Hello everyone,
Here is another chapter for you. Thank you for the reviews. I appreciate them all.
Enjoy.
Chapter Two:
AJ's morning:
AJ wakes up around 7am to get ready for school. She doesn't need a lot of time to get ready with not wearing any make-up and a simple jean, t-shirt outfit. An hour to get ready is enough before Randy picks her up at 8am. Since Randy has a car or what he calls his baby he volunteered, well is tricked into volunteering to pick her and drop them to school. A typical morning for AJ is to wake up, take a shower, make breakfast, eat, and then wait for Randy. She is usually done before Randy honks his horn. AJ's parents are both work in the hospital; her mother is a nurse while her dad is a Cardio surgeon. Sometimes, her mom will arrives early to cook her breakfast, but she likes cooking her own breakfast.
"Okay, today is the day; the first day of High School." She reminds herself while stretching to wake up her limbs.
She lays out her clothes, wearing blue jeans and a Harley Quinn shirt, as she heads to the shower. After her shower, she gets dressed, gets her school supplies together before heading downstairs. Before making breakfast, she puts out a treat for the stray dog that comes through her backyard. She asks her parents if she can keep the dog, but with his dad allergic to dogs, she can't. He did accept for her to feed the dog outside in not to fully disappoint his daughter.
The dog comes just as she puts the treat outside this time. You could hear the dog bark happily to see his regular treat every morning.
"There you are." She scratches his head. "I'm sorry I can't keep you, but daddy is allergic." She goes to fill a container with water for him to drink after he eats. "You know what, since it a special day you can get two treats." The dog barks in excitement. "Shh, don't tell my parents." She takes out another treat for him. Afterwards, she goes back inside to make her breakfast which consists of toast, eggs, and juice. After cleaning up the kitchen after breakfast, she brushes her teeth and waits for Randy with the dog, if he still there. If not, she waits in the front yard reading one of her comics.
Randy's morning:
He wakes a bit earlier than AJ does, around 6:30am. He is more cautious on how he looks. For him the hair has to be perfect, even though he barely has any and he is picky of his clothes. Since there are football tryouts after school, he does mini workouts which consists of push ups and sit ups before showering. Not like AJ's parents, they are always home to make him breakfast and send him off to school. His mom is an elementary school teacher while his dad works is a police officer. A typical morning for him is to wake up, wash his face, work out for a bit if there is football after school, shower, dress, breakfast, and out the door to pick up AJ.
After showering, he gets changed in jeans and collar, button-up shirt with his work-out clothes in his gym bag for tryouts. He heads downstairs to be greeted by his mother.
"How is my baby boy today?" She greets cooking eggs, bacon, and sausages.
"Mom, I am not a baby anymore." He whines, but secretly he loves it.
"Well, you are to me and you always will be. You just have to live with me saying that every morning." She says not backing down. She can't believe that her only son his almost an adult. In four years time, he is going to move out to go to University or College.
"I know mom." He kisses her cheek. He is very close with her mom being the typical momma's boy.
"Are you going to kick some butt in the football tryouts today?" His mom questions while putting the bacon and sausage on his plate. She is always so proud of her son no matter what he accomplished.
"You know it mom. I am going to be the first freshmen Quarterback." He takes a bite of his bacon. "Mmm… I think your cooking gets better each day." He compliments.
"You can be such a charmer like your father." She giggles loving getting compliments, especially from her two boys as she puts the eggs on his plate.
"I heard my name." Randy's father enters with his uniform on.
"Hi dad." Randy greets.
"Hi son, you are going to show them who the best QB in the city is?" His father also questions being the one that introduce him to the sport.
"Of course, I am going to be the first freshmen QB in the school." He repeats what he said to his mom.
"That's my boy. Now, where is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen?" He scans the entire kitchen which make them all laugh.
"I am right here in front of you." She calls out.
"Oh, I didn't see you. I need my special beautiful glasses to see you. You are too beautiful for regular eyes." He kisses her.
"Stop it you are just like your son." She giggles having his arms around her.
"Oh really, why does our son have breakfast and I don't?" He pouts.
"He does because you have a special breakfast waiting for you."She grins.
"Oh, I love that type of breakfast." He kisses her.
"Eww, I am right here. Please no PDA or hints of PDA in front of your child." He is totally grossed out on the outside, but in the inside he loves the way his parents act. He hopes to have that one day.
"Whatever son, you will be gone to pick up AJ before we do anything." They always like to tease their son with this type of actions.
Randy didn't hear anything with his fingers in his ears. "Nope, I don't want to hear it. I am going to pick up AJ before I have to wash out my eyeballs." He finishes his breakfast before heading out the door.
"Wait." His mom calls out. "Good luck in your tryout. Take an apple for AJ just in case she didn't eat breakfast." She pecks his cheek. Randy's parents know that her parents aren't always there to cook her breakfast. "Also, tell them to bring their appetite for tonight. We have something special for them." She requests for him to tell AJ and John.
"Thanks mom. I will give this to her and tell John and AJ about your request. Bye. Bye dad." He calls out to his father.
"Good luck son." His father tells him as he joins his wife to wave their son off.
Randy gets to AJ's house to not see her in the front. As he is about to honk the horn, AJ exits the house.
"Hello Randy." She greets getting into the passenger side.
"Hello AJ how is the dog?" He asks feeling bad not just for the dog, but for AJ who loves dogs, but can't get on for her own.
"He is good. He looks healthier today than yesterday." She gives him a small smile not liking that he was bruised and unkempt yesterday.
"It was because you were not there yesterday. You went to your Aunt's yesterday for a family gathering." He explains knowing how much he loves the dog.
"I know I just wonder if he is really a stray or it is someone's dog." She wonders.
"Well tomorrow I don't have any football activities, we can see where he goes after school." He requests not liking to see his best friend down.
"Thanks daddy." She accepts still a bit worried for the dog.
"No problem, by the way mom gave me an apple in case you didn't eat. Also to bring your appetite because they have a surprise for you and John." He passes it to her.
"Aww, your mom is so sweet." She bites the apple.
"She is but they were gross today. I had to leave early because of their loveliness." He puts a gross face before driving off to school.
"You love their loveliness don't deny it." She jokes, but reality she knows that he wants to have what his parents have one day. "You love that they are lovey dovey in front of you. You want someone to do that with just like your parents." She makes kissy faces.
Randy rolls his eyes jokingly. Every time he tells her she does this, which is most of the time. He really does love his parents' affection towards each other it seems to grow each day. "Do you always have to do that every time?" He asks annoyed.
"Does it annoy you?" He nods already knowing the answer is. "Then yes I do." She giggles being her favourite past time to annoy him, but also knows when not cross the line.
"Fine whatever, I am just glad you are happy and worrying about today. My best friend is back to annoying me and supporting me." He smiles
"Thanks. You don't have to worry about that. Even though I will be mad at you, I will always support you." She promises.
"I don't know, but thanks." He teases her pulling up to a parking space.
"Hmph, I am mad at you now." She huffs while crossing her arms.
"So you won't be at my tryout." He wonders knowing she will be no matter what.
"Of course, I have to support John." She gets out of the car with a smile.
Randy is shocked. Once again, he fell for her tricks. He gets out of the car to see AJ with John waiting for him.
"Hey John, what's up?" He greets.
"What did you do to AJ? She is all sad and mad towards you." He plays along with AJ's plan.
"Not you too." John nods. Randy just throws his arms in the air in disbelief. "I am going inside before I say something else bad." He starts to walk to the doors with a smirk.
"So you are still going to the tryouts to cheer both of us on, right?" John inquires.
"Of course I am." She smiles brightly. "This is important to both of you. I wouldn't miss it for the world." She slyly smiles at him.
"Ah, you two, what do I do with you two." John shakes his head.
"I know. How can you stand being friends with us?" She sarcastically tells him. John shrugs as they walk to enter their school. "Oh, Randy didn't get to tell you but his mother said to bring an appetite; she has a surprise for us."
"Aww, she is so sweet." AJ nods in agreement.
Randy is at the door for their annual school assembly. Every year, at the beginning of school, they have an assembly about school rules, activities, and classes. It is mostly for the freshmen, but all Grades must attend. As he is waiting for AJ and John, he sees a girl since Grade 7 that she always likes.
"Hi Stacey." He nervously greets.
"Hey Randy, are you trying out for the football team this year?" She inquires with a flirty attitude.
"Yeah, QB." He says in a high tone being extremely nervous.
"Great, I am trying out for cheerleading. If we both make it we will see a lot from each other." She grins thinking he is cute.
"You can count on it." He opens the door for her and her friends.
When the door closes, he celebrates in finally taking to her.
"This is either he talked to Stacey or he is developing a new dance, what do you think John?" They both ponder as they saw the whole conversation.
"I say a new dance." John responds.
"Oh shut it you guys." He crosses his arms.
"Sorry, I'm happy for you, Randy." She hugs him.
"Thanks AJ."
They all enter the gym for the assembly.
