Today's been going by so damn slow, I thought to myself as my art teacher was giving us directions for our first project. It's still only my first class and it feels like I've been in the class forever so when the bell finally rang I ran out of that class. My net class was exactly the same as my first class, it felt like it was taking forever and when it finished I couldn't be happier.
May and I walked to the gym and went into the locker room to change into our Phys. Ed. clothes. When we got dressed we went to sit at the bleachers and waited until the teacher told us what we were doing. Once everyone was out of the locker rooms the teacher took role and began speaking.
"So as we all know, Homecoming week is coming up and a major part of it is the girls powderpuff and the boys volleyball games. Due to that, this week we're going to practice volleyball and next week we're going to practice football. So with that said team up with one other person and go to a net and there you will play against two other people. It will be boys against girls." As he said that I looked over at Drew. We'd finally be able to play a game to break our tie we've had since summer.
Everyone teamed up and went to a net. I of course teamed up with May and saw that Drew teamed up with Ash. I was confused but realized that Gary wasn't in the class today.
"Wasn't Gary here today?" I asked May.
"Yeah but I heard he left early." She explained.
We walked towards a net at the end of the gym and Drew and Ash followed.
"Ready to lose?" I asked them as they approached the net.
"Please I've beaten you many times before why would I lose now?" Drew responded.
"Winner, wins and breaks the tie. And the loser's, that means both of you, has to buy the winners lunch. Deal?" I suggested. They looked at each other and nodded.
"Deal." They said in unison. We shook hands to seal the deal and began playing.
We kept tying so we lost the lead as much as we gained the lead. In the end I spiked the ball earning us a point right before the teacher told us to stop.
May and I cheered in victory as Drew and Ash rolled their eyes.
"Damn Ketchum, who would've known you were good at volleyball." I stated as we began walking towards the locker rooms.
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me Dawn." He said with a wink as he walked into the guys locker room.
I changed back into my clothes that consisted of a white long sleeve shirt, denim skinny jeans and a black leather jacket. May changed into some gray leggings with black combat boots and a black T-shirt from a volleyball tournament. We headed back out to the bleachers to await for the bell to ring.
I was texting Leaf about how Ash and Drew had to buy May and I lunch because they lost when saw Ash walk out of the locker room and damn he looked good. He had a white Nike jacket on with a black shirt underneath and black ripped jeans with white high top converse also his hair was messy but in a cute way. I made sure no one was looking and snapped a photo of him and sent it to Leaf.
Me: Damn I've never seen anyone look this good after Phys. Ed.
Leaf: Wow, his outfit is on point. But I think a snapback would complete the look.
Me: True true.
The bell rang soon after and May and I were walking to the door when Drew and Ash stopped us.
"Let's meet at the student parking lot before lunch and we can discuss our options for lunch there." Drew suggested. We all nodded in agreement and began walking to our next class.
I went to greet Mrs. Clark and asked if she needed me to help her with anything.
"Can you please hand these out?" She asked holding a stack of papers that looked like a review from Algebra 1.
"Yeah of course." I took the papers and began handing them out to everyone. When I finished, she began explaining that it was to see what they remembered from Algebra 1 and Geometry.
"Before you get started, does anyone have their signed syllabus?" She added. A lot of people including me pulled them out. I had to collect them and put a check mark next to their name on the role sheet to show that they turned it in. I took a majority of the class doing that because she had me do that for her previous classes, but she said if I did it all she'd let me do whatever I want for the rest of class. I decided to talk to Leaf about the dance team thing since I had nothing else to do.
Me: Okay, so my dance team coach asked if anyone could do a scorpion because she wants to do a dance for the homecoming game and I was the only 1 that was able to do it but since she needed 2 ppl I told her that you could do a scorpion and that you're coming down on homecoming week. Would you be willing to do it?
Leaf: YEAH OF COURSE!
Me: YAY!
After our conversation I saw there was only two minutes of class left so I packed everything up and once the bell rang I walked towards May's desk so we could walk to the parking lot together.
"Where do you want to go to lunch?" I asked her.
"I want Subway, you?"
"I'm really in the mood for Taco Bell, I honesty have had any in like forever." I stated as my stomach growled and we burst out laughing.
When we got to the parking lot we asked the boys where they wanted to go for lunch. Drew wanted Subway and Ash wanted Taco Bell. May and I looked at each other and laughed.
"Wow, I want Subway and Dawn wants Taco Bell." May stated.
"Well we can go to Subway and Ash and Dawn can go to Taco Bell." Drew suggested and we all nodded in agreement. May got in Drew's car and I followed Ash to his car. I got in and saw that he grabbed something from the back seat and when he sat in the drivers seat I saw that he had put on a white snapback and my eyes widened and I immediately texted Leaf.
Me: HE PUT ON A WHITE SNAPBACK AND HIS OUTFIT LOOKS SO GOOD NOW.
Leaf: WHAT OMG HE HAS STYLE!
Ash started to drive out of the student parking lot and a thought popped into my head.
"You're a good driver right? You're not gonna crash and kill me?" I asked.
"No. I mean I only failed my road test like eight times." He said nonchalantly. He looked over at me as my eyes widened and he laughed. "I'm kidding, I passed my road test the first time I took it so chill."
"Okay. Cause I'm too young to die." I said letting out a breathe of relief. "Can I put some music on?" I asked reaching for the aux cord before he even answered.
"Just promise you won't dance if Controlla comes on because I don't want to get a ticket." He said keeping his eyes on the road.
"No promises." I winked at him when he looked over at me.
Controlla didn't come on but a mashup of One Dance and Hasta el Amanescer did and I tried to resit the urge to sing along to it but I failed and ended up singing the entire time. Ash gave me a weird look but began laughing and soon he sang to part of it too. When the song finished we both burst out laughing.
"Can you actually speak Spanish or do you just know the song?" He asked as pulled into the Taco Bell drive-thru line.
"I can speak Spanish." I said.
"Cool. What do you want?" He looked at the menu.
"A steak quesadilla and a Baja Blast Freeze." He nodded and pulled up to order.
He ordered so much food, you'd think he'd be feeding a family of twelve. When we pulled up to pick up the order the worker looked surprised when he saw the food was only for two people.
"Are you really gonna eat all of that?" I asked as Ash handed me my food.
"Yeah. I eat a lot but I work out a lot so that makes up for it." He explained.
"Ohhh, makes sense I guess."
He drove to a park that's near the school and we ate at a table there.
Ash's POV
"Why'd your family move here?" I asked so I can get to know her better.
"My mom wants to open up a restaurant here." She answered. I was gonna ask 'what about your dad?' But I noticed she didn't mention anything about her dad so I decided to keep quiet.
"Does she make really good food?" I asked. Dawn laughed.
"Is food all you care about?" She asked mockingly.
"Not all the time."
"But most of time?"
"Yeah." I answered.
"She does make amazing food. She'll probably take something over when we have dinner at your place tomorrow." She explained.
I was about to speak when I got a call from Gary.
"Yo." I answered.
"Hey, where are you?" He asked.
"At the park. Why what's up?"
"I just got back to school from my dentist appointment and I heard Serena throwing a fit about how you went to lunch with the new girl instead of her."
"Fuck. Why can't she get it through her head that we're not dating?" I said annoyed.
"I don't know man. Why'd you go to lunch with Dawn anyways?" He asked. I stood up and walked away from the table.
"Because we had to play volleyball today in Phys. Ed. and since we lost, Drew and I had to buy Dawn and May lunch." I explained.
"Then if you went with two other people why is Serena mad?"
"I just went with Dawn because we both wanted Taco Bell and Drew and May wanted Subway so we went separate."
"Oh, now that makes more sense." He said. I looked at the time and we needed to get back to school.
"I've got to go I'll talk to you later. Bye."
"See you later man." He said goodbye and I hung up.
I walked back towards the table and told Dawn we should leave, she nodded and we got back in the car.
"What was that call about?" She asked still drinking her freeze.
"Nothing really. Serena's just making a big deal about me taking you to lunch." I looked at her out of the corner of my eye and she rolled her eyes.
"Why doesn't she like me? I really don't understand."
"It's cause you're prettier than her." I told her the told her the truth. She blushed and looked out the window. We got back to the school and saw that May and Drew just got their too. I took my snapback off since we're not allowed to wear hats inside.
Dawns POV
I walked over to May and Drew to talk to them and saw that Ash walked over to Gary.
"Hey, we have two more classes after this right?" I asked.
"Yup, yesterday we only had one because we went home early." May explained as the bell rang. "Oh hey, I was gonna ask if I could go to your house after school since my parents and brother went out of town."
"Yeah of course. I'll see you after school then." I said walking away.
"Bye, I'll see you later." I heard Drew say.
We walked to Woodshop and everyone was assigned a work space and I was put next to Misty, Ash and Drew.
"Hey I'm Dawn." I introduced myself to Misty.
"Hey, you're the new varsity volleyball captain aren't you? Oh, I'm Misty by the way."
"No, not that I know of. I don't think the team captain was chosen yet." I said confused.
"Well there was a list next to the main office that had the captains on there. You were the varsity volleyball one and Ash was on the list as the varsity football captain."
"Oh really? That's so cool." I excitedly said.
"Are you going to play any other sports?" She asked.
"I might play basketball and lacrosse. Oh and I'm doing dance team"
"Cool, me too, but I'm doing cheer instead of dance team because they do intense stuff." She said making me laugh.
The teacher explained to has what we're gonna do as our first project and it seemed pretty easy. Only the people that turned their syllabus in were able to start and only one person didn't turn it in.
We worked the entire class period and it actually went by pretty fast. I had pre-calculus next and I love math so I was excited. Misty gave me her phone number so we could text but we found out we have the same class next as well. When the bell rang I walked with her and Drew to my next class.
"The teacher is really chill, he'll let us sit wherever we want." Misty said as we walked into the class room.
Misty, Drew and I sat near the back and we talked for a bit. Right before the bell rang I saw someone walk in, I recognized him as the guy with purple hair that was in the picture Leaf showed me from Ash's Instagram. He sat next to Misty since that was the only empty seat. I saw her blush a bit when he walked in and she blushed even more when he sat next to her.
We spent the entire class reading the syllabus and we worked on part of a review that was gonna be homework.
Drew and I walked to our cars and met up with May. Drew had practice right after school so he stayed at the school. May and I drove to my house singing along to every song that come on the radio. It reminded me of when Leaf and I would go on road trips. I hope that when Leaf and May meet they become best friends cause the adventures we can have would be amazing.
We got a call that volleyball practice was cancelled because the coach had to go out of town because of a family emergency.
"Hey mom, this is May, my friend." I introduced her to my mom.
"Hi, its nice to meet you I'm Johanna." She waved.
"Its nice to meet you too." May waved back.
"Can she stay the night? Her parents are out of town." I asked hopefully.
"Yeah of course." My mom said smiling. "I'll prepare another plate for dinner when you guys get back from practice."
"Practice volleyball was cancelled today." I told her.
"Oh well I'll have dinner done when Drew gets home from practice." She let us know. We nodded and went upstairs.
We were watching Gossip Girl when Leaf tried to face time me on my computer.
"You should answer it." I told May. "Confuse her."
She nodded and went to answer it.
"Um who is this?" I heard Leaf ask confused.
"Hola, perdon, no hablo ingles. (Hello, I'm sorry, I don't speak English.)" May said in Spanish.
"Um, con quien ablo? (Who am I speaking with?)" Leaf asked fluently in Spanish.
"Uh, I don't speak Spanish, I don't understand you." May said and I burst out laughing when I saw Leaf glare at her through the screen.
"Dawn, I hear you laughing in the background!" Leaf said. I showed my face and smiled.
"What's up Leaf?" I asked.
May, Leaf and I talked for a while until my mom called us down for dinner after Drew took a shower. May was amazed at my moms cooking. After we ate dinner we watched a bit more Gossip Girl episodes and decided to go to sleep. Today was actually a pretty good day in my opinion.
Hey, please leave a review ily. :)
