chapter 9 - the tournament
Chapter 9
We run into the school and into the office. We barge in at the beginning of the announcements start. "Hey!" Ruler tells into the speaker, getting everyone's attention in the halls and in the class rooms. "Guess what time of the year it is", shield says. From the office you can hear the cheers from the hallway. "Yep it's that time of the year. It's the annual lacrosse tournament! This year it's held on my street. The games begin this evening so get your teams together! And you know what they say, if you can't play nice, play lacrosse!!!!" Cheers erupt from the hallways and we head out towards the hall.
Everyone is scrambling to get people on their teams once we get ion the halls. "And everyone remember, girls can enter, and if you are you have to wear a skort!" I yell. I walk to my locker as the boys hand out fliers. Sky walks up and hands me a bag. "These are your jersyes, so give them to the boys when you can and I will be there to cheer you on." Sky says with a smile. "Thanks sky, and plz don't yell out to the crowd that ' those are my best friends' , like you did last year." I say to her in an authorities tone.
••••••••••••••••
"So what's the lacrosse tournament?" River asks me. "Wow you literally know nothing about this town", I say to him. "Well , it's been a major event for years here, started when I was in sixth grade. You get a team together in one day and can do whatever and come up with team names. I do it every year and the whole school goes, even the ones who don't go to any school or social events." I explain to him. "You play the boys version of lacrosse, and you play until there's the final two. Whoever wins gets bragging wrights and an awesome medal, and a lacrosse jacket and the whole team gets a scholarship to whatever school they want to go to. The event gets sponsored by the businesses in the town."
"Wow it's a pretty big deal."
"Yep. Did you get the wire that I asked for?" I ask him "Yep", he says as he hands me a roll of wire. "Hey, Mr.Fair, can I use one of the burners to melt the glass?"
"Sure", he says with a smile, knowing I had a reason. I went over to the melters to melt the glass to put into molds. I turn it on and put the glass in it. "What are you doing?" River asks. "You'll see." I say and walk back to my seat.
When art is over I head to my locker and head towards the lunch room. This is the only time I ever come to the lunch room, mostly because the guys ask me to be on their team and such.
I walk through the doors and hear drums playing. Diesel walks up and says, "May I have the honour of having you on my team."
"I have to be I'm the captain." I retort sassily. "Here are the jerseys, and the names are on the back. Thank sky later." I say and we walk out of the lunch room. "Ok shield your number 1, scar your number 2, riker your number 3,.I'm number 4, shield your number 5. We all good with our numbers?" I ask. "Yeah". "Ok, good."
We walk to my locker and hang out when sky comes running and jumping. She reaches us and squeals, making us cover our ears. She catches her breath and in one breath she says, "heysoyourplayinginagameagainsttheplasticsandtheyhaveallthecheaterjerkfaces."
"Ok say that slower and clearer and I don't know breath a little", I explain. "Ok,.I said , hey so your playing against the plastics and they have all the cheater jerk faces."
"Have you seen them play sky. They are as slow as snails trying to impress girls and failing miserably at it." I explain to her. She visibly relaxes. "Wait we need to announce that the forms are do by last period." I say and we race towards the office. We run in and go to the intercom thingy room. We press the button to speak and start, " Ok! People! For the lacrosses the forms are due by last period. You need the names, six players, and a team name. Got it! The forms are to be turned in to sky's locker. If you don't know where it is there will be a sign, and she will be collecting them. Ok have a good day, I guess?". I say as I end my speech. The bell rings and we rush to our classes. I run with riker to music, and we get there at the same time as our teacher gets there. "Hey Mr. Black, how's the orchestra going?" I ask. "Terrible! Terrible I tell ya! Most of them can't make a sound, and if they can it's terrible!"
"They'll get better eventually." I say hopefully. "In this case, eventually means never in a million years." He says and grunts. We walk to our seats, when someone walks in. I look up to see it freaking Mr. Idiot. "Seriously" I exclaim to riker. "He's in freakin every single one of my classes. Good thing we get to hang out with G later, or I'd be cussin like a sailor." I exclaim to him. "OK class today we have a special quest here to sing and u can learn from her. Our guest is Becky G, and she is going to sing, break a sweat." She walks on stage and Riker and I wave to her, and she waves back. The music starts and she starts.
"Baby break a sweat
Break a sweat
Baby break a sweat.
Don't get tired yet
Tired yet
Don't get tired yet.
Baby break a sweat
Break a sweat
Baby break a sweat.
Keep on doin it

All right all right
If you wanna get my body
Better blow my mind
Ok, ok

Baby break a sweat
Break a sweat
Baby break a sweat.
Keep on doin it
Doin it
Keep on doin it."
She finishes and we all clap. "Ok", Mr. Black says. "You can get pictures and auto graphs if you like just don't tackle her." He says and some kids bring out a table and chair. They hand her a Sharpie, and people start running up to her. We wait a little bit until it calms down and then we walk up to her. "Sup, G. So what did you do after we left."
"Nothing much, really. I went home and video chatted Demi." She explains. "So how did you get roped in to coming to this prison?" I ask her. "I had nothing to do so I was like 'hey why don't I go to wolf's school so we can hang out'."
"Hey what about me. I'm the one that was left out of the conversation here. You don't come to visit me. I'm truly hurt G, truly hurt." Exclaims Riker. G slaps him upside the head, " so I'm going to the lacrosse event. I'm also performing, so I'll see you and cheer for you. "
"Wait", someone says. We look back to see its River. "You guys know each other. How?!"
I groan, "Dude, I've known her since.....", I count on my fingers, " uh I think 14 years at the least." I explain to him. "Wow I didn't know that".
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me." I say and return to my seat. I ignore the feeling of him looking at the back of my head. He has no idea I think to myself. I pull out my note book and start working on the sketch I had started earlier for the band t-shirts. G comes over and sits with us and watches as I draw and gets to debating with Riker that acoustic guitars and better than electric guitars. I roll my eyes at their foolishness.
..........
As I walk out of the dance room River walks up to me. "Don't we have practice today?" He asks. "Well I have a job I have to get to and I need to finish a school project. So, we'll just work longer next week." I say and walk past him, but he steps in front of me. " Please. I need to dance sometime. You know what, I challenge you to a dance off." He says with a smirk. " Fine, but only because I will beat you and get to make fun of you even more for losing."
"Chub chub!" I call. He runs over to me. "Dance off I'm on it." He states and pulls out his phone to find a perfect song. " I'm going to go find my shoes and meet me outside." I state and head back to the room. I find my tennis shoes, when south and sky run in. " We heard your doing a dance battle. We're doing teams. His best friend and some of the guy dancers are with him. And do you have your mask?" She asks.
" Yes I have my mask, no lets go beat preppy." We walk down the hall, and walk out the doors to outside. I see he chose some of the best guy dancers here. " Great choice. I see you chose some of my best guy dancers."
" Ok lets get started. I'll video tape this, and let south post it on the website later." The music turns on and I start.
" Late night she on fire. Calling me from numbers I don't recognize. Wonderin if there's somebody else in the room. She says that I'm crazy, nah baby its you.
Shows up to fill her cup. I know all she wants is just to get my love. I wish we could be just like jonny and june. She cut out my heart and left me in the room." By this time we attracted a croud and some papparatzie. Out of no where G runs through the croud and joins us. By the look on the guys faces we could tell that they were suprized.
"And I know I should quit her. And I'd do it if i could. Shes a hot mess, but I confess. Dang she got me good.
Cuz I love them bad girls". At this we swing our hair, " doin bad things. Lookin hot with an attitude. Love them bad girls, like a bad dream. Shouldn't want them but I do. Singing ooooo, ooooo, all the bad girls sing, ooooo, ooooo. Yeah, all the bad girls singing.
And I can't help it no. Dang it feels good when your messin with a bad girl." At this the guys start, " she got a body like a fast car, movie star. I'd do any thing to be her body guard."
The music stops and they boys celebrate in their 'victory'. I walk up to river. "You win, for now." The music starts again and us girls do a grand finale. "Cuz I love them bad girls. Doin bad things. Lookin hot with an attitude. Love them bad girls, like a bad dream. Shouldn't want them but I do. Singing, ooooo, all the bad girls singing, ooooo, all the bad girls singing."
We finish with doing back hand springs, then ariels. " The crowd cheer, "like I said, for now." I turn around and grab my bag. By this tons and tons of paparazzi have showed up. I push through the crowds with sky and we head towards my work.
Once we get there I hear something shatter. "Oh, Cecelia." I say with a sigh.
