Yeah? So how was everybody's Thanksgiving? If you ask me, mine totally blew. Well here is the update!
Dance class went by fast. We didn't do anything yet and it was totally boring. I hope that we actually do something soon… you know, fun.
Rachel and I met up with Abby in the quad. The quad is where everyone hangs out. Well, all the cool people. Ha. Anyways, so we met up with her.
As we were walking down we passed some girls from the soccer team. "Did you make it?" One of them asked us. Her name was Trisha. She was really cool. She was a kick ass goalie. We both nodded, "Varsity right?" She asked
Once again, we both nodded. "Awesome. See you guys after school." She smiled a goodbye at us and continued on her way
We finally found Abby, "Damn, this school is soo much bigger than middle school." Abby said hugging us
I nodded. "Um yeah! But have you seen the guys?" Rachel smiled big
"Um yeahh! Can you say hot?" I swear my friends are so immature. I smile to myself because I know im the same way. But on the inside. And not about boys. I listen to my friends talk about the guys that go here.
"Hey there Baby." I hear from behind me
I smiled as I turned around, "Hey there Sexy." I chuckle and hugged her
"Ok what the hell is up with the nicknames?" Ah, Madison is here with no morning coffee. I smiled at her and gave her a hug too
I glance over at Abby and she raised her eyebrows at me. I ignored it and looked back over at Ashley and Madison, "So um, you made it right?" I asked Madison
"Girl, do you ever listen?" She said and laughed along with Rachel
I looked over at Ashley. Well no wonder I don't listen when you're with your best friend. She's wearing a short denim skirt and a really cute baby blue top. Her hair is down and frames her face perfectly. "Spencerrr?" Rachel said
I looked at her and turned completely red. Rachel and Madison laughed. I smiled shyly as I looked over at Ashley. She smiled back at me and I looked over at Abby. She grabbed my arm and pulled me aside real quick, "Hey um, do you want to talk about… something?" She asked
I looked at her. Now is so not the time to tell her that im gay and I have a huge crush on Ashley. I shake my head, "Im just thinking…" I say
"About?" She says. I study her for a second. I can tell that she wants to know what's going on with me.
"Stuff." I smile
"You know—" She started but then the bell rang
"Abs, im fine. Promise." I say and I give her a reassuring smile. I really hope that she can't see that this smile is really fake. But im sure she can. You know, how it is. Your first true best friend can really only read you. They know you better than you know yourself. I swear that's the vibe im getting from her.
We walk back over to Ashley, Madison, and Rachel. "Alright, well I have to go to class." Madison said and walked off
"Yeah I really don't want to be late. Abby, you're going that way right?" Rachel said pointing in a direction
Abby nodded and they said goodbye and left. It was just Ashley and I. "So um, I guess im going to go to class." I say quietly
"We're going in the same direction." She smiled at me and we started to walk
It was silent for a few seconds until Ashley said something, "So um, about earlier." She says
I keep staring at the ground. I really hope she doesn't ask me anything. "What was that about?" She asks
"Um, what do you mean?" I say playing stupid
I hear her laugh a little, "Come on Spence, we all saw it." She says, "Well I mean I know I saw it." She adds quietly
I look over at her, "I was just you know, admiring your really cute outfit." I smile at her. Good save Carlin. Good save. Kudos to myself.
"Oh." She says, "Anyways, um… what's the rest of your schedule?" She asks me
We stopped in front of my next class. I pull of the sheet of paper and hand it too her. I watch as she reads it over. A smile came across her face as she hands the paper back to me, "We have math together." She tells me
"So you're still in Algebra I?" I laugh a little as she starts to slowly walk to her class
She smiled at me, "Hey, I may be pretty, but im not all that smart. You know, I've been hit in the head a few too many times with a soccer ball, my friend." She laughed and waved a goodbye at me
She is something I tell ya. I sigh as I take the one last few empty seats left. I look around the room and I notice that I don't know anyone in this class. Finally a girl sits down next to me. Her name is Kayla. She plays left forward. I wonder if she's the other freshmen who made it on the team.
That class went by faster than my last 2 classes. Me and Kayla talked throughout the whole period. I found out that she did make the varsity team as the left forward. Me as the right.
Ashley waited for me outside her classroom. Turns out it was the last room on the hallway. Mine was the first. I smile as I walk up beside her. It was silent again but not an awkward silent.
We walked into the classroom to find Abby already in the back of the room flirting with some upperclassman guy. We sit down next to her. I sit behind her and then Ashley sits on the right of me next to the window. She turns to us, "Oh, hey." She says to us
I smile, "Abby this is Ashley. Ash, Abby." I introduce them
"Yeah we know each other already. We have first period Art together." Abby tells me
"Oh. You take art?" I turn to Ashley
She smiles at me. The teacher starts to talk, "Ok well I like to start off the school year with some nice easy math." He smiles at the class and writes a problem on the board. (This isn't the exact problem… but it's a problem that's in Alg I.) x-2414x+19
Easy. Piece of cake I tell ya. A few minutes passed and he was looking down the roll sheet. "Ok, um let's have… hmm…. Spencer Carlin? Come up to the board please." Ughhhh. You've got to be kidding me. He looks at the guys in the class and I stand up
"Oww!" Some dude said and I rolled my eyes. Typical.
"Miss, sit down—" Mr. York says but I cut him off
"Im Spencer." I say picking up a red dry erase marker and doing the problem in a matter of seconds. "Answer is -3.3" I say placing the cap back on the pen and taking my seat
"Wow, nerd much?" Ashley smiled
"Shut up." I smiled back at her
That classed went by faster than I thought it would. It sucks because we already have homework on the first day back to school. It's only a worksheet, so that's cool.
Lunch went by too fast and the last two classes went by slow. But it was all good, no homework in any but math. I think math is going to be my favorite class this year.
I stood next to Rachel as we changed into our practice uniforms. "So hey, are you pissed off at Luke or what?" She asked me as I sat down on the bench to tie my cleats.
I look up at her, "Huh? Why?" I ask
"Cause he came up to me today asking what crawled up your butt." She laughed
I roll my eyes and stand up, "Im not mad at him. But I am going to break up with him… soon." I tell her
"What?! Why?!" She exclaimed, "You two are so cute together!" Just then Ashley walked in
"No we aren't. Now shut up." I tell her picking up my bag and ready to leave
"Yes you were and for real, what did crawl—" I send her a evil look, "Ok ok. Nothing crawled up your butt. Your butt is crawl free." I laugh
"Rach, you are such a loser." I say walking out of the locker room with her behind me. "And stop talking about my butt like that."
We get over to the field and we sit down. Most of the girls were already here. I wonder what we're going to be doing for the first day. A few minutes passed and my phone started to ring. I didn't bother to look at the caller ID. Which I should have, because Luke was calling me. "Hello?" I say into the phone
"Hey babe. Bout time you found your phone." He said
"When did I lose—oh yeah… it was pretty hard to find." I roll my eyes
"So um, did you get the stick outta your butt?" He asked me
Ugh! "What the hell Luke? I don't have anything in my butt!" Rachel laughed next to me
I look over at her and Ashley and Madison were sitting next to her. They looked at me funny and Rachel told them what was going on. "Are you sure? Or is it… you know… that time." He says
Oh. My. God. What kind of guy freaking asks their girlfriend that? "What? No." I say pissed off. I close my phone and throw it into my bag. I turn to Rachel, "Now I have something up my butt." I say with a slight smile as Rachel laughs again. I get up and walk over to the water table to get a drink of water
"Hey is… um… everything alright?" Damn it Ashley. Does it look like everything is alright?
"Yeah, fine. Peachy." I say letting some water fall into the cup. I know that she could tell by the way I said that, that I was mad.
"Ok ok." She says and turns to walk away
"Wait." I say which makes her turn around again to face me. She crosses her arm over her chest. "Sorry. It's just… ugh, I hate boys." I make her smile
"Ha, you could always just turn into a lesbian and forget them completely." She laughs
Ha! Im already half way there. "Yeah true true. But then I'd have to go through all the trouble of finding a girlfriend." I say with a smile
She just truly made my mood better. How? I do not know. "Well you wouldn't have to look far." She said with a wink
I laugh and we walk back over to Madison and Rachel. Chelsea joined the group. "Hey guys." Chelsea greets us as we sit down next to her
A couple of minutes passed before we started practice. We started off with a half mile run. At least it wasn't a 6 mile run. Then we split into groups and worked on different things. There were 4 stations. 1 was kicking. 2 was running and kicking. 3 were passing. And 4 were just running.
I was put into a group with Chelsea and Trisha and some other girls who aren't all that important right now. We were stationed to station 1. I paired up with Chelsea and Trisha paired up with the senior bitch, Cindy. She my friend has something jammed up her butt so far and it ain't ever coming out.
Chelsea was really good. I never really practiced with her. I only ever really practiced with Rachel.
The practice went by fast for the first day. The four stations took up most of the time because there were about 20 girls on the team.
We all went back to the locker room after the coach talked to us. "Ugh, that practice was soo boring." Rachel whined
I rolled my eyes. Im really getting tried of her whining. I walked into the aisle we change in and I grabbed my bag and threw my cleats in it. I put on my shoes that I wore to school and slung my bag over my shoulder. "Hey I gotta run now. I'll see ya tomorrow." I smile a goodbye at Rachel and walk out to the front of the school to see my mom already waiting for me.
Earlier that day, she called me and left me a message telling me that she was picking me up at 5:30. So I already knew that I didn't have time to change. I have no clue where we are going though. But apparently we're in a rush.
"Mom, where are we going?" I asked her trying to find a decent radio station
"We are going to visit Grandma." She tells me
I look at her, "Why?" I ask. My grandma hates me. I think she knows im gay too. But I have no clue. She's hated me ever since I was little. I wonder why a lot of the times.
"Because she needs to be visited sometime you know." My mom tells me like I should have known that already
"But Grandma hates me." I tell her still staring at her
My mom glances over at me, "Yeah I know—" I cut her off
"Why does she hate me, mom?" I ask her
"Um well, I think she thinks you're…" She looks over at me, "gay." She tells me
My jaw tightens. What is wrong with this family? I don't say anything but I know I should because my mom might ask me if I am and im not ready to tell her. I cross my fingers, "But im not." I say really quietly uncrossing my fingers
"I know sweetie. Grandma… just worries, that's all. And she's really sick." She tells me. She honks the horn and cusses at the idiot who just cut us off. They should know to never anger this woman.
I turn and look out of the window. I wonder what Ashley is doing right now.
Alrightly, well that chapter was boring. Lol. Um, the next one will have drama in it.
