AN this is my first story. I don't own anything to do with this show. Just my imagination. Read. Review. Leave. Whatever you feel.

Bella's POV

Ugh. This is ridiculous. Coach is making all of us run laps in this 94 degree weather. I love Texas but sometimes the weather can be brutal, especially when you're running in a football uniform. I'm just thankful practice is over after this last lap. I can't wait to take a shower.

I enter the locker room first to ensure I get into my very own locker room seperate from the boys but still in the locker room. Being a girl in the boys locker room can be awkward sometimes. I feel very self conscious when I'm changing because I know only a flimsy curtain separates me from them. But at this moment, I couldn't care because I just wanted to shower and get this nasty sweat off.

I started to strip out of my jersey and pants when I hear coach make an announcement. "Tomorrow a new transfer student is starting at Silverado High and is going to try out for the team. His name is Derek and I want all of you to make him feel welcome. You got that Troy?"

"The Troy is always welcoming coach!" Said Troy

"Yeah because nothing says 'welcome' like trying to get the new girl kicked off the team due to jealousy" I said from behind the curtain

"Hey that was before I knew you! And I was only like that because you replaced me as QB! This guy is going to be another team mate... If he makes the team." Troy defended himself

"Whatever you say" I answered

After showering and getting dressed in something more appropriate for this muggy weather, I walked out into the locker room to see that Newt, Sawyer, and Troy were the only ones left.

"So what do you think the new guy's gonna be like?" Said Sawyer with his thick Texan accent

"I don't know but I hope he is nice and we have things in common, like warm bubble baths" said a hopeful Newt

"Right..." Said Sawyer and Troy while giving Newt a weird look

"Who said that..." Said Newt as he grew silent

Sawyer and Troy rolled their eyes and that's when they noticed me.

"Oh good you're finally done, Bella. Now we can go meet up with Sophie and Pepper at the Lone Starcade. I'm starving!" Said Sawyer.

"Me too" Troy added before we headed out.

We got there about ten minutes later to see that Sophie and Pepper were already at the booth with drinks. "Hey girls!" I called as I ran ahead of the boys. "Guess what?" I added. "What?" Inquired Pepper. "There's this new kid, Derek that's starting at Silverado tomorrow" I answered. "Oh I wonder if he's cute!" Pepper said. "I do too. He's trying out for the team tomorrow so we'll see" I added before changing the subject and acknowledging the whole table.

"So guys anything eventful happen in your lives today?" I asked

"Yeah, right now I'm sitting next to Sophie" said Newt gazing lovingly at her. Sophie returned the gaze with a look of disgust as she moved to the other side of the table. "I was able to get out of running for the rest of the week by buttering up coach" said a smug Troy.

We all hung out for two hours before parting ways for the night. "Good night everyone" I said before heading home. They responded with a 'night' or 'see you tomorrow".

As I walked home I couldn't help but let my mind wander. Will this new guy be nice? Is he going to make the team? Will he be hot? That last one I'm hoping is a yes.

I'm now home and getting ready for bed and finishing any homework I had. I got into bed and turned off the lights. Tomorrow is going to be a good day. I can feel it.
