Marino High School: A Short Story

Improved Essays
It was a calm and relaxing day at Marino High School. It was about 2 in the afternoon when Cassie found the note on the ground. On the note said ‘Meet me behind the locker rooms at the football field at the end of the 3rd quarter on Friday night. From Brad’. Brad, being the captain of the football team, used to be into some bad stuff until he was sent to juvie at the beginning of the school year. He didn’t do anything bad at all after that. Brad’s first day back at school he saw this amazingly pretty girl. Her name was Cassie. She had long blonde hair and had very bright blue eyes. Brad was scared to talk to her for a couple of days until he found the courage to finally talk to her. Cassie had joined the school when Brad was in juvie.
