I got out of the locker room I first looked around no one was there at the court . As I was moving I spotted someone she was wearing the cheerleaders uniform . I came closer only to see Jenny seated there deep in her thoughts . I think she was waiting for me .
" Hey " I said going to sit next to her.
I somehow startled her she turned to me . After noticing that it was me she rolled her eyes and stood up to leave .
" Jenny please wait " I said in the humblest voice I could find in me .
" What you ditched me to go and see you crush notso " she stated in a cold voice .
" How did you know that ? " I asked her in surprise.
" It doesn't matter " she said and started to walk away . I wasn't gonna let her off this time I had already tried everything .
I ran to her and grabbed her hand .
" Jenny please I had a bad day... " I said
" I don't wanna hear it " she said and pulled her arm from my grip . Damn I didn't know apologising to a girl is so heard . I came up with a another solution.
" Okay give me only two minutes " I pleaded to her.
She put her arms in the waist once again she looked like a super model .
" Okay the clock is the ticking " she said in a commanding tone but still looked mad .
I passed my hand through my hair through my bag and aside and picked up a basketball . she looked at me confused.
" If I shoot this ball and I score from the other half of the court will you forgive me " I said to her .
" I don't see how that...." she paused then gave me an evil smirk "... actually that is a great idea " she smirked at me .
I ran to the other side of the court .
I took the first shot , I missed so badly . she laughed and sent me the ball since she was on the other side of the court . I took the second one , this one was worse than the last one . The fourth , fifth , sixth all in vain . she laughed again " just give up , you can't " she said . I ignored her and continued trying .
After a lot of shots which I all missed I was tired but kept on shooting .
" Alright alright I forgive you " she said as she saw I wasn't going to give up .
" Really " hearing this I felt happy and rushed where she was standing , I threw my arms around her in a tight hug .
She was surprised by my act she hesitated to hug me back , she patted my back a little .
" Oook " she said pushing me from the hug gently .
I felt a bit embarrassed by what I had done and wished I could take it back .
There was an awkward silence for some seconds as we kept on staring at each other then we look away
" So are you going to the party " I said breaking the awkward moment .
" Not really " she said picking up her stuff .
I also picked up mine " why not ? " as we moved .
" I just don't feel like it " she stated .
" If you don't go I won't go " I said to her in a childish voice .
" Please go the team won because of you " she said touching my shoulder .
I looked at her hand on my shoulder and she quickly withdrew it and faced down . I didn't know why she withdrew her hand two months ago we would touch each other always who knows girls are confusing .
" Please come it will be boring without you " I tried to convince her .
" Tess will be there " she said and looked at me with a smile .
" Exactly , who will tell me what move to take... remember you are my love coach " I said to her .
" I guess you are right " she paused " You can't take a move on your own...you even told her you liked her before the right time " she said . I was shocked by this statement I first stopped moving.
" Who told you that ? " I said .
" Tess " she replied calmly .
" What ...why " I said still confused.
" I'm her closest friend now that Amanda spends a lot of time with Jerome....she tells me everything " she said calmly .
I didn't have anything to say .
" Don't worry I will come to the party " she said as we got out of the gate .
We got a cab and it dropped at in our neighborhood as usual . Through out the whole drive I was silent .
" Why are you so sad now ? " she asked me as we moved out of the cab . We had gotten used to that stuff of couples are taken for less money .
" Nah I'm not sad " I said to her.
" Pick me up at 7:15 I will be ready " she said .
" Yeah I will " I said to her .
We reached her house .
" Don't ditch me again " she said then smiled and entered inside . I saw her mother looking through the window , I just moved along and went to my house .
I entered inside but there was no sign of mom .
I put my bag aside .
" Mom I'm back " I said .
No one replied .
" Mom " I said again as I went to the kitchen .
" Mom " as I knocked on her room
No answer
I went to the guest room , she wasn't there also .
I went to my room looked around no she sign of her , I was becoming worried . I saw a cheat which was stuck on the study table in my room.
I picked it up and it read ,
Welcome back Troy , Hope school was fyn .
Don't worry about me I've gone out with a friend will be back at 11:00 or probably midnight don't wait stay up waiting for me . Food is in the freezer .In case of any problem just call me .... Love you son .
After finishing to read it I was a bit down .
" You could have called or texted " I said to myself .
I looked at the time , it was now 5:00 I had to pick up Jenny at 7:00. so I still had time .
I first went and took a shower since I was so exhausted .
After the shower I went down and got food mom had kept for me .
I ate the food it was pretty lonely but anyway I had no option .the only thing left was the party and to pick up Jenny .
