Roman-
I looked into the mirror at my reflection. I sighed. My Shield uniform was on, just got the crap kicked out of me by Orton. Unzipping my vest and taking it off, hanging it on the hook. I tied my hair up and looked at my back.
I hissed, bruised. I went back out and gave a nod to Dean, who was rubbing his neck. I sat down and pulled out a picture, smiling at her pretty face. It always helped after a bad match, especially tonight seeing as the Shield is now over. It was from our trip to Disney World. I put it back and got ready to go.
"Hey you about ready?", Dean asked.
"Yeah", I said nodding.
Getting into our car, I couldn't help but think about her again. Wondering what she was doing now. Was she thinking of me the way I thought about her? Did she miss me the way I missed her? Smile on my face.
"What's up with you?", Seth asked from the back.
"Just thinking", I said softly.
"About?", Dean asked.
"A girl", I said.
Seth popped his head forward over the seat.
"Ooooh whats her name?", Seth asked with a smile.
"Christina", I mumbled.
I looked at them. I chuckled. They were waiting for more. I sighed.
"I met her my Senior year in high school. Well I knew her already but she was well, she got along with everyone and I was this cool football player, or at least that's how I saw it", I said.
Joe-
Walking into the class with Kyle and Danny beside me. I wasn't really watching where I was going. Seeing as it was sixth period, I didn't care. Bumping into someone, I looked down at her.
"Watch where your going", I snapped.
She rolled her eyes. Usually they apologized and took off.
"Me? You. You're the one who bumped into me, asshole", she said, before finding her seat in the front.
My friends laughed at me. I passed by her close and glared. The scent of strawberries hit my nose, a small smile on my lips. I always liked picking on her. She sighed. I took a seat in the back.
"Dude, why won't you admit that you like her", Kyle said.
"I don't like her. I like messing with her", I said with a smile.
"She's pretty cute. You should go for it, and she smells really good", Danny said.
"I know, strawberries", I said.
They looked at each other and laughed.
"You actually smelled her? Dude creepy much", Kyle said.
"Shut up", I said.
"So like, you wouldn't mind if I asked her out then?", Kyle asked.
I swallowed.
"You would. Relax, I won't ask her out", Kyle said.
"I don't care, ask her if you want", I shrugged.
He laughed.
"Sure you don't", he said.
Before I could reply, Mr. Anderson walked in.
"Good Morning class. I hope you finished your report", Mr. Anderson said.
Everyone groaned. He chuckled.
"I know, I know, but they are due by the end of class today. So, I'm giving you this time to finish them", he said.
I talked with Kyle and Danny.
"Christina, are you ok?", I heard Mr. Anderson ask the girl I bumped into.
"Yes. Just, can I go to the nurses?", she asked.
"Of course", he said.
She got up and took off fast out the room. She didn't come back at all. I honestly didn't know why I cared or was even waiting for her to come back. A guy from the office came in and handed Mr. Anderson a note. He sighed. Looking around the room.
"Does anyone know where Christina Mathews lives?", he asked.
Danny nudged me.
"Dude, don't you live down the street from her?", he whispered.
"I do?", I asked.
He chuckled.
"Yeah man. She lives in that yellowish house at the corner", he said.
I shrugged.
"Ok", Mr. Anderson nodded as no one said anything.
The bell rang. Everyone packed their things quickly.
"Don't forget to turn in your reports", he said.
Danny looked at me.
"Coming man?", he asked.
"I'll catch up", I said, putting my stuff away.
He nodded. The room was empty now, I laid my paper on his desk.
"Have a good day Mr. Anoa'i", he said with a smile.
I nodded and was about to leave. I turned back to him.
"Mr. Anderson, I live near, um", I couldn't remember her name.
"Christina", he said.
"Yeah", I sighed.
He nodded.
"She had to go home. Would you mind dropping her things off?", he asked.
"Oh sure", I said.
He got up and put her papers and a book in her bag. He chuckled.
"Figures she was done with her report already", he said.
He took it. Handing me her bag.
"Thank you Mr. Anoa'i", he said.
I nodded. When I got to my car I tossed her bag to the passenger seat. Getting home, I watched her house. It didn't look like anyone was home. I sighed, telling myself I'd take it later. I went into my house and changed into some basketball shorts and a black tshirt, picking up my football bag and heading to practice.
"Great hit Joe", coach Allen yelled.
Helping Danny up as he was the Quarterback.
"Damn Joe", he said.
"Sorry bud", I said.
After practice, the coach came in. He gathered the Seniors in a huddle.
"Seeing as this is your last year boys, college scouts will be coming to look at you boys. So I need you to play hard out there this season", he said.
We nodded and he left us. I showered and changed. Throwing my bag into the trunk of my car. I got in and glanced at her bag. When I got home, there were lights on in her house. I got her bag and jogged over. Hoping someone other than her answered the door. Especially after how I acted at school.
