Part 5/Poor baby...

t's been a slow week.

Getting to know my teachers,school,lessons...but over all,things are really good here,i adore Emily,she is amazing.And i've goten to know Caleb and Tucker better,and Caleb has been a really good friend...surprisingly.

So now its Friday,andI am going to my last class.

As i walk down the hall,i hear some shouting down the hall,and i make a detour to see what's up,it's not like i have math class so...

"...you can't do this Coach!" I hear a familiar voice say.

"I'm sorry Caleb you brought this up on your self,there is nothing i can do."coach Baxter says.

I look at them behind the wall from the hall,i feel so stupid,like im spying on him...

Coach Baxter walks away,and Caleb growls and punches one of the lockers.

"Damn it!" he shouts angrily.

He leans his back against the lockers and slides down,until he is sitting on the floor.

"O my god,Caleb!" I say and walk towards him,and slowly sit down next to him,with my back leaned against the lockers.

He looks at me suprised,and angry but his face softens a little.

"Are you okay?" I say as i take his brused and bleeding hand and look at it.

"Yeah" he gives me sa sad smile"that locker was being an ass."

I give him half a smile,and opend my bag and take out my little first aid kit.

He chuckles and says"You carry a first aid kit in your backpack?"

"Better safe then sorry" i say.

First i clean his cut,and he flinches as i dab around with a coton ball.

"So you wana tell me what happened?" I ask as i work on his hand.

He sighs loudly and after a couple of sekonds says "Coach says i can't be on the team anymore...and if i can't be on the team,then i can't play at the big game we have next month."

He sighs again"He told us that collage scouts were gonna be there,and i wanted them to notice me."

Poor baby,he sounds so sad.

"But you're one of the best players,how can he just kick you out?"i ask.

"My grades"he simply answers "i currently am the proud owner of three F-s on my report card"he says sarcastically " I am so screwed"

I put a band-aid on his hand and look at him.

What can i do to help him?

"Not necessarily.." I say.

What are you doing Lara ,stop.

"What if i tutor you?"i say,and wish i could take my words back.

"Really?" His face lights up like freaking christmas lights.

Aw,poor baby boy.

"Yeah,my grades are great,i could get extra credit,and you would be back on the team."

"Lara that would be awsome" he says with a dimmpled grin,that makes my heart melt.

Surprisingly he hugs me and says "Thank you."and i hug him back.

I take out a pain-killer out of my bag,and my bottle of water.

"Here,take this it will help with the pain."

He takes the pill,and after he finishes he smiles at me,and stupidly i smile back.

"Do you have any more classes?"i ask him.

"Nope" he says.

"Well when you get home,put some ice on that so the swelling stops,okay?" I point at his hand.

He nods and says"do you have any more classes? He asks me the same question.

"Well i am supposed to be in math right now but..." I look at my watch and say"its been 30 minutes,so class is gonna end soon so..."

"I kept you here,im sorry" he gives me a sad smile "guess I'm a bad influence on you."

I smile at him and say"No,you're not."

And he gives a big smile.

"I hate math any way."

*********

I set up the TV and arrange all the snacks and blankets,and wait for Emily.We are having a girls night,and i could bot be more happy.

Like on cue the doorbell rings and i open the door to find a smiling Emily.

"Hey,you really wanna have a girls night,i was scared you gave me a wrong address or something."

My smile fades away a little,does she think I'm that horrible of a person?

"Hey,why would i,don't be silly,come in."

"Wow,awesome place" she glances around.

"Thank you,i have all the food that is horrible for us,and can clog our arteries,and all my favorite shows ready on Netflix" i say.

"Great,lets change in our pajamas then"she smiles.

We sit down on my couch,with our pj's on.

"Em?" I ask.

"Yeah?"

"Before we start,can i ask you something?"

"Sure." She says and turns to me.

"Why are you so doubtful of me? Did I do something wrong,or.."

"No," she shakes her head "It's not you. It's just that I haven't had the best of friendships with girls. I had one,but she moved,and she never really liked me.Then she started dating Caleb,and only kept me around for his bennefit"

"She dated Caleb?" I ask suprised.

"Yeah,that was until she cheated on him and broke his heart."she says sadly.

"Hence the reason Caleb has trust issues."

Wow,that was a big bomb about Caleb,he had his heart broken,wow...

"Then last year,she moved to Chicago,and we've never heard from her again."

"I'm sorry that happened to you guys. Everything happens for a reason,right?"

"Okay on to something more fun" i look at the TV "what do you want to watch Pretty Little Liars,American Horror Story or Grey's Anatomy?" I smile at her.

"We are gonna watch all of them but first...Dr.McDreamy"she shouts his name and i laugh.

"Thats what i was thinking" i say.

***

"So you're gonna tutor him?" Emily asks as we tuck in my bed,ready to sleep.

"Yeah,i mean why not"?

"I think its cool,god knows he needs the help,just dont slap him again please"

We both laugh and i say"No promises."

"Can you drive me there tomorow?" I ask.

"Sure,ill drop you off on my way to work."she says.

After a couple of minutes of silence I burp,loudly.

"Ican't breathe because of all the pizza we ate."

We both laugh and talk until we fall asleep.
