"Mr Reece, Can I see you?" Mr George called me after class ended.
"Sure" I came in front of him.
He brought out a letter from his desk and threw it on the table. I opened it and read the content.
"You have to do something about your grades or you're going to get suspended from ball" He said
"But the team needs him, I mean me"
"I've already talked to Coach Kirk and he said that he'd also talk to you"
I have to do help him out with his grades. When he comes back, I'll also help him out. I didn't know it had gotten this bad or I would have helped him out.
"There you are" Maddie wrapped her hands on my neck. Oh no, she had better not kiss me "Is it just me or are you looking a little bit shorter today?"
I didn't pay attention to a key factor, height. Jace is 6"2" while I'm 5"9" but with this sneakers I'm wearing, it's definitely adding a lot but I guess Maddie is too smart.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. I heard that you got into trouble with your parents"
"Yeah, it's cool. They took some of my gadgets away but I got new ones to replace them this morning"
This girl is so spoilt, I may be a rich girl too but I'm not as bratty as she is. She leaned in to give me a kiss and I swerved right. The last thing I need is to make out with her.
Laverne and Whitney came up to join us.
"Hello Laverne" I said
"Laverne? Have you turned to your bratty twin sister or are you just trying to make me mad?" He said
Oops, I forgot that I have to call him Andrew. "No, it's nothing like that" I cleared my throat.
"Anyways, Maddie darling, your party was a complete flop so I was thinking maybe I should throw a better party" I rolled my eyes at Whitney's stupid suggestion.
"Really? Didn't you learn anything from what happened yesterday?" I asked her
"Yeah that prison cells are for animals" She pushed her blonde locks away from her shoulder.
"I think that's where you belong" I murmured under my breath.
"What was that?" She asked
"Nothing" I coughed. Andrew, I mean Laverne was staring intensely at the ground and I followed his eyes to see that he was looking at my duck stockings.
Why did I forget to take them off?
"You're such a loser" He looked up to me and burst into laughter.
"I'm not a loser you fool, they're for Julian and I'm doing it to piss her off" I put my hands in my pocket like Jace would at this point.
"I may hate you but I love it when people offend Reece" He said
I ignored the fact that he still called me by my last name in front of "my brother".
"I have to go loser" He grabbed Whitney's waist and they walked away
"Those two are disgusting" Maddie shrudded
"Says the girl who wants to suck off my brother's face" I murmured under my breath
"Did you say something?"
"No I didn't"
I really didn't feel like eating so I decided to hear back to Darcey's place. I was almost in front of the front door when someone called out to me.
"Dude, where do you think you're going to?" Derek came up to meet me
"Um, I..." I stammered
"Have you forgotten we have practice?"
"No, of course not. Why would I forget unless I'm not Jace which I definitely am. Popcorn" I scratched my cheek. I did that stupid thing again where I freak out and say practically everything that's going on then end with something unrelated.
It's only been a day and you'll soon get exposed. Way to go Reese!
"Are you ok? You've been acting kind of weird since this morning" He asked
"I'm fine let's go" I was walking the other way then he grabbed my shoulder and started pushing me to the Boy's locker room???
I entered into the room and was greeted by different kind of boys in their briefs and a very strong stench of sweat and masculine energy. I turned around to leave but the Coach Kirk came up to me.
"Where do you think you're going to Reese? Get in there and head to the field" He pushed me against a door that was labeled Reece. There was a similar door beside it that was labeled Laverne.
So it's true that in a football team there's the mighty Captain who keeps the team intact, the glorious QB and the rest of the team. I was so glad that Jace has a separate locker room because I would have passed out if I saw a penis.
I locked the door then striped down and threw on Jace's practice jersey. I hope people won't realize that I'm a lot shorter than he is. Most of the guys in East wood high are nut heads so they won't notice but I hope Coach Kirk won't smell something fishy.
No I'm serious, the man can sniff out a can of tuna from under a pile of trash. I went out to the field and silently prayed that my plan won't fail on the first day.
I just did a bunch of warm up exercises while the others did all the work. Apparently, Jace was way too good to even bother to train with others. Even if they come up with a routine before the game, he still manages to make up new ones at the last minute.
It was only when I arrived in front of Darcey's house that I realized that day one of my plan was successful. I crashed on her bed once I got to her room.
I had someone bring a bunch of my things because I can't stay at home for now. My mom didn't seem to care whether I was gone or not.
