Chapter 1: Falling for him

The wind whipped Julie's long straight blond hair in front of her face as she walked towards the football field. She tried effortlessly to get the mess of her hair to stay in one place. She wasn't looking forward to enduring this wind for the rest of the afternoon. She had groaned when her mother told her that she had to get a ride home from school with her father. Her mother had to take Gracie to the doctor for a checkup right after school. Julie would rather endure the afternoon watching the Dillon football team practice than wait in a small doctor's office filled with sick kids for an hour.

When she got to the football field she was greeted by her father. He was waiting for the rest of the team to come out of the locker room before beginning the practice.

"Jules, get your school work done." He stated and gave her a peck on the cheek and a pat on the back.

"That's what the backpacks for." She mumbled and pulled the backpack up that was dangling from her side.

"If you need help you'll have to wait until we get home to ask your mother. You know I can't do that trig stuff." Coach declared and she nodded. Julie dragged her heavy backpack up the bleachers. She got half way up the bleacher and decided it would be pointless to carry her dead weight backpack up to the top of the bleachers. She sighed as she threw her backpack down and plopped her down on the bleacher seat. She looked down onto the field and saw her father yelling at a few of the players to hurry up and that they didn't have all day. She sure didn't have all day to wait around for them.

Julie looked the opposite way when she saw Matt Saracen kissing his cheerleader girlfriend. It still hurt a little bit to see them together. Smash and Tim Riggins were the last on the field and coach gave them hell for it.

As the team started their practice routine, Julie decided to start her history homework. She got less then half way through and gave up from boredom. She looked up and decided to turn her attention to the practicing Dillon team. She watched Tim catch a pass from Matt and take it down into the end zone. She stared as Tim threw is helmet off and gave another teammate a high five. She couldn't help, but focus on Tim's muscles as he caught the football. She knew half the school was in love with him, but she never really gave much thought to him. She couldn't believe that she had just now realized how completely hot Tim is. He had a really nice face too and even with the sweat all over him she was still drawn to him.

She frowned disgusted with herself. After dating Matt she had put dating a football player on her 'never to do again' list. She still couldn't help herself and kept staring at Tim throughout the practice. There was no harm in looking, right?
