"Amyyyyyyyyyyyy," Lita whined as we pulled into the parking lot of the community college,
" how did I let you convince me to come here? It's summer. I repeat, summer! No school,
free time, ya know. Look where we are, school!" " It'll be fun, Lita. Besides, we had a
deal, I take basketball with you if you take Algebra II with me. Besides, it counts as
credits for high school. Now, let's go!" I replied to her grumbling. We had the math class
first, which went quiet well. The teacher instantly assigned work to do. It was quite
simple. Lita's eyes practically popped out of her head after she opened the textbook and
looked at the problems.I had to help Lita more than I expected to. I never understood why
people had so much trouble with math, numbers are easy. After completing the class
assignment and the homework, class was over.
" All those numbers made me dizzy! Now it's time for your punishment, hehe! Basketball 101,
here we come! Hurry up, Ames! Gotta make sure we get a good ball. I'll make a basketball
player out of you yet!" she exclaimed cheerfully. " Since when were you a basketball nut?"
I questioned, hoping to calm her down a bit. She frowned for a second before brightening
back up and replying," Well...I met this guy a few weeks ago. He's in the class. Said I got
natural skills." I just sighed. It always had to be about boys with her.
The gym was halfway full of people shooting basketballs. Some were really horrible and
could barely throw the ball close enough to hit the rim while others never missed. Lita
grabbed two balls and tossed one at me when we reached an empty basket. She instantly went
at it; she was right, she did have skills. I bounced the ball a few times. Once Lita shot
again, I stepped up closer to the basket. I use both of my hands and threw the ball up.
Unfortunetly, it hit the bottom of the rim and bounced on to the court next to ours, which
had been empty a minute ago. I quickly turned to go fetch it when I heard some guy say,
" Here ya go. Might wanna aim a tad bit higher." I caught the ball which was tossed
lightly back to me. I looked up to thank the person and was instantly shocked. The guy was
tall, just south of six feet I guessed. He had short, spiked, brillant red hair and brown
eyes with a piercing on the side of his left eyebrow. His shirt was bright green and had
a skateboard brand's logo on it while his shorts were ten sizes too big and barely hanging
on. I quickly blushed, realizing that I was staring. He just laughed and waved me off. Lita,
who had been watching the whole time, started to laugh her head off at me. " Well, ain't he
a looker! He reminds me of this guy I once knew... only cuter! You should have seen your
face, it was so funny! I'm sure he'll let you touch his hair if you ask nicely," she teased.
I blushed even more. " I wasn't looking at him in that way, Lita!" I yelled back. This just
set her off into another laugh fest at my expense.
Unfortunetly, I think she was right. During the entire two hours, when I wasn't busy making
an idiot out of myself, I could help but watch him. He was alluring, in a strange sort of
way. I caught his eye once, but he looked away quickly. After class ended and we were driving
home, Lita said," So, Ames? What'd you think of Asher?" I thought for a minute, but couldn't
remember who Asher was. " Come on, Amy! The flaming red haired, pierced eyebrow guy? Yeah,
you remember him. Think he'd like me?" she questioned. " I'm sure he would, Lita. What's not
to like?" I replied. She nodded her head, liking what I had said. " I might ask him out
tomorrow," she then said. I simply nodded. I don't know why she would want to date someone
like him, but to each his own. He wasn't exactly someone you'd want to bring home to mom, ya
know. After awhile, she told me that she was also thinking of asking out some guy who I hadn't
noticed in our math class. After a quick good bye, she dropped me off at my house and left
with a honk of the horn.
