Friends Again!

I walked into the school in my neon green top and denim torn shorts that I found in my suitcase coincidentally a few days back when I was trying to find my assignment papers. I had put my hair in a high ponytail. I was feeling okay with my look, though I didn't know why everyone around me was looking at me suspiciously.

I stopped at my locker to collect my books and assignment that I needed to submit in my Chemistry class.

"Hey," Jason's enthusiastic voice said behind me. At which I responded with a small, "hello," in a supposedly happy voice as well. I finished taking out my books and turned around to find Jason still waiting for me while leaning on the locker next to mine.

"Don't you have practice?" I asked him, and started walking towards my class.

"Why would you ask?" He counter questioned.

"Umm, I heard the football team is going for some match in other city, and that it is going to be a big one." I said exaggerating it in the same manner as Jessica, Marie's Best friend, had said.

Jason started to laugh over my change in the voice and expressions.

  "What? Dearie don't you find it amusing?" I asked in a fake sweet accent.

He doubled in laughing over this. I started to laugh myself over my stupid attempt to copy her.

After laughing it out for few minutes I leaned against the wall. Trying to catch my breath I looked at Jason, to find him already looking at me. Embarrassed I rubbed my back of my neck, and asked him, "what?"

"Oh, nothing. It's just that I have never seen you laugh that much. You look beautiful when you smile." he said smiling cutely.

I felt my cheeks getting red. So I abruptly turned around to move into the class, but I was not fast enough because I didn't miss when he said, "You are even more beautiful when you blush."

I quickly sat at the first chair I saw.

The day ended quite calmly for me, without any encounter with Marie, and without trying to hide away from Jason. Sighing constantly I made my way towards the gym as I was going to start training today for which I was excited.

I opened the door to the hallway to find number of guys standing there, either doing their routines or talking to each other about yesterday's match.

"Heyyy!" I heard Damon's cheerful voice. Smiling to myself at his enthusiasm I turned towards him, "Hello to you too," I replied.

Damon abruptly stopped in his track and eyed me up and down. He then looked everywhere around confused I followed his suit and looked around to find nothing different.

Damon quickly came to me and put his arm over my shoulder in a friendly manner, "let me ask, what happened to you?" He asked in a hushed voice.

I tried to understand his statement. "What?" I asked him befuddled. I tried clearing my face and asked him again, "Is there something on my face?" As I saw him continuously looking at me with a suspicious knowing expression.

"Yes, Yes! Yes! There is!" He shouted dramatically.

Embarrassed I started wiping my face fiercely. "Of course there is a smile on your face. And as well a genuine one." He yelled throwing up his arms in the air at his own observation.

H e again bent to my hearing level and said, "tell me truthfully, You made up with the lover boy?"

"What?" I fervently turned away from him.

Damon put his all the teeth on display and gave me a knowing smile. "Oh you know, what was his name?" He said trying to recall. "James? Jules? Jay?" He kept on guessing, but I said nothing so he carried on, " Alright Jay it is." He declared.

"The jay guy really makes you happy I guess, just a patch up and you have this 50 watt smile on your face." He dramatically said.

I started to move towards the ring. Since he had his arm on my shoulder he kept on moving with me whole time talking in his grave manly voice like a lil baby girl, "I mean I know I'm handsome, but this handsome face and this bright smile could not put the smile on your face but wow, man just wow one call and you are shining." He whined while indicating to his face.

"Damon!" I shouted to stop him from further shouting. He momentously stopped to look at me. "He has nothing to do with me, so please stop." He looked at me confusedly. "Why?" He mumbled.

"One: he is way out of my league." I said counting on my fingers.

"Two: he has got girls lining up to him and I stand no chance to all of them." I rolled my eyes at that my own self.

"Three: Oh and the most important one, okay?" I asked him melodramatically at which he nodded his head silently. "HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"

I suddenly heard laughing on my left side. I looked up to see Damon rolling up in laughter. 'Oh great it's the second time someone is laughing at me.' Alice my conscience gushed to me.

I scowled at him waiting for him to explain the funny scene to me as well. He finally stopped after laughing for an hour, okay not that much, but after a long while. I rolled my eyes at him once again.

"You know you look cute when you whine like a baby." he suddenly said smiling goofily. "I never whined." I declined fiercely.

"Of course you didn't." He said shaking his head at me. "I really didn't!" I whined again.

"Okay, okay. So you like that Jason guy?" He asked amused. I instantly stopped at that and turned to look at him. "Umm- mm, No?" I said to him, but that sounded more like a question.

"Oh man, you are even more cute when you blush." He said completely mimicking Jason from the morning. That made me blush even more.

I hurriedly said the first thing that came to mind and ran away, " I- uh, I uh got to go train the boys, yeah, I'm already late." I started to move to the place where everyone was already present.

"You sure you are not going to day dream about Jason again?" He joked after me that made me blush even harder.
