Track and Feels

Chapter 1: Prologue

Some years have passed and Dipper's wish has finally come true. He entered high school. But not just any high school; Gravity Falls High. The same high school Wendy is going to!

After much begging and debate, Dipper had finally convinced his parents to allow him to start high school in Gravity Falls. But of course he wasn't going alone.

Mabel was an obvious package that followed him like a puppy to its owner. She wasn't going to let her cute bro-bro take on all that high school drama by himself that she's always heard about and seen on tv.

So the two had permanently moved to the shack with Stanley to start their high school days.

Dipper woke up to an annoying alarm clock that he slowly went to turn off. He was now sleeping in the old guest bedroom as Mabel was given the attic. As he got up, he grabbed a pair of old jeans that he threw on the floor from yesterday. He put them on, then he went to grab a clean tshirt from his closet.

He didn't bother with his hair since it was naturally thick and messy. In the old days, he would have covered it with his old pine tree hat, but since entering high school he's gotten over his nervousness of his birthmark so he never needed to wear it anymore.

Dipper looked over himself in the mirror. He definitely didn't look like the dipper back during that first summer anymore. Puberty had been good to him. He didn't have abs, but his stomach was nice and slender. He grew taller than Mabel and was about 5'10 with all the other guys his age. But Wendy still grew, making him still shorter than her by three inches.

All his baby fat was gone and his noodle arms now had some meat on them from taking up boxing to work out. He was definitely one of the cuter guys at school now. Though girls still didn't notice him much. Probably because of his nervous personality and his natural skill of blending in. Something that Mabel had tried to fix time and time again since she was his complete opposite. But she failed and said that Dipper was the only one who could force the change.

"Come on! Today's the day! Today you will ask Wendy to go on a date!" Dipper stated as he tried to pep talk himself in the mirror.

It was already the ending of winter quarter, Dipper easily fit in with Wendy's group of friends at the beginning of school. But he never really made any of his own. If he wasn't studying like the good student he was, he was either hanging out with Wendy and her friends or trying to admit his feelings to her. But here he was two school quarters later, with the same relationship he had with her since that first summer. Not that it was all his fault.

Dipper didn't realize how popular Wendy really was until he entered the same school. She had horny guys that were always around her and asking her out. But her answer was always the same. "No". Nobody really knew what type of guy she liked, but suddenly having a clinging freshman around who was spoiled by her, really pissed a few of them off. Including Dipper's arch enemy, Robbie.

Yep Robbie was one of the few guys that actually had a chance to date Wendy. But after realizing how much of a jerk he can be sometimes, especially to Dipper, she decided to break up with him. She hasn't dated anyone since.

Dipper stepped outside as he left for school early. It was chilly but he enjoyed the cold. All the snow had melted and it was starting to smell like spring already even though it was still a few weeks away.

Dipper made it into town and was about to turn around a corner when, BAM!

Dipper felt the sudden pain that rushed to his head after he hit the ground.

"Ok…that hurt!" he muttered as he realized there was a soft weight keeping him from getting up.

"Wait…Soft?" Dipper thought

Dipper opened his eyes to see his redhead crush Wendy sitting on top of him also holding her head to the surprise pain.

Upon realizing who she ran into she apologized, "Oh Dipper! I'm so sorry! Usually nobody's up yet." She got up and then gave her hand to help Dipper up, which he graciously took.

"It's ok, but why were you in such a hurry? Did something happen?" Dipper asked

"No nothing happened, I was just practicing for Track."

"Track?"

"Ya, track! As in track and field? You know the spring sport?" Wendy said

"Sorry, I've never gotten into sports…The only thing I've ever done that could be considered a sport is boxing." Dipper said. But he didn't say I'm not the best at it, that I only do it to work out, and that I never do it in front of people.

"But why would you be practicing for track?" Dipper asked

"I guess you don't know since you're a freshman, but I've been in track since entering high school. In fact, I'm the best and hold a couple school records!" She stated proudly.

"Well she does have long legs. I guess it shouldn't surprise me." he thought

But somehow Dipper ended up starring at her beautiful legs. Dipper only snapped out of it when Wendy intervened.

She snapped her fingers in front of his face and said, "Hey…What exactly are you starring at?"

Of course she said this full knowing that Dipper was staring at her long legs, so her face was pink in embarrassment as she asked.

Dipper thought this was way too cute! Taking another look at her, he just realized she was wearing tightly fitted under armor for the chilly morning, which showed off her nice, sleek, womanly curves.

Wendy snapped her fingers again while catching Dipper staring again.

"Dipper it's really embarrassing when you stare at me like that." She said shyly as she looked away from a frantic Dipper.

"I-I'm s-sorry Wendy! I'm just…tired."

"Well anyways…" Wendy said trying to change the subject.

"Tryouts are today, though I already know I'm getting in. So you should come after school and check it out!" suggested Wendy

"Sounds fun." Dipper said with a smile.

"Ok, but I have to run back home and get my stuff for school. I'll see you in a couple hours?" She said as she began running down the street.

Dipper watched her run off into the distance. Her hips moved back and forth as she ran.

"Man she has a cute butt…" he thought.

Author Notes: So what do you think of it so far? How do you think going to the track tryouts will play for Dipper? I guess you will have to wait and see!
