The Player and The Freckled Girl

What do you think life's going to be like after high school?

It's Monday morning and Alex is driving me to school since my bikes in the shop and I'm still on crutches. I've got the Worlds trophy on my lap and I'm ready to show it off proudly.

"Apparently Jaelene was fuming when she found out you won," Alex tells me laughing

"for real! Why was she mad?" I ask confused

"Dan, you're the quarterback of the school's football team who has just won worlds and also won Nationals with the soccer team, you're officially more popular than Jaelene" She says

"ugh, does that mean I have to be nice to every person that talks to me" I say scrunching up my face

"You're not anyways Dan" She says laughing at me

We continue to joke around for the rest of the ride talking about random stuff really but it's moments like this that I'm grateful to have people in my life like Alex, I know I've only known her for less than a year but it feels like she's been apart of my life forever.

She's my sister, and that's it. Growing up I've always wanted another sibling to spend time with, share stories that I couldn't tell my parents and bond over mutual interests. I have that with Alex now and I'll forever be grateful for it

"Right you cripple, here's your bag," Alex says leaning into the back seat to pass it to me before I use my crutches

"Cheers Lex, can you grab the trophy," I say and she takes it off my lap and walks to my side

"let's go captain, we've got a bitches face to rub this in," She says smirking at me

We make the walk up the school steps and I've got my leatherman jacket on for today as all the school students clap as I go past them.

"This is so weird, why does it feel like we're in a movie scene?" Alex whispers to me

I part ways with Alex and head towards my locker, balancing my crutches to one side and trying to get my books out of my bag but only having one working leg is making this task a lot harder.

I'm trying to organise everything when I knock my crutches over to one side

"Fucking hell" I groan out and go to lean down but I'm beaten by someone else

"Looking for these babe?" Kelley says smiling at me

"I've said it once and I'll say it again, I hate crutches" I grumble out

"which is why I offered to help you out today but you're too stubborn" She says glaring at me

"Alright fine, could you please help me get my books out for a lesson," I asked rolling my eyes at her

"Of course I will babe," She says with a smile and gets my maybe and Portuguese books out

"I don't think I've ever heard you speak Portuguese before?" Kelley says and I smile having had an idea

"Eu vou casar com você uma palavra" I whisper into her ear as I feel her shiver slightly

"You're definitely saying whatever that was during sex," Kelley says looking at me shocked

"Okay babe," I say letting out a chuckle "I'm heading to see coach and give him his trophy, tell miss I'll be a little late for maths," I tell Kelley

"Okay, will do" she says peckng my lips and walking off.

I make my way towards coaches office, waving at more people as I make my way there, and knock on his door

"come in!" he shouts out
