Author Note: This chapter is a bit longer.
The ghouls and I are in the girls' changing room, all four of us getting dressed for the big game. In 10 minutes, we're all in our fearleading outfits
"Are you guys ready to cheer for our boyfriend?" I hear Cleo shout. Everyone cheers their boyfriend's names. But I'm too busy looking at the ground. "Hey, Earth to Frankie!"
I lift my head and see an annoyed looking Egyptian princess. "Hey Cleo." I respond, giving her a fake smile.
"Are you going to be distracted like this during the whole game?" She also sternly, placing her hand on her hips.
My face feels warm. "No! No Cleo! I was just thinking." I protest.
"About what? You're already ditching us tonight, so what could you possibly be thinking of?" Cleo demands, making me feel more flustered.
"Cleo, leave her alone!" Clawdeen shouts.
"What? I just wanna know." Cleo whines.
"It's none of your business." Clawdeen snaps.
Cleo groans and walks back to her gym locker. Clawdeen looks at me and I give her a smile. Thanks Clawdeen. I turn around and take a deep breath.
"Time to cheer girls!" Cleo cheers and we run out of the locker room to the outside of the gym. We see the boys by the door. Clawd, Heath, Deuce, Romulus, Jackson and 15 other mansters. "Hey boys!" Cleo giggles.
"Hey ladies!" Clawd replies back.
"Good luck out there boys." I smile to them, shaking my poms in excitement.
"Thanks Frankie." Deuce replies, smiling.
We hear the crowd outside roar in excitement. "Show time everyone!" Clawd shouts.
"Save the cheering for the game." Cleo hisses, nudging my shoulder.
I roll my eyes as the door open. We run out to a cheering crowd of monsters. We take our place near the bleachers of Monster High students. The team runs out next in great fashion with more cheers than us.
"Go Monster High!" We all cheer to them and the crowd follows.
Good luck Jackson! You got this! I think as I see him run.
"Monster High vs. Gargoyle High! Gargoyle are currently winning by 4 points. Only five minutes left in the game! Monster seem to try to win back those points!" The announcer shouts in the speakers.
"Come on Monster High!" I hear monster behind me scream. Come on guys! You can do this.
"Come on Monster High! Cheer their names!" Clawdeen encourages the crowd. They cheer each player's names.
We hope that will help, and it does. Clawd has the ball and the crowd chants his name. I watch him zip pass the gargoyles and makes a dunk. All of us cheer and the Monster High crowd roars. "Go Clawd Wolf!" We cheer. The clock fezzes, we get two points. When the players are in position, the clock starts again and they run.
Heath passes the ball to Jackson. He gets surrounded by the other team, making me gasp. I sigh in relief as he passes the ball to Deuce over the gargoyles. Deuce zips pass the more gargoyles, makes a dunk into the hoop and another roar comes from the crowd. "Go Deuce Gorgon!" We cheer. I look to my right and see Cleo and Draculura cry for joy.
"Monster High secure four points! The clock has only two minutes and the two schools have tied! Which school will have the wining points?" The announcer speaks.
"Come on Monster High! We will win this game!" We cheer to our players. The clock starts again and the players run again. Clawd passes the ball to Deuce, then passes to Romulus, then passes to Heath.
I see Heath pass the ball to his cousin, who looks tired. I look at the clock and see a minute left. I turn to my friends. "Let's cheer for Jackson." I say to them and turn to the crowd. "Come on everyone! Cheer for Jackson!"
"Jackson, Jackson, Jackson!" The crowd cheers.
I flip and jump. Me and my friends make a human-standing pyramid with me standing on the top. "Go Jackson! Go Jackson!" We shout. I spot him running pass the gargoyles as fast as he can, dribbling the ball next to his feet. I glance at the clock. 20 seconds left. I hold my breath as I see Jackson get to the hoop, jumping from another gargoyle, lets the ball go and in the air. The ball lands in the hoop and the clock stops, only 10 seconds left.
The whole crowd of Monster High roars. I finally breath, jump in mid air and flips, falling down and caught by Clawdeen and Cleo. They smile and push me up.
"Monster High wins by the winning shot going to Jackson Jekyll! What a shot to end the season! What a way to end!" The announcer shouts.
I turn behind me to see the crowd roaring in excitement. I turn back around to see Jackson being lifted up by the other teammates. I can't stop smiling. I turn to my friends, smiling and hugging one another. I didn't notice Draculura pressing her body against mine. I feel a weight being lifted off my shoulders. The game is over. I feel ready to take on anything.
"Come on Frankie, give your victor boyfriend a big kiss on the lips." Draculura giggles near my ear. I smile to her and we run to the players. I see Cleo caress Deuce face and Heath patting Jackson on the back. Draculura runs to the arms of her boyfriend and I walk over to the two cousins.
Heath turns and notices me, smirking. "Hey cuz, there's your girlfriend." He smiles to his cousin. Jackson turns to me and smiles.
I pick up the pace. "You won, you won!" I cheer. Jackson opens his arms and I run into them. I snuggle my head on his shoulder. I feel his arms holding me tightly.
"Thanks for cheering me on Frankie." I hear him say sweetly.
We pulls away and look at each other. We say nothing. What is there to be said? The game is won. I lean up and close my eyes, pressing my lips against his. Jackson returns the kiss and it feels like I'm in heaven. All the cheers, the noise is blocked out from one kiss. We break and smile loving at each other. But we hear giggling and snickering next to us. We turn to the right and see Heath, Clawd, Romulus, Deuce, Cleo, Clawdeen and Draculura, giggling and pointing at us. We both blush in embarrassment.
"Hi everyone! I'm looking for Jackson Jekyll and the fearleader who made the cheer!" I turn and see Spetchra, floating around us. Our friends point at us and we see Spetchra flow towards us. "Hi Frankie! That was quite a shot Jackson." She says to us.
"Thank you Spetchra." Jackson smiles.
"May I take a picture of the awesome monster couple and then can I have an interview with you Jackson? Spetchra asks.
"Of course!" I answer.
"Great." Spetchra smiles. She pulls out her camera as me and Jackson shift into a position. He places his hands around my waist. I place one hand on Jackson's waist and the other on his chest. We smile to each other and turn to Spetchra. "This ones for the ghostly gossip." She says as the camera makes a snap sound and a flash of light. "Thank you so much you two. Now Frankie, I have to borrow your boyfriend for a little while." She asks.
"It's ok Spetchra." I reply, smiling.
"I'll be there in a minute. I need to talk to my girlfriend." Jackson adds. Spetchra complies and flows to the rest of the players. We turn to each other. "I have to talk to Spetchra and the other teammates. I'm sorry." He says apologetically.
"I know, I know. Don't apologize for it." I sat calmly to him, rubbing his chest.
Jackson glances down to grab my hand and intertwine our fingers together and brings his eyes back to me. "But hopefully, I'll see you at your house." He says in a teasing way, smirking.
"Of course you will. And I will wait for you." I answer with compassion. He pulls me into a bear hug and I nestle my face into his skin.
I feel Jackson's breathe on my ear. "You're my ultimate prize." I hear him say before I feel his lips against my skin on the shoulder. It's short and light but makes me stiffen up. He pulls back and gives me a sweet smile before pulling me in a short and passionate kiss. Jackson pulls away and I feel a goofy smile spread across my face. "I love you Frankie." He smiles.
"I love you too Jackson." I slur.
"See you tonight." He whispers.
"You too." I whisper back. Jackson gives me a kiss on the forehead and turns to his teammates. I feel ready for tonight.
"Hey Frankie, ready to go home." I hear Clawdeen's voice and turn around and see her, Drucalura and Cleo, all with raised eyebrows.
"Yes!" I blink.
"What was that all about?" Cleo asks.
"Ummm, I just want to tell Jackson he won!" I blurt out. "Come on. Let's get ready to go!"
"Alright. You girls stay here and go to the party. I'm going to take Frankie home." Clawdeen says behind me as we walk to the girls' locker room. As soon as we walk through the door, I run to my locker and quickly take my clothes off. "Whoa girl, slow down. What's the rush?" Clawdeen laughs.
"I just want to go home as quickly as possible! I want to get home and work on my homework!" I blurt out as I started to get my day clothes out.
"Look girl, I know you like doing homework first and fun later, but I get the feeling that's not what this is about." Clawdeen asks sternly.
My body starts trembling in fear.
"Frankie, I know you're hiding something." Clawdeen voice is closer. "Frankie, please tell me."
"I can't!" I answer, placing the rest of my clothes on. But my body feel hot and sweaty than before. I grab my bag and close my locker. I rush to the door but Clawdeen blocks me with her arms crossed.
"Frankie, what's wrong?" She asks. "I'm not letting you go until you tell me."
I take a deep breath and step back.
"Frankie, if you tell me, I won't tell anyone. Not even the ghouls. Come on, please, you can trust me." Clawdeen pleads.
I take another deep breath. "I'm not doing homework tonight because I don't have any." I confess. "Instead, I want to go home so Jackson can pick me up and take me to his place." I take a deep breath. Clawdeen blinks and I blush in embarrassment.
"Ohhh... You mean spend the night?" She asks and blinks again.
I nod my head and play with my fingers. "Please don't tell the ghouls." I wince.
"I won't." Clawdeen says quietly.
I blow out a sigh of relief.
"Come on girl. Let's get you home." Clawdeen gestures to the hall and we walk all the way out of the building to her car in the school parking lot, where their are so many kids.
We stay in silence for the first few minutes as the car leaves the parking lot.
"So..." Clawdeen speaks, trying to find something to fill the uncomfortably. "Are you two going to have- No! I shouldn't ask that. I have no right" she shakes her head.
"Sex?" I ask and answer but I don't know which.
"Yes." She answers.
"Well, that's our plan." I reply.
"With just him or..."
"No. Just with Jackson." I feel a shiver come up my spine.
"What about Holt?" Clawdeen asks with concern.
"He'll have his chance next week or when I feel ready." I answer.
"Jackson better treat you right or I swear to god-"
"No, no, no Clawdeen! It's Jackson. He would never treat me badly or hurt me." I protest, trying to sooth the anger rising in my best friend. "Trust me. Jackson will never hurt me like that."
Clawdeen takes a deep breath. "Alright... But if Jackson get out of line, call me. Alright?"
"Deal." I answer and she ease up a bit.
"I'm sorry. It's just I want my best for my ghoulfriend. And you are someone who deserves someone to treat you like a queen. And I know Jackson and his nature. But there are sometimes where I get..."
"Overprotective." I answer her, giggling.
"Yes." Clawdeen giggles.
"Thank you for looking out for me." I smile to her.
Clawdeen smiles back while hands and eyes on the road. "I won't tell anyone Frankie. Thank you for trusting me."
On the rest of the ride, we talk and joke about the game. Clawdeen pulls to my house and I feel my feet go cold, something I do when I'm nervous.
"Alright. Here we are girl." Clawdeen smiles.
"Thank you once again Clawdeen." I smile back. I grab my bag and open the door. I step out and close the door.
"Bye Frankie. See you on Monday. And... enjoy your night." Clawdeen winks at me.
I blush but smile. "Goodnight." I reply.
"Goodnight Frankie." And she drives away. I run inside and get ready for the my life.
