Chapter 9
~Buford~
It was a Friday morning in November, a couple or a least a month after Baljeet and Ginger got together, I knew it was be an awesome day since I figured out Milly truly genuinely from the bottom of her heart liked me
I also had the pleasure of seeing Baljeet and Ginger for the Homecoming Game, Dance a month earlier. I also had the pleasure of seeing Milly at the game but not the dance
*Afternoon a least a half an hour before the football team was to depart for the Game*
~Buford~
I looked to see Milly at her locker
She looked as if she was packing 5 first aid kits in her back although her actual backpack had one first aid kit with enough supplies to be considered 3 first aid kits
This made me slightly nervous, but the fact that Milly was a Fireside girl with the Most Medical Themed patches, kind of eased my Nerves
I escort her to the field where we were to wait on the bleachers until the Coach arrived
Normally I'd kill time by thinking of Baljeet and Ginger But my mind is else where like "How long ago did she start liking me," or "aside from the wink and Cheek kiss, Did she drop any hints", or even "Will I remotely be able to please her if we were to start Dating should it come to it"
Those particular questions among other things kept me occupied I Didn't even see the Coach come
"ALL Right Boys Fall in" I heard the Coach call from the center of the field
I quickly stand up and I make my way towards the coach
We were in a kneeling circle The Coach has us do whenever he calls for a meeting
"I wish to say, To each and everyone of you boys, it is thanks to my coaching, your skill, Strength, determination, will to win, and devotion to the game, it is thanks to all of you we have climbed high in the District Rankings, Now the Victorville Heralds want a piece of us on there field, If we claim victory in this Away Game We will be in the Finals for the this years super bowl"
"Now, who is Going to feel our Wrath," He Says "Them" We All Chant
"Who are we gonna send Home Crying?" He Says "Them" We All Chant
"Who we Gonna Crush" He Says "Them" We All Chant
"Who's Gonna Crush us" He says, 99.90% of the team says nothing the who spoke was Jakob our squirrely in the head Runner back, who unwittingly said "Them", The Coach said "Gotcha" as a response We all kind of gave him a shove for falling for that joke
(A/N I Got that Idea from the Movie the Longest Yard Starring Adam Sandler)
"All Right Boys, Get Your Gear, Get your Effects (A/N yes I use a Jack Sparrow Term, for items to use for down time), escort your guest to Bus, And Remember once your guest is on the Bus He or She is your responsibility for the entire bus ride" Coach said in his traditional tone like one would dismiss someone from the Conversation
(A/N I'll Nut shell what happens on the bus' The Offensive and Defensive were on separate bus', They Were both On Coach Bus' The Team Brought a couple DVDs to watch, to pass the time. Milly who was looking out the window enjoying the sights, was also happy that Buford the Man whom she fancied had invited her over everybody in the entire graduating class, She Would pass a glance over at Buford)
*Victorville High, Locker Room, at least 15 minutes before the Game was scheduled to begin*
~Buford~
The Atmosphere in the Locker room was so tense one could cut it with a Knife, Heck a Chain Saw if possible
I had finished My Pregame Rituals I take a look at all the other players some them had finished like I Did some were wrapping up
Not Two Seconds after Kevin Our Quarter Back had finished his pregame ritual the Coach Walked in
"Time to Rock and Roll Boys, Let's go get them"
*After the Game*
~Buford~
It was unbelievable, The Victorville High Lost so bad we might as well have been literally kicking their butts up and Down the field
Because the final score 120-6, Half of those touchdowns were partially due to the fact that I Managed to tackle their QB into our end zone the ref game us the point but it was after they scored hector Fastest Runner back on our team got nailed in the Knees by one of their guards They Finally surrendered after all their Runner backs Regulars and Reserves were Hospitalized by me
But thanks to Milly's First Aid Skills, Hector's injury was patched up quite nicely
A part of me had always admired her, and mind you this was long before I knew she liked me
Milly was such a sweet girl, despite all the hatred I heard through rumor that she grew up with, she was a selfless and uncommonly kind girl She very much like Phineas had that ability to Love Unconditionally
That was a reason I why I liked her as a silent and invisible crush I hid from everyone
We showered, and got into some street cloths, we grab our things and Headed back to the Bus
After the Coach had done a head count I Decided to get a little shut eye
~Milly~
I couldn't believe it either
I wasn't sure if my presence their had something to do with it or was it the fact that the other team's head wasn't in the game
But one fact Remained I was at an away game where Paladins claimed Victory
I placed my head on his shoulder, It was faint but I could hear his heartbeat
It was very pleasant feeling to hear that heartbeat I did find it strange that Buford heartbeat was beating a little quicker then usual for someone taking a little nap
But then it hit me, The rescue, The Season pass as a gift, the unusual amount of niceness towards me, it all made sense Someone tipped Buford off about my Crush on him
But the only person I ever told was Ginger, Who I confided with since she was shy in the game of openly liking Baljeet
I pull out my Phone pulled up Gingers Number and hit dial
"Hey Ginger, its Milly" I said as she picked up
"I'm just gonna go straight to the point, You Tipped Buford off about my crush on him didn't you" I said slightly Annoyed
"Say what now you told him to look me up sometime, He didn't get it first… Oh I get it you said those things and Buford found out on his own" I said finally understanding Gingers motive
"We'll Talk later Ginger until then" I said as I Hung up
I slide my Phone back in my Bag I then placed a hand on Buford's Shoulder I shake his shoulder quite vigorously
"Buford Wake up, We're Back" I say to him
I see the rest of the team head to the locker room for various items and must needs I glance At Buford to see him standing in the middle of the field
* Shortly After The rest of the team left*
~Milly~
I walk over to Buford, to see him looking up at the stars which were very easy since the Custodian traditionally had the lights off with the exception of the lights over by the school
He seemed at peace looking at the stars I began wondering what he was thinking
~Buford~
I could sense Milly Standing beside me
Deep down I knew, keeping quiet would only make this worse, I plucked up
"So" I said getting her attention Milly turns to face me "How long have you been crushing on me" I asked as lightly as my hand can grab
(A/N End Chapter, A real good emotion provoking question, what shall be your Answer Milly? Review me, and I'll Bang out the FINAL Chapter for next week)
