Chapter 10: Time isn't waisted when you're getting wasted
Friday night, Jump City had their last football game before football season ended. It was their last home game and they were determined to win. So far they've had 9 wins and 1 loss.
The crowd was huge, as usual, and The cheerleaders were on the track getting warmed up. Jade sat in a chair close to them as her casted leg was propped up on another chair.
Kori and Karen walked over to her. "Hey Jade. What's that one crowd involvement we do?" Asked Kori.
Jade though for a moment trying to figure out which one the red head was talking about. "Oh!" She finally said, "The one where you say 1! We are the Titans!"
"2! A little bit louder!" Karen added on.
And Kori finished with, "3! I still can't hear you! We are number 1! Yeah that's it! I like that one."
Jade nodded and smiled. She glanced at the scoreboard and according to the timer, they had two minutes left before the game started.
"Ladies! Get ready!" Angel shouted. All the cheerleaders lined up on the track in formation.
The buzzer rang and the game started. In the stands sat, Jenny, Wally, Gar, Rachel, Toni, and Alain. Rachel was if course reading though. Jenny clapped and cheered while Wally simply sat there with a bored expression. Toni and Alain seemed to really hit it off since he moved in Jump City. They'd been hanging out a lot more often.
"So what's it like back where you lived?" Toni asked Alain while eyeing the quarter back on the opposing team.
"Well..it was pretty there. Real nice and my girlfriend misses me as much as I miss her."
Toni snapped her head to him and confusingly said, "Your...girlfriend?"
Alain nodded his head and he cheered as he saw his cousin tackle the quarterback. "Yeah." He then started to smile and ten burst out in laughter. "I'm totally kidding. I'm single and I'm really bad at relationships."
Toni felt a wave of relief wash over her. She then asked, "Bad? At relationships?" She leaned forward to get a better view of his expression. Toni noticed a few girls staring at Alain and giggling. Obviously, they were find of him.
"Well, I'm just not good with them. I sometimes say the wrong things or don't put in enough effort. I don't know, I'm also not looking for one right now." He looked at Toni intently and then glanced back at the football field.
Toni was about to reply until the squeaky girls started to giggle and point at Alain. She glared at them and they immediately shut up. She turned back to Alain and said, "Oh," her shoulders slumped and she faced the field, "Me either..I mean I can't really even keep a relationship."
"Why do you say that?"
Toni looked down and sighed. "I'm just..different from others. Ya know, like I have a weird gift or whatever you want to call it..." She mumbled the last part but Alain seemed to hear this.
"Really? What kind of gift?"
She mentally smacked herself for even saying anything and frantically tried finding an excuse to make up. Just then, she was saved by the bell which was the start of half time.
"Uhmm, I need to go to the bathroom." She quickly got up and headed for the bathrooms. Alain watched her go until she disappeared behind the bleachers.

When fourth quarter came around, the Titans were tied with the Jack City panthers. The score was 35-35 and the crowd was going wild during every play. The cheerleaders were cheering their hardest and the football players were busting their asses out on the field. You could say this was a tough team.
There was exactly 2 minutes left of the game and the JC Titans were on thin ice. The football players quickly got into position on the field.
"Down!" Yelled the quarter back for the home team, Macs Mickey.
"Set!" They readied theirselves.
"Hut!" The opposing players launched at them like rhinoceroses.
Macs Mickey quickly ran forward looking for any of his teammates that were open. There were none. He tucked the ball under his arm and plunged through the crowd. Within three seconds he was thrown on his back. A chorus of 'Oooos' were heard.
"Dude are you okay?" Asked Roy, who gave him a hand up.
Macs took the hand and was obviously pissed off. "C'mon Titans! Get it together!"
Roy followed behind the football captain and readied another stance. When Macs called out "Down, Set, Hut!" They began the process again.
After about three more plays. They were still tied and there was only twenty seconds left.
"Oh my god. I think I'm gonna puke!" Shouted Karen dramatically.
"NO. No no no!" Kori quickly said. Karen made a cringed face and turned back to the game.
The final play was called and Macs said his usual mantra that started the play.
The well built quarter back looked around frantically for one of his teammates. He saw Victor Stone wide open an it was as if everything happened in slow motion. He threw the ball to Vic just before getting tackled.
15 seconds.
Vic caught it with ease and the crowed roared with excitement. He quickly ran for the end zone.
10 seconds.
Before Vic got tackled he passed the ball to Roy who then ran faster to the end zone.
5 seconds.
Roy made it to the touchdown which sent the score up to 37-35. The loud buzzer sounded through the whole field, signaling that the game was over and the JC Titans had win their last crowd was now on their feet shouting victory cries an cheers with the cheerleaders. Macs, Roy, and the rest of the team huddled around and jumped for joy.
"Victory Party at my house tonight!" Shouted Macs. Everyone cheered and clapped.
Soon, most of Jump City High headed out to Macs Mickey's big party. Gotta love Friday night football games.

"Great job Roy!"
"Hey awesome job tonight Guys!"
"You're amazing!"
The football team was standing in Macs's gigantic living room, which was currently a dance floor, and accepting all the great compliments. It was about 10:30 and the party was alive, upbeat, and well..just your typical party.
There was alcohol, no parents, and other unmentionables. Everyone was enjoying themselves. Especially Roy, who was getting a lot of attention from not only popular senior guys, but also super hot upperclassmen girls.
Jade had been on her crutches all night by Roy's side watching girls throw themselves at him. And she wasn't having any fun.
"Hey Roy, you wanna go sit out front or somethin?" She asked as a blonde cheerleader slung her arm around his shoulder.
"Uhh, not now babe." Roy laughed at a joke Johnny Rancid, a big, buff junior, had just said.
"Oh..okay." Jade stared at Roy, who wasn't paying any attention to her and she simply just walked away to sit out on the front porch.

"C'mon Kor!" Jenny said as she pulled Kori towards the kitchen. "I want you to meet a friend of mine."
Jenny pulled her to one of the many counters where a tall blonde guy with blue eyes stood. He was utterly attractive.
Jenny had spotted Kori standing alone in a corner and suggested she met a guy or loosened up a bit. Jenny was also a little tipsy.
"I really shouldn't Jenn..." Kori tried pulling away from her drunken friend but failed miserably.
Jenny ignored her and pulled the red head up to the blonde. "Hey Chad!" Chad turned to see Jenn and Kori. He looked Kori up and down and smiled bigger.
"Hey Pinkster. Who's your pretty friend?" Chad referred to Jenny as 'Pinkster' because of her pink eyes and hair.
Kori held out her hand and said, "Kori Anders. Nice to meet you."
"Chad Jameson. Pleasure is all mine." Chad kissed Kori's hand and the redhead blushed furiously.
"Well seems like my work here is done. See ya!" Jenn left the two teens in the kitchen and they stood there for a moment in silence. All that was heard was the loud music an a couple of guys yelling 'Chug! Chug! Chug!' In the dining room.
"Would you like to dance?"
Kori looked at him as at the dance floor then back at him. With a smile she said, "Sure."

Okay, so maybe Chad had given Kori a little too much to drink. She was plastered and dancing her butt away. She was a great dancer and could sure twerk. Chad was enjoying himself and obviously wanted her to get drunk. Kori had never even finished three beers before she had gotten wasted.
"Hey lets go upstairs." Chad began to pull Kori through the crowd and up the stairs. She followed him and started to realize where this was going.
"Hey..lets go back downstairs." She tried to turn to go the other way but failed.
Chad pulled her into a room and locked the door.
"Hey let me out!" She screamed. He shushed her and began to kiss her on the mouth and neck. His hands explore her petite body and she roughly pushed him away.
"Get off!" She turned to leave but Chad grabbed her and threw her in the ground. Kori let out a scream and he came at he again, this time unbuttoning her jeans.
"No!" She tried to push him off guy he was too strong. Everything was going horribly wrong and Kori was sober enough to know she was about to get raped. So gathering whatever strength she had left in her she opened her mouth and yelled, "HELP!"
