Chapter 3: Young Love

David and the rest of the Calenti's go over to the Bakers for dinner. The door bell rings and Tom answers it.

"Hey guys." Tom said as he saw the Calenti's at his door.

"Hey Tom." Don said as he hugged Tom and walked in.

Don and his family go into the dinning room and sit down.

"So, Don I heard that you're the new head coach for Fairfield." Tom said to him.

"That's correct Tom. So what's going on with you?" Don asked him.

"I'm the head coach over at Lakeside." Tom told him.

"This is unreal." Don told him.

"What's unreal?" Tom asked him.

"We play each other in the first week of the season." Don told him.

"I know. I saw the schedule Don." Tom said to him.

"So, I guess we'll find out if you can still coach against me." Don said to Tom.

"I believe I did pretty well against you when I coached Lincoln." Tom told him.

"Tom the last time you coached against me it was two years ago." Don told him.

"I believe that I beat you two years ago." Tom then said to Don.

"You got lucky. That was a terrible defense I called against that sweep." Don told Tom.

"It wasn't that you called a bad defense it was just I had a great offense." Tom then told Don.

"My defense was the number one overall defense that year. I put them in a bad position to make a play." Don told him.

"And my offense was the number one overall offense that year. The better team won that game." Tom tehn said to him.

"The better team didn't win that game. You just got lucky." Don then said to him.

Jake, Sarah and David are listening to their dads arguing. David is shaking his head.

"Are they ever going to stop feuding?" David asked Sarah and Jake.

"I don't know." Sarah replied to him.

Lorraine walks by them.

"How much perfume did you put on Princess?" Sarah asked Lorraine covering her nose.

"None of your business Butch." Lorraine told her.

"If you're looking for Jesse he's outside throwing the football around with Mike and James." David told her.

"I'm not looking for Jesse but, since he's here I might as well go say 'Hi' " Lorraine said as she went outside to go see Jesse.

"We have to see Lorraine with Jesse. She is so crushing on him." Sarah told Jake and David.

They go to the front window to watch Lorraine try to talk to Jesse without her knowing it.

"Hey Jesse." Lorraine said as she walked over to him.

"Hey." Jesse replied as he threw the football to Mike who threw it to James who threw it back to Jesse.

"Do you even remember me?" Lorraine asked him.

"Yeah. You're Lorraine Baker we went to elementary school then middle school together." Jesse said to her as he caught the football that James threw to him.

"So you do remember me." Lorraine then said to him.

"Hey James why don't you and Mike throw the football around for a while?" Jesse asked his youngest brother.

"Sure. Come on Mike let's see what everyone else is doing." James said to Mike as they walked off to see what everyone else was doing.

"You look different." Lorraine said to him as they started to walk towards the porch to sit down.

Sarah opens the window so that she, Jake and David can hear everything they say.

"Well I did grow since middle school and I have been working out lately to keep in top physical shape for football. You look different also but, not in a bad way." Jesse told her with a smile.

"You look good also." Lorraine told him.

"So, what high school are you attending?" Jesse asked her.

"I'm attending Lakeside." Lorraine replied.

"I'm attending Fairfield. I'm going to play on the football team there." Jesse told her.

"That's nice." Lorraine said to him trying to sound like she was interested.

"You still don't like football?" Jesse asked her with a smile.

"I like it. I just don't understand why people would hit each other like that." Lorraine told him.

"That's the way the game is played. I love it I when lay someone out." Jesse told her with a laugh.

"What does 'Lay someone out' mean?" Lorraine asked him.

"It means that you knocked the guy to the ground and he has to take his time getting up." Jesse explained to her.

"That sounds barbaric." Lorraine told him.

"The game is not barbaric it's fun." Jesse told her.

"That's not fun." Lorraine said to him.

"If that's not your idea of fun then what is?" Jesse asked her.

Sarah, Jake and David are still listening. "If she says shopping I'll die." Sarah told Jake and David. Jake and David start to laugh and almost give away that they're listening in.

"I think shopping is fun." Lorraine told Jesse.

Back inside Sarah falls to the ground like she just had a heart attack. Jake and David start to laugh harder. Jake and David have to duck since Jesse and Lorraine look at the window at the same time.

"Anyway back to you thinking shopping is fun. I can't stand shopping." Jesse told Lorraine. Lorraine looks at him like she's about to have a stroke.

"You can't stand shopping?" lorraine asked him in shock.

"I only like to go shopping for sports jerseys and other things that involve sports." Jesse told her.

"What is with you and sports?" Lorraine asked him with a laugh.

"I'm an athlete so I love sports and everything that's involved with sports." Jesse then said to her.

" I would usually walk way from guys like you but, you're too cute." Lorraine said ot him.

"Well thanks for your support. I think that you're beautiful also." Jesse told her.

They go to kiss and they hear Sarah gaging and look into the window and see Jake, David and Sarah staring at them. Lorraine gives them a death glare and Jesse just shakes his head and laughs.

"I think they saw us." David said to them.

"Should we run?" Jake asked them

"Why?" Sarah then asked them.

"Becasue they're coming inside right now to kill us." David said as he saw Jesse and Lorraine coming inside.

"Now we should run." Sarah said as her, Jake and David ran off to hide in Jake's room. They lock the door and hide inside of there.
