reagan's pov

"joe just leave me alone." i said and he looked at me.

"look reagan i know it looks bad and seems like i was trying to just get in your pants which i will admit at first i was, but reagan i really like you."

"no you don't joe."

"yes i do. for gods sakes i haven't even had sex with anyone since i met you."

"wow that must be serious then and don't lie olive told us you did and you bragged about it."

"no we didn't. she came to my room and started crying about her ex boyfriend then said that i obviously liked you because i wouldn't stop talking about you so we agreed to act like we had sex."

"i wanted to make you jealous reagan because i'm my entire life i have never met anyone girl like you and i really really like how you make me feel."

"why?"

"you are crazy funny and nice and smart not to mention beautiful and you always keep me on my toes. i never know what you're going to do next and i like it."

"really? i just i've always gone for guys like you. jocks that have an ego problem no offense and it has never ended well and i thought you were different until you hugged at my shirt."

"i'm so sorry for that reagan i will never do it again if you don't want it. please let's just hangout."

"okay fine."

we walked back to his apartment and turned on the tv. he went and got snacks and i turned on dance moms reruns. he handed me a chocolate milk which i gladly accepted and watched tv.

"joe i think we should just be friends you know. we both have a lot with sports and you are gonna be in the nfl soon." i said looking over to him. he seemed upset but nodded anyway.

"yeah that is probably for the best. i just can't believe you don't hate me anymore."

"i never hate okay yeah i did, but i just hated the way you acted in front of some people you know what i mean."

"yeah it's fine i thought you were a bitch when we first met." he said and i hit him.

"hey i'm not." i said and we laughed.

"okay i am i'll admit it."

"a hot one though." he said and i just laughed.

"i have something to tell you because i'm too scared to tell my friends." i said and he paused the tv looking at me.

"what's up? and we are friends."

"i just meant my girl-friends. i'm trying out for the 2020 olympic beach volleyball team. i qualified a few months ago and i think i'm quitting cheer to do it." i said. i had been stressed all week thinking about what to do and i figured he could help.

"that's awesome oh my god you're going pro before i am." he said hugging me. i just sat in his arms tearing up.

my dad always wanted me to play beach volleyball, but i constantly got told i wasn't y'all enough. if i could get to the olympics that would be a dream come true.

"are you okay?"

"yeah haha i'm good i'm just happy. my dad always wanted this for me, i just don't know if i should quit cheer my mom wants me to do it." i said pulling away from him.

"i think you should do whatever you want to. your mom would be proud either way. you should talk to my mom about it she's always been good at decision making." he if only he knew how unsupportive my mom was. i just nodded my head and smiled.

"obviously not because she chose to keep you." i joked laughing really hard to the point of tears. i was literally having a mental breakdown.

"ouch reagan you know your words are starting to actually hurt." he said grabbing his heart laughing.

"i'm sorry i had to. thanks for making me feel better though. i need to tell kelsey she's the one that made me you know..."

"kiss me well thank her for me tell her i'm still available." i hit him and he pulled away grabbing his shoulder where i hit him.

"wow i see how it is." he said and i just laughed playing the show again.

we watched tv for a bit and i had a game tomorrow, but so did they. our game was away and there's was home so we wouldn't see each other for the weekend most likely.

it was getting late so i stood up stretching out. joe had fallen asleep so i put a blanket over him and walked to the kitchen grabbing paper and a pen.

i wrote a note that said hey it's reagan it was getting late and i'm tired and seeing as you were already asleep i didn't want to wake you. see you whenever and by the way here's my number (xxx) xxx-xxxx.

ps good luck this weekend with yalls game i know you'll do well!!
