Molly's POV
One week later
This last week I have never felt so alone in my life. Everyone kept blowing me off for Rachel, especially Nate. Every time I tried to make plans with him he would already have plans with Rachel. I was starting to really dislike her. Not only that but at cheer she would try to take over, and she wasn't that great of cheerleader at that. She could barley do a cartwheel but for the sake of having my boyfriend mad at me, I kept her on the squad. I didn't say anything to her to make her mad, I was nothing but nice. Since I had every right to be the nastiest person ever to her, I just didn't say anything. She seemed to hate me; she would say these snide comments to me only when it was just the two of us though. I don't know why I had never done anything to her. She had my life that I had been missing. She had all of my best friends except for Katie, my boyfriend, they would do stuff together all the time. While I would just sit at home and do nothing. I went to school, went to cheer practice, came home, ate, did homework, and went back to sleep. But today was the day that was all going to change I was going to get my life back.
It was a Friday and there was a football game tonight. Shane and Nate are on the team. It was tradition that after every game Nate and I would go out just the two of us. If he bailed on me again tonight, I was going to loose my freaking mind. For his sake he better have not made any plans with her. I was in room getting ready for the game. I had already put on my red and black uniform. I was in the middle of French braiding my bangs, and pulled them back with a bobby pin. I was going to leave it down until the start of the game, I had straightened it and I was going to leave it down until the last possible moment. I went and grabbed my cheer bag and put my purse, warm ups, red and black ribbon, and water bottle in. I slung it over my shoulder and walked out of my room and down the stairs to the kitchen. My dad was sitting at the table reading the paper while my mom was cutting vegetables on the counter.
"Okay I'm leaving" I said going over to my mom giving her a hug.
"Okay sweetie good luck, we will be at the game tonight when it starts. Oh here is your food to take with you" she said hugging me back and handing me my sandwich.
I thanked her and walked over to my dad. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, and left.
I pulled into the school parking lot in my silver Land Rover 4 with music blasting through my speakers. I pulled into my usual stall and pulled my iPod out of the aux cord and stuffed it into my cheer bag with the rest of my stuff. I put the strap on my shoulder and hoped out of my car. I locked the door and headed towards the girls locker room. I was the first one in there, no one was supposed to be here for like another hour. I went over to my locker and set my stuff down. I wouldn't need it while I waited for the rest of the team.
I unzipped the bag and pulled out my head phones and iPod. I walked to the gym while I scrolled through my cheer playlist. I was going to perfect my new routine for Regional's that was coming up before I taught it to the team. I put the ear buds in and started up the music. I waited for the right cue then started to dance and do the stunts I could do without my team. After practicing for about 45 minutes going over it at least ten times, I decided to go back into the locker room. I noticed most of the girls there. I told them to start heading up to the football stadium. I grabbed my bag and put my iPod away and started to follow them up to the field. When I got there I saw all the girls waiting for me. I put my stuff down and walked in front of the girls.
"All right girls were going to start by two laps around the track" I said then started to jog around the field.
Once we finished with the two laps we started to stretch, I really didn't want or need for someone to pull a muscle because they were not warmed up right.
The football players came onto the field just as we were getting done with warming up. They started to get ready for the game as well, and were distracting some of the girls. I saw Rachel staring at someone, so I followed her gaze. I reached to where she was looking, and who was it. Nate. shocker. He was passing the ball back and forth to Shane. I just rolled my eyes, and turned back to the team.
"Okay girls, we need to go over the routine for half time a couple of times. I want to make sure we are perfect." I yelled so everyone could hear me.
I pulled out my Itouch and found the music I was looking for. I hooked it up to the stereo we brought up from the locker room. I started the music and all the girls got into place. I started to count as they did the routine. I noticed Rachel on the end; she was doing very well with this routine, maybe because I choreographed something especially for her that I knew she would be able to do. Which wasn't a lot.
Before I knew the game was going to start in five minutes and the stands were already packed. I walked over to my bag to drink some of my water. I felt two arms wrap around me from behind, I smiled finally happy that Nate came over. I turned around in his arms and smiled up at him. He leaned down and kissed me passionately. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. After a couple seconds I pulled away.
"Was that your way of saying hi?" I asked wiping off some lip gloss that had smeared.
He laughed "Hi" .
I smiled again I had missed him this last week.
"I missed you today" he said sweetly.
I blushed and looked down, good to know that. it made me feel a little bit better about him ditching me all week. Although I was still mad, now was not the place to talk about it. I also didn't want the only time I have really even talked to him this week, to have us fighting. I looked over at the scoreboard noticing the game was about to start.
I looked back at Nate "good luck baby" I said kissing him quickly again.
"You too" he smiled giving me one last pack before walking towards the coach.
I looked to my right and saw Rachel glaring at me. Okay what the hell? He is my boyfriend so why should she even be mad. Ugg whatever. I pulled the hair tie off my wrist and pulled my hair up. I grabbed my pom poms out of my bag and walked over to the rest of the squad and started to cheer.
It was half time and we were ahead by seven. Nate ran by as we made our way out onto the field. He winked at me and I winked back. Grinning I got into place waiting for the music to begin. I loved performing and cheer, it always got my mind off of things. Soon the routine that I had choreographed ended and the crowd stood up and cheered. We walked off and I watched as the game started again. We lined up on the track preparing to go in twos doing a series of back flips and other stunts. At the end of the fourth quarter we stopped cheering for a minute and I decided to watch the rest of the game.
I watched as Shane pass the ball fifty yards in a perfect arc into Nicks hands as he ran the rest of the way down the field scoring a touchdown and wining us the game. The cheerleaders ran out onto the field. All the guys were huddled around Nate cheering him on. Once they saw me the new to get out of my way so I could get to him. When I did finally get to him I jumped on him in a bear hug. He wrapped his arms around me and spun me around while I giggled.
When he put me down I grinned up at him "Congratulations superstar".
He smirked back down at me "I couldn't have done it without my lucky charm".
I rolled my eyes playfully "Really Nate really, I bet you only said that so I would kiss you". He laughed at me "Okay so you are right".
"You know if you want me to kiss you all you have to do is ask "I said flirting with him a little.
"Kiss me".
As soon as those words left his mouth I pulled him into a knee weakening kiss When we pulled apart he had a massive smile on his face.
"I love you" he whispered resting his forehead against mine.
"I love you too" I said.
I couldn't stop smiling I was feeling a lot better just being in his arms.
I really want to know what you guys think of this story so please leave me a review. Also how do you guys feel about Dick, it makes me mad. Not that I am not happy that Nick, cause I am. I just don't think he should be dating a 26 year old, it is a little creepy. Anyways follow me on twitter. Love all of you sooo much.
Love, Hope4Niley
