These next few chapters are going to pertain a lot to football… so sorry if you don't understand some of the stuff I'm saying (heck, I don't even know everything).

"Um, I have to go," I replied sneaking out of it. I quickly ran out of sight and merged in with the huge crowd, delayed because our dome doors weren't big enough for this big of a crowd. I quickly wove my way through the crowd, as I heard their cleats running to keep up with me. Then I heard the cheers and I knew I was safe, the crowd was probably congratulating them. I quickly got out of the place and made a dart for the first 2 blocks. I looked behind me to make sure that no one was behind me, then turned and ran to the ice cream shop about a block away. I walked in the shop and the lady behind the counter smiled wide at me.

"Well hello there, Cammie. I'm assuming you went to the game," she replied. I looked down. I was wearing a black north face zip up and jeans. I had uggs underneath. I had a gray black and white ribbon on my pony tail. I shrugged. I saw where she was coming from. Plus I did go. "So how's your stay here?" I went and sat down at the counter. You got to love those little bar stools that spin.

"It' fun," I replied. "Can I have a tall chocolate shake?"

"Sure thing, honey. So how was the game?" she asked as she turned her back to me and started to make my shake.

"It was okay, we slaughtered the other team though," I replied watching her make my shake. It was interesting. I wish I could try making it once. It was super simple although. I used to make malts but shakes were different. Well I thought so anyways.

"Slaughter is a strong word, dearie. What was the score?"

"They stopped adding about 2 minutes into the second half. At that time it was 73-0."

"They did kill them!" I chuckled. She was funny. "Here ya go, sweetheart," she told me as she spun me my shake. I grinned as I ate my shake. Then the door chime went off. Someone was coming in. I had a bad feeling; I think I knew who it was.

"Cammie?" I turned around to see Zach and Kyle both with the little kid from before. I did a small wave.

"OH little Tommy, how are you?" she asked as the little kid came up to the stool.

"I want the regular," the boy said as he struggled to get up on the stool. He was about 6. Kyle came and helped him up. "So what's your name?" 'Tommy asked me as he finally got situated on the stool.

"I'm Cammie," I told him in a smile. He was so cute! He had dirty blond hair, regular cut. The front was a little spiked. He had cute hazel eyes and he looked athletic. He kind of looked like Kyle with some of the same facial features. But his eyes widened after I said my name.

"YOU'RE Cammie?" the little kid asked. I nodded my head. I saw Kyle blush out of the side of my eye. "Kyle ALWAYS talks about you!" I blushed. Zach and the counter lady (whose name I think was Marissa) cracked up. That was embarrassing.

"Tommy, I thought we had this talk," Kyle muttered to him. Tommy looked up at Kyle.

"Oh the one about how I'm not supposed to tell Cammie that you always talk about her?" I saw Kyle put his hand over his face as Zach laughed even harder. "What'd I say~? Why is everyone laughing?" Tommy asked as he looked around in confusion.

"Nothing, babe, nothing," Marissa told him as he looked at her. She slid him his chocolate ice cream.

"Thank you," Tommy told her as he went face first into his ice cream. I swear that thing was gone in less that a minute. It was a large bowl!

"So are you guys brothers?" I asked as Tommy polished up the bowl.

"You bet we are," Tommy grinned with his face full of chocolate. I grabbed a napkin and offered it to him. "Why do people always give me napkins after ice cream?" he asked a little annoyed.

"Maybe because your face is always a mess," Kyle told him.

"Not alwayssss!" Tommy fired back.

"Yes alwayssss!" Kyle mimicked his little brother.

"Are we going to go soon?" Tommy asked already heading for the door.

"Whoa little buddy, we got to pay first," Kyle told Tommy as he was almost out the door.

"Oh," he replied. "THANK YOU!" with that he left the store. Kyle rolled his eyes and pulled out his wallet and handed her some money.

"I'll pay for hers," he told Marissa. She raised an eyebrow.

"I can pay for my own," I said. I didn't want him treating me. I would've paid for it anyways.

"Well I don't want change. So you can pay me back later if you must," Kyle told me as he put his wallet away. "But right now I have to go find my little brother." We walked outside and saw Tommy a half a block ahead. We had to run to catch up with him, since he didn't want to wait for us.

When we were about 8 blocks away, Tommy started getting tired. "Kyle, I'm tired," he announced. I looked at Kyle. He looked exhausted.

"Sorry, bud. No can do."

"Kyyyyyyyyyleeeeeeeee."

"What am I supposed to do?" Kyle asked him nicely.

"Call mom and get us a ride," Tommy replied yawning.

"Hey Tommy," I called out. He finally stopped. I was a little surprised, considering he wouldn't listen to Kyle and Zach. I wouldn't expect him to react to me. "Do you want me to carry you?" His eyes widened and he smiled as he came running towards me. I lifted him up. Soon enough he was asleep.

"Was he at the game?" I asked Kyle.

"Nope, mom came with him and told me to take him to get ice cream because he was a good boy today or something. He didn't do anything bad at school or something? Here, I can carry him-"

"." the three of us looked over at Tommy, whose eyelids were falling down. "I like Cammmiieeee." I chuckled.

"See? I'm the best," I told Kyle. Zach laughed. Whoa. I forgot about Zach for a while. He was very quiet for the walk. We walked in silence until we got to my house.

"Here," Kyle said putting his arms out. But then Tommy started whining again. He didn't want to go home. So I gave in and let him come into my house. I shut the door. Then there was a knock. I shifted Tommy to one arm and opened the door.

"Are we not allowed in? Because he's my little brother…" Kyle trailed off. I laughed. I had just shut Kyle and Zach out of my house when I still had Kyle's little brother.

"Did you ever think I was kidnapping him?" I asked Kyle.

"Oh you can have him," he replied. I chuckled.

"Who are we kidnapping?" Grant's voice trailed in.

"Tommy," I called back.

"Who's Tommy?" Grant questioned confused.

"He's our new little brother," I replied. I heard Grant jump off the couch.

"I always wanted another boy in the hou-" he stopped mid-sentence when he saw Zach and Kyle. "Hey, nice punch," he told Zach.

"Thanks!" Zach said, I'm assuming happy Grant was complementing him. I rolled my eyes and went inside to the living room. I set Tommy on the couch but he was so persistent and made me sit by him.

"Want to watch a movie?" Grant asked Tommy.

"Yeah," Tommy yawned. He would be fast asleep in moments. We watched the beginning of the movie cars and he was fast asleep. There was a knock at the door. Grant went to go answer it.

"Uh, Cammie? I think Kyle's mom is here," he told me coming back into the living room. Kyle got up and went to the front. Next thing I knew I saw Kyle come get Tommy and they left. Well Grant being Grant, after Kyle left he kicked Zach out of the house. We turned off the tv and went to bed too. I got to my room and saw MK fast asleep. I smiled as I laid on the ground, waiting for the next game.

(2 weeks later, Friday)

Our football team had been doing great, they earned their way into sections, and tonight was the night where we learned if we were state material or not. The whole school was going crazy, and everyone was out of uniform. It was crazy. The teachers stopped handing out fines because too many people were out of uniform.

"CAMMIE!" I turned around as Bex jumped on my back.

"Hey Bex," I replied grinning. Our whole school was excited.

"You pumped for the game tonight?" she asked jumping. I mocked her and started jumping.

"OF COURSE I AM!" I replied. She stopped jumping and rolled her eyes. Then some boys went running down the halls spraying silly string over everyone. Some girls screamed and the boys were laughing. This whole school had so much energy it was crazy.

A boy came running up to us and put his arms around both our shoulders."WHO'S GOING TO WIN TONIGHT?!"

"WE ARE!" we both shouted back. We smiled at each other.

"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" some boys went screaming down the halls. I laughed as everyone was so energetic. Everyone was at least 30 minutes early today, it was surprising.

"KNIGHTS, KNIGHTS, KNIGHTS!" boys were running up and down the halls chanting. I laughed. The boys were going super crazy.

"STUDENTS, STUDENTS MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!" we all quieted down a little as the intercom went on. If it wasn't important enough we wouldn't listen. "WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL EXCITED-" every one erupted into cheers, everyone going nuts. "STUDENTS, STUDENTS PLEASE! TODAY WE WILL BE OUT OF CLASS 45 MINUTES EARLY FOR A PEP FEST. THANK YOU." People started screaming and the boys went bezerk. I laughed as everyone was in a good mood. I smiled wishing MK could be here with us, she'd have great ideas for energy and she would probably be going crazy too. Too bad she had to go back to Gallagher. But I smiled thinking of the team she created. We preformed at every pep fest so I'm sure the girls were super excited. I thought of the 18 girls who helped us out for us to make a team. Then the first bell rung and we left for class.

~*~*~*~

"Alright class, you are dismissed." We all ran out of the classroom to our lockers. We were so excited for tonight. During lunch someone went off campus to buy one of those fog horn type things. You could hear them blowing it half way across the school. I smiled as everyone went wild. We all slowly made our way to the gym. I cut and went to the lunch room. The whole team was there already, and our coach Meghan. MK was kind enough to find someone and get us organized.

"You girls excited?" Meghan asked us as we smiled.

"YEAH!" we all shouted back. She laughed.

"Well, we're out in about 5. You girls can talk," she told us. Then she walked out of the lunch room.

"Oh my gosh, this is so amazing," Tiffany told us as she started smiling. "This is so much fun and this year our football team is actually getting somewhere!"

"Yeah, it's all because of Kyle, which Cammie got to play," Maki turned grinning at me.

"If it weren't for her and MK, we wouldn't have a football team or a dance team!" Hannah told them. They all agreed.

"You guys, it's a team thing," I smiled thinking of the cheesiness.

"Come on Cammie, get something new to say," Bex told me as we started stretching again.

"Well, I'm saying let's concentrated on this new dance and get our school even more excited," I smiled. Everyone cheered, and before we knew it Meghan was back.

"Show time ladies!" she announced as we all got lined up, and ready to go. The only thing about our team was that instead of a dance, it was more of a competition cheer. But that was okay. It would be fun. Before we knew it we were entering the gym smiling. Everyone started cheering. I'm sure they were expecting something amazing, and we never seemed to let them down.

"Ready ladies?" Meghan whispered. We all put our smiles on and before the song even started we all side jumped and fell down into a push up. Then we laid down. That was Meghan's cue to start the music. Suddenly the lights went out and then suddenly the spotlight was on the Bex.

She started spinning in circles as Black Eyed Peas Let's Get It Started came on. Suddenly the lights were on and then we were pushing of the ground so it looked like we were going to jump up, except we stayed in a push up position. Then we went full out into our routine we made up not even 2 weeks ago. It was so thrilling to be performing. We went through tons of songs, each transitioning easily. Finally we ended with cheers erupting. I grinned as everyone clapped for us. I saw the person recording the dance and I waved at them. It was a video that I was going to send to MK.

I heard footsteps run down to the front as they started cheers. I laughed as we ran out of the room. The football game was tonight. I had a feeling we were going to win it.

~*~*~*~

I ran to the stadium after I got out of the car. I ran into the stadium past the girls on the dance squad and into the dome. I ran to the very front to see us kick off the ball. We were playing the toughest team in our section, the Scottsdale huskies. Our whole team cheered as we hit them down at their own 2 yard line.

I shouted as the whole front line cheered. I saw 2 boys pick up my voice right away. I was a little shocked how they recognized my shout so simply, so I disappeared back to the school before anything got started. I jogged into the girls locker room where everyone got ready.

"Why do we have to miss the first half?" I asked. "It gets me so anxious!" everyone laughed as I jumped up and down.

"Morgan, are you ever going to get ready?" Meghan asked me. I looked around and realized I was the only one still in regular clothing and not in costume.

"Uh, yeah," I replied as I started changing. Everyone laughed as I quickly changed into costume so we wouldn't get yelled at.

"Well why do all dance teams do this?" I asked.

"Because I say so," she replied. "Everyone else's dance team has already stopped performing so let's make this sweet, so everyone else wish they had people like us," she told us. I smiled.

"Yeah well no one else dances like us," I whispered to Bex. She grinned.

"Alright girls, let's start practicing." I rolled my eyes as we got up to the gym to practice. There goes a waste of a hour.

~*~*~*~

"And here are your Knight performers, the dance team!" the crowd cheered as we ran out onto the field. We were technically going to do the same dance, but with a few edits. I wondered how well this would go on the turf. It was only our second time performing on turf, and this dance was a whole lot more sophisticated. We all got into position as Bex stood up. The song started and we started out the same way. Everyone cheered, but it was sort of uncertain. We never performed the same dance, which was unusual for other teams. For us, if we did the same thing it was strange. We did the same thing but after the intro to Let's Get it Started, the song switched over to Tick Tock by Kesha. The crowd erupted as we changed up the songs and moves. We were doing two person cart wheels and doing flips. We were more like a competition cheer team rather than a fall dance team. We performed for about 3 more minutes and ended with a jump that we always did. As we did it our whole student section would join and we would get a huge noise. We ran off the field and went into the school as some people walked out onto the field to play catch or something. I looked at the score board and I saw it was a low scoring game, 3-0 them. So we seemed to be a fairly evenly matched team.

I walked in as the football players started flooding out of the locker room. A lot of them wolf whistled and stared as we walked by. We just kept our heads held high and tried to ignore them. That was hard when some started following us. I felt some of the girls walk faster to pass me. I felt their discomfort. So I spun around.

"Knock it off and go out to the field," I sharply stated as I glared at the few boys following.

"Aren't you going to wish us good luck?" Kyle asked. I stared at him as he and Zach and Joe and Dhine and other people cut off the way to outside.

"Good luck." With that I spun around and went to follow my team.

"That's it?!"

"Maybe there'll be more if we gain the lead." With that I heard their cleats hit the tiles as they ran out to the field. I walked to the locker room and changed. We all left and some went to the bleachers, some went home. Bex and I headed toward the bleachers. We walked up the section and sat by Grant and Mace.

"You did great, babe," Grant told Bex as they hugged. I rolled my eyes. Did I forget to tell you? They're an 'item'. A 'thing'. Mace made a gagging noise. They smiled. We watched as they kicked off back to us. I saw Joe (I had no idea he was the one who always received the kick off) catch it and run it up about 40 yards. We were at the fifty. I saw Kyle run out with Zach. I crossed my fingers and prayed that they would score. I heard them call off the calls and then they were in motion. Kyle faked the pass then dodged a sac and threw it as hard as he could down field as the person who missed earlier come back to try again. We all saw the ball up in the air. I was smart this time and watched the players on the field. There was a whole group running for the ball, then it was a few, next there were two, then you saw 24 running with super speed, breaking away from the other player. Next thing you knew he had the ball and we was running about 10 yards for the game's first touchdown. Everyone went crazy on our side. The fog horns were going off, the how bleachers were shaking, it was nuts. The kicker kicked the ball and it was good. The score stood 3-7 us. I smiled as the rest of the game went on, us leading the rest of the time. It came down to the last 4 minutes, when they finally got the lead. We all stood nervously in the stands. I was hugging Bex, nervously waiting for our chance. We were down to the last 2 minutes and they had the ball. They were just running down the clock and we were getting antsy. They had Zach out there, most likely because they needed their best out. There was about 1 minute left and the score stood 10-7. suddenly their QB whipped it and it was heading straight for a player going for the end zone. Suddenly a kid jumped out of no where and intercepted the pass. He started sprinting and before we knew it he was down at their 45, 25, 10 yards within, touchdown. We all started screaming. Bex and I started jumping up and down. The kid was going nuts, he jumped on the post and then flipped off. The whole sidelines were yelling, and the energy was now on our side. We kicked the ball and the score stood and 10-14. there was less then a minute and we were hoping to keep them from scoring. Our wish was answered. 45 seconds later our team won. The whole high school section flooded onto the field. It was amazing. We were going to state. The whole football team had dog piled and got up to only get surrounded by the other high school students. I smiled as Bex and I were the only ones standing of the bleachers standing in amazement at how far our team had gone. They started at the worst to being the best. I smiled.

Everyone started clearing the field after a while. Bex and I just sat in silence soaking it in. Suddenly there was clanking on the bleachers and I was wrapped up in a hug. I opened my eyes but only saw a jersey. It was gray and obviously from our team. I sat in wondering who it was, as I slowly hugged the player back. Bex giggled and I heard her leave.

"Uh, who is this?" I asked curious. I mean I couldn't see anything. He chuckled and I saw it was Kyle.

"Well congrats on the win," I told him. He smiled like he was back in second grade.

"We're going to state," he whispered. I nodded. He hugged me again. I laughed, seeing how excited Kyle was on his usually passive face.

I smiled at the thought.

Our team was going to state for the first time in school history.
