Benched Between The Two Captains

CHAPTER 3

Ivy's POV

The final bell rang which meant it was time to go home.

Finally home.

I packed my books immediately and went straight downstairs to my locker to get my backpack.

Once I get home, I'm gonna crawl into my bed and take the longest nap ever known to man.

But as I reached there I found rich boy Nathan Swift casually leaning on my locker.

And guess who was with him.

It was giddy boy.

Great.

They were practically sweating as if they'd just ran a marathon... but the thing that ticked me off wasn't because they were leaning on my locker.

It's the fact that asshole Nathan looked even more handsome.

The sweat was really nasty but calling him handsome made my stomach twist...not the good kind, the type that makes you wanna throw up.

I shrugged and made my way to my locker.

"Hey jerk... you're in my way."

Gideon immediately looked at me then smiled as he looked up at Nathan.

"Hey Nathan do you hear something?"

He asked as he put a hand over his ear as he 'tried' to listen to me.

Nathan immediately got the message as he played along smoothly, "I don't think I hear anything."

A dry laugh escaped my lips,"haha very funny,I don't have energy to waste on you both so move it."

Nathan immediately laughed and said,"oh wait I think I do hear something... it kinda sounds like dying bird."

Oh that did it.

A dying bird?

My voice?

Then before any of them could register my movement,I slammed my feet onto Nathan's feet with so much force.

He screamed as he began hopping on one foot, "OW!"

He started hopping like a clown and it was soo hilarious to watch.

Gideon immediately grabbed my books and threw them onto the ground.

"Who do you think you are huh, you think you're the main character in this story?... shameless girl."

He was calling ME shameless?

I slowly bent down and picked one up, without hesitation I swung the book on his face with brutal force.

He stumbled back clutching his nose with one hand as he groaned in pain.

Meanwhile Nathan was still hopping on his feet like a little child who couldn't put his socks on.

I immediately burst out laughing. "That'd teach the both of you not to mess with me..."

Nathan hissed in pain as he tried to steady himself, "you think this is funny huh Ashford?"

I couldn't stop laughing, it was as if his anger only kept on making even this more hilarious.

"Funny?, no funny is an understatement..."

I paused.

" I find it hilarious, seriously you guys should go join on the circus, I'm sure they'd love a couple of clowns like you both."

I kept on laughing as I shoved Gideon out of my way as I got my things anything out of my locker and waved them ",toodles."

I didn't even bother to wait for their reply,I just scurried off away.

As I got out of the school gate I felt so pleased with myself.

"Good job Ivy, that'll teach them..."

My little celebration was cut short when someone tapped on my shoulders.

"Oh my gosh!?"

I literally jumped on my feet as I turned around and found a girl giving me the biggest smile.

She looked adorable, maybe she was a junior?

Her uniform looked kinda different from mine.

And judging from how her uniform looked, she was probably rich like the rest.

Another rich brat?

Man, life sucks.

I wanted to tell her off immediately because the thought of dealing with another rich brat made my stomach twist.

"Look I'm really..."

Before I could finish my sentence, she stretched out her hand excitedly.

"Omg Ivy Ashford, I've heard so much about you."

She grabbed my hand and shook it really hard.

"I'm a huge fan."

Fan?

What exactly is happening.

On my first day and I already have a fan?

Before I could muster a word she dropped my hand and gave me the biggest puppy eyes ever.

"Can we be friends pleaseeeeeeee, I swear I'm nice... I'm really not like the others..."

"We'll have sleepovers, we'll do each other's hair and we'll have study sessions togetherrrr"

I stepped back a little bit trying to process whatever she just said.

"Whoa slow down, first of all who are you and second of all what do you mean by you're my fan?"

She looked at me confused,then she smiled.

"Oh you don't know?"

"Know what?"

What exactly was she talking about?

"You've been trending even before you transferred here."

The words hit me.

Before I came here?

Then she continued.

"Everyone knows who you are, you're Gideon's ex girlfriend."

This was definitely not how I imagined my first day when I woke up this morning.

Because genuinely, what am I supposed to do in a situation like this.

She immediately pulled me out my thoughts as she held both my hands this time.

"Anyways forget all that, let's be friends pleaseeeeeeee."

I immediately removed my hands from hers, "tch become friends? Why?"

"I suppose giddy boy must've told you lies and probably the entire school hates me...so why would you wanna be friends with me?"

She giggled like I said something funny.

"It's because I don't care about whatever nonsense Gideon says, I hate him so much, he's sooo annoying and he thinks he's above everyone else..."

"And let's not even get started on Nathan, both of them are soo annoying"

Wow.

This was unexpected.

So someone actually hated them?

Interesting.

Maybe becoming friends with her won't be such a bad idea after all.

I smiled.

"Twin," I said as I grabbed her hands gently.

Maybe this was my chance to finally have my first real friend.

That thought alone made me happy.

She immediately locked arms around me as we began walking," I was inspired when someone actually stood up to the footballs team captain, you have my respect for that Ivy."

I stopped.

Football captian?

I looked into her huge adorable eyes.

"Say that again... Nathan is the football captian for our school?"

She nodded happily and continued dragging me along.

I remained in my thoughts as she kept on mumbling things I didn't quite hear.

Nathan was the school's football captian?

I hate my life so much.

The football captian has an unexpected beef with a normal student.

"I'm so dead", I whispered to myself as I realized how big this situation was.
