A/N: So, I took a mini nap and woke up at 3 to write this. It' now 7. Time for sleeeeeep….
This one's for Twinsie! We're planning our weddings! I'm marrying Adam Chanler-Berat and she's marrying John Gallagher Jr! =D
Names are as follows:
Johnny Foreman
Will Carraway
Tunny Henderson
Heather Daniels
Jimmy….Vincent? I guess we'll go with that. Thanks Twinsie!
And Whatsername and EG don't need last names. Sorry girls…
REVIEW PLEASE!
Will stood in the middle of the football field, watching everyone around him. He wasn't a wimp and he wasn't scrawny like Johnny was. He was well-built, tough. His father had always told him he should play football, but he never wanted to. He would rather stay home on a Saturday night, hang out with his friends, just relax after the school week exhausted him. But if it could earn him Heather Daniels on his arm, he'd do it.
The coach blew his whistle and everyone on the field flocked to him. "Alright, men!" he shouted like he was some sort of drill sergeant. "You came here today to play football, correct?"
The rest of them nodded, almost all in unison. Will didn't.
"We're not here to show off, we're not here to impress your girlfriends," Well, fuck. Will thought. I should just leave now. "We're here for the passion and the glory of this sport." He decided to walk down the line and inspect every boy there. He seemed satisfied with everyone…until he reached Will. "You know, I don't play boys with earrings"
The whole line of boys just laughed as Will tried to speak up for himself. "It's a stud."
"Well it makes you look like a fucking fag! Take it out or you don't try out."
He sighed and pulled the stud out, walking over to the bench where his stuff was.
"Will," a voice rang suddenly. He looked around feverishly until he was face to face with Heather. She held her hand out to him. "I'll hold onto that for you." He nodded and quickly dropped the stud into her hand. As he went to walk back, he heard her whisper to him. "I think it makes you look sexy."
He smiled at her and winked before walking back to the field with his newfound confidence. He had a feeling that she wanted him too. Why else would she be here watching him? He just seemed to shake the thought from his head as the coach blew his whistle, telling them to start running laps and such…
Here goes nothing…
Two or three hours had passed. Tryouts were finally ending. Will was sore everywhere. He couldn't even raise his eyebrows without being in some sort of pain.
"Well, thank you, men." The coach said sincerely. "The list'll posted tomorrow. Thank you all for coming out here today." Everyone began to leave but the coach soon interrupted. "Earring boy. Come here."
Will sighed and painfully made his way over to the coach, expecting to be chastised more. "Yes, sir?"
"You have a remarkable talent for football, Mr. Carraway."
"I do?"
"Which is why I'm putting you on the team right away."
His eyes just widened. Was this really happening? Did this happen so soon? "Really?"
"Of course. You've got skill, boy. Just don't wear anymore piercings to my practices."
"I won't sir. Thank you, sir!" he smiled as he ran off to get his stuff. He couldn't care if he looked like an idiot. He was so ecstatic.
"What did he want?" Heather asked, wondering why he was so suddenly giddy.
"I made the team!" he cheered as he watched a smile spread across her face.
She threw her arms around him tightly and whispered, "I knew you would…" And then she kissed him. She really kissed him. He never wanted her stop…he wanted her to just kiss him forever…But the two of them pulled apart, their foreheads and noses touching gently.
"I love you…" he admitted, raising his hand to her cheek, resting it there.
She seemed to giggle a little before answering. "I love you too…"
They finally pulled far apart from one another that they were actually breathing their own air now. She helped him carry his stuff to his car, throwing it all in the trunk. "Do you think you could give me a ride?" she asked him. "Tunny ditched me."
He smiled and opened the car door for her. "Of course."
They sped off towards her house as fast as possible. This was the richer part of Jingletown he guessed. He followed her directions and they landed at some huge house. It was bigger than Will expected it to be, especially compared to the little bungalow that he and his father lived in.
"Home sweet home…" she sighed, her tone sounding slightly annoyed. She was about to get up when she suddenly stopped herself. "Oh, I was meaning to ask you…Is Johnny ok?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"I heard he got in a fight with Jimmy Vincent. That guy seriously creeps me out. He stares at me all the time in Algebra."
"He does? But yeah, Johnny's fine. Got knocked out pretty hard…he's just a little shook up. His mom wouldn't let him leave the house. But he'll be back."
"That's nice. " she said, smiling, her fingers gently brushing over his. "Hey, my parents are out this weekend. I'm having a party on Friday. You wanna come?"
He smiled back and just full-out grabbed her hand. "Sure."
"Tell Tunny and them…I want as many people as possible. Trying to piss of the folks, you know?"
"Yeah…well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?"
"Of course." She leaned over and kissed him again. "Goodnight, Will."
"Night, Heather…" He watched as she got out of the car and walked into her house. He waited until she was inside until he began to drive off again.
SCORE!
The first thing that came out of Will's mouth the next day was 'I'm going out with Heather Daniels.' Tunny and Johnny both knew it was coming, but they congratulated him anyway. If only they had as much luck in their love lives as he did…
"Heather's having a party tomorrow." Will explained. "Wants you to come. Maybe this can be the time to ask out your Whatsername, Johnny."
"And practically get killed again? No thanks." He said sternly.
"Yeah, but he backed off from her. She's not with him anymore."
Johnny looked over to the table where Whatsername usually sat. She was alone, reading something. She looked peaceful. And the best part was that Jimmy was nowhere in sight. He glared at Will and got up, waltzing over to her.
"Hey, Rebecca."
She turned around and looked him straight in the eyes. "Hey. You're not dead."
"Nope…"
She offered him a seat next to her and he obeyed her quickly. "I'm so sorry about what happened. I don't know what's up with him, I really don't. He's just having a hard time at home and-!"
"Hey, it's ok. It's over with."
She nodded and sighed. "So what's up?"
"A friend of mine's having a party tomorrow. I was…you know, wondering if you…wanted to go with me?"
She just smiled and giggled at him. She thought he was cute. Adorable. He was so shy around her and he didn't even need to be. "Sure. I'd like that."
"Really?" he asked all too excitedly.
"Yeah."
He just smiled and hugged her. "Thank you so much!"
"Uh, hey Johnny Cakes. Your ADHD is showing." Will called from their table.
Johnny just blushed at the use of his nickname. He turned around and mouthed the words 'Fuck off' before turning back to Whatsername. "So I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
"Awesome. Bye."
"Bye, Johnny Cakes." She said with a wink, trying not to laugh.
Although he was going to murder Will, he was ecstatically happy.
Score!
Tunny had to admit that he was jealous of his friends' successful love lives. He walked into his algebra class where Christina sat next to him again. He knew this had to be his chance. It was his only shot.
"Hey."
She looked up at him and smiled. She had a beautiful smile… "Hey."
"Um….wow, how do I say this...?"
"Say what?"
"Will's girlfriend's having a party tomorrow and-"
"You wanna know if I can come with you."
Wow. She just practically read his mind. "Yeah."
"Sorry. I don't do parties."
He looked so visibly upset. He loved this girl and she turned him down? "Come on, Chris, you're in high school. Live a little."
"I know…I should, shouldn't I?" She asked him seriously.
He nodded in total agreement. "I know how you feel. My parents are pushing the schoolwork on me too. But you're still a teenager. Go out and have some fun. Relieve some stress, you know?"
She just smiled and rolled her deep brown eyes at him. She never realized how much they were alike. And he was a sweet boy…her parents would definitely approve. They seemed…perfect together. Maybe it was just her, but she wanted to be more than just friends with him.
"Fine. I'll go. For you."
He smiled and tried his best not to sporadically hug her like he wanted to. "Thanks. It means a lot, Chris."
"Don't mention it…"She threw him a blinding smile. She found her hand resting on top of his. Neither of them even seemed to notice.
He wanted so badly to just take her in his arms right now and confess his love for her. He wanted to tell her that she was beautiful and perfect.
But unfortunately for him, reality sunk in.
Score.
