Tracy's POV

When I got home I found Scola invading my mini fridge or should I say stealing my goodies.

"Put those down."I demanded.

She turned around slowly her hands full of snacks and her mouth stuffed with chips. She tried to talk but all that came out were muffled sounds. I rolled my eyes a habit I had developed lately and went into my closet to change. I came out wearing some very short black shorts and a flimsy top with no bra. I hated bras they were so constricting but I could not just go around without one.

Scola was now situated on my bed getting chip crumbs all over my quilt. I wanted to be angry at her but I needed her right now.

"Would you look at that the girls are out to play."She jokingly points at my visible boobs.

"Just shut up please. Go change into something more comfortable."

"Its one of those nights huh?"She nods and she runs to my closet.

We had clothes at each others rooms due to all the sleepovers. We deemed it more convenient than always carrying clothes over each time we had to visit each other. I grabbed a hoodie lying on one of the chairs in my room. I did not want to risk any more teasing from Scola.

"So what's eating you girlie." she asks resuming her position on the bed. She's wearing the same things as me and if it were another time I would criticize her but not now.

I sit cross legged opposite her on the bed before stretching my hand out and handing her fifty dollars. Her eyes bulge out if their sockets before she screams like a banshee and grabs the money from my hands.

I cover my ears and watch her jump on the bed up and down. After a few long minutes she quits screaming and settles back down.

" I knew those chocolates would do the trick." she says before realizing what she had said and gasps before covering her mouth.

"You knew Scola, all along." I'm angry my best friend went behind my back.

"Before you go all crazy on me listen to me first." she pleads.

"Fine and it had better be good. You went behind my back and..... Mmhdbshrkdb"she puts her palm over my mouth making the rest of my statement come out all wrong.

"Hush now." I peel her hand away from my mouth. "Christian came to me for help. I refused to help at first but he put up a good argument. All i did was give him a few pointers but he seemed to have a pretty good idea himself. Just give him a chance Trace i promise you won't regret it."

"But..." hand on my mouth again. This is getting old i think as i peel it off.

"No buts girlie. You giving me this fifty dollars must mean something so please do us both a favor and act upon those feelings." she pleads.

In a way she is right i have always had feelings for Christian no matter how hard i tried to deny them. Am i really willing to put my heart out there? Maybe it was worth all the risk.

" Please say something I'm dying here."

"Okay Christian will get his chance but he messes up one time and I'm gone." i warn.

She squeals excitedly and pulls me into one of her famous hugs and i return it patting her back awkwardly.

" This is so great. We can go on double dates..." she rambles on.

"Whoa whoa there. Slow down tiger. I haven't even made my move yet."

"Pish posh. Before i forget we're all hanging out all weekend at my house." she says before darting out of my room before i can catch her.

When i did catch her we had a food fight that wasn't such a great idea because my dad found us and made us clean it all up.

*************************
The next day i didn't see Christian before class which is when i had planned to talk to him. And i always failed to catch him before we went to the next class. I was in desperate need to talk to him but there is no way i was risking gossip of us spreading by talking to him in class.

By lunch time i was frustrated and ended up picking up food even i wouldn't dream of eating, a salad.
Everyone was at the table besides him. Why is it he is always there when i  don't  want to talk to him but never there when i do need him.

" Hey Jesse." i call out to him at the table.

"Talk to me." he replies winking.

"Save that for Scola. Where is Christian and no smart remarks or ill make you cry." i warn.

" Jeez do you ever relax." i made to grab at him but Scola held me back.

"Sorry he's at the court." he rushed out hiding behind his girlfriend. Smart move.

Without another word i grabbed my backpack and stormed off towards the gym. Today id driven my car because for once in my life i wore shorts to school. They weren't white high waisted shorts reaching mid thigh. I completed this look with a  loose black  tank top that exposed my stomach if i raised my hands or bent. My hair was in a loose pony tail and my boots were replaced with black puma enzo sneakers and knee length black socks. I hand not bothered with a jacket it was warm out.

I decided to pass by my locker and change into something more comfortable for gym. I hadn't worked out this morning so some exercise would be good. I changed in the girls locker room into a grey gym bra, some black work out shorts than ended just a little below my ass and white adidas sneaker. I loved my boots but they were too heavy.

The door to the gym was open and i could here shoes squeaking against the floor and a ball dribbling. I walked slowly and watched Christian do his thing. He was half naked sporting only a pair of basketball shorts and a pair of Air Jordans. I could see the waist line of his white Calvin Klein boxers showing over his shorts and i licked my  lips. His body was on full display and i looked like really looked. His back was turned to me and man was it a good back to look at. His shoulder blades became more prominent when he shot a basket and his muscular hands bulged out. Christian had a models body and a fine ass too.

" Take a picture it will last longer." his voice startled me from my eye raping and i almost fell. His back was still turned to me so i still don't know how he could have known i was there.

"You have a unique scent and i would pick it from a crowd." he answers me as if reading my mind.

I was about to give a smart ass remark when he turned around and i got a view of his abs  and my mouth went dry  One.. Two.. Three...... Eight... I had always had a crush on Christian even before puberty hit and he was just a scrawny looking kid. But now that he had a body of Adonis i was ready to jump his bones. I quickly put a lid on that can before i acted upon my lustful thoughts.

"You and i have to talk." i said quickly walking towards him. I didn't miss how his eyes roamed my body approvingly.

"That will be a first but am all ears."

"Don't even try and look surprised. This is what you wanted after all the trouble you went through. The chocolates and getting Scola to talk about me." i accuse.

" She didn't tell me anything i didn't already know." he smirks.

"Think you know so much don't you."

"Ask a matter of fact i do more than you can imagine." he defends.

" Wanna test that theory?" i ask walking closer.

" Bring it on" he smirks.

" What's my favourite colour?"

"You like red best but also prefer black, grey, white and purple." he sounded so sure of himself.

I was impressed but maybe that was too easy.

" Best food?"

" It depends on your mood but three that top the list is steamed white rice and fried chicken your dad's recipe, burger from MacDonald's and a meat lovers pizza from pizza hut." dang he was good so i went for the kill.

"My pets name?" he looked puzzled and now it was my turn to smirk. Gotcha. It didn't last long though.

" You don't have any pets. You hate cats and birds because of the poop you have to clean up. You couldn't get a dog because you wanted a bulldog and your dad refused saying it would get drool everywhere." i was in awe of how well he knew me

He really did know me which meant that he paid attention. It was either that or he was stalker. I grabbed the ball that had rolled towards me dribbled thrice and made a perfect basket.

" Damn there is literally nothing your terrible at." he says gaping at me.

" Well there is one thing i failed at." i say biting my lower lip.

" Yeah and what is that?" he asks curiously looking at me.

" Keeping you out of my heart." i whisper.

"I didn't quite catch that." he steps closer towards me.

"Nothing. I just came here to tell you that i loved the chocolates they were a nice gesture but..." his face fell after that. He hadn't even let me finish but i guess he was used to turning me turning him down. " Christian you didn't even let me finish."

He looks up hopefully and nods for me to continue. " But i don't know if i can go back to where we left off but i do want to be your friend again.... or even more." i muttered the last part.

I shrieked when i was lifted off the ground and spun around in the air. My hands were wound tight around his neck. What if he dropped me? I knew i wasn't light.

"Christian put me down am too heavy." i protest wriggling to get down.

"Oh please your actually too light. Do you even eat?" he still put me down though. I could feel my breasts rub against his chest as i slid down. My hands were still around his neck and I couldn't seem to look away from his captivating eyes.

He tucked a stray strand behind my ear "You truly are the most beautiful girl i have ever laid my eyes on." he whispers.

Way to ruin the moment Christian. I pull away hooking my hands on my shorts back pocket.

"You shouldn't say stuff like that." i warned.

"I'm just stating the truth."

I had to figure out something to diffuse the awkward silence that spread.

"So whats this i hear about the four of us hanging out this weekend." i was still skeptical about those plans.

"It was Scola's idea. I had plans with Jesse but they wanted to hang out together and she also had plans with you so we decided to all hang out together." i could literally here the begging dripping from his voice for me not to say no. But Scola had already talked me into it.

"As long as nothing over the top happens like turning it into a party then am in." i have never seen Christian smile so wide before.

"I'd pick you up again but i don't think you would appreciate that."

" Touché . Anyway I've gotta ask? Why are you practicing in the middle of the day?" i ask picking up a ball.

" We have a game next Friday and since I'm the team captain i need to put in more effort than the rest." he explains.

" Well am sure you guys will do great." i dribble the ball before making another basket.

" How come you don't join any sports team in the school. Your good at practically everything." he also picks up another ball dribbles and makes a basket.

"Joining a team means having to deal with people and am not a peoples person." its my turn to make a basket.

" In a way i do understand what you mean. Being in the highest social circle in school has shown me that nobody is ever real with themselves. The guys thinks with theirs dicks and the girls are only ever thinking of ways to get into guys pants. Finding a real friend is like finding a needle in a stack of needles."

" Your preaching to the Calvary brother. It's why Scola is the only real friend i have." he gives me a look and i roll my eyes. " Well you and Jesse are another addition." he seems content with the answer i give him.

We continue teasing each other and playing basketball while catching up for the rest of the lunch period. Its was much more fun than i expected and i can't wait for this weekend. I had really missed Christian and even though Scola and i were close Christian and i had a much bigger bond. Only time would tell if we could recover it. And i looked forward to all of it.
