"GO! Oh my God! RUN! What the hell are they doing? Throw the ball dammit!" Clare cringed and glanced at the over eager girl that sat next to her. She wasn't really a close friend but then again besides Alli, Clare didn't have too many close friends. The girl was in a couple of Clare's classes and had invited Clare to sit with her, probably just because Clare was becoming so popular due to her blossoming relationship with Drew. The stands were packed with tons of spectators who were all eagerly watching Degrassi play Powell High School. The scored was tied 7-7 with two minutes left in the second quarter.
"Heather, what exactly is going on?" Clare asked the sports fanatic who had finally stop screaming in Clare's ear.
"Okay, so Degrassi has the ball, they're on the forty yard line. It's a first down and they have four tries to make it to the thirty yard line. If they don't make it, they can try for a field goal which would give them three points. Now watch, Owen's going to snap the ball to Drew, and Drew is going to throw the ball to either KC or Danny." Clare watched as the scene described unfolded before her eyes. Owen handed the ball off to Drew, who glanced around the field for an open receiver. The linemen blocked Powell's defense from getting too close to the quarterback. Drew locked eyes with KC who was planted in the end zone. A smile unfolded on Drew's face as he drew his arm back and sent the ball spiraling towards KC. A defensive player from Powell leaped up in attempt to block KC from catching the ball, but KC jumped higher and managed the catch the ball sending the crowd, (mostly Heather) into cheers. The clock wound down signaling half time and Drew whipped his helmet off and jogged off the field, sending Clare a wink before doing so.
"You're so lucky." Heather sighed, obviously catching Drew's wink. Clare laughed and nodded her head.
"Yeah, I am pretty lucky, huh?" Too bad he's my best friend's boyfriend.
"Clare, we're going to go get some hot chocolate. Wanna come?" Heather gestured to her friend who Clare didn't know.
"No, that's okay, you guys go ahead!" She encouraged, plastering a smile on her face.
"Want us to bring you back anything?" What's-her-face asked, man I should really learn her name!
"No, thanks! I'm good." Clare smiled sweetly and turned to let the girls out. The girls smiled and went off on their way.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Miss Popular." Clare didn't have to turn to know the voice. Adam.
"Hi, Adam," She replied in a sing-song voice, scooting over to make room for him on the bleachers.
"Hi, Clare. How's everything going?" He smiled and sat down next to her.
"Oh great. I know nothing about football so Heather from our English class has decided to explain it to me." Adam laughs and adjusts his hat. He's wearing a black and white striped hoodie and jeans. "Nice school spirit by the way..." She adds sarcastically, grinning.
"Ha ha very funny. I'll have you know the only reason I'm here is to support my brother, just like you; however, I prefer to do it without wearing that ugly purple color," Adam remarks, sticking his tongue out at Clare.
"Drew is just so loved!" Clare jokes, pressing her hands to her heart and a faux dreamy look appearing on her face.
"Hold up now, you guys have been dating for like three days and you already love him?" Adam asks, eyes gleaming with mischief. Clare's face goes from shocked to tongue-tied to embarrassed.
"Oh you know what I meant!" She snaps, smacking him on the arm.
"Clare's in love, Clare's in love, Clare's in love," he repeated in a singsong voice, Clare's cheeks turned beet red, as she stuffed her head in her hands, mortified.
"Adam. Stop. It." She mumbled, her words slightly muffled by her hands. Adam laughed and patted her on the back.
"Oh, calm down, C! I'm just kidding! You probably don't even like my brother!" He joked, his eyes shining. Clare forced a laugh.
"Good one." Clare had never been happy to see Heather and what's-her-face in her life.
"Oh, hey, Adam!" Heather said cheerily as the pair slipped past Clare and took a seat next to her.
"Hey, Heather, Taylor." Ah Taylor! That was her name!
"Look, the third quarter's about to start!" Heather said enthusiastically.
"Great, you can continue giving me the play by play!" Clare joked. The teams ran back on to the field and Degrassi preformed their warmups led by Drew. The third quarter went by quickly, the score at 14-17, Degrassi was down and needed win.
The fourth quarter kicked off and neither of the teams scored. The clock wound down to less than a minute left. Degrassi had control of the ball on the 50 yard line. Drew managed to hand the ball off for a 10 yard gain, which landed the team on the 40 yard line. Drew glanced up at the scoreboard clock. 15.2 seconds. The clock began winding down and the team scattered around the field. The fans were all sitting on the edge of their seats. Now or never. Drew looked around the field and dodged the linemen attempting to bring him down. Suddenly, a look of detemination formed on Drew's faced and he confidently drew his arm back and released the ball, spending it soaring toward a wide open KC, standing in the end zone. KC's fingers clutched around the ball, and the crowd exploded. Clare and Adam jumped to their feet along with Heather and Taylor and cheered enthusiastically for Drew.
Drew pulled his helmet off to reveal his perfect smile. He gave KC a nod and patted him on the back. The team continued to celebrate, jumping up and down around Drew and KC. Drew laughed and turned and pointed at Clare as to say 'That was for you,' The girls around her squealed and all chattered eagerly.
"Are you going to go give him a hug or something?" Adam asked, bluntly. Clare's cheeks burned and she nodded slowly.
"Yeah, sure, I guess." Clare hesitantly followed Adam down the bleachers and around the clearing out fans. He led her around the crowds and to the edge of the gate where the tea, was clearing out. Drew's eyes lit up with happiness as he approached the two. He reached out and pulled Clare into his arms the second he was in arms length. Clare melted into his arms with her arms wrapped around his neck. She felt herself being lifted off the ground as he pulled her even close a spun her around. He put her down and gave her a smile before slapping his brother's palm.
"That was so amazing! You did so good!" Clare exclaimed rubbing his bicep. He grinned.
"Thanks, I hope my brother didn't drive you too crazy," He winked, and ruffled his hair.
"Hey!" Adam wailed, frowning.
"Not at all!" Clare smiled, giving Adam a reassuring smile.
"Hey, Drew, we're all gonna go for pizza. You guys coming?" KC asked awkwardly, appearing in front of the trio.
"Don't look at me!" Adam exclaimed, "I'm tired, I'm going home. You too go have fun!" Adam gave the pair a smile before heading off. Drew looked at Clare who gave him a smile.
"You sure?" he asked her, she nodded, "Okay sure, we're in! Just let me go shower!" With a hug he was off, trailing behind KC. Heather and Taylor appeared at Clare's side.
"This is going to be so much fun!" They squealed looping Clare's arm through theirs.
