But... She's a girl. (A Peyton Meyer Love Story)

He's Got Another Thing Coming

*Peyton's POV*

"Psst Peyton. Wake Up." I heard someone whisper as they shook me. I opened my eyes and saw Cole.

"What? Are we here yet?" I asked, rubbing my eyes.

"Yeah. We are. " He chuckled. "We've been here for seven minutes and I've been trying to wake you since then. Dillon suggested leaving you in here but I figured I should be nice since it is only the first day." I sat up and unbuckled my seat belt, seeing my old house out the window. I smiled.

"Thanks" I said to Cole before getting out of the car and walking inside. Everything was just as we left it. I inhaled. It even smelled the same. Well... better, since my brothers and I are't here making a mess and throwing out sweaty sports gear on the ground. Well sorry mom, sorry Sheila, (our cleaning lady) all that's about to begin again. I walked up to my room, seeing that Dillon already set my suitcases down. I kicked off my shoes, laid down on my bed and looked up at my ceiling, unable to stop smiling. I took my phone out of my pocket and opened the Twitter app. "Finally here" I tweeted simply before closing the app. I noticed that it was barely 9 A.M., so I locked my phone and set it down. I thought that I should probably get some more sleep before meeting up with my friends, who I haven't seen in months. I shut my eyes and happily drifted off to sleep.

...

I woke up and stretched. I yawned and got out of bed. I grabbed my phone, seeing that it was about 12 and I had 7 text messages. One from Rowan, One from Sabrina, One from Corey, One from my friend Jamie, One from my friend Tyler and Two from Cole, who was two rooms over. Why the heck did he text me? I walked downstairs and into the kitchen, kinda hungry now. I unlocked my phone, reading and answering my texts.

Rowan: Are u there yet? What's it like?

Me: Yeah, it's just as great as I remembered

-

Sabrina: U left ur sunglasses here.

Me: Oh I did? Save them for me & I'll get them when I get back

-

Jamie: Txt me when u reach LV

Me: Here. I'll see u & the guys later

-

Tyler: R u still meeting up with us later?

Me: Yeah, Can u pick me up? My car's still in LA.

-

Cole: I'm hungry

Cole: Make me a sammich?

-

I didn't answer those two. I just laughed and opened the fridge. I made myself a sandwich and decided that I would make one for Cole since he was being nice this morning in the car. I took a bite of my sandwich and sat it back down on the plate before putting everything away. I grabbed some chips and put a handful onto my plate. I took another bite.

"Cole!" I yelled with my mouth full. He came stomping down the stairs in his boxers

"What?"

"I made you a sandwich" I smiled. It was weird being nice to each other for once. He walked over and saw his sandwich

"Why doesn't mine have any chips?" He whined. And the being nice thing is over...

"You didn't ask for chips. You asked for a 'sammich' " I told him, putting finger quotes up when I said the word. He sighed and grabbed his sandwich.

"Whatever." He grabbed one of my chips and popped it into his mouth before going back upstairs, glaring at me. I rolled my eyes. Well, it was nice while it lasted. I grabbed my plate and went into the livingroom. I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV, eating my sandwich. My phone buzzed and I looked at it. It was a text from Tyler saying that he could pick me up and that he'd be here at 3. I shot him back a simple 'Okay.' and just relaxed for a bit since that was a few hours away.

I finished my sandwich and went to take a shower around 2:30. I got out and threw on some jeans and a tee along with some sneakers. I really don't understand why it takes girls so long to get ready. Tyler texted me again, telling me he was here. "Mom! I'm leaving! I yelled before opening the door. She didn't answer but I figured she probably heard me and if she didn't, i told her earlier that I was going out so she shouldn't worry. I got into Tyler's car and we did our special handshake.

"Hey! You still remember!" He said, as he began driving

"How could I forget." I laugh. "So where we meeting the guys?"

"Antonio's, duh. Is there any other place." Tyler reminded me

"Oh right, right. Sorry" Antonio's was a pizza place downtown. We used to always go there to plan parties and pranks or sometimes we would go after winning a game. You'd think after all the times we've gone, we'd be sick of pizza but nah, we love it too much.

We continued to talk as Tyler drove. He caught me up a little on what I missed. He parked the car and we walked into Antonio's and saw Joe, Michael, Jamie, and Jesse, sitting in our usual booth.

"Hey Peyton!" Antonio said, greeting me as we walked in. He had a pretty strong Italian accent so my name sounded like 'Pay-tone' when he said it.

"Nice seeing you again, Tony."

"You too. These animals are crazy without you. You need to manage them" He joked, referring to the guys. Tyler and I laughed.

"I'll try" I said before going over to join the guys.

"Hey Peyton" A girl from my old school said as we passed each other.

"Hey" I flashed her a smile and she blushed as I took a seat.

"I still don't understand how you do that." Joe said.

"You will someday... If you're lucky" I laughed, simply teasing him

"Trust me, one day, I'll be better at getting girls than you and you'll be jealous"

"Keep dreaming." Michael said to him, patting his back

"Man, whatever. Let's just get some pizza."

...

We've been here for almost two hour just catching up. Man, I missed these guys. Yeah, I loved my friends back in LA but there's nothing like hanging out with kids you grew up with. It's a good thing Antonio likes us, anyone else would've kicked us out already.

"So do you know that we've got a new player on the team?" Jesse told me

"Yeah? What's he like?" I asked,

"Well, we dont know..." He added

"Coach sent us all a text, letting us know he found someone but we haven't actually met the kid" Tyler said.

"Do you guys at least know his name?" I asked, needing a little more information

"Alex. I think it was."

"Alex, huh?" I started thinking.

"Yup, and he's a pitcher. Supposed to be really good, too." Joe smirked at me.

"Oh really? Well if this Alex kid thinks he's better than me. He's Got Another Thing Coming" I laughed

————————————————

And that's Chapter two. Seems like the guys are a little confused, huh? Stay tuned to find out what happens when they meet Alex. Do you think they'll be happy to meet "him"?
