Because you love her- by jersey girl in oxford (sue)
Epilogue
Many years later……..
Two young girls ran from the locker room and out to the football field behind the high school. They were late again to cheerleading practice. The area buzzed with all the activity from the football teams, soccer teams, track team, and field hockey teams as they were in various stages of warming up for their after school practices. "Do I need to buy you ladies a watch?" their coach asked. The girls exchanged glances and giggled.
"It was all Sarah's fault," Lisa explained elbowing the tall girl with the wild curls standing beside her. "She had to get a look at the new boy who transferred here yesterday." Sarah pushed her friend.
"Did not! You just took too long getting changed!" The coach ran the girls through warming up, and they worked on a few routines before taking a break.
"That's him!" Lisa whispered and pointed. Sarah and a few of the girls watched the new boy as he ran laps with the track team. "He is so cute!" As he ran past the girls, he looked at Sarah and gave her a wink. "See…he likes you." Sarah blushed.
"He does not! He winked at everyone," Sarah insisted.
After practice, Sarah headed back to the locker room. The new boy was leaning against the gate waiting for her. "Hi…I'm Christopher. I'm new here."
"Sarah." Christopher smiled and extended his hand which she shook.
"If you're not doing anything now, I'd like to take you for an ice cream or something," he offered. Sarah smiled and blushed.
"Sure. I just have to change. I'll meet you back here, okay?"
Sarah had a wonderful time with Christopher. He was laid back and easy to be with. She felt like she had known him forever. He was waiting for her at the main entrance of the high school the next day. "Here," he said grabbing her books, "let me carry them for you."
"Thanks. I had a really great time yesterday," she told him.
"Me, too. I'd like to see you again, Sarah."
"I'd like that, too!"
Jack and Charlie watched as the couple walked down the hall together. Both had been trying all year to get Sarah to go out with them. She declined them every time. "Who the fuck is that new kid?" Jack asked. Charlie shrugged.
"All I know is that he's movin' in on me, and he's gonna regret it," Charlie replied.
"Moving in on you? Bullshit! He's moving in on me. I told you Sarah was mine and to keep your hands off her," Jack insisted.
"Fuck you! She's mine," Charlie yelled back and shoved Jack. Jack recovered and swung at Charlie. At that time, Mr. Butler, the school's vice principal, separated them. Mr. Butler was very intimidating at 6'6". He grabbed each boy by the collar and began escort them to his office.
"Okay boys…it's fine time you learned that fighting over a woman will bring you nothing but trouble and heartache," he told them as he marched them down the hall.
