"Alright, you all have come this far and today is the first day of your last days in this wonderful abode" Principal Mason said to us.
We usually have a short orientation before we begin our exams.
"Did you just say wonderful?" Rico said
"Yes, this place is wonderful and unless you want to spend your entire summer writing freelance articles for me then shut up" He said
He went on with his speech then wished us best of luck.
"Good morning kids, you have exactly five minutes before the exams start so you can go over to your locker to pick up whatever item you need. You're not allowed to go in with anything other than your writing materials. Best of luck to the eleventh graders"
I dropped my backpack and took out my pencil and pen. I saw all of our classmates standing outside the class.
"What's happening guys?" I asked
"Mr George has some kind of fool proof and one man for his meal arrangement or something like that" Jolene said
That man is such an idiot.
"Now let's see you morons try to cheat your way to college" He yelled "Get in here, you unfortunate corn sacks"
"Corn sacks? What does that even mean?" Julian asked
"Go ask your mother" He spat
He took craziness to a whole new level by actually putting our name tags on the desk.
The annoying part is that he didn't write our real names, he used the nicknames he usually calls us.
He calls me Carrot top so I'm guessing that's my seat by the trash can right next to poop deck which is Jace, who's desk was in a much more unfortunate place.
Beside Mr George.
I'm guessing he put the both of us in front because he doesn't trust us. I saw a table labeled burnt spaghetti, he calls Avery that because there was one time she had a bad tan and her skin got burnt.
The thing is that Julian has the most normal name tag.
Pretty Reece girl.
He kind of likes Julian because she's the smartest girl in our class. At least I got a good one, his nickname for Rico is chicken breast.
I sat down and took a deep breath before turning my paper over. I looked at the question and smiled, this was the last part I read in physics before I took a break to kiss Julian.
She's indeed my good luck charm.
The three days that the exams were on was hetic for every member of our school. I couldn't even spend time with Jules because she switched off her phone.
She said that if she stares at it for way too long then she would be tempted to call me and if she should call me then she'll realize that she misses me a lot then she'd get distracted. If she gets distracted, she'll fail her exams and then she won't get to go to college and she'll be stuck in some grocery store being the hot cashier that makes your fantasy into a reality.
She's so cute when she's anxious, she's also cute when she's calm. She's cute no matter what her mood is.
Finally, the bell rang and I knew that my days in high school were over. This is it, after the game then nothing else matters in this shitty place.
"Ok guys, I want you go out there and make me the happiest coach in the history of all coaches" Coach Kirk hugged every single member of our team.
"Make me proud" I whispered into Julian's ear and pecked her cheek. She's going to be mine after today's game, fully mine and no single part to share.
"Guys this everything we've worked our ass of for. We're one team and we stick together. We are the Lions and we are the King of all team. Let's go out there and show The Cheetahs that we're the Kings of the pitch" I said
"PLAYERS TOGETHER, LIONS FOREVER" Jace led the other players on.
"Good luck" I said to Emerson.
"I don't need luck" He said and gave a high five to a member of his team.
"Yeah but you're gonna need tissue when we trash your smelly ass" Julian said
"Oh, I'm so scared" They burst into laughter "Why don't you stick to just being pretty since that's all you're good at?" He said
"Don't talk to her like that" I said
"You ready on the left?" The general overseeing coach said.
"Yeah" I nodded
"Ready on the right?"
"Was born ready" Emerson cracked his neck bone.
"Best of luck" He blew his whistle.
Every year, our school gets disappointed because our inability to crush the Cheetahs but this year, we're going to win.
"Hut, hike, hike, hut" Julian threw the ball at Rico. He pushed past the vicious cheetahs who wanted to collect the ball from him. He threw the ball to Riley but Emerson caught it.
I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. I jumped on my toes and went after him. Julian immediately came to my side to assist and finally the ball was in my control.
I ran as fast as I could, forgetting everything and thinking about the wish I made to my dad to win my very last game in high school.
"TOUCHDOWN" The crowd stood up and roared
"You did it, you did it" Julian jumped into my arms and I spun her around.
"No we did it. I don't know what I did to ever deserve someone like but you make me so fucking happy. You drive me so crazy because you're immune to sadness and even when you try to act sad, your cheerful personality blooms like a flower. I'm a shy guy and don't know much this is about love so I'll let nature tell you that..."
Immediately as I said that, fireworks came up in the sky and they had the inscription
'I love you Angel eyes'
"Andrew?" She looked so shocked like she has been hit by a pick up truck.
"I love you so fucking much and I don't think I can ever live without you. I guess what I'm saying is that I want you to be mine. Will you go out with me?" I looked in her eyes and looked for an expression.
A tear dropped from her eyes "Took you that long to realise it? You're such a basket case but you're my basket case" She grabbed my neck and tiptoed so that her lips can touch mine.
She pulled away from me
"Is that a yes?" I asked
"I don't know, Why don't we try again?" She said
I wrapped my hands around her waist and enclosed her lips in mine.
"Awwn" The crowd cheered us on
"Come on, suck her damn face off" Riley yelled. I raised my middle finger at him and continued kissing her tender and delicious lips that I'm even craving more as I'm ravishing it.
**
Finally
I love you.
~Peace
