Hey guys, I hope you like this chapter as much as I do. For all those thinking when BTR is showing up next chapter I promise.
"When did you two start going out?" Nic nudged Jo as she sighed. Jo stayed silent and crossed her arms.
"Come on, Jo, answer Nic's question?" Sara asked smiling.
"Why are you guys so interested?" Jo asked as Sara and Nic looked at each other.
"Because you and David are like so cute," Sara giggled.
"Fine, it has been about six months ok," Jo hissed as Sara looked satisfied.
"Hey, Lockheart. Pick a color why don't you," some girl screamed from behind her. Jo stood up and looked behind her.
"Hey, Louis Patenskie, it's a way of expressing myself, like for example your way of choosing to where prostitution clothing," Jo said as a few guys 'owed' next to her. Sara and Nic started laughing and gave each other a high five.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me, unless you got your ears clogged with wax," Jo said with a smile.
"Well at least I am not a freak of nature, wondering the hallways of this school going unnoticed," Louis called down.
"Well at least I am not a bimbo cheerleader obsessed with the star soccer player, who got kicked off the team because her grade scores," Jo laughed as Louise looked angrier.
"L.A. Central High, are you ready to watch a yet again winning game!" a person screamed over the inner com as Jo sat down.
"That was totally awesome," Nic laughed hugging Jo.
"Everyone is so scared of you when you do that," Sara laughed as the voice continued.
"Tonight's game Bay-front Bullfrogs," the announcer said as a bunch of guys in black and blue jerseys ran out onto the stage as a roar of 'boo' echoed through the stadium covering the cheers from the Bay-front side. "Vs. Los Angeles Central Ligers!" he said as the place now filled with screaming cheers. Kaylee, Xavier, David and the rest of the team came out wearing their blood red and lime green jerseys. David looked at Jo and smiled as she tried covering up her blush.
Their coach had pulled them in a circle and began saying something to them. Louis looked down at Jo and became very curious. David looked at his coach as the team broke apart and whispered to him something, Coach Higgins nodded and David ran over to the railing and waved Jo over. Jo shook her head in embarrassment as Nic and Sara tried pushing her up.
"Like you said to me last night, live a little," Nic screamed as Jo stood up and walked over to the railing.
"What is it?" she asked childishly as he grabbed the back of her neck. He leaned in and kissed her. "What…what was that for?" she laughed.
"My good luck charm," he smiled as she laughed and he walked on to the field. Jo sat back down and Nic and Sara started laughing.
Louis' face was twisted and her mouth had dropped. "Louis, are you ok?" Tommy asked as she shook her head.
KayKay took her spot as the Center Forward as Xavier took Goalie, and David took Left Fullback. "Don't chip a nail princess," a guy a foot taller than her.
"Oh you should be watching out for me," she hissed as he laughed.
"Who knew that little…"
"Watch it," KayKay smiled divinely as the whistle blew. She immediately kicked the ball back and Rick Belling took over. She crossed behind Rick, "Fish in a Barrel," she said quickly as he nodded and motioned his hand in the air. Fish in a Barrel was created by her that was never tested and it was about time. Everyone from the back ran forward and circled in on Rick. When they got close to the goal they all dispersed and left the ball while the other players ran for it KayKay slid in and kicked the ball barely getting the ball in the goal. The entire stadium rose in cheers and screams. Jo, Sara, and Nic stood up and began dancing.
"I see you guys never drop tradition?" Cameron said hugging his sister. "Jo, I haven't seen you all year, what senior year and your too busy to say high?" Cameron crossed his arms.
"Come on Cameron, you know how it is sure my senior year is a little busier than yours but why don't you call and see if I can hang out?" she laughed as he pouted. Both teams returned to the center of the field.
"Nice shot princess, bet you can't do it again?"
"I bet you I can," KayKay smiled. The game proceeded and by the fourth quarter L.A. Central had 10, while Bay-front was one point behind.
"Come on Kill THEM!" Jo screamed as Sara started laughing. The ref blew the whistle and KayKay took the ball she started running toward the goal and Xavier. She stopped and turned around and noticed David was open. She kicked it toward Rick and Bay-front had gotten the ball and kicked it pass Xavier tying the game.
"KayKay, you saw I was wide open, what happened?" David asked running over to her.
"Shut up, David," she barked walking away as he grabbed her wrist. She turned around and pulled her arm away. "Don't you dare touch me," she hissed.
"What is your problem?"
"My problem is you going behind my back," she barked.
"Guys, can you fight over this when we get home," Xavier said as she looked at him and nodded before walking away. She ran back to the center and looked angrier.
"Oh little family crisis?" the guy taunting her the entire game teased. The whistle blew and the guy kicked the ball at the same time she did and he tripped over it landing on her as all the air escaped her body. She laid on the floor holding her stomach trying to breathe. Jo, Sara, and Nic stood up looking in shock as the rest of the stadium.
"Is she ok?" someone whispered as their coach ran out and helped her up.
"Are you ok?" he asked as KayKay shook her head. "It's ok, take a seat, you did great today," he said placing her on the bench. "Joey, you're up," he said pointing to the field as Joey Peppercorn ran out. The medics they had on campus started examining Kaylee.
"Come on Ref that was a red!" Jo yelled as a few people snickered behind her.
"Jo, its ok we are still going to win," Sara laughed as the ref blew the whistle again. After that whistle blew everything went in slow motion from there. Joey being a freshman and barely playing missed the ball and the guy who injured Kaylee earlier took the ball and stormed down the center of the field. Everyone was for some reason to slow until Rick caught up and kicked the ball toward David, he took it and started running when the guy slammed into David, he lost his balance turned around and slammed his face into the pole. The whistle was blown and the stadium filled with Gasps and Jo looked as if she saw a ghost. David laid on the side of the field holding his face barely moving.
The ref ran over and held up a red card forcing the guy out of the game. Coach Higgins ran out while Jo grabbed onto Sara and Nic's hand. Kaylee looked up and her face transformed and all the hatred vanished. Jo let her friends hands go and jumped over the railing and ran onto the field, that is when Kaylee's anger came back. Xavier and Coach Higgins wear trying everything to keep him awake. The medics had already called an ambulance as the entire stadium stayed silent. Xavier grabbed Jo and tried holding her back.
"How is he?" she asked as he didn't say a word. "Xavier, answer me."
"He may have a small concussion and MAY have a broken nose," he said as Jo slowly walked over. David opened his eyes and with his less bloody hand reached out for Jo and she grasped his hand tightly. Five minutes of trying to keep him awake the ambulance finally showed up and drove onto the field. The medics had strapped him up and placed him in the back.
"You want to come?" one asked Jo as she nodded and got on the ambulance. David looked at her and she started rubbing his arm as the paramedics began taking care of him. Jo hadn't shed one tear which felt like a miracle to her.
"KayKay, are you ok?" Sara asked running down the stairs and sat next to her. Kaylee stayed silent as Nic made her way over.
"Bay-front has been disqualified for recklessness," the ref called as L.A. Central went back to cheering.
"KayKay, are you ok?" Nic asked.
"I'm such a horrible person," KayKay said almost crying.
"Why do you say that?" Nic asked sitting next to her.
"Because God is punishing me for hurting my step brother and Jo," she said as a tear ran down her face.
"No, don not blame yourself or God for this accident. It was an accident, nothing else," Sara barked hugging Kaylee as she cried.
"Kaylee, come on if you feel so bad why don't you go and apologize?" Xavier asked walking over to his sister.
"Hey Kaylee," Louis called as Kaylee looked up and turned around. "Beep, Beep, Beeeeeeeeeeeeeee-" she laughed making a dead motion with her body as Kaylee's mouth dropped and her heart had fallen in her stomach.
"Louis shut up," Xavier snapped walking toward her as she flinched and ran away. "Do I have permission?"
"No, Xavier," Kaylee snapped.
"Permission for what?" Nic asked.
"Teach that bitch a lesson," he snapped.
"Xavier, it's Witch," Sara corrected him.
"I want to see this," Nic smiled grabbing Xavier's arm.
"Xavier, no!" Kaylee screamed as they disappeared in the hallway. Nic and Xavier ran out of the stadium and found Louis standing in front of her car talking to a few people.
"What is your problem?" Xavier asked walking up to Louis.
"Oh how cute, little miss goody two shoes and the goalie a couple," Louis smiled as Nic laughed and Xavier looked at her funny.
"Anyway you better watch it," he continued. Nic looked at her watch and saw how late it was.
"I got to go, I'll see you later," Nic said as she ran to her photography class which was conveniently next to her school.
"Aw, so sad, Shane would never be your girlfriend," Louis said trying to get under Xavier's skin.
"Please, she is my sister's friend I don't like her," he shrugged.
"Oh I see the way you look at her in Photo Op II, and I notice all your pictures of scenery somehow always get her head or hand in your pictures, huh?"
"Just stay out of my personal life, ok?"
"I bet she comes to you for everything and then you can't tell her how you really feel am I right?"
"Good bye," he said sarcastically walking away.
