Don't Get Hooked On Me

My Note:Sorry it's taken me so long to update this, but i have been busy with school, work and everything else that has happened. This isn't all of it so I will edit it here in the next few days. I just wanted you guys to have something to read. And once I again I only own the things you don't recongize from the Movie so please don't take them.

"Well, that didn't go so bad after all." Athena thought herself as she walked down the front steps of the school.

She had some of her classes with the guys, which wasn't so bad. Some of them even skipped their advising period to eat with her at lunch, which was mainly Blue, and Louie. The others would just happen to walk by the cafeteria. She finally had to explain to Duke that they were just going to be friends he acted like he understood, but there was something in the way he acted that told her, she needed to keep her guard up just in case. Why is it that even with everyone around me, I still feel alone? She kept asking herself that over and over.

Once the final bell rang she started to walk down to the field but she remembered that with her run in with Ray that wasn't going to happen. "So much for being with the guys." She thought to herself. She wanted so bad to be out there with Sheryl cheering them on but she was forced to sit under a tree with her books and just watch them. Every so often she would send one of them a wave when they would look up at her. From her viewpoint she could tell that there was something a miss with them because they were acting too much like a team. And any smart person would know that it was because of what happened with her and Ray. Which was understandable because it did tear the guys apart, especially Gerry and Ray. Hell they were friends since they were in diapers from she had heard. She couldn't help but watch the guys, watching them was almost like watching a ballet. She finally realized that she had avoided her algebra work long enough. Sighing she pulled out her book and paper a tried to get started but since math was not her strong subject she was having major problems with it. And her actions did not go unnoticed.

Gerry watched as Athena brushed a strand of hair out of her face again and again before finally putting her hair up in a bun with an extra pencil. In the few weeks she had been there Athena had caused some upsets. Not only in the way she acted which was totally something that the town had never seen but even with the team.

Since she was so different that had caused some of the other members to have their secret crushes. Gerry even had to admit that he felt something for her as well. Even though Julius was right he did have Emma but she wasn't speaking to him right now so technically they weren't together. He finally realized that he needed to get back to work when a football hit him the back of the head curtsey of Sunshine. When he looked back over at Athena, she was looking at him with a smile on her face.

Gerry was not the only one who had felt something for Athena that was a more the friends kind of feel. Both Alan and Sunshine felt something for her as well, though they would never say anything since it was obvious that their captain liked her. Though neither was exactly willing to let it go. But that was understandable since Athena had thrown everyone off balance the day she had walked well fell into their lives. Not only was she quick witted but she was also very caring which was something most of the girls in the town did not have.

For Sunshine it was the fact that she reminded him so much of California, in the way she dressed and acted that it was like being at home with her where ever they were. For Alan it was the fact that she had that natural beauty going for her, she never had to cake on the make up, not that she wear any. And no matter what the problem was she would always try to help you fix it. But once again Gerry had beaten him into trying to get the girl. Something Gerry was good at and would always be good at. All three were brought out of their daydreams when Boone blew his whistle at them and finally made them run laps. While the other guys did their drills he couldn't but smile knowing the reason behind why the three were day dreaming.

Athena had finally had enough of everyone staring at her like she was some alien on display. She threw her books in her backpack and went to walk around town while she waited on Coach to finish with practice. She stopped at the dinner when she saw a sign saying that they needed part time help, and since she couldn't help Coach any more she had to occupy her time somehow. Taking a deep breath she walked in the door to see what she could get. Ten minutes later Athena had herself a part time job on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As she walked back to the field. She smiled to herself as she remembered Alan, Gerry, Sunshine and Big Ju coming up behind her while she was in the library. Apparently she had dozed off. She let out a loud yelp when they tipped her chair back from the table. Causing her to get a disappointing look from the librarian.

Settling back down underneath tree she felt amazed at how relaxed she felt. It was like a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. Everything seemed to be slower here; she didn't feel rushed at all. Unlike at home were everything seemed to move faster. And the guys made her feel safe and wanted. A fact that she now knew that she had people that really cared for her; made her life. She smiled as she thought of this but at the same time she felt homesick for her friends. She wondered what they were doing.

Misty was probably worried she hadn't come back at least to give her advice about her guy troubles. Eric was probably to busy with his girlfriend to even care. She let out a sigh as she looked up at the sky. After a few minutes she dozed off.

The guys walked up the hill to find Athena asleep on her algebra book. "Well, do you think we should wake her up?" Petey asked as he sat down beside her backpack.

"No, Petey we are just going to let her sleep the rest of the day away. Of course we are going to wake her man what is wrong with your head." Blue said as he came up the hill.

"Well, now that we know all that, how are we going to wake her up?" Petey asked before blowing into two blades of grass.

"Cause for all we know she could just get all pissed off and hit us all over the head." Louie said coming up behind Blue.

"Well, since you guys are to scared to do it, I'll do it myself then. It's not like I haven't been almost hit by her before." Sunshine said as he went over to wake her up.

He couldn't help but feel guilty for wanting to let her sleep just so he and the other guys could watch her sleep some more but that suddenly made him to much like a stalker. So he took a deep breath and gently shook Athena's shoulder.

"Hey, 'Thena gal your nap time is over time to wake up." He told her as he moved her shoulder.

Athena jumped with a start and not remembering that she had feel asleep outside sat up and said, " Yes, Coach Parker in the equation 4x+68, x2." Her mind slowly cleared and she could hear the laughter of the guys. She looked around and let out a groan.

"Oh, piss off you guys." She told them in a mumbled tone.

"Well, 'Thena gal. You have to realize that you aren't in your algebra class anymore. Though that was the correct answer." Rev told her with a smile.

She couldn't stay mad with Rev even if she tried. He was just too nice to even be mean to.

"Well, you know I had a good tutor. And you would know wouldn't you?" She asked him with a smile.

"Yes, I suppose I would." He replied with a smile and a wink.

Three of the guys standing there had to tried so hard not run over and tackle Rev for winking at her. Though they knew that she had no idea that they liked her as more than a friend.

Athena sent them all a smile before getting up and brushing herself off and saying, "Well, guys I have some good news, as of today I have a part time job working at Murphy's on Tuesday and Thursday nights. So let's go celebrate at Kay's Castle with some ice cream."
