Spinner

Last night was a catastrophe! How could my entire plan backfire on me? Alli starts going out with Jimmy AND she starts being friends with Manny. And now, we are going to double date. What is this world coming to?
I shoved my feet into my etnies and put on a Zero Tee. I looked in the mirror. I looked terrible. I hadn't showered from the day before, because I just didn't feel like it. My hair was disheveled. I put my hands into my hair, and shook my hair around. There, that's better, I thought.
I grabbed my backpack and started walking to school. Across the street I could see Craig and Paige. Holding hands. Jesus, does everybody get to be happy, except me?
When I arrived at Degrassi, Coach Armstrong stopped me at the door.
"Spinner, when does your soccer practice start?" he asked me
"Today. Why?" I said.
"Well, I was just wondering because I didn't see you at basketball training."
"I didn't come because I didn't think that I had to since I was going to start soccer conditioning tomorrow."
"It's okay. Don't worry about it. Good luck with soccer."
"Thanks Coach."
I walked slowly to my locker. I didn't want to interrupt any "moment" Alli and Jimmy were having. Alli looked gorgeous today. She had her hair down, and it was down to her mid back. She looked even better with her hair down than up, if that was even possible. Her hair looked darker when it was down, but that really brought out her green eyes. She was so pretty. She had on a pair of baby blue etnies and a Wakefield band tee. If this girl was anymore like me it would be unreal.
That's when she did it. She kissed Jimmy. She pulled all of her books out of the locker, shut it, and kissed him. She freakin kissed him!
I walked slowly to the locker. "Hey guys, get a room!" I said, sarcastically.
Alli turned and grinned at me. I wish she wouldn't smile at me. "Hey GAVIN," she said, emphasizing the Gavin part, "how's your day going so far?"
Honestly? SHITTY! "It's going fine. Where's Manny?" I asked.
"She's reapplying her makeup for the millionth time since she came to school for you. And we've only been here 10 minutes," Alli said, smiling at me again.
"Oh. Ok," I said, just as Manny approached me.
"Hey sweetie!" she said, in her usually childish voice, which BOTHERS me SO much!
"Hey Manny," I said.
I decided it was time to give Alli a dose of her own medicine. I grabbed Manny by her waist, and pulled her close. So close I could smell her hair and probably tell you what kind of shampoo she had used. And I kissed her. And not just a peck kiss like Alli had given Jimmy. It was a full on make out kiss.
"Will you be paying for your honeymoon suite with cash or check?" said Alli, laughing.
"Hey Alli. How bout we skip first period and you and me go chill out in the courtyard?" Jimmy asked, hopefully.
Alli looked at me. I had stopped kissing Manny, and was waiting for Alli's response. She scrunched her nose together, like she had when Jimmy asked her out to the dot. I think she wanted to say no. I couldn't imagine why, though.
"Um. Sure Jimmy," she said. I could sense the reluctancy in her voice.

Alli
God, Spinner is so cute. Why did I mess it up with him? I have known him for a day and I already screwed up any chances I had with him. Oh well, Jimmy is a sweetie. And he is very cute. Who knows, I might just get over Spinner. But how am I supposed to get over him if all I can think about is his deep voice. His cute smile. His golden locks. HIM!
"Hello..?" Jimmy said, waving his hand in front of my face.
"What? Oh geez Sorry Jimmy," I said.
"What do you want to do during first period?" he asked me
I glanced over. Spinner was gone. Good then I didn't have to skip. I just wanted Spinner to think that we were going to go make out. Well, even though Spinner is in my first hour, I'm just going to tell him that we decided not to skip.
"Jimmy, maybe skipping isn't such a good idea," I said.
"Okay. Maybe some other time. Listen, sorry babe, but I gotta get to class. I'm on the other side of the school."
"That's okay sweetie. I'll see you at lunch."
He kissed me on the lips and said, "K. See you then."
I watched him walk away. I wanted to smile, but all I could manage was a frown. How could I keep playing him like this? I do like him. I do. But, I do like Spinner more. And the only reason I'm with Jimmy is because I want to get Spinner jealous. AGH!
I walked to first hour. All of the seats were taken. AH, we have a sub, I observed. The only seat open was a seat next to Spinner.
The bell rang. The sub walked in and said "Hello class. I don't care what you do today. We are just going to do a worksheet, and I could care less if you do it or not. Have fun. I'm just here to supervise. Just keep your noise to a minimum."
Dang. Sweet sub.
Spinner turned to face me. "So Alli."
"So GAVIN."
"I'm sorry about yesterday. You can call me Spinner. I was just, mad, about something."
"And what was that?"
"Nothing."
"Oh okay."
"So, You and Jimmy huh?" he said.
