"The next match will be Gary 'Squib' Furlong against John Larson." Cody was running to court 3 as she heard the announcement. Since she had previously told Squib that she would be there, she knew she couldn't miss it.
Squib was looking around anxiously. He desperately needed to break out of his slump, and so far he had no cheering section. All of a sudden, he spotted Cody sitting in the bleachers. She was out of breath. "She must have ran here," he though to himself.
Cody smiled and waved when she noticed Squib staring at her. Squib waved back. He stepped out onto the court, and got his match underway.
"Game, set, match, Gary Furlong," rang from the intercom. Squib let out a sigh of relief. He had completely obliterated his opponent today. He was happy that Cody had seen him have a good game.
"Impressive match"
"Hey, thanks Cody. Did you get any good photos?"
"I'll look through them later. Although I do think that there were some keepers today." Cody smiled at him.
"Awesome. So, are you free this weekend?" Squib asked with excitement.
"Yeah, I did all of my homework last night, and I can always develop these pictures later.
"Cool, we were all thinking about going to a movie in town, it'd be more fun if you came I bet."
"Were you just flirting with me?" Cody asked, eyeing him suspiciously.
"No, umm uh… well…" Squib was obviously flustered.
"I'd love to go to the movie with all of you," Cody answered, cutting off the bumbling Squib.
"Sounds good…well I'm going to go and shower and stuff. I'll see you all at lunch."
"Definitely. Well I'm going to go and find Tanis. I haven't really talked to her much this year…"
"Ok, bye." Squib waved, turned around, and left.
"Wow, he's in a good mood," Cody thought to herself. A movie did sound like fun, and she was enjoying spending more time with her friends again. Even Squib. Things weren't too awkward around him anymore. She left, in hope of finding Tanis.
"Hey Cameron!" Adena greeted him, as she took a seat beside him.
"Oh hey Adena. I haven't really seen you around this year.
"Oh, you know, practicing extra hard this year. How about you?"
"Yeah, I need to keep my ranking up if I really want to stay in Cascadia…well that's what my dad said anyways."
"Oh…well that sucks. Anyways, we were all thinking of going to a movie or something this weekend. Do you want to come?" Adena asked hoping that he'd say yes.
"Yeah sure, I haven't been to a movie in a while."
"Alright, we're all meeting in the open at 6 to leave."
"Alright, I'll meet you there."
As they were confirming their plans, Cody and Tanis arrived, and took their usual seats.
"Hey guys what's up?" asked Cody.
"I was just about to go and finish up my homework. But I'll see you all at the movie, alright?"
"Ok, bye Cam," Tanis waved goodbye as Cameron made his exit.
"So where were you two?" asked Adena suspiciously.
"We were just catching up. We've hardly seen each other this year," answered Tanis.
"Oh, so in other words boy talk?"
"No, not yet anyways," replied Cody, blushing.
"I have a sixth sense about these things. I can tell that you have boys on your mind."
"Alright just a few things. One: what ever happened to Nate? And number two: Squibs been really nice lately, is it weird that it's freaking me out.
"Nate went back to live with his mom," Tanis replied.
"And Squibs just in a good mood because he won his match, and he's hanging out with you again," replied Adena. "I don't think that you should feel bad about that."
"I umm actually forgot, I have to do something. I'll see you guys later," said Cody as she quickly left.
Nate's gone? How could she not have known? They were always good friends, and a little bit more she thought. But she just wanted to be friends with him anyways. Now she wouldn't see him at all. It'd be weird to have no other non tennis players in the school. Cody decided that she had to be alone and gather her thoughts.
"Hey man," Cameron said as he entered his room.
"Hey," Squib replied.
"So are you going to that movie thing?"
"Yeah, I think I'll go."
"Sounds good, well I'm going to finish my homework, then I'll meet you all down in the open for the movie."
"Sounds good," Squib said as he left the room.
Everyone met in the open, ready to leave for the movie,
"So what are we even seeing?" asked Cody.
"Saw 3!" Cam and Squib cried in unison.
"Aughh! But I hate horrors." Tanis complained.
"Please"
"Arg, fine!"
"Score!" The two boys high fived
The group walked to the theatre, bought their tickets and some popcorn and took their seats. Cam was sitting in between Adena and Tanis. And Squib and Cody were sitting next to each other.
As the movie went on, the girls would randomly scream and cling onto the guys. When someone was grusomly killed, Cody jumped and hung onto Squibs arm. She didn't notice but Squib sure did. Cody clinged onto Squib for the rest of the movie.
"Some show eh Cam?" asked Squib.
"Yeah, you guys should have seen yourselves," said Cam referring to the girls and he began imitating their screams.
"Shut up," Tanis said smacking his arm in disapproval.
They all walked back to Cascadia quickly, hoping that they wouldn't be getting back to late.
"I'll see you guys later," Cody said as she turned to leave.
"Wait Cody… I'll walk you back said Squib.
The two left the group, and began walking back to Cody's place.
"Look, Cody, thanks for being at my game. It really seemed to help my playing."
"Hey, what are friends for?"
Squib leaned in and kissed Cody. Cody was startled at first, but she had secretly been wishing Squib still had feelings for her. She returned the kiss to him.
"So, does this mean that you umm…" Squib trailed off.
"Yeah, yes it does." Cody cut him off, blushing, although you couldn't tell in the moonlight.
"Alright…so I'll see you later?"
"Yeah." Cody leaned in for another kiss.
Squib kissed her again, and then returned to his dorm, smiling the whole way.
Alright there's the third chapter. Yes, they kissed. I didn't really know how to go about it, so I made it kind of random. Please, someone give me a review, some info anything!
