ONE MONTH LATER
JT and Taren laughed,the sound ringing through the hallways.School had let out,and he had decided to watch Taren's field hockey practice.But for now,they were enjoying themselves.
"Oh my gosh!" Taren gasped between laughs,"I can't believe the principle wears a toupe!"
"I know! That was hilarious!"he leaned over,clutching his stomach,"I can't either!I mean,who would've thought?"
"He was right in the middle of lecturing us about rumors..."
"And his wig falls so the side!" He finished,setting them off into a new round of laughter.
Taren leaned up against a locker."W-whoever says that 11th graders can't be serious,should seriouslyneversee us." she giggled.
His thick hair tousled wildly as he nodded his head."True. "
Taren shut her eyes.She couldn't remember the last time she'd laughed so hard.Probably because that time was never.She glanced at her watch,and her eyes widened.
"I gotta hurry.I'm gonna be late!" she exclaimed. She made a mad dash for the locker rooms,and quickly changed.In record time,too: 1 and a half minutes!
She walked back into the hallway where JT was panting."Field hockey my butt!"he breathed,"you should join track,and you know it!"
She laughed,and they headed outside towards the the center of the gym,where practice was being held. JT sat on the blachers and watched as she ran up,grabbed a hockey stick,and got in her position.
After about five minutes,the girls were all running around,hitting the puck with such harshness,he actually felt sorry for it. He watched as a redheaded girl passed the puck to Taren,who smacked it hard towards the goal,making a point.
She's really good. he couldn't help think,It must be hard for them to run around in short skirts...but hey,I'm not complaining.. he smirked to himself as a blonde girl jumped,sending her skirt flying.He was only slightly disappointed to see that they wore shorts underneath the blue and gold uniforms.Hey,you win some,you lose some.
oooooooooooooooooo
"So...?"Taren asked expectantly,"how'd I do?"
"You were very..."he groped for the right word..."eh...aggresive. What'd that poor puck ever do to you girls?" he poked her in the arm.
It sent jolts up her arm.She knew he didn't like her in that way,though.And if he did,he didn't show it at all.And the fact that Valentine's Day was in only a month,didn't make her feel much better.But still,being best friends made her content.And at least he didn't know she liked him.
"Why do they call 'field hockey'?"Taren pointed out,"we're not even on a field.All our games are in the school gyms.It's not like you can go on a field in January."
Jt laughed."Hey,I gotta go.I have a big report due tommorow,and I didn't even start yet."
Taren rolled her eyes,"Procrastinator."she muttered. She grinned at him before walking into the locker room to shower and change.
After she was fresh again,she put on her coat,and walked through the hall,about to leave for home.
"Hey,"a voice said.
She turned around and saw a blonde girl wearing low rising hip huggers and a midriff tee.She had this look that just screamed "Attitude".
"Hi." Taren blinked."Um...who are you?"
The girl let out a loud laugh,"I'm Paige. You must be Taren."
She nodded slowly."How'd you know?"
"It's only all over school.You and JT are ,like,best friends.Right?" she smiled.
"Yeah." Taren let loose with a grin of her own.
"So you two must be pretty close,huh?"
"Well...I guess so." she could've sworn she saw a flash of anger run across Paige's face.But then,"field" hockey practices did leave her exhausted.She let out a yawn.
"Tired?" Paige raised an eyebrow. Taren simply nodded.
"Those hockey practices are pretty tough." she replied.
Paige took Tarens hand and scribbled something on it.
"This is my number."she instructed,"Call me.We'll talk.Ok?"she smiled brightly.
Taren nodded,and managed to return the smile."Ok. Bye." she turned and walked out of the building. She'd have to ask her friends about Paige.She seemed a little odd.But then,Hockey practice did that to her.
