STEROTYPICAL JOCK
It just turned midnight when Leilani sank into her bed after another long night at the Japan House. She drifted off to sleep while thinking how being a waitress sucked.
Monday, 25 minutes of black eye shadow, a rushed breakfast and a ride on the bus that almost didn‘t happen. Off to the media center to chat with her anime friends. A funfilled 5 minutes then off to the cafeteria. She sits at the Goth table and talks with them til prep bashing comes up. Off table hopping from preps to nerds to outcasts to ghetto to finally the jocks. Pulls up a seat next to her best friend since 4th grade, Julia. Who seems to not have gotten the grass stains out of her jersey yet. She didn’t do such a great job fixing her natural honey blonde hair either. She looked up and saw Leilani coming with her artic sea blue eyes.
“You did great in the game Friday, Jules.” flipping her raven hair out of her face Leilani exclaimed. Almond shaped mahogany eyes, with perfectly even black eye shadow surrounding them like two elegant black oceans, eyed up a chocolate chip cookie.
“Thanks! How was work yesterday?” Julia breaking apart an orange with short nailed roughened lacrosse hands.
“Crappy!!! I almost missed the bus cause my makeup!” Leilani huffed downing a piece of cookie.
“I don’t see why you wear it you’re the prettiest girl in school! You’re Hawaiian!” Julia exasperatedly rolled her eyes and sips some chocolate 1% milk.
Marcus, the 5’9” olive tanned black curly haired sea green eyed quarterback, comes over and sits next to Leilani, his latest girlfriend who happens to be 4’9.5 in. of Hawaiian goddess.
“Hey don’t I get a kiss Lils” Mark hopefully jested.
“Mark you’re such a brat.” Leilani teased back
“Is that any way to talk to your man?” Mark mockingly replied with fake hurt
“You may have asked me out but I’m still the girl and I can hold out so no kiss for you.” playfully taunted Leilani
“Not fair” Mark exaggeratedly pouted crossed arms and everything.
“Marcus you heard the girl!” half jokingly and half serious said Julia, who is the only on who called him Marcus.
The bell rang with a peck on the cheek Leilani left Mark at the table and Julia following close behind. They had the same homeroom. Ms. Muckle was their advisor who they liked but still made some funny remarks about her name.
Wednesday afternoon 2:10, the bell was about to ring.
“Mark I told you I’m going to anime club!” Leilani heatedly remarked waving her hands as she does when upset or excited.
“Come on Leilani come to my football practice! You can watch me flex.” optimistically urged raising his eyebrow.
“Next time when it’s not on a Wednesday!” Leilani compromised
“Fine Lils you’ll just have to draw me later.” he provocatively hinted.
Anime club they’re about to pop in the Inuyasha, half human half dog demon, video when Lila, Nikki, and Kayleigh come over to Leilani. All with devious smiles.
“So when did you and Mark become a thing?” all three asked anxiously.
“Friday during the lacrosse game.” Leilani enjoyed giddily
“So there is a reason for games after all.” Nikki smiled mischievously
“Details!!” Lila cried excitedly
“Shush the movie is starting!” Leilani and Kayleigh in unison
Friday night at the bowling alley Mark and Leilani just got their cokes and pizza and were having a good time. She scored a 98 and Mark scored a 73 so far. It was her turn next but Mark stopped her first. Then Mark hugs her to him and kisses her. She gazes up into his eyes happily.
“You have practice Tuesday right?”
“Well it’s Thursday actually.” Mark replied calmly but a little guiltily
“But you said it was Tuesday.” defiantly upset Leilani accused
“Lils it was a mistake ok.” Then he leans in to kiss her Japanese fan birthmark on her collarbone.
“Ok. Well I have to work Tuesday at the Japan House anyway. You know it was because of that birthmark I fell in love with Japan.” slightly distracted and calmed.
“What you’ve been cheating on me with a country. How scandalous!” Mark acted hurt and shocked.
“You’re horrible Mark.” swatting him playfully
Thursday football practice, 3:45pm, more mud then grass already.
“Come on Mark get into it! Work those muscles!”
Ty, the dirty blonde hazel eyed center, whispered provocatively “hey Mark she is fine. Did she show you her “luau” yet?”
“No but I’m getting close.” Mark said confident in his wooing abilities with the ladies.
Just then he gets tackled and face planted. He gets up spitting mud.
Leilani turning a shade red from her Obsessive Compulsive disorder, which means she’s a perfectionist, she can’t stand messy things with a passion, she demanded stomping her foot “Mark be careful that’s white come here and take it off I’ll go wash it.”
“Lils are you crazy?! I’m in the middle of practice.” Mark replied bewildered
“Mark she’s a pretty face but nuts you’d better get in and out!” one of the wide receivers exclaimed not to nicely and with plenty of meaning in the locker room.
Later back at Julia’s house. Leilani started cleaning Julia’s room. She had some lacrosse gear scattered, an unmade bed and a disheveled closet.
“You know you don’t have to do that.” Julia said for what was the ten millionth time.
“Yeah but you know I’m OCD about neatness.” Leilani replied yet again.
“Well anyway tell me about practice.” She said all excited.
“Ok well here’s the picture I drew of him.” Leilani handed over the sketch she did of Mark.
“Wow! You are talented, you made him look so real and hott!” She said a little too enthusiastic but Leilani didn’t notice.
“It’s nothing, well Mark can run and throw real far.” replied Leilani admiringly
“Wow! I bet all the football guys were jealous of Mark and vise versa with the cheerleaders and you.” Julia teased with a hint of truthfulness and slightly jealous
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” she replied mischievously.
They both laughed till they were out of breath then popped in some popcorn and went onto the internet to browse and mess around.
Friday, English class, a discussion on careers and college options. The teacher, the most boring one for that matter, goes rambling on. Leilani passes a note back to Julia who sits behind her. The note said this is real boring but I like to hear I’ll be getting so much money once I’m a fashion designer! Julia wrote back I just better get that lacrosse scholarship to Harvard. Don’t worry, I’ll create you some new fashionable uniform and lend you money once I’m famous wrote Leilani.
At lunch Julia was sitting with Beth, 5’6” bleach blonde with teal eyes, the head cheerleader. Beth was a terrible gossip but Julia looked past that cause you could always have a good chat with her.
“Beth you ready for the upcoming game?” Julia inquired
“Yeah but I’m more ready to see Mark in action!” Beth hinted vulgarly
“Yeah me too he is nice.” Julia let slip.
“Oooh you’re crushing on him so bad!” Beth gloated pompously with a new tasty tidbit.
“Damn! Don’t tell Leilani please I’m begging you Beth!!!!!!!” compelled Julia with pleading eyes starting to tear.
“Wweeellll I heard they’re no longer an item any more.” Nonchalantly Beth tossed out there with intent on more gossip.
“No way you’re kidding! I’d know if that were true.” Julia disbelievingly stressed
Julia didn’t see Leilani the rest of the day and she was leaving town right after school to go to an anime convention. So Julia went to the football game alone with mixed feelings. But unfortunately gossip spreads like wildfire and met the ears of Mark. After the game, which they won, Julia went down to congratulate them like everyone else. The players went into the locker room. Julia hung around a little longer to say personally good job. Mark came out a little later when he heard he had a certain fan waiting.
“Hey you did great at the game.” Julia congratulated
“Thanks that’s good to hear from you.” Which makes her blush uncontrollably.
“You know I always thought you good game yourself.” Mark slyly flirted
“Marcus!” Julia yelled embarrassed, pleased, hopeful, concerned and disappointed.
“And you have gorgeous eyes and I always preferred blondes.” then he pulled her close and kissed her and didn’t let go but she didn’t try to pull away. Then he took her towards his car and offered her a “ride”. But she snapped out of it and thought about Leilani her best friend torn.
“I can’t Leilani she’s my best friend.” Julia pleadingly exclaimed
“She’s old news” Mark said indifferently
“No I’ll drive myself. I got to go!” Then she hurried away to her car. When she got home she felt so guilty even if they were broken up it was Leilani’s ex. She called her cell, she was going to tell her everything and beg for mercy she in no way thought she deserved.
“Leilani I’m sorry I called so late but I really need to talk to you.” Julia frantically apologized
“Ok what’s the matter?” Leilani asked worried
“Are you still dating Marcus?” Julia blurted
“Yeah but why?” a confused Leilani wondered
“Beth told me you broke up and well I like him and I slipped and told her by accident and some how I think he found out and he acted like you didn’t matter and he kissed me and I let him then he wanted to give me a lift and I couldn’t because you’re my best friend and he’d still be your ex and I’m so so sooo sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Jules calm down its ok I was going to break up with him any way tomorrow he’s a jackass!!” Leilani told her with all honesty
“He was trying to wine and dine me!” Leilani scoffed indignantly
“Are we still friends do you forgive me?” hopefully mumbled trough the hot tears welling up
“How could I not?! We’ve been friends since 4th grade but he’s gotta pay big time!!!!!” Irritability plotted Leilani with malicious intent for one Marcus Dueberry.
