I Promise

Chapter 4

“Dude, why did you take off right after the game?” Taylor asks as I open up my locker next to him.

            “I was talking to this girl.” I reply nonchalantly.

            “A girl Fetcher? I thought you were in to banging Stacy.” Spencer replies with a smirk.

            “Wait a second, you banged Stacy more than once?” Grant chimes in. I pull off my jersey and shoulders pads before throwing my hands up.

            “Guys listen. Number one, I have banged Stacy plenty of times Grant and she's amazing. Number 2, I invited a girl to Grant's party tonight.” I say loud enough for all to hear.

            “What's she look like?” Taylor asks, pulling a white t-shirt over his head.

            “She's...” I try to think of words to describe Kay. She's beautiful, irresistible, gorgeous, but none of those work. They all make me sound like I'm going soft, and that can't happen around the guys. “She's smoking hot.” I reply.

            “Score!” Spencer says, offering up a high five.

            “You gonna tap that tonight, Fetcher?” Taylor smirks.

            “You know it!” I say loudly. Everyone laughs in response as I continue getting dressed. I slip a deep blue shirt over my head and dark jeans over my boxers. The whole football team is going to the party, along with all the cheerleaders and other athletes. No common people are allowed unless they are sexy. That's the rules of every party at Eastland High.

            “Dude, let's go.” Spencer says, shutting his locker. I spray my chest with some Ax before closing my locker. I fish my keys out of my pocket and turn to him.

            “Are we carpooling?” I ask.

            “Naw man, I got my car. But let's hurry and get there before your sexy lady.” I smile and shake my head, throwing my letter man jacket on before exiting the locker room with him. Half of the team has already left, and there is no doubt the cheerleaders are already there along with the dancers. Grant was the first one to leave so he could let everybody in.

            Once we make it to the parking lot I hop in my car, offering Spencer nothing but a wave. I turn the key in the ignition, revving the engine before buckling up. I throw the car into first gear and make my way out of the parking lot onto the empty side street.

            There is something about Kay that has got my insides churning. I've never been so crazy about a girl before. The problem is, I can't tell anyone. If the guys knew, my reputation would be blown. I have to keep my dick status if I want to be elected prom king. I run this school, and I can't give that up just for some hot chick. She can't be anything special but a nice ass and pretty face. I need to realize that before I get in too deep.

            While I contemplate what to do, my hands glide over the steering wheel, taking the familiar rout to Grant's house. He lives in a top notch subdivision like me. His house is almost a mansion, holding seven rooms, two kitchens, a pool and a huge game room downstairs. I seriously love his house.

            I park in the driveway and notice that seven cars are already parked around the loop, including Spencer's. I unbuckle and step out, pressing the automatic lock as I shut the door. I shove my keys in my pocket as I make my way up to the front door and knock. Grant opens it and I'm surprised he could hear me knocking over the bass of the stereo in the living room.
