A/N: Yeah, I don't own anything. Please read and review.
Over three hours later, John and Trish left the mall. John was carrying four bags full of Trish's stuff and a bag that had his new Boston Red Sox hat and black, white and red Dwayne Wade Miami Heat jersey inside. Once they reached John's car, he dropped off everything in the trunk of the car then opened the door for Trish to get inside. She smiled at him and got into his car as John walked around the car and went into the driver's side of the car. He entered the car, turned on the engine and rolled down all the windows again just as rap music began to play from the speakers again. As he changed gears, he glanced over at Trish.
"So where you want to go eat?" he asked.
"Hmm, I want to eat something that isn't too formal," she said, thinking for a second. "I know, let's go eat at Taco Bell."
John looked at Trish and shrugged. "Aight, if that's what ya wanna eat," he said, turning into the parking lot of a Taco Bell. He parked the car and they got out, walked into the restaurant then went to order their food from the person behind the counter.
"I can't even remember the last time I ate at Taco Bell," Trish said, taking a bite from her food.
"Hmm, this is different from eating burgers and stuff," John said.
"Wow, that was so obvious John," she said, giggling softly.
"I just wish the damn year would start," he said, finishing his burrito.
"Why? It means you have to go through classes and all that," she said, finishing her taco.
"Still, it's senior year and the teachers shouldn't be too hard since they know we're about to graduate soon and all that," he said.
"Yeah, but I heard Bischoff and Coachman are really hard teachers," she said.
"Well, if they want to be dicks and screw us over, then there's nothing we can really do other than to try and shit," he said.
"So John, where are you going for college?" she asked.
"I don't know for sure yet but I'm most likely going to Boston College," he said.
"Hey, that's where I want to go too!" she squealed.
"Oh man, this means I go to the school I want to go to, I'm going to be there with the girl I love and I'm gonna be a star football player there," he said.
Trish laughed lightly as they got up and left the restaurant. "John, keep dreaming and it may happen to you one of these days."
"Hey, I did get a scholarship from there," he said.
"Oh really? They want you that bad?" she asked.
"Of course they do. I'm a good player," he said.
Trish sighed as she got into his car. He joined her and over ten minutes later, he had pulled up in front of her house. She got out of the car and John helped her carry the bags to the front door. "Uh John, you could leave them here you know."
"Nah girl, let me carry them to your room," he said, going into the house with her bags as she opened the door for him. She led him up to her room and he placed the bags on the floor.
"I really had a good time tonight John," she said, grabbing his hand. "Maybe we should do this another time," she said, kissing him passionately.
John broke the kiss and looked into her eyes. "Yeah, we could definitely do this again," he said, giving her a small piece of paper. "Call me up," he said before leaving.
Trish smiled and waved as John left. She opened the paper and programmed his number into her phone. "I cannot believe he just did that," she said, just as her sister Melissa came in.
"Trish, who was that really hot guy you were with?" Melissa asked, sitting down on Trish's bed.
"Oh that was John," Trish said, putting some of her clothes in her closet.
"Are you two dating or something?" Melissa asked, curious.
"Uh, we're a couple now actually," Trish said.
"Oh wow, both of you look so cute together!" Melissa squealed.
John drove back to his house and went through the front door to his room. So far everything was perfect for him. He walked into his room and his phone began to ring. Looking down at the caller ID, he saw it was from Marc. "Yo what's good," he said, picking up.
"Yo John, just got back from your date with Trish?" Marc asked.
"Yeah bro, took her to the mall then went with her to eat at Taco Bell," John said.
Marc laughed on the other end of the phone. "Taco Bell? Dude that's not exactly the most romantic place you could have gone to," he said.
"Man, she wanted to go there not me dude," John replied.
"So um, you see any good hats at Lids?" Marc asked.
"Bro, you should check out the hat I just got man. I just picked up this really nice hat from Lids yo even though it was like 32 bucks," John said.
"Damn, that shit's expensive bro but it better be hot," Marc said.
"Dude, don't worry about it, this shit is tight," John said.
"Yeah, so wanna go with me after practice to the mall?" Marc asked.
"Whatever man I'll go, just let me drive this time," John said.
"Sure man, just give me a lift to practice tomorrow," Marc said.
"Get your ass in front of your house at 10:40," John said.
"Fine, I'll see you tomorrow then. Peace out John," Marc said.
"Aite, peace out man," John said, hanging up the phone.
John sighed, showered and got ready for bed. He woke up the next morning, got dressed, brushed his teeth then ate whatever was lying around downstairs for breakfast. After that, he grabbed his equipment, wallet, keys and cell phone then got into his car. Since he had the same mix CD in the car for several days, he changed the CD to another mix CD that featured Lil' Wayne, Camron, Lloyd Banks, Notorious BIG, Tupac Shakur, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, Young Buck and The Game. He opened the windows and raised the volume as Lil' Wayne's "Best Rapper Alive" played. John reached Marc's house and Marc got into the car.
"Yo what's good homie," John said, slapping hands with Marc.
"Damn Cena, you got good taste," Marc said, appreciating the music John was playing.
"Yeah man, check out the hat," John said, showing Marc the hat he had gotten yesterday.
"You're right man, that shit is hot," Marc said.
"I told you the shit was hot and you don't believe me," John said.
Marc shrugged as the song "Hands Up" by Lloyd Banks began to play. Since John and Marc both liked the song, Marc raised the volume until it was at the maximum. As John continued to drive toward practice, Marc noticed that a lot of people were staring at them as they went past. He shrugged as John pulled into the parking lot and parked near the entrance to the field. Several hours later, practice was over and Marc was taking a shower in the locker rooms along with John. Once Marc was done, he walked out and saw Matt and Dave had already left while John was still busy taking a shower. Marc got dressed and waited another five minutes for John.
"Bro, you ain't wearing a shirt?" Marc asked, following John.
"Hell no man, I'll put something on before we go inside the mall though," John said.
"Alright John, that's cool man," Marc said, as he and John got into the car.
"So what you gonna do after pickin' up your stuff?" John asked.
"We gonna go eat man," Marc said, looking at the clock.
John nodded and he pulled into the mall parking lot for the second time in two days. The mall was crowded and John had to park near the exit because that was the only place where he could find parking. He got out of the car along with Marc and they walked toward their entrance, John's wifebeater tank top stuffed into the back pocket of his jean shorts. As they walked, John realized that girls were staring at him as he passed by but he ignored them since he was with Trish. Once they were near the mall entrance, John took out his shirt and put it on. They then entered the mall and went into Lids, where Marc picked up a hat similar to John's.
"Alright man, see what CDs came out," Marc said.
"Marc, is that you?" another voice asked.
Marc and John turned around and saw Katie Jacobsen, one of the girls who was on the cheerleading squad. She had also known Marc for a while since they had been in several classes together and had gotten to know each other. John turned to look at Marc since he didn't know her as well as Marc did. With a sigh, John realized that Marc was too busy staring at Katie to realize she wanted to talk to him. But he didn't blame Marc though. Katie was wearing flip flops, shorts and a t-shirt that barely fit her. She was certainly beautiful and it was obvious to John that Marc had the hots for her. Glancing at Katie, John smacked Marc's head really hard.
"Damn John, what the hell was that for?" Marc asked, rubbing where John smacked.
"Dude, uh wake up man," John said, rolling his eyes.
Marc glared at John angrily then realized Katie was standing in front of both of them. "Oh Katie, I didn't expect to see you here."
"I didn't expect to see you guys here," she said, smiling at them.
John laughed and watched Marc blush. It was obvious his cousin was having problems talking to Katie. "Retard over here wanted to buy my hat."
"Katie, ignore John since he has the intelligence of a door knob. So would you like to follow us around as we check out the latest CDs then get something to eat?" Marc asked.
Katie laughed once Marc was finished. She wouldn't admit it but she had a really really huge crush on Marc ever since they met and he was giving her the chance to spend more time with him even though John was there. As she thought about his offer, she decided John already got the hint that she had a crush on Marc and he would leave them alone when needed. "Sure, I would love to join you guys around and do what you have to do."
Marc smiled and grabbed the bag she was holding. "Let me take that for you," he said, as John sniggered behind them. "John, shut it."
"So Marc, I saw you at Rob's party the other night," she said, causing John to laugh.
Marc angrily turned to John and gave him a look that clearly said shut up. "Oh yeah, that was a really crazy night for me."
"More like you completely passed out," John said.
"Yeah, you were really drunk that night," Katie said.
"Um, so yeah Katie, uh what kind of music do you listen to?" Marc asked, changing the topic as they entered a records store.
"Well, I don't really have a favorite since I listen to a lot of stuff but I mostly listen to rap, hip hop and rap. Sometimes I listen to some techno and pop," she said.
"Not bad," Marc said, browsing through the rap section. "There isn't really anything good that I didn't pick up before. Wanna check out the rock and pop stuff?" he asked Katie.
"Sure, I did want to get that new Taking Back Sunday CD," she said.
John left Marc and Katie alone as they went to look for the new Taking Back Sunday CD. He could tell both of them had something going on but both of them seemed reluctant to continue what they had. Sighing, John continued to browse through the rap section just as he noticed several of his friends from class enter- Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio. Both of them were Mexican and were part of a huge group of Hispanic students who hung out with each other. John had gotten to know them through a class where they all sat in the back and he became really good friends with them. He walked over to them and slapped hands with them.
"John man, what's good?" Rey said, staring at John.
"Nothin' much guys. What ya doin' here today?" John asked.
"Don't tell anyone holmes," Eddie said, showing John a bunch of stolen goods. Suddenly Rey and Eddie saw security coming toward them and they ran, leaving John behind.
A/N: Okay, this is my last update until next week because I'm leaving for vacation and I'll be gone for a week.
