Lasso | Dwayne Robertson

47.

The next morning I woke up and decided to look good. I put on a cute outfit and straightened my hair then was out the door.

I stopped at my locker, but spotted Rick not too far away. I closed my locker, walking up to him

"Hey Rick, I'm sorry abo-"

"I gotta go. Bells gonna ring soon" He said walking away

"Rick what the hell?" I said as he walked away

"What was that about?" Julie asked

"Don't know. Told him I can't go to the dance and he freaked"

"You can't go?!"

"No, no dress"

"You can borrow one of mine!" She smiled

"You have another formal dress lying around here?"

"No.."

I smiled "It's no big deal Jules. I'll just go to the next one"

She nodded giving me a sorry look

"Well we don't wanna be late for Shakespeare's grandmother now do we?"

Julie rolled her eyes smiling "Of course not"

And we went to class. Boring Macbeth and stupid poems.

Then we went to second, then finally lunch

I sat down next to Les

"So have you ever thought about calling Stansson about those guys?"

I shrugged "No"

He furrowed his brows "Why not?"

"Because Dwayne chose not to believe me. There's no need to prove a point to someone who doesn't care enough to listen"

He nodded "But don't you want sweet revenge"

I thought for a moment "You're right. I do. But there's not much I can do from here, and I'd rather see the pain in their eyes, not hear it over the phone"

He laughed "That is the Kay we all know and love"

I smiled nodding, and taking a bite of my food

The bell rang and I went to throw away my trash. As I was walking out the door, I caught Rick staring at me. I gave him a dirty look before heading to 3rd.

3rd came and it was time for my test.

"Everyone get out a pencil and put away all notes and books. We will take the test now, you have all class" The teacher said

I got my pencil out and took a deep breath, looking at the paper. Then finally working up the confidence to start.

Surprisingly, it was not very hard. I didn't know maybe 4 or 5 questions? Go me.

4th flew by and it was finally time for practice.

We practiced hard and worked up a big ass sweat.

"Portman come to my office" Coach said stopping in the locker room, then leaving

I nodded, finishing changing and heading to his office

"What's up coach?"

"You took a test today"

"Yep. I think I did good"

I nodded slowly clicking a button in his mouse

"79%"

I smiled "No way"
