( FYI most of the story is in Creel's POV)
I woke up to the very unpleasant sound of a Blender. I sighed my father was on one of his health strikes again. I swear having a very athletic dad is tiring, He was probably making some spinach smoothie or something else. Letting out one more exasperated sigh I climbed out of my bed. Not bothering to do anything with my hair, besides putting it up in a ponytail. I grab my game shorts and slip my Nike sweatpants over them. My Green Under Armour shirt that said " Not Braggin Just Swaggin." Stood out in stark contrast to my black pants. I walk out of the room slinging my black Columbia sweatshirt over my shoulder. My brother Hagen walks out of his room at the same time, a bad smell hits the air. We share a look, because we both know this smell is are breakfast. My mother no matter how much of good Designer my mother was she was terrible at cooking. " Hello Darlings." My mother says to us as we sit down at the table. Soon enough were being presented with burnt bacon and runny scrambled eggs. " So what's the plan for today?" She asked both of us. "I have a Basketball game and track practice, so I can just drive myself." I said. "I'm going out with Alle tonight, so I'll take my car." "OK, I have to work late tonight for kids who want extra credit so I won't be home till late, and your father is coaching the boys today." "OK" I said getting up, I kissed her on the cheek and walked out the door. I headed to my 2013 Blue Mustang. Once I got in the car I cranked my music and hit the gas pedal. Rihanna's "Rude Boy" was just coming to a close when I got to the school. Stopping the car I took the key out of the ignition and slipped my key ring back into my bag. I slung both my sports and school bags over my shoulder and headed into the school. Right when I get inside I am ambushed by Marta Hagardy. My best friend. " Creel! You're here oh goody! I have Fabulous news! TOBIN ASKED ME OUT! She screamed to the entire senior class. Tobin was the School's all star football quarterback he had a dozen girls lined up to date him, though he wasn't a player. I heard he's only ever had two girlfriends, and both of those relationships lasted 2 years and ended on good terms. " Oh, Marta I'm soooo happy for you!" I squealed sharing her enthusiasm. She hooked her arm through mine. " Now, we just need to find a boyfriend for you. You know you can't go to The Homecoming Dance alone." " Marta, I already told you I have no interest in any of the idiots that go to our school." She rolled her eyes but left the topic alone. The loud warning bell rang and we rushed to class. My first class of the day was Art with but she had asked us all to call her Velika. I took my spot next to Isla. She smiled at me warmly, and motioned for me to take my phone out. I slipped my Samsung Galaxy S4 out of my pocket. The message said Are u worried about the game tonight? My fingers flew across the touch sensitive screen. Not really, but my dad's really pressuring me to do good since college recruiters are going to be there. She glanced at her phone and quickly replied. Srry, I know how pressuring ur dad can be. But if it makes you feel better Miles and I will be there to cheer u on. Before I could reply I she sent another one my way. Speaking of Miles he wants u to meet his brother, he wants to set u guys up ;) I sent her an irritated glance but she just carried on in her cheery way. His name is Luka he plays basketball, football and runs track, hes funny and hot and just so nice. U 2 should totes get together the game ;) I put my phone away and rolled my eyes at her. She just stuck her tongue out at me but slid her cell back in her bag. Velika came in and started today's lesson about symmetrical lines in sculptures and 3D objects. When the bell rang Isla caught my arm. " C'mon Creel just at least talk to him, actually here he is right now." She spun me around and I saw the hottest guy that I had ever seen. He had tousled brown hair and warm chocolate brown eyes, his skin was lightly tanned and he had a warm smile on his face, not to mention he was tall. Like really tall, probably 6'4-6'5 if I had to guess. This boy has potential I thought to myself. Before I could process anymore thoughts he was coming towards us. Oh shit I thought to myself say something, say something you idiot. " Hey Isla" He greeted, ugh even his voice was hot. It took me a moment to realise that he was now talking to me. " Uh…..sorry what?" He laughed and smiled. " I asked you what your name was." " OH, uh Creel." He smiled and then laughed even harder gesturing to my shirt then unzipped his own Nike sweatshirt he had the same shirt in Blue. I smiled and laughed " Twinsies!" I laughed, this was easier than I thought he was just so easy to talk to. " I'll see you later twin." He says then, turns to run to the class I have just came out of. Isla smirks at me as if to say I told you so. I just glare at her as if to say Shut up. The rest of the day rushes by in a blur until I get to Math with , I was just finishing up my Quantum Physics homework, when she announced a new seating arrangement. I gathered up my books and began walking only to be blocked by another body. I looked up at the tall figure, only to be greeted by a pair of smiling eyes. " Creel, i'm not a doorway you can't just walk right through me." He chuckles, I stick my tongue out at him and roll my eyes. " Hahahahaha, you're hilarious." I comment sarcastically. He's about to reply when we're joined by another form. " Creel is this guy bothering you?" Oh no. I know that voice all too well, It's Rolain Perkson the guy has been obsessed with me for years and everyone knew not to make a move on me because he had already staked his claim and no one wants to mess with a psychopath. " No Rolian, please go away." I sigh exasperatedly. " Wait Creel, I wanted to ask you to go to the Homecoming dance with me." "No-" " And I wont take no for an answer." " Actually, she's going with me so…..tough luck." Luka cuts in cheerily. Rolian storms away fuming. I turn to Luka. " Thank you." He smiles genuinely but then it turns more wicked. " Just for that you will actually have to go to the dance with me." "No!" "Why you got a boyfriend who'll take you." " Well no-" "Then it's settled you'll go with me." He gave me no more time to reply and went over to talk with his friends which consisted of Tobin, Miles, Will and Chase. I was left there feeling numb. " ….and Creel you'll sit in the back with Luka." I groan taking my seat and he brushes past me. I can literally feel his leg touching mine these desks are sooo close together. " OH, and the person you're sitting next to will be the partner you have for your homework assignment tonight." I'm not looking at him but I can feel his smirk burning into the side of my head. His foot nudges mine and then wraps around my ankle. Well Hell you only live once, I wrap my ankle back around his until we're playing a mini game of footsie. When the bell rings, I am so excited to get out of there I forget about are entwined feet and jump up. Which results in me literally falling on top of him. I land on his strong chest are legs tangled and somehow my arms have ended up wrapped around his neck are faces just inches apart. " Hey! No making out in Math class! Luka I am ashamed to call you my brother I thought you have more class, than to act like a horny teenager on the first time meeting the girl." Miles yelled at us smirking. I turned bright red and tried to extract myself from his arms. Which only resulted in us getting more tangled, somehow in this mess he ends up on top his legs on either side of mine. Finally we get up, both of us blushing and stammering. Rolian looked about ready to kill Luka, his fists were clenched together in rage. Luka picked my things up for me and we both sprinted out of the room. The parking lot was close to empty when we got there. " Where are you parked?" He asked. " Over there." I nodded my head toward my mustang. "WOW, that's a bitchin car." He complimented as we walked. He threw my stuff in the car and helped me in. Before I knew it his hand was in my pocket. Just as quickly as he put it in, it was out. " See ya, at the game Creel." Then he was gone. My hand found a strip of paper in my pocket on it was a phone number. I entered it into my phone and crumpled the piece of paper up. I quickly typed in the number and texted him. U r sooo cliche. Really slipping ur number in my pocket. Did u get that from a movie or something? I finished the text, not a moment later he texted back. Please it was cute and spontaneous. And yes every good chick flick has that scene ;) Flirty bastard. God, flirt much ;) I'll see u at the game flirt. BZZZ. Oh, im the one thats flirty. What about the little foot game of urs. And I distinctly remember ur arms around my neck. ;) I sighed texting furiously. Wht?! U were the 1 tht started tht little game. and ur over using the winky face. A few minutes had passed when my phone lit up again. GTG Basketball practice, c ya at the game. I didn't bother replying and threw my phone into the passenger seat. Cranking the radio up to Jason Derulo's "Talk dirty" I made my way home. The house was empty, and our dog Rosco was asleep in Dad's old recliner. I made myself a burger and threw some Lays chips on the plate as well, and scarfed down the meal faster than you could say " Damn girl!" Warm ups were just starting when I got to the gym. Coach Niva was ordering everyone around like always. I rolled my eyes at her antics and slipped on my warm up jacket. My cousins Pella and Leesel were passing the ball back and forth and practicing lay ups. The sound of the ball slapping against the floor calmed my nerves a little. " Carlbrun! Eyes on the ball." Coach Niva's gruff voice rang out. She looked at me hardly, don't let her gruff demeanor fool you. She loves all of us like her own children. " Line up!" We ran out into the front gym. The crowds' cheers were deafening, My eyes searched the crowd for him but were utterly disappointed when they found Rolian's blue eyes instead. He grinned at me and sent me a thumbs up. I sent him a dirty look and started searching again. I found Isla first, Miles had his arms around her and she was grinning like she always was. Standing beside Miles wearing that infuriating smirk was Luka. He winked at me and my face lit up like a christmas tree. The lights in the gym making my red blush stand out more. The ball was put into play and the game started.
