Finally, like two normal, average teenagers, Stephan and I went to a football game. I had just recently joined the cheer team again and Caroline was completely obliging to let me back on. After all, she could just hypnotize other girls to be accepting and what are best friends for, anyways? This was my first game since I quit. Stephan was out running on the field, being tactful to run fast, but not too fast. I beamed while watching him, pom poms on my hips, before turning back to the crowd and following the rest of the girls through the cheer.
I chant in unison with them, a big smile on my face. Laughing inwardly at the irony, I think about how quickly my world turned into chaos. With all that is going on, it's hard to find a smile these days. Now I have to force it for three hours straight. But it makes me feel almost normal again. I'm just an ordinary girl, a cheerleader, with a hot boyfriend. The rest of the game goes by quick and slow at the same time. My muscles are getting tired with so much activity and I know I'll be sore tomorrow.
Stephan scores a touchdown and his teammates rush to congratulate him. I smirk before turning my back on him and scan the crowd. Bonnie waves to me from the top of the bleachers. I grin before being spun around and before I know what's going on, I feel Stephan's lips crushing down on my own. I close my eyes and kiss Stephan back as I hear the crowd go wild. We break apart but our faces are close and I stare into his pale, green eyes, enjoying what feels like eternity.
