I'm at my locker putting all my stuff
away to end my day and go home. I'm
tired and a bit grumpy; I had just
gotten a essay to do that was to be a
six page paper about famous authors
in history, which meant I'm going to
have to write about something really
stupid, and really boring; and then
probably help Kas write his too.
I usually don't tend to complain about
school and assignments, I just take
them and do them because most of
the time it's no problem. But it's
totally unfair if a teacher assigns
during the middle of the week and
expects it due by the end of the week.
| slam my locker shut, turning around
to find Kas leaning against the
other lockers.
"Hello my gorgeous
best friend. How was your day?" He
asked, kissing my forehead. I
narrowed my eyes at him
suspiciously, but thought no more of
his cheer attitude.
Someone had a really good day, who banged him in the bathroom? He's usually not this cheery by the end of the day.
I sigh loudly, as he offers to carry my
books. We head out of the school,
walking slowly asI explain about my
miserable day. "For starters, I have a
six page paper to write for English, I
still have to study for chemistry, and on
top of all that, I have homework for
every class, and I've got a massive headache" I complain, leaning my
head against his arm. "I thought
people said senior year is easy. I don't
see me getting any sleep tonight."
"Aw, I'm sorry you had a miserable
day" He said, kissing the top of my
head again.
"No you aren't." I murmured.
"No, I'm not" He chuckles. I looked at
him and stuck my tongue out. I spot
his car and start walking to it, but he
spins me around to face him.
"Um, Ariella, I've got practice." Asher
scrunches up his face, looking like he
was regretting saying that to me.
Kas is always my ride to and from
school. Usually I didn't mind staying
with him at practice because |
become so bored that I'm forced to
do homework because there's
nothing better to do. Today is just not
one of those day.
"Ugh, I completely forgot!" I whined,
face palming myself. All I want to do
is go home, take some ibuprofen, possibly
nap, and cram in all my homework
that is to be done by the end of the
night. Mostly I want ibuprofen and a nap,
and the metal bleachers aren't a place
to take naps.
"Sorry, but I have some painkillers l and you can do your homework while you wait
like you always do," He reminds me.
Good enough deal. I'm definitely not going to walk home.
"'Fine. Give me piggy back ride there, then" I asked sweetly batting my eyelashes.
"Hey what's this here?" He asks
sarcastically poking at my legs, "Oh
yeah, functioning legs to walk on. You
should try using them."
I gave him... the
smoldering look. Mine is more
attractive than Flynn's
in Tangled though.
"Ugh, fine. Jump on" He mumbled, bending down in
defeat so I could get on with ease.
While Kas has his puppy dog look I can't
resist, I have mastered the adorable
smoldering look.
I giggle, hopping on his back, twining
my hands around his neck and
hitching my legs around his waist. I
feel kind of bad that he's caring my
body weight plus my books, but he'
strong enough to carry all this. He is a
football player for Christ's sakes, the
linebacker are heavier to tackle than
me!
"Come on, Lockhart, pick up the pace.
Think of this as a pre-warm up before
practice. Move it, move it" l ordered,
shouting in his ear being a little
encouraging.
He scoffed, "You're kidding me right?"
"Does this look like a kidding face to
you? Now move your ass, come on pick up those legs!" I coach, hiding the smile
on my face that shows I'm idding,
but he can't see it so he believes I'm serious.
"Literally, you are the pain in my ass,"
He complained, speed walking to the
field. "Maybe I should just leave you to walk home."
"If you dare do that I'll strangle you in your sleep. Then you'll truly understand pain!"
I laughed, joking with him; I would be
one damn good coach. We both start
laughing as he crosses the field and
sets me on the bleachers. He places
my books near me, and messes up
my hair before jogging off to the
locker rooms."You're weak, Lockhart!
No girl will ever fall for your lazy behind! Got to lay off the junk food!" I teased shouting at him.
"You've influenced me to be a lazy
potato sack!" He laughed before
heading into the building. I'm noting
close to a lazy potato sack.
I laughed to myself, picking up my
math textbook and starting some
equations. I was done with my twenty
problems when the guys had just
finished doing warm ups. And let me
tell you this, it's not a pretty sight to
watch; boys are so inflexible! Their
groaning makes me feel
uncomfortable.
I pick up my chemistry shit and start
Working on whatever we were
learning. I suck at physics, but I'm a bit better at chemistry, but I don't
even know what I'm doing on my
homework right now. Surprisingly, Kas is really good at science. Usually I just copy
him or he tutors me. But it mostly
involves me copying him and I can do
that because he practically does it
with all my homework's that I finish.
I was still stuck on the first question
when someone came up from behind
me, quietly, talking to me, "You got number seven wrong. The correct answer is
Sodium Hydroxide" a husky voice corrected me.
I turned around quickly finding the
sexy god sitting behind me. That's
right, you know who I'm talking about,
Jace Black! I stare at him in shock, my jaw almost touching my knees.
Is he talking to me? I start my
nonsense rambling that makes me
look like an idiot.
"Oh...Uhh... Yeah…Um- Uh Thanks... I knew that,"
Yeah…smooth, Ariella. I thought,
mentally slapping myself. There's no way he'd think of you as a complete weirdo.
He chuckles at my rambling. His
laugh is so sexy, I thought I died and
went to heaven! I smile worriedly,
feeling a blush forming on my face.
"I'm sure you did. I'm also sure you know that number three's answer is actually Methane?" He replies with an amused smile.
I look at my notes with the dumbest look you could ever imagine.
"Need help?" He offers.
Oh my God! This is legit the longest
conversation we've ever had! Never
mind that this was the first time we've
ever talked since October 14th at 12:33PM!
Wait, what was today's date,
again?
"Yeah- yeah. Sure, I mean if you insist…Umm."
He took a seat next to me, taking
book off my lap. Oh my God! He's touching my book! I gonna faint! Or drop dead! Maybe both if possible!
