in Ohio
September 29th, 2002
The entire crowd,including Brinda and I,looked up at Josh.He stood there,in his soccer T-Shirt and long,khaki shorts,with his arms crossed.He imediatley went to me and me up.Shoving Brinda out of the way.he led me through the crowd,him holding my hand and both of our lunch`s."Sorry about Brinda,ever since I dumped her last week,she`s been very cautious around girls and wont even talk to any boys.Just because she`s a cheerleader,she thinks she can boss anyone around and that`s not true,"he told me,eating some corn.
I just looked at him.I really didnt know what to say.Whether to say 'Should I go to the office about this and tell the principal about this and Daniel lying' or 'It`s okay,i`m not mad' and sound like a girlie-girl.I looked at his shirt for a different subject."You like soccer?I`ve never talked a boy with a foundness for it."
"Soccer?Oh,yeah,I`ve played for 1...3...8 years.Since I was for.My last 2 years,I was undefeated and went to the championships."he told me.I looked at him and asked",in you`re fourth year,did you tell a girl that she hand pretty black hair?"
"Yes,why?"he asked,a gleam in his eyes.
"Ha!That was me.I thought you looked familiar,"I said,with a laugh.
"Look at them.Sitting there,giggling,without a care,"said Brinda to her fellow cheerleaders.
"I dont know where the black headed freak get`s off,talking to your ex.She cant just come in ask 'Will you sign my bra?Oops,i`m not wearing one.I guess we can just go out.',"said Jessica,glaring at Six.I was sitting in the shadows,watching and listening to both the Snob squad and Josh & Six.I walked off quitely,without a trace.
