"So do you wanna start?" She asked looking down at his books.
"yeah." he said turning to the books. They sat and studied for a half hour. Justin looked up at the old clock.
"Man I have to go." Justin said
"Oh." She whispered
"Thank you. Are you free tomorrow?" He asked as he started to pack up his books.
"yeah you can come by." She smiled
"Cool thanks again." he said leaning over and kissing her cheek. Her face reddened and he got up to his feet.
"I'll walk you out." She said walking up behind him.
"Bye." He said walking out of the door.
"Bye." She replied with a faint of happiness to it.
Justin jogged to his house strolled inside and smiled over to his mother who was at the stove cooking.
"Is dad home?" He asked
"no not yet." She replied
"Alright." he said jogging up to his room. He jumped onto his bed and relaxed. Remembering the feel of her cheek against his lips. he closed his eyes and pictured her face and her hair. Justin reached out as if he were going to run his fingers through her hair.
"What are you doing?" Brian asked peering through the doorway.
"Nothing." Justin replied rolling onto his side.
"Mom said dinner is done." Brian said. Justin got up from the bed and walked downstairs. He took his place at the table and started to serve himself.
"Joshua's father told me about what happened at practice today." Justin father started
"Please dad." Justin said
"He told me that you started with his boy. What's this all about Justin?" he asked angrily
"Dad forget it alright."
"Justin I expect better from you. How are you supposed to lead the team to victory if you tear them down one at a time." His father yelled angrily
"Dad I'm not leading anyone." justin said annoyed
"Justin a QB carries a team." his father glared at him.
"Honey not at the table. We're eating." his mother said
"no! We will have this discussion. Boy, I'm telling you now that if you don't get your act together you will not be permitted out of this house!" His father yelled angrily
"May I please be excused. I suddenly lost my appetite." Jusitn said glaring at his father.
"Yes.' his mother whispered.
Justin ran up the stairs and slammed his door shut. He hated his father half the time. All he wanted was to win. Just like the rest of the goddamn town. All depened on him to win. It was too much pressure.
The next day Justin stomped through the halls angrily. He caught Josh by the shirt and slammed him up against the lockers.
"Tellin daddy all about what happened huh?" Justin said angrily
"Get off me!" josh said angrily
Justin looked around at the crowd that was gathering. Aomg the crowd was Emily standing at her locker. She was watching Justin and he suddenly felt guilty. he let fo of Josh and stared at him angrily. Josh looked over at Emily and smiled
"Stay away form her." Justin growled.
"I can do what I want." Josh smiled
"If you play your game on her, we're through as friend." Justin said glaring at him angrily
Josh brushed himsefl off and picked up his bookbag. he strolled past Justin and winked oer at Emily who immediately looked down. Justin burned over in anger. he wanted to kill Josh. Jsutin walked over to her.
"Hey." He smiled
"oh hi." She said timidly
"What's wrong?" he asked
"What was that all about?"
"Nothing really. Josh got me in trouble that's all." Justin replied
"Oh he seemed nice."
"you know him?"
"He came to my house after you left." she said fearfully
"He did! Did you let him in?" justin asked
"No. We stayed at the door." She said
"Good don't let him in."
"why is he not trustworthy?" She asked looking at him almost scared. Justin wanted to just hold her in his ams and make sure she'd never feel scared again.
"Justin don't let him in okay?" Justin asked looking down at her
"Alright>" She said worreid that she had spoken to him at all yesterday.
"Can I walk you to class?" Justin asked
"yeah." She smiled letting him take her books and walk her to their next clas that they had together. Instead of sitting at his regular seat he sat behind Emily. Josh shot angry glances at him all class. Chris leaned over toward Justin.
"Dude are you angry with me?" Chris asked
"no just Josh." Justin said angrily
"Good." Chris smiled and gave him a hand pound.
Justin turned to look intently at Emily's long brown hair. Her hair spilled down onto his desk and he couldn't see the pages of his book. Smiling he took it up in his hand and brushed it away and over her shoulder. She turned to him and smiled
"Sorry your hair was everywhere." he laughed
"Oh sorry." she said pulling it up in her hair and tying it up with a rubber band
"Thanks." He smiled
"Welcome." She smied before turning back around in her seat.
