Chapter 42 - Pressured (1/2)

A girl standing among her friends spots Alexander walking to the cafeteria for lunch and licks her lips, 'you'll be mine someday'

(Alexander POV)

While walking to lunch I couldn't help but feel a chill down my spine I shake my head and just walk into the cafeteria so I could get something to eat.

I walk up to the student store and buy a pizza pocket and a Dr.pep the worker asks if I want anything else I Say no and head to the table.

While I'm walking I see Chris and April joined the group for lunch she was holding a teddy bear while stealing glances at Chris with a blush on her face and Chris would also steal glances at April and when they caught each other they quickly looked somewhere else.

I sat next to Cora and nudged her arm she looked up from her phone and smiled beautifully at me and gave me peck on the lips she said ”Hey.”

I said ”hey, so what's up with those two?”

She giggled making April and Chris blush ”well while you were getting food Chris came up to April who was already sitting at the table and gave her the valentines teddy bear and said 'happy Valentine's Day, will you go to the movies with me tonight?' Of course this was all in true Chris fashion stuttering and all” Chris couldn't look any of them in the eye.

”That's as far as it got until you got here we're still waiting for her answer”

We all looked at April and she hid part of her face behind the bear

April said ”A-are you asking me o-on a date?”

Chris looked suprised and he looked at me for help and I shrugged and he looked at me like I betrayed him, I wanted to laugh... so I looked the other way and did it silently.

Chris looks at her nervously and said ”Y-Yes” he looked away prepared to be rejected by her.

”Okay”

He looked shocked all he could say was ”what?”

April giggled at his reaction finding it cute then she spoke more sure of her answer ”I said yes, I'll go out with you.”

The rest of lunch when by with the girls teasing the two of them about their little date.

(After school)

Alexander is tying his cleats then he put a band in his hair to help keep it out of his eyes since it was starting to get annoying while he was playing.

Then he closed his locker and ”BOO!”

”Holy Crap!” Jared scared him the guys that were left in the locker room laughed so hard.

Alexander just had his arms crossed ”cool, cool I guess I'll tell coach that we should focus more on running after practice”

They all groaned and started blaming Jared and Alexander had a smirk on his face he wouldn't do it but it's funny seeing them all turn on Jared in a second.

Jared said ”eh, I still got you so it doesn't matter” they were the last ones that started to walk out of the locker room.

Alexander grinned shrugging said ”at least I got some revenge”

As they walked out of the door they passed Jason who was talking with a man they've never seen, he was pretty tall standing at 6ft 5in, Seemed to be in his late 30's with ginger hair and trimmed beard he was going to introduce himself but then Jared had fan girl moment and said ”Your Mason Stockton! Former Manchester United Goalkeeper! Can you sign my gloves!”

I face palmed Jason looked like he was about to lose it he just gave us both some blackmail material.
