Chapter 2

I hate football, really I do. But I pretend to like it as I sit with Dougie watching Danny play. He's quite good, well; I think he is; I'm not too good with the sport myself. Dougie doesn't speak to me the whole match; I don't think he likes me. Oh well, I don't particularly like him.

Dougie finally speaks once the game is finished,

"Did they win or lose?" He asks me, I'm confused

"I think they won, why?"

"I just wondered" He shrugged

"Weren't you watching it?" I ask

"Yeah, but I don't really get football, Danny makes me come every week"

"Maybe I could come instead now" I suggest

He looks at me as if he's trying to stop himself from doing or saying something, I go to ask what's the matter, when Danny approaches us.

"Hey, Shan" He smiles

"Hey, Danny" I reply

"I'm gonna head home" Dougie says, flatly, I just nod, as does Danny.

Dougie whispers something in Danny's ear as he walks off, I see Danny discolour slightly at Dougie's words. I'm so confused. Danny watches as Dougie walks away, a frown on his otherwise beautiful face

"What's wrong?" I ask him

"Nothing, I'm gonna head home as well, see you tomorrow at school, bye" He seems a lot less happy after Dougie's words; I wonder what he said to him.

Hmmmmm...
