It all started with a tweet....

Don't mess with a pretty girl....

Kassie's Pov:

It's finally Friday night and Hayes has his first game tonight. It's 8:00 in the morning and I am in first hour and wanting to leave already. I can't keep my eyes off of my phone. Hayes keeps texting me. Plus the dude behind me which happens to be Cameron keeps messing with my hair. Like dude you have a girlfriend.

I feel my phone go off while Mr. Gray my history teacher is lecturing. I look at my phone in my lap....

H-
I absolutely love how adorable you look in my Jersey... I can't stop looking at how beautiful you look. Can't wait to see you on the sidelines tonight.

K-
Awe your too sweet this class blows so much. I just want to go home and talk to you or just sit and cuddle up next to you for the whole night. But that can't happen. But if we don't stop texting now were going to get in trouble....

H-
Idc baby, being in detention with you will be worth it. Plus the teacher is never in there anyways.

"Mr. Grier did you just here what I just said?" I look up from my notebook that I was doodling in. I mouth to myself "Shit" Hayes looks up from his phone and says "Yes Mr. Gray I heard you. You wouldn't want to go to the game tonight right?"

He sighs and says "Yes I will be joining the game tonight. Thank you Hayes.... Ms. Downs...."

Hayes's eyes look straight into mine. He text me saying...

H-
Lie, joke about the game or something...

I look up and he says "Ms. Downs you wouldn't want to be joining me for detention tonight would you?" I look through the corner of my eye and see Hayes and he looked worried. I say "Well Mr. Gray I am sorry, but I can't join you tonight in detention because I am not for sure what my coach would say if her team captain and when her star flyer doesn't show up to the game tonight? Do you?"

He sighs and says "Um.... no she wouldn't....." "BING"

I stand up to grab my stuff when I am shoved into my desk. My hip hits the side of the desk and it hurt. I look to see who it was and make eye contact with Brandie.....

She says "Oh I am sorry... actually I am not. Your the school slut now... every since you stepped foot in MY school you have been, and now that your wearing Hayes's jersey with "GRIER" on the back, you have a target on your back. Your just another bitch in the sea of Hayes Grier fan-girls-"

"Who the hell do you think you are Brandie?? I mean honestly, who died and made you the queen of Davidson Day? Nobody. I know why Hayes broke up with you and why his family hates you." Hayes jumps in and says "Babe, Babe... wow what's going on here?"

"Brandie thought it was cool to bump my hip bone into my desk when I have to do a game tonight and now she is calling me a slut because I am wearing your jersey and I am with you..."

Brandie says "Whatever, hope you two have fun together alone in his bed...." I jump but then my hip makes me not. I grab it and Hayes looks at me and says "Kass we got to get you to the nurse." I look at him and at Brandie....

I say "You better watch you back because don't mess with a pretty girl without preparing yourself for what's to come. Because right now your not having anything good coming your way so far." She rolls her eyes.

I go to grab my things but Hayes looks at me and says "I got it baby girl, during lunch we can have the nurse look at it. But can I talk to you next hour... can you ask to go to your locker for something and I will meet at your locker."

I look at him and say "Oh.... Okay.. Will you walk with me?" "Always will beautiful." He says.

We start walking back to my locker before the bell rang. I get to my locker and I see Danielle. She says "Hey, did you hear?!!" I look up and am kind of limping. Danielle says "Kassie are you okay?!" I nod and say "So what were you going to tell me?"

She says while I am opening my locker. "Well, they just announced homecoming court sign up... and when homecoming is... It's the first week of October... which is in 3 weeks!!!!" I smile and say "Sounds fun, but I don't have a dress or a date.. so I probably won't go." Hayes looks at me and says "You never know what your hot boyfriend has planned...."

He wraps his hands around my hips and  I cringe at the pain. Hayes says "Are u sure your okay baby?" I nod. He slides his cold fingers up the hemline of his jersey. He lifts it up and covers the view and looks at it. He says

"Babe this is really bad... it's already bruised...." I look at it with one of his arms still around me. I look at his eyes and he was scared. He says "Are you going to be able to cheer tonight?" I look at him and he is pushed up against the lockers with his arms around my waist.

I look at him again.... Just being able to look him in the eyes and see him look at me the same way, is unbelievable. I look at him and say... "Not for sure.. tonight after school I will ice it when we get home till it's time for the game. You have to leave early don't you?"

"Yeah I actually  do baby I am sorry... But I can cuddle with you or whatever you want till I believe 5:45. How's that sound? Oh and tonight after the game there is that party at Hannah's remember?" I nod and say "Yes I do and if I am feeling okay then I would like to go."

He says "Great.... well what you said to Brandie in History was un-called for..." I look at him with anger.. I say... "Oh.. I am so sorry Hayes... it just sort of came out.." He says "It's okay Babe... I understand..." He rubs his thumb against my arm and I let my head hang down.

He says "Let's go, were going to be late for next hour."

*******

At Lunch...

Kassie's Pov:

I walk to my locker after Geometry, when I see a handsome looking fellow leaning up against my locker smiling at me. I walk over to him and say "Um... excuse me but I think your in my way of my locker... Can you please move?" He says "Oh I am so sorry, I shall move just because a beautiful girl like yourself asked so nicely."

I smile. He moves over and I get in my locker. I finish getting my things out of it and close it and he was still standing there. He shuffles over and is in front of me again. I smile to myself and he pulls me closer to him by my waist that wasn't hurt.

We were close to each other... very close. He lifts my chin up with his finger and says "Kassie, you know who I am.. don't play any games with me." I smile and he leans down to kiss me.

When the teacher comes around the corner and says "No PDA please... get to lunch Ms. Downs and Mr. Grier."

We smile and I fall onto his chest and laugh to myself. He says "Come on, lets get to lunch. You need to eat. Days almost over with too." I smile and take his hand and we walked to lunch.
