

She laughed and I looked around at everyone looking at us, the Gage kid looking surprised.

Ag looked at him with killer eyes as he smirked when I looked back at him. "Not the only reason."

She looked upset seeing him so I grabbed her face. "Stop don't look at him."

"He pisses me off. He likes you."

She tried looking at him again but I made sure to make her look back at me. "He doesn't have me."

"I will kill him if he lays a hand on you"

The bell rings after a few minutes and we grabbed our stuff and made our way to the next class, gym.

Everyone just sat up on the bleachers and we didn't change out because we were doing the surveys. Gym was going to be the easiest because you just gotta say you exercise and you're fine.

I take a seat on the second layer and let Ag go up with her friends and I just did the survey by myself.

Of course I finished first, and the guy just told me I could do whatever. I point over to the basketball in the corner and he just shrugged and said to have fun.

I smiled, went and picked it up before taking a shot in the corner and making it with a swish.

People working looked over at me and I just kept my head down before getting the ball and going to the arch and shooting again.

It hit the backboard and landing right in. Grabbing and shooting a floater. Our gym teacher was the boys basketball coach and he started looking at me.

I looked back over at the people doing the survey and watched as Ag's friend group was looking at me. Ag of course, impressed.

Jokingly I pulled back to the arch and sinked a 3 point shot before putting up a 3 with both hands and blowing it off and pretending to put it in my pocket.

She found it hilarious and so did her friends. Them starting to crack up and the coach taking his eyes off of me and looking at them. Him finding it amusing as well.

I'm not a normal showboater but sometimes you gotta do it. The coach stood up and came over to me. I thought he was going to take my ball so I just threw up a last shot for him and pointed a bow and arrow at him and when I heard it go in, I let go of the pretend arrow and laughed.
