Chapter 14: Tackling in the Rain
"I hate Mondays." I growled as I sat in English with Stella and Danny.
"You've been saying that ALL DAY." Stella whispered sharply so the teacher wouldn't hear us. We were supposed to write a short poem about something but we all got bored so we were talking. "We got it, you hate Mondays."
"Wow Stella, that may have been the nicest thing you've said all day." Cook smirked peering over his paper.
"Says Mr. Snarky over there. What are you writing anyways?"
"The assignment?" I slowly took the paper away from him but he grabbed for it. "Come on Keish! Give it back! It's not done yet! Trust me, it sucks!"
Completely colorblind, these red lights are going unseen
Fall behind with words unsaid you know they're always obscene
'cause my ears, they bled before; I need to let them heal
She fell out; her broken legs won't let her walk away
From this town that couldn't give a single shit either way
And her fears, they bled before she's convinced that they're real
What are you looking for?
Are you looking for something more?
It's not me
"Danny…this is really good." I said as Danny snatched it away.
"God sometime I just want to chop your arms off." Danny mumbled as he put the paper back on his desk before Stella took it off his desk. "Why don't I just publish it in the paper?"
"Well you should, this is really good." Stella said looking at it. "And I don't say that often so feel good!"
"Oh yeah, I'm just ecstatic." Danny said sarcastically taking the paper back and shoving it in his backpack before anyone could say anything. "So you guys, wanna hang after school? We're going to the soccer field and playing extreme Frisbee."
"Sure!" I said. "I'm in!"
"Me too." Stella agreed. "Only if I get to be on the same team as Keisha."
Danny inhaled and looked up before answering.
"Deal."
"Messer, Thomas, Bonasra don't make me split you up because you'll just yell to each other from across the room." The teacher called from her desk and we all shut up and looked down at the papers on our desks.
"Meet at the soccer field at 3:30."
"MR. MESSER!"
"Why is it always me you catch talking?! Why can't you ever catch Keisha or Stella?" Stella and I looked to the front of the classroom where the teacher was and waved.
"Because, Mr. Messer, they are discreet about not talking. Plus, they show up for classes on a regular basis."
"That's not fair either, I show up! I'm just…late a lot."
"Sure Mr. Messer…sure."
"All right, so the teams are as follows." Danny said as we all gathered on the field. True to plan, we were all there except for Hawkes, because he had a yearbook meeting and would join us later. The only complaint I had was walking onto the field and seeing Flack wearing…rugby shorts…That is a sight I never wanted to see. Ever. "Team 1 is me, Stella, Sid, Montana, and Ken."
"Team 2 is myself, Keisha, Adam, and Ryan. Can we get Hawkes when he comes because Keisha like, half a person."
SLAP!
"For a short person, you slap hard." Flack muttered rubbing his face. "That's going to leave a rather ugly red mark.
"Well, you deserve it!" Ryan yelled before turning her back to him. "I'm not talking to you."
"Ryan…"
"No, go away Flack!" Danny watched them argue before clearing his throat.
"Sure you can have Hockey, we don't need him anyways. We got a rockin' team!" Danny yelled and his team all high fived.
"Team huddle!" Flack called and we huddled on the other side of the field away from Danny's group. "I did not assemble you guys for your Frisbee skills, I chose you because I like you as people. So let's just make it through alive and make sure no one steps on Keisha."
SLAP!
"Sorry. Anyways, just don't throw to Adam. Because he can't catch. Seriously."
"I'm sure he can do something." Ryan said, trying to stick up for poor Brooke who was now blushing in embarrassment. Flack knows how to get people really embarrassed like that.
"No…I can't catch. It's sad. I'm not even sure why I'm here."
"Aw it's okay, that's why we have Ryan and Flack." I said, putting my arm around Ryan and Flack's shoulder. Ryan smiled and laughed while Flack just looked smug. "Oh! I can HEAR your ego getting bigger!"
"Don't prick his head with a pin, it'll deflate." Adam said as we approached the other team. I could hear Stella yelling at Danny from the other side of the field. Good Lord that girl has got quite the set of lungs there.
"You said you'd put me and Keisha on the same team!"
"Well, I need someone mean! And you were the perfect person for that! Plus Johns already called Keisha so I had to improvise!" Flack called me? Aw…
"All righty Sir Messer! Get your team ready to be defeated!" Flack called as we walked over. Danny looked up and flashed us a gamer's grin.
"You wish Flack-Attack."
"Team!" Flack yelled and we all started singing.
WE WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU!
WE WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU!
Danny could not stop laughing as we were singing and I tripped on some mud and fell on Ryan who caught me. "Be careful."
"Aww thank you Ryan!" I said,
"Go!"
We all ran to the other side of the field as Flack threw the Frisbee and it headed for Ryan. He caught it but threw it to Adam, to give her a chance to redeem himself. He, of course, dropped it.
Sid picked it up and threw it almost across the field to Danny who then threw it at Stella who snagged it out of the air but was tackled by Flack. Oh yeah, did I mention this was tackle extreme Frisbee?
"Flack!"
"Sorry Stella!" Stella smacked his shoulder before standing up.
"Yeah! Way to take one for the team!" Danny called slapping Stella on the back. She slapped his back as well and he hunched over. "Ow."
"Don't slap me."
"Got it."
I was playing my heart out. Danny got the Frisbee and I tackled his legs and held onto them as he pitched forward hitting the ground.
"ALL RIGHT KEISHA!" Flack yelled and high fived me as I got up. Danny sat up and spit some grass out from between his teeth.
"Keisha…I did not appreciate that."
After about an hour, the other team was leading by one and it was a close game. Despite our protests, Adam was, of course, tackled. "Okay, we need to get one goal to tie, two to actually win it." Flack muttered wiping some sweat from his face. He's one of those guys who really gets into a game.
"Hey Flack I've been meaning to ask you this for a while." I spoke up looking at him.
"Yeah? What's up?" He looked up at me totally serious, expecting a question about the game.
"What's with the rugby shorts? When you fell, I could see fucking everything." He got a mischievous glint in his eyes and turned around.
"I quite like how it accents my ass." I shoved him away and he laughed.
"Eww! Flack!"
"Game on!" Danny yelled and Flack took the Frisbee.
In the past hour I had really gotten into the game and even tackled Montana. I apologized for a million minutes afterwards but Montana just laughed and told me it was fine. He even tackled Ryan later on. I ran to the other side of the field and Flack threw it to Adam, who was right in front of me.
"He's gonna drop it!" Stella yelled following the Frisbee with her eyes. But, much to everyone's surprise, Adam snatched it out of the air. He stood there for a minute, almost in disbelief that she caught it.
"RUN!" Flack yelled. Adam realized the situation and ran towards the goal. Montana was right behind him. But after a few strides, Montana pulled herself up and let Adam go through.
"Hey Montana, why'd you let her go?" Danny asked when Montana walked over to him with a big smile on her face.
"Well, I mean, she finally caught it so I thought, why not?" Danny took the Frisbee and tossed it to Kendell. When she let go of the Frisbee it started to pour.
"KEEP GOING!" Danny yelled, wiping some rain from his face. The light hit his face just right and God he looked good. Back on track. Kendell was running through the rain and she threw it to Danny who was right by me. I took off after him as he was running with the Frisbee looking for someone to throw it to. I ran behind him and tackled him to the ground but we slipped and fell in a huge mud puddle. We sat there a minute before everything finally comprehended.
"Oh man we're in mud." Flack jumped into the mud puddle, splashing us with more mud.
"Hey this is fun! Come on Stella!"
"Yeah…no." Stella insisted staying on the other side of the field. Flack, who was covered in mud, walked over to her and held out his arms.
"Give me a hug."
"No, you dirty boy!" Stella laughed running away from him. Flack began chasing her and as Stella was running she slid on a small slip of wet grass and fell into another mud puddle. Flack fell on top of her, covering her back in mud. "Flack! You're such a freak!"
"Thank you!" Everyone walked over to see what had happened and Flack managed to push them all in the mud. When Montana was pulled in, she rolled her eyes as if to say "not again" Hawkes walked out as we were all shoving each other around.
"Having fun down there?" Sheldon asked
"Come here Sheldon…" Flack ordered
"Danny…GET AWAY FROM ME!" Hawkes said.
SLOSH!
"…you are going to pay for that."
And there you go. hoped you enjoyed the last couple of chapters
