Head Bitch In Charge(Jordan Baker)

Night to Remember

I walk to practice after my last class and look in the parking lot. I see Jordan with the HC of Hawthorne football team. They start kissing.

I feel a pang in my heart. We're just friends. Nothing more.

So why does it feel like someone just ripped my heart out?

I step into the boys' locker room. I gag. "Yo Coach B?" He turns to me. "You can't be in here?" "One I lost a bet. Second Mrs Bailey needs you. She got that vein stickin out her forehead. Third none of what I'm looking at right now is even remotely tempting. You all disgust me in every way shape and form." I state. "Okay. I'll be back fellas."

"Now I don't know about yall but I ain't ugly." They all agree with Spencer. "Toxic masculinity. Check. Look at that only one box left before your all officially brainless jocks." "Okay. Ya get out." "I can check it right now if someone tells me what it is," I state.

Spencer and Jordan shove me out softly. "HAPPY HOMECOMING!"

I walk into the cafe where Spencer works at. I see the boys. I sit next to Asher. "What up boys?" "Hey G." "Hey Any." "What up Gem!"

"Spencer dude take a break man," Jordan states. "You've been working since we got here." He states. "I can't am we extra busy today." We nod.

He hands them the pizza. "You have a pizza my heart Gabby. Be my date to HoCo? Eee!" She hugs him. "Did I just die? Did I just die and go to actual hell?" I ask. "What too corny for you two?" "No no, y'all just take this homecoming thing real seriously that's all." He states. "It's weird is what it is. It's just a dance." I state. "What you don't have dances in Crenshaw?" Asher asks. "No, we do it's just not that deep." "So who are you taking to homecoming and uh Gemini's off limits," JJ states. "You're going with together? I thought you got back with Shawn?" "Yes. Shawn knows and it's none of your business." I state. He looks hurt. "Nobody man I'm rollin' solo." "Lone wolf." I howl. "You gotta stop doin' that fo somebody put a leash on yo ass." I roll my eyes.

"Aww. Too many options huh? Don't wanna break any hearts?" Jordan asks. "Yeah, something like that." He states. "I gotta get back." "Before you go can I get-" "I know your order." He states.

"You know I can respect going solo." "yeah?"

"Better than fraternizing with the enemy. Riptide was it?" I ask. Throwing maybe a bit of shade. "Here we go again. It's Ripley. She is just a girl. Ok? I like her." "So?" I ask stealing one of Asher's fries. "Who cares where she goes to school?" "Traitor." "Trifflin ass," I state.
