Today was the football try outs and Grant had spent the whole day yesterday prepping. And by prepping I mean spending the rest of the day after school at the gym. He wanted to make sure that he made the team.
Macey decided on my outfit this morning, settling with a quarter length green sleeved top, kinda baseball style with a design in the middle. Dark wash skinny jeans and dark green converse. A heart shaped locket and a pair of big chunky white sunglasses. Macey was dressed similarly.
When we arrived at school I immediately saw Zach throwing the football with some guys. Who, weren't that bad looking, if I saw so myself. Grant walked over to them and greeted them with this man handshake thing. Macey and I headed over to Liz and Bex. They were watching the boys.
Just then a red convertible pulled in and a squealing girl ran out. She had blonde hair but you could tell that it was dyed because you could see her brown roots. She also had brown eyes with a short mini blue dress that barely covered her thighs. Ohh this must be Tina the school slut. (AN: sorry if that's not what Tina looks like)
She ran over to the boys and practically threw herself at Zach. WHAT THE HELL?!?! Zach flirts with me when he's got a girlfriend. I was about to look away when Zach shoved her off him. Huh? I strained my ears to hear the conversation.
" I told you Tina I'm not interested, so just stay away. Besides I like someone else." I may just be imagining thing but I'm pretty sure I saw his eyes dart towards me. I didn't hear the rest of the conversation because the tardy bell was going off signaling time for first period.
I walked into Mr. Solomon's class on time. I already knew half the stuff so I zoned out. The announcements came on signaling the end of period 1.
"Good morning Roseville Panthers! Are you ready for Football tryouts after school today? You better be if we want to win the Homecoming game next week. Speaking of which, everybody will be casting their votes for our homecoming court in advisory. Better start picking out our dresses ladies. Have a good day." My mom's voice echoed.
As I get up to leave I feel several pairs of eyes on me. I turn around and I see that it's Zach, Josh and another football player. They all take a step towards me and I know what's coming. I run past them and into my next class without stopping at my locker. The rest of my day is spent avoiding contact with allboys. I even thought about not going to the tryouts but I couldn't let Grant down like that.
So I made sure that I was last to arrive on the school football field. Luckily they hadn't started yet. There were a few people on the bleachers watching, I spotted Macey and went to sit next to her. They started off by doing some drills. The coach had paired them off into twos to practice throwing and catching.
Guess who Grant was with? None other than Zach. They were both doing well and after 15 minutes the coach wanted to practice on different teams. Josh and Grant were on the same team as well as some other guys. Zach and the guy who was staring at her earlier were on the other team.
"The guy who is talking to Zach is Jarrod, I saw him staring at you earlier" I turn to look at her I see her waggling her eyebrows up and down. I can feel myself blush and sink down in my seat on the bleachers. I take this opportunity to take a closer look at Jarrod. He had light brown hair that was gelled up in the front and from what I could see he had light clear blue eyes. He was obviously hot.
I knew the first time I saw Josh that he was the type of guy who treats pretty girls like crap. Definitely not going with him .I thought to myself. Hmm Jarrod and Zach are both worthy, so it depends on who wants me. When the coach blew the whistle I snapped out of my thoughts.
(AN: SORRY GUYS NOT GOOD AT DESCRIBING FOOTBALL)!
Apparently Grant's team had the ball and he was fixing to throw it but when he threw it to Josh, it was intercepted by Jarrod. I mean I kinda expected that cause really Josh didn't seem ready. The rest of practice was like this: one team had the ball the other intercepted. But in the end each team got in a few touch downs. Grant seemed like he had a pretty good chance. The practice game was in overtime each team had 17 points.
Again Grant was throwing it to Josh who was ready at the other side of the field. As the ball was in the air a figure came out of nowhere and knocked Josh to the ground before sprinting to the other side with the ball, dodging everyone. I soon realized that it was Jarrod. He obviously made the touch down. No surprise there.
What did surprise me and a few other people I'm sure is the fact that before making the touch down Jarrod turned in my direction looked me straight in the eye and winked. AT ME.
