High School

I’d gotten tackled four fucking ti football practice because I couldn’t takein the bleachers

Damn it Why does she affect irl in this school Why Jess?

Dealked up toto kick your ass,” Dew said before he started laughing

“Fuck off, dickhead” I putthere, watching me

I looked up a fewto her on the sideline I instantly felt anger building inside et into Jessie’s pants She is way too good for him Stupid-ass baseball player doesn’t even deserve a second look from her

Jessie pulled her beautiful blonde hair back into a ponytail before turning and sitting back doith her friends Once coach got done talking, I stalled for as long as I could until I sa heading into the locker roo up to leave, so I ran over toward her, calling out her name

“Jess! Jessie, hold up Hey, can I talk to you for a o?” I flashed her the sirls except for Jessie Rhodes I could never read her—ever

She turned and nodded her head As she made her way down the bleachers, I walked under them to ave me that sweet smile of hers that made my stomach do all sorts of messed-up shit

“Hey,” she said

“Hey, I, um…I wanted to ask…do you have the notes for the history test next week?”

I watched as her expression fell for a second Shit Was she expecting so else? Could Jessie actually like me? Shit, just do what you’ve wanted to do for the last three years

“Uonna try to cheat off ain?” she said with a wink

I watched her lips as she talked, and I instantly felt irl for as long as I can reray I moved my eyes down to watch her chew on her lower lip She had the e to stare at them every time she talked
