Without You

Chapter 6

I walked into my History class. Jessie wasn't in this class but most of the football team was. I didn't want to try and strike up conversations so I chose to sit at the table I sat at the first 2 days of school. Today there is another girl sitting there.

"Hi, can I sit here?" I asked her. She had long brown hair and big brown eyes.

"Oh yeah of course," she smiles moving her stuff for me.

"I'm Allie Carter," I introduced myself, organizing my books.

"Oh hi, I'm Camden Hill. Aren't you the QB now?" she almost whispered.

"Yeah that's me," I mumbled, not sure if Camden heard me. I did not want to be this known, but it was my own doing.

"I've heard you are incredible. I don't know anything about football though," she let a sheepish smile creep to her face. "Not to be nosy but are you dating Jason Carter?"

"Oh god no, never. He honestly hates me for no reason and can't say I'm his number one fan either," I laughed.

"Another one of those false rumors," she shook her head, "I heard that he's dating you but likes some hot horse jockey named Samantha Carter. Too many Carters, what are the chances of that."

"Yeah, no he isn't dating me. Have you heard any other rumors about me?" I asked, curiosity getting the best of me.

"Not anything crazy. No guy wants to admit that you are good at football," she paused," I don't know if that's a rumor though."

"Okay class please quiet down we are going to start our test," the teacher announced, interrupting our conversation. Oh great, I didn't study for this one.

I found out Camden and I had a lot of classes together. I decided to make a list (I just like to organize things) of who is in what class after the test I finished early.

During lunch I sat with Jess and some of her friends who left Olivia to sit with us and Camden who had been sitting alone. The main reason Jessie's friends sat with us was because the football team sat with us, and were definitely not friendly towards me. I looked over at Jessie next to me who was eating triples of grilled cheese and 2 soups.

"Jess how do you eat so much and not gain like any weight?" I asked her, bewildered.

"Honey, you shouldn't be talking what are you 100-lbs.?" She retorted jokingly. What's up with people always talking about my weight?

"She weighs more than that," Jason remarked. "She's 103 lbs."

"Creep," Camden mumbled, sitting down on the other side of me.

"Okay Jason but what's up with always discussing my wei-" I get interrupted by Hunter.

"Hey who's this new hottie? She makes Allison look like she came out of a trash can." Every guy at the table laughed at that. I drifted into my thoughts. I wasn't offended.

"Allison, Allie, Allison?!" Jessie says snapping me out of my thoughts. "You know he is wrong right? He is-"

"Oh no it's fine I was just thinking." I say a little shaken.
