~Heres quite a lengthy piece because im gonna be gone for a day 😄~
Alex walked along the hallway on his way to the locker room. He met up with John who was on his way there too.
"Hey!" Alex called out.John was only a few feet ahead of him but he was walking fast and didnt see Alex.John turned around and faced Alex.
"Hey" he said as Alex caught up with him
"Pumped up for Thursday," John commented. "I almost got my jumpshot perfected for the big game" John said shooting an air ball with his hands.They both laughed."You pshyiced or what?".
"Yeah,I am. I really thing we're going to win this time" Alex said,trying to sound ethusiastic even though he still had Alexis and the number in his mind.
They made it to the locker room door and stepped inside.The air smelled of sweat mixed with bad spray deoderant.He saw the guys had already started.Most of them just sat on the benches talking to the other guys even though they where already dressed.Alex couldnt imagine who would want to stay in this room longer than they have to.
" Nice game point Monday! " one of the seniors yelled from across the room. "Yeah nice game point " another guy yelled. Alex smiled nervously, not liking being put on the spot. "You gonna do that again in the game tommorow? " another kid in Alex's classed asked.
" I'll do my best "Alex said trying to shake the attention.
Him and John quickly got dressed and left the locker room. The air outside smelt so good compared to the dingy sweat caused by the guys in the locker room.They began walking towards the gym again.
" So have you asked Amanda to the dance on Friday yet? " Alex asked John with a smile on his face.
John laughed "No not yet. I dont know if I can. She's really hot and nice and stuff and i'm well me." John said starting to sound serious. " Do you think she would say yes? " John asked.
"Yeah" Alex said encouragingly. " Ask her out dude. She's totally crushin on you man." Alex didnt know this for a fact but he was trying to give John some confidence so he could just get on with it.
" Yeah ok. Maybe I will " John said starting to sound confident again. "I'll show her some of that Johny Boy charm" he said jokingly.Alex laughed.
They reached the gymnasium where they had P.E. everyday and they took a seat on the bleachers.By now there where already fifteen kids there so Alex and John had to take a seat near the front.
" So you going with Alexis to the dance? " John asked.
" NO!" Alex said sarcastically. "I'm going with my other girlfriend who i've been seeing for eight months." John and Alex laughed. "Hey where's Michael?"
"I dont know.I havent seen him since lunch.He said he had some business to take care of and you know what that means " John said grinning.
" How does that guy get to make-out with every hot girl in school?! " Alex asked frustrated.
John laughed "I dont know but he manages"
Alex grinned.Then he heard a kid yelling behind him. He saw two kids from his class playing keep away with one of the mathletes pairs of glasses.
"Give it back!" the kid yelled.
"Get it yourself" one of the bullies called back.
Alex got up and ran to the kids. " Give it back to him " Alex demanded.He wasn't afraid.He was dealing with simple class outcast.He could handle them.
"Or what?" one of them asked snarling.
John got up and backed Alex up. "Or else you'll have every other Jr. Varsity basketball player waiting for you outside after school. "
The bully's sat there snarling and then gave the glasses back to the little kid.Alex and John backed away without saying another word.
"Jerks" John muttered as they walked back to their seats.They saw Michael making his way from the entrance across the gym.He walked up to them.
"Oh my God! That girl in 11th grade.Whats her name? Uh....Alisa Travis.Dude she is like.......awesome!" Michael said with a big smile on his face.He saw Alex and John where not showing any excitment. "Whats eating you guys ? "he asked.
"Stupid bully's , " John replied. "We just had to care of some.Why cant they ever pick on somebody who can defend themselves?Instead in they have to pick on....math nerds."
"Oh.well I just made-out with the hottest girls in school so....."
"Yeah,Congrats" Alex said showing no action behind the words.
"Fine then" Michael took a seat next to them. "Dont be happy for me.Jeez!"
"Sorry," Alex replied. "Stupid bullys just get on my nerves."
"Yeah,I know what you mean" Michael replied.
After P.E. Alex,John, and Michael lefted the gym and got changed in the locker room.The air was hot and wet as the sweaty students got changed.Alex,John, and Michael put on their cloths and quickly left.
" They need some ventilation in there or something " Alex complained.
"For real" John replied.
They usually met Melody,Alexis,and Jennifer in front of the school so they started walking there but they didnt have to walked for long before they saw them heading there themselves.
"Hey!" Alex called out.
"Hey" Alexis replied turning around.
"Oh shoot! I forgot my P.E. shirt in the locker room" Alex exclaimed exhuastedly. "Alexis,can you take my backpack to the front for me?"
"Sure" Alexis replied.
Alex ran off to the locker room.
Alexis and the group walked to the front of the school.Alexis stopped.
"I forgot my geometry book in Ms Groggy's classroom.I need to go get it " she said.
"Too late. You know Ms Groggy leaves right at three" Melody said.
Alexis smacked herself playfully in the head. "Thats right.What am I going to do? I didnt do my homework in study hall "
" Borrow Alex's " Melody suggested.
"Yeah,I dont think he'll mind.He finished his homework in class today" Alexis said cheerfully.She reached in Alex's backpack and got his book.She put it in her backpack and continued to walk towards the front of the school.They got there and sat on some benches while they waited for their parents.John and Michael sat on the grass talking about the basketball game that was going to happen on Thursday.Melody,Jennifer, and Alexis talked about the dance and what they where going to wear. Jennifer said she had already bought a yellow,sunflowered like dress with white dandilions on it. Melody said she was wearing a simple black dress her parents had imported from Italy for her birthday. Alexis said she was wearing a red,silk dress with a black shaw. They all giggled.Exclaiming how good they where going to look.
Alex then walked out and joined them.
"What are you ladies talking about ? " Alex asked.
"Just girl stuff " Alexis replied giggling.
"You werent talking about me where you "Alex asked with a grin.
"No, idiot,we where talking about what we're going to wear to the dance Friday " Melody said smirking.
"Oh well......." Alex was in the middle of a comeback when he was interrupted by his mom's car honk. "Oh, I have to go. I'll talk to ya'll lata " He walked to Alexis and gave her a kiss. "Call me " he said in her ear. He walked towards his car.
"Cya Alex! " John and Michael called out.
Alex waved not looking back.
"That messed up." he heard John and Michael comment.
"Just kiddin" Alex turned around and yelled back.
He got in his mom's escalade and began to shut the door.
"WAIT ALEX I...." Alex's car door shut in the middle of Alexis sentence. " got your geometry book " Alexis said to herself now that he couldnt hear her.
