The Painter and Toker

Chapter 8 -The water tower

It was midway through the day, and Addie was sitting out on the football bleachers eating her lunch. It was warm and much more peaceful than the lunch room, all except the football team who were busy practicing. Addie faced the sun and was letting the warmth wash over her , until she distinctly heard Jackie's voice and her heeled boots coming up the bleachers.

"what are you doing here all alone, jezz your such a loner" Jackie sat down next her taking a bit of her apple with a big Crunch.

" I was enjoying the silence." Addie said honestly

" or were you watch the football team!" Jackie responded in a sing-song voice. "Thomas Bradley is was Fox, once before me and Michael, he totally kissed me in front the lockers, then there is Aaron Collins, no girl has ever turned him down. And now there's you Step-Brother Ryan who's a solid 10"

Jackie continued to rate the football team from 10 on the foxy scale to 3's like Paul Rayman the water boy. Addie had stopped listening and was watching the clouds and thinking about heading straight to the basement after school. Then there was a sharp pain in her shin, " Shit Jackie" Addie rubbed her leg.
"I said I like your dress, and all you did was stare up at the clouds, have you even been listening., because like I said I'm not really into long dresses,but they look cute on you, now only if you stop braiding your hair back, and we could find you something other than that jean jacket, maybe we would get you a solid 8 boy", Jackie reached and started unbraiding Addie's hair. Addie sighed there really was not point in stopping her, Jackie would only kick her again.

Then Addie saw Donna wave and come up the bleachers, "what are you guys doing" Donna sat down with a basket fries. Addie quickly snagged a fry "apparently getting me a solid 8 fox".

"I don't really seen you with anybody into sports, unless that sport is beating somebody up or running away from the fuz."

Addie smiled " Once my old boyfriend Jensen took my biology's teacher car engine apart on the roof of the science building. But he left this tools in the back of his pickup, the campus police pinned it on him pretty quick, Idiot" she reached for another fry, but Donna slapped her hand away. " How's he get it up there?"
"ohh. Him and Billy Walker carried it up the four flights of stair , their hands were completely stained with oil" Addie shook her head, Jackie had finished unbraiding her hair, she ran her hands threw her hair.

"you actually knew somebody named Billy walker" Donna had tried and failed to copy Addie's southern accent.

" UH-HU.. that boy was so dumb he couldn't pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the heel." Addie shook her head in shame and Donna died of laughter

, "I love that.. I absolutely love it, you sound like scarlet O'Hara" Jackie clapped her hands.

" you totally just described Kelso" snickered Donna.

. The warning bell and all the girls sighed standing and began descending the bleachers. They got to the end of the stairs, when Ryan ran up spitting out his mouth guard.

"Eww.. Ryan, What do you want"

Ryan ignored Addie and leaned over the side of the foot bleachers, " Coach, is making us run an extra practice before the game Friday, you gonna need to find a different ride home"

Addie pursed her lips " Wrong you can find a ride home with one of your football Buddies"

" not gonna work little sis, I already told Jason I'd give him a ride" Ryan pointed back to the football field"

"You idiot I'm almost a month older than you"

"yeah, well whatever find you own way home, I'm the one with the keys."
Addie reached to grabbed the idiot by the helmet; When Jackie caught her by the arm " Don't worry I'll give you a ride home, we can even go to the hub after class is out!"
