“Bye, Mom and Dad,” Heather and I say, walking out the door.
It didn't take us long to get to school because it was only five blocks from home. I am not looking forward to this. Heather and April both get out of my truck. I tell them to go ahead, and I’ll meet up with them later. I sit there, thinking about my old friends and school, really wanting to be there and not here. Instead, I was the new kid for my senior year. Damn, I hate this shit.
Getting out of my truck, I look around for Heather, wondering if she went into school already. I see her standing with two other girls who, from behind, look hot. Well, damn, it didn’t take her long to meet new people. I yell out my sister’s name. She isn’t even paying attention, but the other two girls turn around. Both of them are hot, but the tall one is really hot.
Heather’s looking at something so I follow her gaze and see a bunch of guys laughing…except one. He looks like one girl standing with my sister. I try calling out for Heather again, but she still doesn’t acknowledge me. Damn, sis, get a grip. The one girl turns back to Heather, trying to get her attention. I'm almost standing behind her when she finally looks at me. “Oh, hey, Jase. Sorry, I didn’t hear you. This is Maggie and Amy. I just met them,” Heather says, pointing at them.
Didn't April say something about meeting Maggie last night? April was right. This girl is beautiful…no, gorgeous. She looks like a Cover Girl model. I think I’m going to like this school, after all. Heather looks back at me. “This is my brother, Jase.” They both look back to me again, checking me out, but I’m far more interested in Maggie.
They both say, “It’s nice to meet you, Jase.” Damn, she even has a sexy voice.
I turn back to Heather. “Sis, we need to head into the office. Let’s go.” I know that not saying anything to the girls was rude, but whatever.
We hear some guy yelling Maggie’s name. “Maggie, get you’re your butt over here! I need to talk to you…NOW!” I wonder if that’s her boyfriend. By the way she's rolling her eyes and Amy’s laughing, I would have to say no.
Amy turns back around. “Aww, Mags, looks like your overprotective brother doesn’t like this,” she says. Wow, I’m not even that bad with my sisters. He looks ready to drag her away.
Maggie looks like she wants to hurt her. “Thanks a lot for the help, Amy. It was really nice meeting both of you. Heather, maybe we can meet up for lunch or something.” Her brother yells out again and she sticks her middle finger up at him. The three of us laugh.
“Sure, I’d like to meet up for lunch,” Heather says.
Both girls start to walk towards the school. “Maggie Grace Summers, get your ass over here now!” Wow, he looks ready to blow his shit, and Maggie looks ready to kill him.
“Fuck off, Adam! You’re not Dad so stop acting like it!” She yells back. I'd say he is way too overprotective when it comes to his sister.
“Holy shit. If that was you yelling, I would SO kick your ass,” Heather says.
I laugh. “No worries. You know I wouldn’t do that but, damn, that guy is WAY too overprotective of her.”
She looks at me, raising her eyebrows. “Yeah, just think…she has five other brothers that are the same way. If they all are like Adam, I feel sorry for her because I can’t see any guy having the balls to ask her on a date.” Fuck it. I don’t date, but I’d still bang her. I DO feel a little sorry for her if all her brothers are like that, though.
Adam and his buddies start walking towards us. “Maybe I’m about to get an earful about staying away from his hot sister,” I say to Heather. She laughed.
“Hey, I’m Adam. Sorry, about making that scene, but she’s my sister. You understand,” Adam says.
“Sure, I understand. I have two sisters of my own, even if I’m not that overprotective,” I say and we all laugh. “I’m Jase, by the way. You boys play football?”
Adam grins. “Yeah, we do. You? Oh, this is Josh, Jake, Travis, and Pete.”
“Hey, nice meeting you all. This is my sister, Heather. Yeah, I played at my other school,” I say. I’m thinking I will like it here, after all. Adam and his buddies seem pretty cool, and he’s got a hot as hell sister.
“You should come to tryouts on Thursday. Maybe we can even play after school,” Adam says. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to make some friends here, and what better friends than guys who love football as much as I do.
“Yeah, that would be cool. Just let me know where and when,” I say.
The bell rings and we all file into the school. Heather and I meet up with April, who is already in the office, and get our classes. Adam and Pete are in my first class of the day…Bio. We talk for most of the period.
Maggie is in my second class, which is History, I'm going to like this one. I’ll get to stare at Miss Gorgeous every day.
When I take my eyes off Maggie, I notice her friend staring her me. She’s cute and I would probably do her if she wasn’t friends with Maggie.
I hear Maggie’s sweet laugher... What is she laughing about? Probably the fact that her friend is drooling all over me! Normally I would be trying to charm her into my bed or hers. But I just don’t have any interest in trying…. Taking a sit in front of Maggie next to some guy. We both turn around to face the girls.
“So girls… what’s funny?” he asks.
Maggie starts to open her month but cringes in pain “Ouch… what was that for?” she glares at the other girl. I hear her friend grumble out ‘don’t say anything’. Me and the other guy laugh, turning back in our seats only for him to turn back towards her again.
“Nice… Jenny now he knows you were drooling all over your papers” he tells her.
Maggie laughs and the other girl curses him under her breath. What didn’t she think I’d notice!!
“Thanks Clay… I get kicked for just opening my mouth and you say it and only get cursed at” he looks back at her and winks, makes me wanna beat his ass… Shit this girl is getting to me. Just then the teacher walks in.
At lunch, I meet up with Adam, Pete, and Jake. We are just sitting down to eat when Heather walks in with Maggie, Amy, and some other hot girl. Josh runs up to Maggie and slaps her ass. Okay, that kind of pisses me off. I look over at Adam, who also looks pissed. “What the hell is Josh doing hitting my fucking sister? I’ll beat his ass,” Adam growls.
Maggie tells Josh off, but he just laughs. When he grabs her, Amy steps in the middle of them. Josh pushes her out of the way and picks up Maggie. Before I know what’s happening, the four of us are over there. “JOSH, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?” Adam roars. Josh looks pale.
He puts Maggie down and starts to turn around, but not before she slaps him across the face. “Don’t you EVER do that again? I told you to leave me alone, Josh”. The girls leave us standing there.
“Shit, dude. How many times do you have to be told to leave Mags alone before Adam beats your ass?” Pete says, looking at him like he’s a moron. The look on Josh’s face says that he doesn’t give a shit. He would probably do just about anything to get his hands on her.
“Whatever. I don’t give a shit what any of you say,” Josh says and walks away.
As we head back to the table to finish eating, Adam catches up to his sister and says something in her ear. She nods and Adam walks back to the table, scowling. I'm guessing this is going to be a long day after the shit that josh just pulled. “What class do you have next, Jase?” Adam asks.
“Gym,” I say.
He gets a huge grin on his face. “Well, it looks like we’re all in the next class together.” He looks at Maggie and Amy as they walk up to the table. “You two have gym next?” They both nod. Well, looks like I have another class to look forward to.
****
We make it outside for gym just as the coach comes out. “Welcome back to school everybody,” he says. “Girls and boys, you’ll be running track today. Maggie, you joining the track team again? We really need you,” he says to her. Damn, does she ever look hot in those tiny shorts? I’ll be sporting wo
od all class just looking at her in those.
“Of course I’ll be joining, Mr. Wards.” She smiles at him. She has a beautiful smile. Shit… she could bring a man to his knees with her smile!!... I have a feeling this girl just might be my down fall
By the time gym is over, we are all sweaty and ready for showers. “Coach is working us hard today,” Jake says, wiping his face.
“When hasn’t he?” Adam chimes in.
I have to admit that the first day of school was pretty awesome. Adam catches up with me after classes. “Hey, Jase, why don’t you follow me? We’ll head to my place, play some ball,” he says.
“Yeah, sure. I need to drive my sister’s home first,” I say.
April comes out and heads over to me. “Jase, I’m walking home with Tina so I don’t need a ride,” she tells me and walks away. Well, aright, but that still leaves Heather.
As if reading my mind, Adam says, “Dude, your other sister is heading out with MY sister so no need to worry about her, either.”
“Damn, first day and they’re both ditching me,” I laugh.
“I’ll ride with Jase in case we end up losing you,” Jake tells Adam.
“You know that I don’t drive like Maggie so he won’t lose me. Don’t give me that face! Jase, she’s a good driver, but speeds a lot,” Adam says.
We all jump into our trucks and head out to Adam’s place. Wow, it’s huge! There are three barns, cows, horses, and bulls. Holy shit, their house is four times the size of ours! Maggie and Heather both come walking out of the house in jeans. “Are you taking her out riding, Maggie?” Adam asks.
“Yes, sir, I am,” she says with a huge smile.
“Have fun, girls.” He looks at us. “You three ready to go play some football?” Adam asks.
Before we can answer, some other guys come out. I’m thinking it’s his brothers and dad. “Hey, boys, mind if we join in on the game?” one of them says.
Adam looks at us, then them. “The more the merrier. Come on,” he says and we all head out to one of the fields.
“Okay, we gotta pick teams,” Adam says.
“Creed and I will be captains. Okay with everybody?” his dad says. We all nod in agreement. Creed picks Jade, Pete, and myself; Mr. Summers picks Adam, Jake, and a farmhand name Cole.
As we get half-way through our game, Mrs. Summers comes walking over to where we are. “Jade, can you please go get Maggie? I need her help. I think she and Heather are on the four-wheelers in the south pasture.” Wow, I’m shocked. I didn’t think Maggie was the kind of girl who liked to get dirty. Plus, I KNOW that Heather doesn’t like to get dirty so the fact that she’s on a four-wheeler? I’d love to see that.
“Yeah, sure mom,” he says, walking over and kissing her cheek
“Take a break, boys. There are drinks and snacks on the front porch,” she tells us.
Adam comes up to me. “I wonder how my sister talked yours into going out on the four-wheelers,” he says.
I look over at him. “I have no clue, but I do know that Heather hates getting dirty.”
“Well, she keeps hanging out with baby girl and she’ll have no choice but to get dirty,” their dad says, smiling.
“I didn’t think that Maggie was that type of girl, either,” I say.
Adam and Creed laugh. “She always does stuff like that. She also helps with chores around the farm. Maggie has never cared about getting dirty.” She is defiantly a one-of-a-kind girl. After we grab a drink, the girls come around the corner of one of the barns. Talk about dirty, Maggie is covered in mud.
“Out on the four-wheelers, baby girl?” Adam asks. Heather didn’t get that dirty. Damn, even dirty, Maggie is gorgeous.
“Yes, we were, Adam,” she says, looking over at me and smiling. I love her smile. It makes her whole face light up. As soon as the girls are in the house Adam turns back to me and see the way I’m staring at his sister… oh shit!! Here comes the warnings to stay the hell away from her!
“Maggie hates everything we stand for, she isn’t the type of girl you can just sleep with. Besides I don’t want that for my sister… so dude if you can’t give her more than one night…..” he tells me trailing off.
Could I ever be someone that deserves Maggie? Shit I don’t know… am I ready to stop sleeping around? Fuck no!!
“You have nothing to worry about, I won’t hurt your sister or even try sleeping with her”
He nods his thanks, a while later we all head in side and Mrs. Summers asks me if I wanna stay for dinner, I tell her yes…. It gives me more time to stare at Maggie!
Chapter 3 (Maggie)
The first day of school was awesome. I made two new friends and it turns out that Jase has a protective side because he was right there after Josh slapped my ass and picked me up. After gym, I went to my math class with Jeff, my gay best friend. He has blonde curly hair, baby blue eyes, and a nice body. If he wasn’t gay, we would have hooked up a long time ago. Heather and I meet up after class. “Hey, girl. How was your first day?” I say.
“It was awesome. I think I’ll like it here after all,’’ she says, smiling.
“Would you like to come over to my house and hang out?” I ask smiling her.
“Yeah, sure.” We head out of school together. I ask if she needed to call her parents, but she said that April would let them know. We got into my jeep and turned on some music. “Sorry, my brothers love this song and they kind of got me hooked,” I say and she laughs.
I pull up to my house and Heather sighs. “Wow, this house is gorgeous, Maggie.” Smiling I tell her to follow me
We head inside and smell cookies. I love my mom’s cookies. Giving her a hug and kiss on the cheek, I say, “Hey, mom. This is Heather, a new girl at school. How was your day?”
She kissed my cheek. “My day was good, baby girl. Hi, Heather. It’s very nice to meet you”
We talk to my mom about our day for a few minutes, then I ask Heather if she wants to go riding. “Sure,” she says, smiling, so we head upstairs to my room to put on jeans and boots.
When we head back downstairs, my dad and brothers are in the kitchen. “Hey, Daddy. This is Heather.”
Dad smiles at her. “Hi, Heather. Since my daughter didn’t do it, let me introduce her brothers, Jade and Creed.” You going riding, baby girl?”
“Yeah, we are just heading out now. Adam is coming back with some friends, too.”
Creed and Jade both walk over to me, giving me a weird look, then they start tickling me. “So, brat, you weren’t going to introduce us to your friend?” Creed says and they both smirk. I swear, if they don’t stop, I might just pee myself. Mom and Dad are no help as they’re just laughing.
“God, no!! Remember, I know how you two are. If I could keep Adam away from her, I would.” I stick my tongue out at them.
They just laugh at me and Jade says, “Good luck with that, brat.”
Heather and I head outside as Adam and the other boys are getting out of their cars. “Are you taking her out riding, Maggie?” Adam asks.
“Yes, sir, I am.”
Once we get into the barn, I went about saddling up Storm and Moon. Heather looks a little scared so I smile at her. “They’re good horses. It’ll be fine.”
We ride around for a little bit and I think Heather is having a good time. After we get done, unsaddled and brushed out the horses, I asked Heather if she wanted to go on the four-wheelers for a while. She nodded her head, vigorously. I think she had an awesome time, even though we were dirty afterwards.
My brother, Jade, came out to tell me that Mom wanted us so we started to head for the house. Adam stopped us before we got there. “Out on the four-wheelers, too, brat?” He asks.
“Yes, we were, Adam,” I said.
“Wow, I think you’re the first girl that I’ve met that doesn’t mind getting dirty. Heather, I’m surprised you went,” Jase says. I smile and Heather stuck her tongue out as we walk into the house.
Mom tells us that she needs some help s
etting the table and making a salad. She asks Heather if she and Jase would like to stay for supper. “Sure, but I’ll have to ask Jase.”
The boys came walking into the house so mom asked him. “That’d be great. Thank you,” Jase says.
She tells all the boys to go get cleaned up because supper is almost ready. After we all sit around the table and Dad says grace, we start passing food around the table. “Creed and Jade, can you two help fix fences this weekend?” Dad asks.
Creed says, “I can, but Jade has an event. Put Adam and Maggie to work on it, too.”
“They’re helping. I asked them last weekend.” Jase and Heather both look at us so I smile at them.
After supper, Dad and the boys tell jokes and talk about football, while Mom and I clean up. “Why don’t you take Heather and show her around?” Mom says.
I went into the living room and ask Heather if she’d like to walk around outside. The boys ask if they can come along. I say sure. While we walk around and I show her some of the ranch, the boys start messing around. Suddenly, I’m grabbed from behind and thrown over a shoulder. I scream, “Oh, my god, Jade. You scared the shit out of me!” Everyone laughs.
“Sorry, baby girl. Eh, not really.” I swear I’m going to kick his ass one day.
“One day, I’ll get so fat that you can’t do that to me EVER AGAIN!” That just makes him and everyone else laugh harder.
“Aww, come on, Maggie. You know you love yourself too much for that,” he says. Oh, I am going to seriously hurt him.
“HAHA, you’re so funny…not.”
He grabs my hands. “Why don’t you show Heather and Jase what barrel racing is.” He winks at me.
I look over at them, then back at Jade. “Sure. You going to time me?” He nods, smiling.
We walk over to the corral. I saddle up Storm while Adam and Jade set up the barrels. “Hey, what is barrel racing anyway?” Heather asks.
