Catch 5 x 2

Tim is basically your average ladies man. He can pull and probably has pulled every girl in Mattoon. Well teen that is. He starts working at the plant and meets this chick name Helena. She’s disses him right from the start throwing negative comments at him because she knows who he is. She knows what he’s all about. He thinks that she’s work the hassle and goes at it. When he says “hi” she throws dagger comments at him and they go at it like cats and dogs until her birthday comes strolling on. He gets her fake flowers as a prank and in his surprise she actually like them and doesn’t say anything negative. After that they’re cant be separated. It gets to the point where he thinks to himself how things would be if they live together just the two of them and all. When he goes off to the orientation and comes back they stop talking. He thinks its his fault that she’s not calling. He’s doesn’t hang with his friends like he used to. Even in the beginning of their relationship he stopped hanging with them a the time. He’s always down and is constantly thinking of her. When he finds out the reason why she stopped talking to him he falls apart. Before she leaves he confesses to actually loving her. He had a plan for the two of them. He knew her like no other and love her. The way she snored the way she laughed etc. He doesn’t call her after that but he still thinks about her.

Catch 5

So Tim finds out that his brother slept with his girl Helena. That’s why she hadn’t been returning any of his calls or messages and why she didn’t go to work. After she tells him he feels sad, duped, young, angry, tired, guilty, and alone. He goes back home only to be stopped by Doug. He tries to ignore him but it gets to him and he is forced to turn around. They say their words and take it to the field. The field is worn down from when they used to play together back then. There they are in their positions catching and throwing the ball. Doug throwing his fast balls like he never threw them before. Tim catching every single one of them. Tim is shocked that Doug hasn’t lost a touch and is probably better. The excitement between them is building and they are getting tired but aren’t showing it. Doug moves up and continues until he is like 20ft from Tim. Doug throws the ball but Tim isn’t paying attention due to the fact that he was recovering from the last shot. He gets hit right in the side of the mouth and falls over fetal position. After that blow Doug is practically at his side in like seconds. He’s the brother Tim’s been missing all this time. It took fast balls and catching them to bring back the Doug Tim was looking for. After that they’re all buddy buddy and its like it never happened.

Catch 4 x 2

So Tim and Jessica goes to their orientation and meet these twins named Eric and Gabe and this other dude who is giving them the tour name Munesh. He starts right off saying what Jessica wants to hear. That they were going on a tour and that he was going to show them the buildings and tell the meaning of them. They don’t go on the tour at all and Jessica is a little bummed because she wanted to go bad so instead they go to a bar and hang around asking questions and to his surprise he is enjoying this a lot and is feeling that he can live the college life. He forgets to call Helena though. He find out that Eric is gay and that they are Jewish. The twins know of Mattoon and think that its an interesting town only because of the bagels and all. They was like it was funny how their small town claimed that it was the bagel capital. They're at the bar having a good time and getting to know Munesh and the twins a little more. Munesh tells them that curfew is 11:30 and that they lock up and stuff. Tim is enjoying the music and the scenery. He asked Munesh where he was from like what country or something like that and he was like Chicago but i guess the way he asked the question and how Munesh answered it is the funny part. Tim was embarrassed but was still laughing with the crowd. Between the twins Gabe is the laid back one and Eric is the nerd. Tim says that they were the first Jews that he'd seen. Munesh tells them that the professors are just like him and that all you have to do is show up enough so the vaguely remember your face and turn in enough assignments so you don’t fail. There’s a variety of people there that Tim doesn’t know and he’s really considering going there. He tells that to Jessica, not in those exact words but he really like it, before they sprint to make the curfew.

Catch 4

Ok so after that little fight with Doug and hanging with Helena its about that time for Tim to go to his orientation. He doesn’t want to go but he does anyway. Before all of this him and Helena are at the store and they’re all lovey dovey and all and they hit the corner and there’s Doug getting ready to check out and all. He sees them and start messing with the both of them and bringing up Helena’s past relationships trying to get under their skin and stuff like that. That same night all their plans of eating pasta went down the drain and everything started to turn bad. After that they barely see maybe for like two days. He goes to his orientation and meets these twins named Eric and Gabe and this other dude who is giving them the tour name Munesh. They don’t go on the tour though instead they go to a bar and hang around asking questions and to his surprise he is enjoying this a lot and is feeling that he can live the college life. He forgets to call Helena though. He find out that Eric is gay and that they are Jewish. The twins know of Mattoon and think that its an interesting town only because of the bagels and all. So him and Jessica are headed back to town and after that they go their separate ways. He goes to Helena’s house to see that her car is parked not how its suppose to and that the door is open. He walks in and sees the tv showing some show with naked chicks running around. He hears music blasting from Helena’s room and goes that way. He finds her asleep on the bed skirt hiked up halfway no shirt on face in a pillow sleep. He looks around and there’s empty beer cans on the floor and some guys jacket on the closet door. He walks away not touching anything and leaves. To me I think that her mom died because he didn’t mention her not once.

Catch 3

So far Tim and Helena’s relationship is going good I can say and they’re sneaking around and hang out so no one knows of them. They go to this restaurant that has a skating rink next to it. Well they don’t actually go to the restaurant they go to the skating rink instead. He meets her cousin Jill who runs it I guess and on his first impression she seems dead. She lost her husband is why though. They get to know each other a little more while there and lose track of time and end up being the last people there. Like maybe a day or two after that Tim and his family is out on the lawn cleaning and stuff and he is cleaning and waxing the car. His mom is doing what she does and starts crying because he’s going off to college and all. His brother is over there watching it all while pretending to listen to music. His mom and dad go in and Doug stands and throws a cigarette on the ground. Tim says he’ll pick up his mess and Doug goes ballistic and is about a inch away from Tim’s face. They don’t fight or anything just a little arguing. He later meets Helena at her cousins trailer and they hang and he like has this attitude about what happened between him and Doug. He’s throwing all the wrong signs at Helena. She eventually finds out and they start to enjoy themselves. Now that him and Helena are together Tim’s barely hangs with the horsemen anymore.
