The day came and all of Koby's hard work was about to pay off. She got her uniform and put it in a bag for the game. She packed away her pom-poms and walked out. Her and Craig walked to school and got there early for her to set up for the game.

Paige still was not there for some strange reason. Hazel kept looking down at her watch checking the time. Spinner came up to them with a look that could kill on his face.

"You know it sucks that this school tells you who is playing the day they come," he continued, "Paige doesn't was to come."

"Why?" Koby asked, "I know its not because she is scared."

"See that bus over there?"

Spinner pointed to a school bus pulling up with the other players, "That's why she isn't coming." Koby looked and wondered why Paige was so upset about. It was just a stupid school. She had no clue that Paige had been raped two years before and was still going through the shock. It was one of the players on that team.

"Well is she at home?" Hazel asked.

"Yeah she is," Spinner replied.

"Well I can go see about her," Koby said.

"Look just don't go by yourself ok," Hazel pleaded.

"What's the worst that could happen," Koby shrugged and took off.

She walked next to the busses when she heard a voice call. She did not know who it was. He did not know who she was because he had not called her by name.

"Hey sweetie," he came out of the bus.

"Oh hi," she said back, "I cant stay and talk I got to go find some one."

"Oh really," he flirted, "Well I can tell you aren't from here."

"No I am not," she replied.

"You sound French," he continued to woo her, "I like that."

She tried to avoid him and tried to walk away, "Like I said I need to go find my friend."

"Oh pom-poms," he continued as if he had not heard her.

"Look I don't know you and I like it that way so back off," she hissed.

She stormed off. She went to Paige's house. She was on her way out. She had decided to go after all.

"Hey," Paige said, "Why aren't you at the game?"

"I came to look for you," she replied, "Spinner told me you were up set."

"Yeah," she sighed, "You just hadn't heard the story that all."

"Well we got a walk ahead of us so tell me," Koby said.

Paige and Koby walked to school while Paige told her everything that had happened. Koby was shocked and scared because the guy that had been talking to her before fit the description of Paige's rapist.

"Paige?" Koby asked, "How did you meet him?"

"Well he was leaving and I thought I'd introduce myself before I they left," she answered.

"Well when I was coming over to your house a guy kept trying to come on to me," Koby said, "I was really scared. I wish I would have listened to Hazel."

"What did she say?" Paige asked.

"Well she just said not to walk alone because of something but she would not tell me," Koby answered.

"Well I realized he has no control over my life," Paige said.

"That's good," Koby replied. They got to school and went into the Gym. They had finished setting up already and JT was already in his outfit. JT had been the school mascot. Paige was pleased to see that they were fixed up and ready to go. "Well lets warm up," Paige ordered the others.
