Chapter 6

"Lyn over here!" Sam called.

Brook expertly threw the quaffle across the small field to Sam who then shot and made it.

"Ugh now we are tied." The blond Ryan said exasperated.

"Nice one!" Brook called over to Sam.

"Yea but you assisted me." Sam said flying over so that he was floating only a few feet from Brook.

"Yea that is true but you actually shot and made it." Brook said back enjoying the little quarrel.

"Ok Lyn I admit that I did all the work." Sam said nonchalantly.

Brook's mouth dropped open in awe, but then laughed as Sam flew away laughing at how he was teasing her. She watched him as tossed back the light brown hair that was on his forehead while his brown eyes sparkled with competitiveness for the next play. She loved watching him and loved hearing the nick names he called her such as Brookie or Lyn. No one else talked to her like that.

She next looked over at Bret. He wasn't nearly as handsome as Sam but he still was extremely attractive. With his dark brown hair and light blue eyes he always looked as though he knew something you didn't which was probably true since he was very popular and heard a lot of things from different people.

She next looked over at the last of the group who was Ryan. He was a really nice guy who was always there for you unless you did something to him then he was your worst enemy. He had blond hair and brown eyes but unlike Sam's they changed shades of brown concerning his mood.

She was snapped back to reality with some one coming up behind her and wrapping there arms around her waist and whispering,

"You haven't died on me have you?"

Brook felt a shiver run up her spine and smiled joyfully.

"No." she replied smiling and memorizing the feeling of being in his arms.

"Good, because if you did we would loose the game and that wouldn't be good would it?" Sam said playfully finally releasing his arms that were around her much to Brooklyn's dismay.

"Well then let's just hurry up and win and then I can go die." Brooklyn said still in a whisper that could be heard only by him.

"Okay then let's do it Lyn." He said nudging her playfully.

Ryan and Bret started out with the quaffle and they made it all the way down to where Brooklyn was guarding the hoops. Bret shot the quaffle at the left hoop and Brook dove to get and barely grabbed it. She then faked a throw to Sam and began to fly it to the other side with Ryan and Bret racing after her. She then threw the quaffle to Sam, but was intercepted by Bret who caught it and began racing down the field with it in his clasp.

Brook looked around and then began to dive below so she was flying under him. She then shot upward knocking the quaffle out of Bret's hands and into the air. She quickly snatched the quaffle and then with all her might threw the ball from half way down the field into the center hoop.

She smiled as it soared threw the hoop knowing her and Sam had won. She slowly pulled her broom downward and gracefully stepped off her broom onto the grass.

She walked over to her bag and took out a hair tie so she could pull her hair up. Right as she finished she squealed as some one picked her up from behind in a backward hug.

"You were terrific!" Sam shouted making Brook giggle.

He then set her down and she turned around to face him. He then engulfed her in another hug this one while twirling her around making her laugh even more.

He set her down again and then leaned in and whispered in her ear,

"You sure you wanna die now cause I hear there is pizza inside and I know a guy who is willing to give you a piggy back ride back to the house if you won't die?"

"I don't know?" Brook said playfully then laughing at the look on Sam's face.

"Hey you two there is pizza come on." Ryan said.

"Race you?" Sam asked looking at her.

"I dunno how about just to catch up to them?" Brooklyn said.

"Well I'll take what I can get." He said smiling at her.

"Ready"

"Set"

"Go!" they said in unison and they both raced off to catch up to the two other boys.
