41. Locker Room

The soccer game had been brilliant and Arthur’s team won spectacularly. The boy is a little exhausted, but absolutely happy and not distracted enough to miss when one of his teammates throws a bundle of dirty socks on his direction, he steps aside swiftly and it hits the locker.

“Damn!” He hears Owen complain. “Brit got the reflexes of a fox!”

“Maybe you Yankees are just lousy at throwing stuff.”

Arthur says, turning to smirk at the boy. Owen smirks back.

“Whatever man.” He says pulling a shirt over his head. “I saw Sophia swapping spit with Riley from the football team the other day. You guys are really over then, huh?”

Arthur nods, sitting on the bench to tie his sneakers.

“Yep.”

“That’s a relief.” Penn comments, emerging from the showers. “No offense man, she’s pretty and all, but…”

“None taken.” Arthur laughs. He knew his friends weren’t very fond of the girl.

“Who’s in your list now?” Kay asks and sees the blonde frown in confusion. “Come on Arthur! Girls kiss the ground you walk on. My sister says you’re the main topic of conversation in the ladies room.”

“Have no idea why. I’m much more handsome.” Penn jokes.

“It’s the accent man. Girls love a British accent.” Owen offers, making the others laugh. “Anyway, Kay is right. All you have to do is pick one and she’s just going to rush over like a puppy dog.”

“Oh, he already picked one.” Tristan taunts smirking from where he leaning against the lockers. “Never had seen that girl Merlin watching a soccer game before.”

“Wait Merlin?” Penn says with a frown. “You’re dating a girl named Merlin? Well, that’s just creepy.”

“We’re not dating.” Arthur replies defensively. “She’s just my friend.”

“Right.” Owen replies smirking. “Just your friend. Sure. Isn’t she your neighbor and your window is like, aligned with hers?”

“Yeah, so?” Arthur is completely puzzled at that.

“Ever caught her naked?” Kay asks smirking. “She’s kinda cute once you look past all the weird clothes.”

Arthur remembers the Elvis incident from when he first arrived and looks away, feeling his cheeks warm.

“Oh man! You did it, did you?!” Owen exclaims excited and nudges the blonde on the shoulder. “Come on, dude! Tell us!”

“I may have seen her in her undergarments once.” Arthur stammers a little, flushing. “But it was an accident.”

“Undergarments? Who the hell says undergarments?” Penn mocks, chuckling.

“18th century people.” Tristan offers. “And Arthur when he’s nervous.”

The four boys guffaw while Arthur just turns a brighter shade of red.

“So? Is she hot?” Owen prompts curiously and all the boys turn to look at Arthur expectantly.

Arthur is not sure how to answer that. Sure, he had checked Merlin out once or twice when they were in the pool, but the blonde had never taken time to consider if he actually thought the girl was attractive.

His mind conjures a picture of Merlin. Dark, dark hair, bright blue eyes, huge grin; Pale skin that seems to glow, small frame, but with all the right curves…

“Yeah.” He says with a coarse voice. “She is.”
