The Unwritten Law

So I’m a jock right?I’m supposed to just go out with the sexy slut girls, because, well, because I am.And I’m the CAPTAIN of the football team, so I have to date a popular slut.It’s the dumbest unwritten law in creation, but it exists.For awhile I was ok with it, even agreed with it, so I was so unprepared when I met her.Ok, so she’s a total nerd. I mean 15th in class out of 640?!? Holy crap. But she’s pretty, not gorgeous, but she is pretty, and she’s funny in a crazy kind of way, and nice, and I can’t help it but I’m head over heels for her.And then I realized something that really sucked, she would never want to date me. Hello! Nerds hate jocks! So what can I do? I asked her to tutor me in math, oh yeah, smooth one captain. (not)
Holy crap. I have an A in math! How did this happen? This is crazy, so I go in and tell her, and what does she say?
“Oh, I guess you don’t really need me anymore…” She looks sad. Yesss!
So I lean in closer, “Yes I do, but not for Math.”
Screw the unwritten law, I kissed her.
