I chuckled and walked to coach's office, he was sitting on his swivel chair.
"Wilbert." He called. He was used to calling me by my dad's name.
"You sent for me." I said with my hands in my pocket.
" Yes, I did. We just got an invite for a competition. As the team leader, I want you to organize the team and begin a serious practice." He said.
"But, I thought we are not accepting any competition this soon. What happened all of a sudden?"I asked.
"The offer was quite mouth watering." he said and I chuckled.
"As usual, ok I'm going to do as you've said. But I have to do something first."I said and made to leave.
"Girl trouble?"he asked and I turned back to him.
"Yeah, it's really a big deal." I said and he laughed.
"Of course. Alright, go to class already." he said and I nodded and walk back to class. I teased Kyle's cheeks before going to my seat. There was a teacher in the class. I shook hands with the guys.
"What's up with you and Kyla?" Mitch asked.
"She's upset about Violet and I, driving to school together. I seriously don't get it."I said.
"Well, that's girls for you. They are always jealous."Mitch said.
"Well, why don't you not give her reasons to be jealous. She doesn't like it when you drive Violet to school, then stop driving her to school, final." Brian said.
" I agree with the nerd."Mitch said.
"What did you just call me?" Brian asked.
" Brian. I called you Brian. Isn't that your name?"Mitch said and I chuckled a bit.
"Guys, I tried to talk to Kyla about it, that I'll drive her home instead of Violet. But I still don't get her drift." I said.
" That's because you are new to this. Just do what she wants then you'll have peace of mind."Mitch said.
"Like you have peace of mind."Brian said sarcastically and we both laughed.
" Jeremy, tell me why are you distracting my class?"The teacher asked and we were quiet.
" I hope she's not going to tell Crystal about what happened at the mall." Mitch whispered to me.
" No, she isn't."I said.
"Mitchell and Jeremy, do you want to take over the class?" The teacher asked, glaring at us.
" Sorry ma'am" we said and she continued teaching.
When it was lunch break, the three of us went to changing room where the rest of the team were already changing. I opened my locker and took my basketball uniform and changed into it. I sat on the bench and took off my shoes and wore my sneakers.
"I heard that our competition this time is against Hillard high School."Justin said.
" Yeah and they are fierce and are experts in basketball."Gregory said.
" It just means we have to work harder." Brian said.
"Yeah, and with J on our side, we'll surely win."Philip said and they cheered happily. I just smiled. We went to the basketball court and started practice with me coaching them, because coach went for the staff meeting.
"All right everybody. Take 10."I said after blowing the whistle. They went to sit or get hydrated. "Mitch." I called and walked to him.
"What's up?" he asked.
"I want you to take over for me." I said.
"where are you headed?"he asked.
"Kyla."I said.
" Oh, ok. See you later." He said.
"Thanks."I said and tapped his shoulder. I turned to the others. "Hey guys, Mitch is in charge for now. I'll be right back." I said and walked out after taking a chocolate chip. "Hey, where is Kyle?" I asked Regina.
"She's at the library."she said.
"Ok." I said. I walked to library. She was at her usual spot. I sat beside her with my hand around her shoulders. She looked at me and I pecked her. She looked back at her book.
"Come on, you can't still be mad at me." I said and removed my hand from her shoulders. She sighed and turned to me.
"JeREMY. I understand that Violet is your friend but.. you are my boyfriend and it means a lot to me that you are. I told you I don't trust her and I don't want her to be too clingy to you."she said
"Fine. I accept that you don't trust her, ok? But don't let that get in between us." I cupped her cheeks. "You are my girlfriend and you behaving indifferent towards me, makes me lose my focus on everything. Earlier, I was at basketball practice I couldn't focus. I wasn't feeling it, because of you. You are mad at me, so I had to come to you. I'm sorry if I made you angry, ok? Will you forgive me?" I asked.
"Ok, I forgive you." she said.
"Smile for me."I said and she gave a cute smile. "Yeah, that's my girl." I said, kissing her. Someone cleared her throat and we quickly disengage to see the librarian, standing in front of us.
"This is a place for study and not for kissing." she said sternly.
"I was actually on my way out." I said.
KYLA'S P.O.V.
"I was actually on my way out."he said and gave me a peck and ran out. I giggled but my eyes met with the librarian's and I stopped.
"Sorry ma'am." I said. I raised my book covering my face. She walked away and I dropped the book and sighed. I saw J's chocolate chip on the desk. I guess he forgot it. Well, it's mine now. I took it and started eating it.
After school closed, J walked to me at my locker. I shut it and turned to him.
"Shall we?" he asked, stretching out his hand. I took it and we walked to his car.
"J" someone called, we turned to see Violet. Jeez. She walked to us. "Can I tag along with you guys?" she asked with a fake smile. Why does she has to ride in his car? Doesn't she have a car?
"Of course."J said and opened the door for me. I went in and he shut it. Violet sat behind. I thought he promised to drive me alone today.
J started the car engine after he got in and soon we were on the road.
"J, where is your headphone?" she asked. What does she need it for? Urgh, She's pissing me off.
"Here."J said and gave it to her.
"Thanks."she said. I glanced at her.
"So who should I drop first?" he asked.
"I'm not in a hurry, you can drop Kyla first." Violet said.
"No, drop her first."I said.
"Ok, babe." J said. He drove to her house and she got down.
"Bye J."she said and went in. J started driving to my place. I was happy she left. I just don't know why I don't feel comfortable around her. I glanced at Jeremy, his eyes were on the road. I was tempted to ask why he took her along when he promised to drive just myself, but I didn't.
