Learning the Game

chapter two-throw up and a buffet?

"So are you guys like a thing," a girl named Tara I think asked.

"Oh no! We are just friends," I answered with a short laugh.

"Does he know that," she said back laughing as she walked away. 

I shook off the comment and quickly took a shower.

---Carter POV---

She walked out of the locker room and I couldn't contain the butterflies that raced in my stomach. 

I knew that the probability of her ever liking me was very slim but I couldn't help it. The way her effortlessly wavy brown hair bounced around her beautiful flawless face. Her smile was carefree and her laugh could make angels fall from heaven I swear. Not to mention her incredible intelligence that made me always feel like I didn't know what she was saying. 

She walked like she was on a runway. Which is where she belongs honestly. 

"Hey ready to go to that movie," she asked me and I nodded attempting to swallow my nerves. God, I just want to tell her how I feel but I don't want to end our friendship. 

We got into the car and I put on some music and she immediately started singing. She had an amazing voice and it had taken me all last summer to get her to start a youtube channel. She blew up and is super popular now. 

We arrived there and we both got out and stood in line.

"How was practice," I asked and she looked up at me with a giant smile. Her green eyes were absolutely stunning. They weren't completely green, they had a mix of a honey color near the pupil. 

"Oh, it was awful but amazing. Most of the girls threw up but that just pissed me off I mean who doesn't condition during their off season. It makes absolutely no sense to me. Don't you agree?" She rambled and I dazed off for a few seconds and she looked at me expectantly.

"Oh, yeah I totally would condition on my off season. If I had one," I answered and we both laughed. To be honest I had an off season now but I hadn't told her. I was going to tell her today that I joined football. 

We finally reached the ticket booth and I bought our tickets and we headed inside.

"I could have paid C," she complained elbowing me in the ribs gently.

"You can pay for popcorn," I answered chuckling.

"Oh no way I'm just getting popcorn I'm getting a fucking buffet," she answered folding her arms over her chest. 

"Then you get your fucking buffet," I answered laughing and she joined in. She ordered a popcorn, two large sodas, four things of candy and nachos. 

She also only let me carry the sodas.

"Come on Mads let me carry something," I begged as she stuffed the candies in her dress and her purse. The large popcorn was tucked in one arm and she was carrying the nachos in the other.

"Nope," she said popping the p. 

We walked to the movie and she took about five minutes picking out the perfect spot to sit. It was the last week of it being in theaters so the theater was deserted. She finally chose her spot and we cozied into the chairs.

"I can't believe you put the candies into your dress Mads," I laughed.

"Shoosh," she answered shoving popcorn into my mouth. "The movie is going to start!"

"Dude the commercials are on," I pointed at the obvious screens. 

"This is my favorite part," she answered giving me a fake stern face. I stretched my arm over and covered her eyes. She let out a war cry and flung popcorn at me. 

"You guys are so cute together," an old lady said from behind us. We both whipped around to face her.

"Oh no we aren't together," we answered at the same time. We looked at each other and then started cracking up. 

The movie started and throughout the movie, I snuck glances at her. 

The movie ended and we left the movies. 

"How did you like it," I asked as I started the car.

"I loved it!" she answered and I laughed at her eagerness.

"Hey I need to tell you something," I said looking over at her.

"What is it," she asked looking at me.

I love you.

"I'm on the football team," I answered and she cheered very loudly.

"That's so good C!" She exclaimed hitting me multiple times on the shoulder.

I laughed at her happiness but inwardly my intestines were doing some serious gymnastics. 

In that moment all I wanted to do was lean over and kiss her but I couldn't and I wish I could. 

Hey, lovelies!

What do you think of Carter's point of view? Not sure if I'll be doing that a lot but just let me know what you think:) Picture above is Tyler!!!

XOXO
