Secrets

Chapter 2

Chance

“Dude, I can not believe Cameron told you all those things at that party. Like you have so much information now. So does that mean you are finally going to make your move on her?” Jett huffs out as he over head presses. Chance shakes his head not even answering his best friend as the things he learned at the party ran through his head. Wow the things you learn at these parties on campus can really help or hurt you with somethings. “I mean dude! Did I tell you that Cameron is a great kisser. I almost got to first base before you had to interrupt and honk the horn at me. You could have thrown you buddy a bone and stayed quiet.” Jett was still going on and on about how I finally got him to come to the truck that night. I just did not want him to go in and wale up Lisa. That would have been the icing on the night if that had happened.

“Jett you know you will have another chance with Cameron but their softball season is starting soon and they both needed their rest. I mean you don’t want to get the girl in trouble by making her so tired she could not even function the next day right! Now come spot me for my reps so that we can get back to the apartment it has been a really long day today.” I throw a towel in his face to make him get up so that I can then start on my reps. As I did my reps all I could think about was Lisa. I knew that she was not on the softball team but she did live with Cameron. Lisa was quiet and a little nurdy but in a hot girl next door way. She was to me the one girl on campus that wanted nothing to do with me. Since I have been here I have had a thing for Lisa. I mean it is not like I have stalked her in order to find out things. Ok so maybe I have been kind of stalking her but in my defense I am not brave enough to go right up to her and ask her out.

“Hey Chance you have done like forty reps already. I think you are done. Stop dreaming in your head! You have got to get your head in the game our final game of the season is this weekend and we really need to do good or coach is going to hand us our asses on a tray. “ Jett just keeps going on and on as we walk to the showers. “I mean you are the star player and all for the team but even you make mistakes. It is not your fault you threw four interceptions during the game on Saturday. I mean dude your head must have been somewhere else.” Jett turned on the shower squeling as the cold water came pouring out right on top of him.

I tuned Jett out again as I started thinking of all the things that I did wrong on Saturday surfaced in my head AGAIN. But it was not long before the lovely Lisa started creeping back into my brain. Why can I not get her out of my head? I do not even know her last name or even if she has a boyfriend. The only reason I know her is that she is in one of my classes on campus. She is so smart and during class she is able to answer all the questions that the teacher ask. All I can seem to do is stare at her. It is to the point that I am unable to even take notes during class because all my paper has drawings of her on them.

“Chance are you even listening to a thing I am saying? Come on man lets go get some food I am starving.” Jett walks over to me and starts pushing me out of the field house. Wow I do not even remember getting dressed. I guess some things really are automatic. The two of us make our way to the only decent diner on campus. As we walk through the door some of our team mates have already gotten a booth. “Jett !!!  Chance !! Come on over and sit with us there is plenty of room.” Our team mates yell across the dinner. We both raise our arms to show that we heard them. We then make our way through the diner to sit with them to eat. As soon as we sat down at the table with the other players the bell over the door signled that another customer was coming into the diner. Something made me turn my head to see who it was that had come in. I don’t know why but it just happened. There standing in the door way with the sunlight around her was the one girl who I could not get out of my mind, Lisa.

“Hey dude isn’t that the girl that you day dream about all the time? Lets call her and her friend over here to sit with us.” Jett starts to raise his hand in a signal to get the girls to come over. Before he can get his hand up too high I have dive bombed his arm.

“No don’t call them over here. Jett you know that I am not ready yet. Just hold your horses. I will make MY MOVE when I am ready. So just stop.” I am practually in Jetts lap as I hold down his arm. I glance across the diner to see that Lisa and Cameron are looking at our table and giggling at Jett and I. As soon as I see the small smile on Lisa’s face I stop and just stair in a daze. She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Her curly semi long dark brown hair around that sweet angelic face. Her apple green eyes that I could just look at all day long and her body. Most guys would not like a girl with a body like hers but to me she has the perfect curves her body is like a 1950s pin up girl.

“HEY DUDE!!!!  CHANCE!!!  You have to wake up man!!!” Jett was shaking my shoulders and screaming in my ear.
