Chapter ten: Take two

Chapter ten: Take two (Faith's POV)

"Are you ready?" he asked while turning to me. 

"Yeah, take two." I sighed before tightening my ponytail and grabbing my bag. He got out of the car, jogged up to my side and got the door for me. "Thank you," I smiled as we began walking inside the building. When we got in, we went to our lockers which conveniently were opposite to each other. 

"Faith?" he asked while walking over to me. 

"Yeah?" I asked. I saw as people slowed down their pace to eavesdrop and get something new to talk about and I can't complain because that's pretty much what we planned to do. 

"What are you doing this weekend?" he asked bluntly. 

"Probably cleaning up after the game, why?" I asked while placing my books in my bag. 

"Wait speaking of the game uh- will you be there?" he asked while leaning on the locker next to mine. 

"Yeah, I'll be there." I nodded. 

"Would you maybe wanna grab a bite after the game?" he raised his eyebrows. 

"Th-this Friday? After the game?" I was a little surprised because we did not plan this. 

"Mm-hmm," he nodded. 

"Yeah sure, I would love to." I smiled before turning to him as I closed my locker. 

"Can Faith Hughes please report to the office? Faith Hughes to the office please?" the PA system announced. 

I sighed, "It's probably my mom, I'll see you in class?" I asked while walking back to the office. 

"See ya!" he replied. I made my way to the office. 

"Hi, I was called?" I asked Mary. She works at the desk. 

"Mrs. Hughes is looking for you," she replied, glancing up at me for a fraction of a second before going back to vigorously going back to typing. I walked into my mom's office. 

"You called?" I peered my head in. 

"Oh yeah, step inside," she called me in. "I wanted to let you know, I'm getting the bleachers cleaned on that side today so just- drop by after school with Alex and make sure they're the way we planned, okay?" she asked. 

"Sure, anything else?" I asked. 

"I invited the Ryders for dinner tonight," she said casually. 

"What?" I asked in shock. 

"The Ryders. For dinner," she repeated. 

"I heard what you said. W-why?" I questioned. 

"Well, you and Alex seem to be getting along really well and it's been a minute since his mother and I met. Your dad can talk to his dad and now you two can talk too," she shrugged. "You can drive back with Alex and then meet us at dinner if you'd like?" she suggested. 

"I think I'll be there to get ready and everything at the usual time," I huffed. 

"Getting ready, huh?" she teased. 

"Bye, mom!" I said before rolling my eyes and walking out the door, and to my class. I was walking down the hall and to my class when I stopped in my tracks. 

I feel like I'm forgetting something. What am I forgetting? 

While I stood there in the middle of the hallway like an idiot, the sound of clacking heels approached me. Unfortunately, I was too slow to get the hell out of there. I stared ahead as Cody turned the corner.
