Summer love.

Chapter three.

Richard slowly walked into the GYM, his hands in his pockets as usual and determination in his eyes. This was foreign territory for him as he walked up to the coach uneasily. “Yo Coach.” He called, “I wanna be on a team.” He said getting straight to the point.
“Very funny, Grayson.” The coach fake laughed.
“No really, I’m trying to change.” He said honestly.
The coach narrowed his eyes feeling like this was a trap of some sort. “Okay Grayson, now what are you thinking, Basketball, Football, Soccer, Wrestling?…”
Richard shrugged, “Whatever’s cool.”
“Hhmm…” The coach said unimpressed. “What are you good at, if anything?” He asked and Richard glared. “Can you throw a ball, Swim, jump, run?”
“I can run.”
“Well there we go.” The coach said patting him on the back.
…
Richard got dressed and walked out onto the track. He wasn’t used to wearing shorts unless he was swimming so the breeze felt strange on his legs. “Grayson, over here!” The coach called, gesturing where he needed to be. “Okay Grayson, let’s see what you can do.” The coach said before blowing a whistle and setting his stopwatch. Richard ran… and ran fast before glancing up at the bleachers where he spotted Kory, who got word he was trying out and came to watch. Seeing her encouraging face as she smiled down at him gave him a boost, and he found himself running even faster, until he reached the end. “Wow, not bad, not bad at all.” The coach said staring at the stopwatch. “You might have potential after all Grayson.”
“Really?” Richard questioned, his breathing shallow, he honestly didn’t think he was ganna make it.
“Richard that was amazing!” Kory said running up to him.
“You think so?” He said a curve lifting his lips. She smiled, a little blush flushing her cheeks. “Are you still dating John the jock strap?” He asked.
"We're just friends." She shrugged.
“Does he know that?” Richard asked but before she could answer he continued. “-I guess I was just wondering if you wanted to go to dinner with me later?” He asked shyly.
“I…” She stammered, “I would love to.”
…
Holding Kory’s hand Richard escorted her into the pizza parlor. He was all smiles until he saw his friends who were also at the restaurant. Slight panic overcame him, “Maybe we should go somewhere else.” He said nervously.
“What, why?” She asked.
“It’s too crowded,” He tried to say casually as she looked around in confusion; it wasn’t that bad, and that’s when she noticed why he wanted to leave, over there in the corner were his friends… “Come on lets go somewhere else.” He said pulling her towards the door.
“Richard.” She said sweetly, stopping him.
She looked at him with her big bright green eyes, and it forced him to change his mind as he got lost in them. “Okay.” He smiled before walking her to a table, far away from his friends.
“What can I get you?” The waitress asked nicely, notepad in hand.
"We'll share a large chocolate shake?" Richard said grinning at Kory.
“Ohh… you must be special.” The waitress winked taking their order.
“Have you never shared on your other dates?” Kory asked.
“Well… you’re the first girl I ever wanted to share with.” He smiled, and feeling the time was right he slowly leaned in and was about to kiss her… when his friends animatedly joined the table!
“Yo Grayson, what’s this I hear you trying out for sports?” Victor questioned sitting down.
“Yeah since when are you the jock type?” Garfield asked joining them.
“Well guys, things change.” He said smiling towards Kory.
“Oh would you look at that, someone’s sharing.” Victor noticed as the waitress brought them their shake.
“Jeez princess, you must be special.” Garfield said nudging Kory.
“You ask her to the dance yet?” Roy smirked as Richard glared at him.
“Well…”He said nervously, “I was kind of planning on doing it tonight.”
"You were?" Kory asked, a smile lighting up her face.
“You know if you wanted to…” Richard shrugged.
“Oh Richard I would love to go!” She said excitedly pulling him close and kissing him, causing the boys to snicker and smirk. “I’m so excited I just love to dance.” Kory smiled.
“Yeah well good luck getting Grayson here on the dance floor.” Roy teased pointing a thumb towards Richard.
“Clearly you’ve never seen Richard dance; he told me his step father made him take classes when he was 10 so he’s very skilled at it.” Kory told them.
“Oh Kory they don’t want to hear that.” Richard said waving his hands in front of her, trying to quiet her.
“Dance classes?” Roy questioned his voice cracking.
“Yeah this is the first we’re hearing about this.” Victor noted, trying not to laugh.
“Oh yes we did a lot of dancing on the beach…” She smiled.
“Well aren’t you just full of surprises, Dick.” Roy smirked as Richard harshly glared at him.
“Speaking of dancing…” Garfield said leaning close next to Kory, “Do you think you can get Raven to go with me?” He asked and Richard shoved him away.
“Come on man, you know Raven doesn’t date.” Victor told him
“Yeah well when she sees me in my new tux, she will be begging me to dance with her.” Garfield smirked.
“Sure, I’ll believe it when I see it.” Roy huffed.
