Please read my Story!!!!

I slammed the locker door hard but it still bounced back. ‘Jesus Christ can this day get any worse?’ I looked around checking that no one saw me talking to myself knowing that it was futile.
Having to carry my books around all day was bad enough let alone getting my locker key at the end of the day and finding it wouldn’t close.
I slammed the door one more time before giving up, my free hand pushing on the door; the other carrying the stack of books needed for homework.
All of a sudden the books slipped to the floor making them scatter across the alleyway.
I bent down retrieving the books and was just about to come up when my head made contact with the locker door, still open.
‘Rough day?’ a deep husky voice sounded next to me, it was a boy.
My vision suddenly came back and I smiled back at the lad.
He was cute, I thought. Nice lopsided smile, kind of a cheeky and great hair, dark and floppy. I took a quick look down at his body, vested t-shirt with a khaki shirt on top and baggy jeans.
Realising I was staring I looked up at him and answered.
‘First day actually, but yeah, still rough.’ He smiled at me and I looked up into his eyes.
‘New? I’ll give you a tour of the school if you want one, well, if you haven’t already had one?’ he smiled again.
‘Yeah, okay if I can get my locker to shut, it wont budge…’ I replaced my books steadily into my hands and gave him a questioning look.
‘Hold on there’s a knack to it…’ he shunted his tanned and bulky (obviously from working out) shoulder at the door but it still popped open. ‘Okay your locker is really bummer but you can borrow mine for a while, I’ll see the principal tomorrow for you, get it sorted.’
God, that smile is sexy, I thought.
‘Sounds great, if you’re sure…I’m Katie by the way, Katie Telford.’ I started pulling my other books out of the locker as I spoke.
‘I’m Josh Hartnett, so what about that tour, we could drop off your books on the way?’ he grabbed the remaining books out of the locker and some off my stack and we walked down the hall.
Our arms brushed as we strolled along.

He took us all around the school and the last stop was the sports hall. In there was some boys playing basketball, one of them noticed Josh and came over, away from the group.
‘You can’t bring your date in here Josh, it isn’t very romantic and besides one of us might take her off your hands.’ The boy winked at me and placed a playful punch on Josh’s arm.
Josh replied smartly and took the ball from his hands.
‘You couldn’t beat a girl at basketball let alone pull one. Anyway Katie isn’t my date, she’s new here and I’m just being friendly.’ he bounced the ball and added to me ‘ this is Greg Good also known as ‘Gooz’.’
‘Oh yeah?’ Gooz questioned back.
Josh was just about to leave when I stepped in the conversation.
‘Come on then,’ I said jokily to Gooz ‘ you think you can beat a girl, I’ll play basketball, Josh do you want to play on my side? Lets show Gooz how rubbish he is at basketball!’
Josh high fived me and took off his shirt. I pulled off my blue sweater and tied up my long wavy hair.
‘Your goal, our goal,’ I indicated with my hands ‘15 minutes each end, bring it on!’

I turned around and Josh winked at me. The game suddenly came to and we were 5 points I was at the point of shooting the goal until the bell went for the end of the game. I turned and dropped the ball, put up my hands indicating we’d won.

Josh came up to me and pulled me into a hug, being pretty ticklish I squirmed around and tickled Josh back. Suddenly I was face to face with him and we both lowered in for a kiss.
But it stopped there as a voice sounded quite shrilly behind us.
‘Josh, you said you’d meet me at the fountain 30 minutes ago so we could go for a coffee. I was getting worried. If you wanted to play basketball im sure we could go to my house…there has to be a racket for that sort of thing around somewhere?’

It was the girl I had spoken to before, but speaking was a joke, she spoke I listened, I could hardly get a word in edgeways.
She was tall and had blonde hair down to her waist. Her legs were slender and tanned and looked great inside a pink skirt that only she could get away with.

Josh jumped away from me immediately and rushed off towards the girl.
He took a last glance back; it looked pleading as if he couldn’t stand the girl. Picking up his shirt he left with the girl in his wake.

I didn’t want to interfere with Gooz and the other game before so I went to collect my stuff off the bench.
‘Katie?’ I turned and saw it was Gooz.
‘After that with Josh I don’t think Taylor will be very happy, she likes him a lot.’ He passed me a bottle of water; he must have noticed the sweat on my head. ‘I’d stay out of her way if I was you, Okay?’
He didn’t look threatening, just concerned.
‘What is she going to do, Knock me out with her hair?’ I was almost laughing.
‘Trust me, she is evil, has no mercy…take care.’ He gave me one more concerning glance and left.

I took a huge gulp of the water and left. She can’t be that bad, I thought. The thought disappeared quickly from my mind as I climbed the steps for the exit.

What happens next?! Does Katie go after Josh, despite words of caution? Does Taylor throw bricks through Katie's windows, flatten her tires and chase after her with a machete?!

Don't leave us hanging!!

Cute. I like the topless basketball (joking) and him pulling her in for a victory hug. [img]graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]
