The Figure Skater & The Hockey Player

Chapter 2

" So tell me why Hazel and Ricky were all up on each other in 1st Period ?" My best friend Paisley ranted as we made our way lunch. Paisley and I have been friends since she joined Figure skating back in 3rd grade even as kids Paisley would all ways start her sentences with "Tell Me Why?" It began to become her catchphrase.

"Uhh well maybe because that's her boyfriend." I stated.

Stacey batted her long eyelashes as if reality dunned on her. " You're lying!" She gasped. I giggled lightly as her brown eyes opened widely in shock.

"No it's true Pais they're officially official."

" So does that mean there like dating?" She question cluelessly. I rolled my eyes while opening the cafeteria doors.

" No, Paisley it means they're both aliens who mate with each other to produce diseases to infect the human race." Sarcasm was thick in my voice as we enter the cafeteria.

" You know one day Em someone's gonna kick your ass for being so sarcastic."

" As if. Paisley, ever one knows not to mess with Emmy Grace I'll kick there ass wearing skates and a skirt." Paisley busted into laughter causing people to stare.

" Yeah Em because a girl wearing skates and a skirt is so fucking intimidating." I playful slapped Paisley's arm to get her to stop laughing . It didn't help much she continued to laugh. Both Paisley and I walked to the end of the lunch line. Call me bitch but I'm the impatient kind and skipping ahead in line is one of my great talents. Paisley was like a slick Ninja and slide past the crowd unnoticed while I played friendly by socializing with people so they wouldn't even notice I had cut them in line.

" There goes my brother." I pointed only for Paisley to push my hand down.

" Don't point Em that's rude."

" I'm sorry did I miss the election? Because  who the hell made you the Proper Educate President." I turned around to face Paisley who was gone. I looked at the lunch line Paisley was  all ready in the front of the line. Only if she understood how easy she made this look.

I walked to Paisley stepping behind her in front of a girl from my Calculus class what's her name? Ashley, Addie, Poppy, Rachel? Oh forget it!

" Hey girly!" I greeted . She looked down at her feet and my eyes followed as well to her muddy rain-boots.

She smiled showing of her pearling white teeth. Giving me e picture chance she see her ID bag. Jenny Potter.

" Are you t-talking to me?" She stutters

" Of course Jenny who else would I be talking to?" Jenny looked up at me her hair was a light brown with a natural wave to it she wore thick glasses that made it hard to see her pretty forest green eyes and to top it off she had braces and wore a over size YMCA hoodie.

" You know my name?"

" Of course I do your Jenny Potter we have calculus together you don't talk much though." She covered her mouth not wanting me to see her braces. A part of me felt bad for using her over something as little as lunch.

" You know my name right?  It's really awkward for me when I know some one else's name but they don't know mine. "I said

" Every one knows your name your Eme-"

" Em call me Em."

She nodded not wanting to argue I could see her shift with discomfort as if she wasn't use to attention. I saw Jenny at lunch before. During the time I never really took much thought about how she sat alone I didn't really care but apart of me wanting to help Jenny. Turn Jenny into something more then this shy girl. I'am going to be he one who takes her under my wings and turn her into a swan. Just like the movies.

" Hey Jenny how about you sit with me and my friends for lunch."  I suggest

" Oh, Okay."

" Great I'll catch up with you later." I skipped a few more people going unnoticed finally making it to the front.

" Can I have a Chicken Sandwich please."  I request to the lunch lady. As I reach out to get it a lunch body steps in front of me taking the tray before I can get it.

" What the hell?" I turned to face the jerk who took my food.

" Calm down Grace you could miss a meal or two."Parker patted my flat stomach I swatted his hand away.

" You skipped me!" I exlamied.

Parker ruffled my hair.

" Oh so its okay when you do it but when other people do it It's a problem?" He asked while scouting up in line. I grabbed the next tray thanking the lunch lady before turning my my focus back to Zander.

" Yes that's exactly what it means." We made it to the front of the line. I dug in my pockets in hopes of getting my lunch money but instead was greeted by a bubble gum wrapper and lip bomb.

" Shoot." I mumble remembering that I had given my to some whistle for a charity even earlier today. Those bitches played me. Parker pulled out his wallet taking out a 20 dollar bill.

" This is to cover mine and hers put the change in her account." The lunch lady nodded and doing so, until I objected. " No." I said.

" No?" She questioned.

" Don't mind her she's just stubborn." He remarked
She nodded and before I could object once more she she handed him the receipt. He's right I'm stubborn as hell, but I didn't want Parker doing that. I could of figured it. I didn't like the idea of him always bailing me out of things. I'm a independent woman I don't need him to pay for my lunch.

" Lets go Grace." I hadn't when he called me by my middle name. I huffed, we both sat at the same table there was no way of avoiding him. I walked behind him as we headed to our table.

" A simple Thank you would of been nice." I stated.

I rolled my eyes.

" Yeah it would of. But don't play that shit again Parker. That was embarrassing having to have my brother best friend pay for my lunch I didn't need you to do that-"

He chuckled.

" Gosh, your such prick." He exclaimed " A guy does something nice for you and instead of saying thank you, you run your bitchy mouth about what other people think. I should of left you standing in the line digging in your bra for lose change." He continued

I huffed rolling my eyes just before pushing past him and to my set. " And then the Princess throws a bitch fit." I walked ahead of him yet, I still heard the mumbles that left his mouth. As soon as I made it to our table I slammed my tray down. Causing all eyes to look at me.

" What wrong now?" Emmet asked.
