Tuckers point of view
That girl from math class is odd, i don't mean to say she is weird but the way she acted around me was. She barely talked to me the first day and she unlike the other girls walked away from me. It was a new concept for me.
Through out middle school i was becoming who i am today, but it kinda just happened to find me. I didnt try to look different of try to get taller, let alone get stronger (well maybe that i did). In elementary i was just a normal kid who just tried to blend in.
Middle school was when i started to, well i guess the best way to put it was grow. I got taller by about a foot and my blond hair got a little darker. My eyes stayed the same green and i still was a self proclaimed dork even if others didnt see it. Oh well that was their loss not mine.
High school is alittle different but not a whole lot. I mean I'm captain of the football team, Allstate quarterback and i was voted MVP (most valuable player) the last 3 years. Although I'm good at football i really enjoy baseball more. I guess its a good thing because the two sports are at different times in the semester. Football was i the fall and baseball was in the spring. There was always something to keep me busy.
the only thing that i don't like about the sports is the big deal people make over me. I cant stand when i walk into a school and there are posters saying "Good luck", "Go Tucker", or even "Tuckers our guy" it kinda makes me feel bad about it because of the other guys on the team deserve it too.
I try to tell Denise (head cheerleader) not to make them but she doesn't listen, she never has. I take down the posters slowly through out the day though, hoping people wont make more of find the ones Ive hidden and put them back up.
'summer cantels golden child?' i don't even know why they call me that I'm just a guy who pays sports. I'm not a straight A student, and I'm not in any clubs but yet they continue to call me a golden child. If anyone is its the geniuses that walk around knowing everything but no one talks to.
I wouldn't even come to school if it wasn't for sports or the fact that my dad is pushing me to finish. He wants me to go to college and major in business then come work for him, which is funny since he just owns a chain of car washes. Don't get me wrong it makes a lot of money but it is extremely boring. I want to do something different.
I've thought of being a doctor but i don't think i could stare about someone Else's body and not want to cover it back up and walk out of the room. Plus there was the fact that the room was surrounded by needles, which meant it was a no on the being a doctor track it also canceled out vet too.
Anyways there are jobs that don't require needles, perhaps lawyer, writer, actor, model (if i was really desperate) and astronaut. Lets mark them off as i go through the why not.
Lawyer? sounds great doesn't it? well it isn't, i wouldn't be able to sit and look at legal stuff all day then turn around and talk about the legal stuff i had just read. Then the major part was that i wasn't much of an arguer, more go with the flow. so no lawyer in my future unless i need one which i hope not but if i do then i will pay someone so i don't have to get confused.
Writer? I'm not a big literature person. the only time i really read something is when I'm told there is a test or something and even then i look up the spark notes on the book. Plus, i write more short hand than anything and alot of people find that annoying when trying to read a story. So writer is off of the list.
That just leaves astronaut, actor and model all of which are all no's in my book. Astronaut is a no because i don't want to leave earth in a tin can with 8 or more other people. Actor is a no because I'm not a good faker at all, i cant even disguise the fact that I'm telling a lie. Well model is because I'm not a piece of meat or a ken doll to be dressed up and told what to do or how to stand.
The only obvious things i had to chose from were working for my dad, being either a baseball player or a football player, and lastly join the army/marines/navy. I felt like all my options were down to these three and nothing else.
You know how people think the star athlete always has an easy life? Well that is not true about me but people don't pay attention to what really goes on in my life. One more year, after this year i will be back to just being a normal guy because every guy in college games was the star athlete at their high school. Which made me feel relieved but also worried that i would just disappear.
Im worrying for nothing, i have a whole year left to think about what I'm going to do. Maybe there will be more options at the end of high school. I don't know I'm hoping there is though.
I was dragged out of thought when i heard a familiar annoying voice come behind me, Kelly. She ran her hands across my shoulder blades, down my left arm and kept her hand there while she smiled at me.
Acting like i wasn't paying attention i moved my arm so that her hand would fall back to her side. "Tucker" she said acting like i was joking with her and she hit me lightly.
I took a deep breath then looked at my phone "I gotta go Kelly, ill talk to you later" i said not really having to be anywhere. I didn't want to be around my best friends girlfriend while she was acting like he didn't exist, i wasn't that kind of friend.
Shaking my head i turned the corner and ran into the quiet girl from my math class "Sorry" i said sticking my hand out to help her up off the floor. she was so small compared to me, no wonder she fell so easily. I scrathced the back of my blond hair with my other hand.
"Sorry was trying to get away for alittle" I said shrugging still holding my hand out but she just stared at me. i didn't see what was wrong with her, she wasn't hurt, and she didn't speak a different language since i had talked to her earlier.
"sor....sorry" she said looking up at my hand. She looked embarrassed about it even though i had caused her to fall on the ground.
I knew she wouldn't reach for my hand so i reach for hers. As i grabbed her left hand i glanced back to see if she was doing what other girls usually did. To my surprise she was still the same shade of pale peach as she was in math class.
"Its okay" she said standing up wiping off her jeans and fixing her shirt.
i leaned over grabbing her photo covered binder with a science book under it up off the floor. "Here" i said looking at them then handing them to her. There was something familiar about her but i couldn't put my finger on it.
"I'm Tucker" i said smiling as i said it.
"Yeah i know who you are, I'm Macy" she said pushing a strand of her blond hair behind her ear. She looked at the clock then back at me "Sorry, i have to go but we will talk about the project later" she said smiling. She closed her locker balancing her books in her left arm then walked away.
"Okay Macy!" i said loudly, smiling at her then noticing all the looks i had gotten from doing it. I had no idea why everyone cared so much about what i did and who i talked to. "whatever" i said shaking my head then walked to my computer class
