I've been going slow with this story but now I have more time to write because of my spring break that just started. Hopefully won't take me long for the next one :)
~ Later that night at the game, Demi's P.O.V. ~
"Alright ladies, bring it in!" Coach Dave called for us after we had finished changing in the locker room. "Now tonight is our first game. No pressure in us winning this one because I know we will. They don't call us the Lions for nothing!" We all cheered a bit before he started talking again. "Hands in." All of our hands flew into the center of the circle. "Lions, on three. One, two, three."
"Lions!" We all screamed and threw our hands up in the air.
"Now let's go out there and kick some Walrus butt!" I yelled as we all headed out the door and ripped through the banner that the cheerleaders were holding out for us. As we made it to our side of the gym, I took a minute to look around at the huge cheering crowd. This is one reason why I love playing basketball. The cheering crowd yelling out not only my name but the teams name in general. I smiled. This is what I have been waiting for.
"You ready to kick some Walrus butt?" Selena said from beside me with a smirk on her face.
I smiled once I realized she was referring to what I had said back in the locker room. "You know it."
"Well good luck then." Selena smiled and kissed me on the cheek before heading over to the rest of the cheerleaders.
"Oh yeah. She wants me." I joked after I approached Alyson, glancing back at Selena.
"More than you know." She mumbled to herself but I still heard her.
I turned back towards her and raised my eyebrow. "What was that?" I know I already heard her but I like watching her squirm. Trust me, you would too if you saw her. It's pretty funny.
"Huh? What? Uhh...Nothing! Come on, games starting!" She grabbed my arm and dragged me over to Coach Dave, who was telling us the game plan.
~ Selena's P.O.V. ~
So it's almost halftime and we're losing pretty badly. We're down 20 points with us, the Lake View Lions, at 25 points and the other team, the Ridge View Walruses, at 45 points. Demi seems to be out of it as well. I have to talk to her.
As soon as the buzzard for halftime goes off, the team goes into the locker room and I turn towards Miley. She's already nodding at me, knowing what I'm about to do. I give her a small smile before heading off into the locker room.
I come in right when Coach Dave is speaking to the team, mainly Demi. "I know I said it doesn't matter if we win or lose but let's face it, it does. Now I don't know what's gotten into you but I don't like it. So you need to figure out what the problem is and fix it because I don't-"
"Coach Dave." Everyone's attention suddenly turns to me as I give them a shy smile. "Sorry to interrupt but I think I know what's bothering her. May I?" He sighs and gives me a small nod as I smile and hold my hand out to Demi. She stares at me for a second and bit her bottom lip -which, by the way, looks oh so sexy- before taking my hand. I helped her up from the bench she was sitting on and led her a few feet away from everyone else. I slowly let go of her hand and stared into her eyes.
"What is it?" Demi asked quietly, staring back into my eyes. Gosh, she's gorgeous.
"I've realized that I had made a mistake." I started with a sigh. She gave me a confused look and took my hand back into hers to urge me on. "When I put you on probation, it didn't mean that we had to just be friends forever."
She looked at me still a bit confused and oh my gosh did she look adorable! "What do you mean?"
"I mean..." I looked down at our hands as I intertwined them and took a step closer to her. "That you could change that."
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" She asked a bit shakily. I just looked at her and tilted my head a bit with a smile on my face. I saw her gulp and take a big breath before staring into my eyes, then to our hands, and then back up into my eyes. "Selena...Will you be my girlfriend?"
"I thought you'd never ask." I smiled at her as she smiled back before I leaned in and kissed my girlfriend on the lips. Ahh...My girlfriend. Oh how I'm going to love saying that.
~ Demi's P.O.V ~
Ahh! Finally! After four years, I'm finally going out with my love. You don't know how ecstatic I really am. I'm finally getting the girl I've wanted for a really long time. No one can ruin this moment for me.
I slowly pull away from the kiss and stared into her eyes like a lovesick puppy until I heard someone's voice. "Yo! Lovebirds!" Okay so I was wrong. Someone CAN ruin this moment for me and that person is Alyson! Oh I am so going to get that girl later.
I turned and looked over at her, expecting her to say something but Coach Dave did instead. "Alright I'm happy for you guys. Really, I am but if you guys are done kissing, I'd kind of love my star player back now." I looked away from him and blushed. You could tell Selena was blushing as well. She is too cute.
"Yeah and we kinda need our captain back as well." Miley called from the locker room doors. Wow. I didn't know she was even in here and by the look on Selena's face, she didn't either. "It's almost time for our halftime dance so break away from your girlfriend and let's go."
Selena blushed once again before giving a slight nod. "Yeah alright. Sorry again for interrupting but I have a feeling that she's got her motivation back." She said to Coach Dave while glancing over at me with a smirk.
"Yeah I do too. In fact, I think we all do." Coach Dave said.
I blushed a bright red as Selena giggled before pecking me on the lips. "Good luck baby." She squeezed my hand lightly and started walking towards the door before turning back around. "Oh yeah! Don't forget to 'kick some Walrus butt.'" She winked before finally leaving. And god you don't know how much I wanted to run after her and pull her into a searing kiss.
"Of course I couldn't do that because Alyson dragged me over to the rest of the team where Coach Dave was explaining our new game plan.
~ Selena's P.O.V. ~
"Now that you finally have what you've wanted, do you think you can stop bugging me?" Miley joked as we walked over to the center of the gym for our performance.
I giggled. "No promises." She rolled her eyes and got into her position, as did the rest of us. "5, 6, 7, 8!" The music began and we started our cheer.
~ After the performance ~
We were a little bit into the second half now and I can already see that Demi's doing better. I never knew I had that effect on her though. It came off as a huge surprise to me but it's clear as day that Alyson knew. Demi's so cute for that though. My heart flutters just at the thought of me motivating Demi. It's almost as if I was her good luck charm.
"Yes!" I cheered as Demi had made yet another basket. We were now 15 points...Wait, make that 13 points down. Carly, one of the players on Demi's team, had just made a nice two point shot.
"Damn. This game is getting pretty intense." Miley spoke from beside me as we cheered our team on.
"Yeah I know. We're so close to catching up though." I replied. "Aww come on! Really? Where was the defense in that?" The other team's star player had just shot a 3-pointer and no one was there guarding her. This was one of the reasons why we were losing in the beginning. Sighing, I took a seat on the bench as 3rd quarter ended with a score of 40-51.
"Well damn. Who knew the first game of the season was going to be this hard to win?" Miley asked. She's got a point though. The first games were never this hard.
"I know right?" I agreed. "Maybe I should go talk to Demi..." I trailed off, starting to get up only to have Miley pull me back down again.
"No, don't. She can do this. I know she can. And I know you know she can too." Miley said.
"Yeah, you're right. She can do this. She's Demi for crying out loud!" I nearly exclaimed while Miley just chuckled.
Before I knew it, the fourth quarter was almost over. There was about a minute on the clock and we were ahead by one point. It was amazing because we had managed not to let them score a single point the whole quarter. It was 52-51 and the pressure was on. One of the players of the other team had the ball and was dribbling it, trying to move around Alyson. Unfortunately, she succeeded and made a basket for her team. There was now 20 seconds left on the clock and Demi had the ball. She passed it to Alyson who dribbled the ball halfway down the court before passing it back to Demi who had made it down to the free throw line. Demi dribbled the ball a couple of times and shot it into the basket, making it. With 5 seconds left on the clock, the other team tried to get it down to the other side as quickly as possible. Fortunately for us, they didn't make it in time as the buzzard was heard leaving the score 55-53! We won! Score one for the Lions. The whole team cheered (including me) as we celebrated for a few seconds of victory.
What do you think of this one? Review and let me know :) Also, sorry if there are any errors. I didn't have time to look through it.
