RING!
"Don't forget to do the review assesment on page two-ninety!" Mr. Wolter called as student began to bustle out of the room.
I closed my biology book and grabbed my backpack from behind my chair, stuffing in the book. Finally, school was over and soccer began. About. Time.
Leaving the room I headed straight to my locker to retrive my cleets and gym bag.
"Nate!" someone called.
I closed my locker to see Shane Gray and Jason Montgomery, my best friends walking towards me.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Practice is canceled. Neilman busted his knee or something," Shane answered.
What?! No, no...shit. I slumped agaisnt my locker, try to play it off cool. I clutched my bag to my chest. My mind raced like never before.
"Nate, are you okay. Chill out, the'll have a replacement by tommorow," Jason said.
"No, I'm fine. So why don't we go get pizza or something. I'll pay," I offered.
"I'm not one to pass up free food, but-," Shane began, only to be cut off by a female voice.
"Who's talking about free food?" Mitchie Torres, Shane's girlfriend since forever, asked.
"Hey Mitch," Shane greeted, putting his arm around her shoulder, "Nate was inviting us for pizza, as much as I want to, I can't. I've got to help my dad out at the shop. Sorry Nate,"
I shrugged, "S'okay, what about you Jase?"
"Can't buddy, I'm giving guitar lessons tonight," Jason answered.
I was running out of options, "Mitch, you wanna come?"
"Aww, sorry Nate. Musical rehearsal," Mitchie replied.
What am I supposed to do now? I can't go home, at least not yet. Then I saw my ticket. My girlfriend, Caitlyn Anne Gellar. She couldn't say no. I mean, I'm me. Nate Gray, co-captain of the varsity soccer team. Straight 'A' student. Handsome to boot.
"We'll, I'll catch up with you guys later. Ice cream at Lupin's tommorow?" I asked.
"Sure," Shane agreed.
"I'm in," Jason and Mitchie chorused.
"Great, bye!" I waved and took off after Caitlyn who was already exiting the school building.
I finally got to her side as she reached the end of the strairs.
"Hey," I greeted.
"Hey you," she replied.
I snagged her backpack from her in my attempts to be a gentelman and good boyfriend.
"Thanks," Caitlyn said.
"It's nothing really. So you want to do something, maybe go to the park,"
"I would but I've got dance at the community center in like half an hour. Its a long practice before the showcase next weekend," Caitlyn explained.
"Oh...well, want me to walk you there?" I asked.
"I'd like that,"
"The long way?"
"Why?" Caitlyn questioned.
"Oh, I mean, It's such a nice day and all," I answered.
"Nate, the rain clouds are moving in," she pointed out.
"Oh...I-i didn't notice,"
I internally groaned, tilting my head back a bit. Hoping at least one thing would go my way.
"You're acting all weird Nate," Caitlyn mused, "You never want to go home right after school. Speaking of home I haven't even been to yours yet, or even met your dad. You've met my parents already,"
"Um, my dad is usually working a lot, he isn't home very often. When he is, he's usually crashed on the sofa,"
Work has nothing to do with it.
"Oh. Well maybe sometime soon?
"Yeah, sure," I comfirmed.
Yeah, how about the ninth of never gonna happen? Works for me. You too? Great.
"...Nate...Nate?" Caitlyn broke me from my thoughts.
"Yeah?"
"Are you okay? You're all weird today. You are everyday. You need some more extra curricular activities mister," Caitlyn scolded.
"Probably," I murmered.
Before anymore words could have been exchanged Caitlyn floated up the stairs in front of the community center. We had reached our destination. And I'm still screwed.
"I'll see you later Nate. I'll call you tonight,"
I waved as Caitlyn dissapeared behind the giant doors of the center. I sighed, adjusted the weight of my backpack on my shoulder and continued to shuffle down the side walk.
