Carol Boone stood with her two girls by her side, watching the two
fair-haired girls, playing a few feet away. The older one, a teen, was
trying to teach the younger one 'Miss Suzie'.
They must be Coach Yoast's girls, she thought. Whe she had arrived, they had been running around the parking lot in some pick-up game of catch and tackle, laughing as though they were having the time of thier lives. The younger girl had stopped to ask Nikki and Karen if they wanted to play, but her girls, just shook thier heads and stared at her as if she had three heads.
The game had stopped when more people had begun to arrive. The older girl quickly got her sister interested in the quiter game of 'Miss Suzie' and Carol thought Nikki looked tempted to join them, but she wasn't going to invite herself and it didn't look as if they were going to ask her this time.
"Miss Suzie had a sailboat, the sailboat had a wreck, Miss Suzie went to heaven, the sailboat went to hell.....o operator, connect me with number nine, if you disconnect me, I'll kick you behind the refrigerator, there laid a piece of glass, Miss Suzie sat upon it and cut her little as...k me no more questions and I'll tell you no more lies..."
Their song was drowned out by the sound of buses and the boys chanting, "Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, hey, hey, hey, Goodbye."
Sheri caught Sheryl's arm and pulled her to her, hugging the little girl in the process.
"What did they do to them up there?" Fred Bosly asked to no one in particular. "Brain wash 'em or something?"
"I don't know," another man answered, "but they must be high on something."
Sheryl and Sheri rolled thier eyes at each other.
"Try adrenaline," Sheri cracked, but if either man heard, they didn't get it.
Both girls lit up like Christmas trees when Bill stepped off the bus.
"Coach!!!" They took off for him, instead of waiting for him to come to them.
Just out of the way of the others getting off the bus, he dropped his duffel and caught both girls in a big hug. "Boy, I've missed you two." It had only been a week since Sheri had come up to Gettiesburg to get Sheryl, but he hadn't been away from both of them at the same time, for more than a day or two since mthier mother had walked out.
"Missed you, too," they mummered, still hugging him. Sheryl pulled away and grabbed his duffel with one hand and his hand with the other.
"Come on, Coach. Let's go home."
He laughed. "All right, Miss Impatience, I can't say I'm not looking forward to getting home, either." With one arm around Sheridan and the other frimly in Sheryl's grasp, he started to leave, but Boone caught him.
"Coach, I'd like you to meet my wife, Carol," He said.
"Pleased to meet you, Mrs. Boone," Yoast replied, shaking her hand.
"And this," Boone continued, swinging his youngest daughter up into his arms. "Is Nikki, and little Karen." Then to his girls, he said, " This is Sheryl and Sheridan."
"Why are ya'll dressed so wierd?" Sheryl asked and Sheridan cringed when Bill thumped her. She, herself had wondered why they were so dressed up, but was glad she had kept her mouth shut.
"Ow." Sheryl complianed, overexaggratedly rubbing her forearm.
"Look who's talking," Nikki replied, taking in the sight of Sheryl in her blue jeans and t-shirt and Sheri's hot pants and tattered Hammond High football jersey.
"Ow," came her whispered compliant when her mother reprimanded her, now both girls were rubbing thier arms.
"Well, we're just all getting along," Boone replied, tightly.
Sheri didn't get the chance to see what happened next, though. Ray caught her hand and pulled her off to the side.
"Hello, Ray," Sheri replied.
"Hey." He stalled for a minute.
"Did you want something?" She asked. She was getting hungry and that wasn't good.
"Um,, yeah," he replied, trying to play off the unsure angle. "I was wondering, if you might want to go out tomorrow night. Catch a movie or something."
She smiled, "I'd love to, Ray, but I don't think Coach'll let me. I 'magine he's gonna want me to do something with him and Sis tomorrow since we really have been together in nearly three weeks."
"Oh, well, maybe next weekend," he shrugged.
She nodded. "Maybe."
"Well, do you think Coach'll let you talk on the phone?" He asked, flirtatiously.
"I don't know," she replied, flirting in the same manner. "You could always call and find out. That is, unless you are afraid to." With that she walked off to join her family, leaving him staring after her.
He wasn't the only one. Even though Gerry was talking to Julius before leaving, he was watching Ray and Sheri.
Julius followed his gaze until his eyes fell on the two. He didn't see what the big deal was, if she wanted to mess with that jerk, that was her business. Then when she walked away, he saw the back of her shirt.
It dawned on him then. The way Gerry was watching Ray and the 'Ice Princess' remark he had made to Sunshine, started to make since.
