Erin and I just decided to wear sweats to the game. I wore my volleyball sweatshirt and she wore a cute top and a jacket. We got there a half an hour early because Erin loves to watch Jake warm up. The stands were nearly full when we got there but we luckily found a spot in the front. I looked out at the field and saw Nate smiling at me and talking to his friends on the team. I kept my eyes moving and saw the cheerleaders warming up as well. Larissa was talking to her friends and putting her blonde hair into a pony tail. Your probably wondering why Larissa doesn't like me. Actually, she hates me. She hates me, because I hate cheerleading. And to her, that's one of the biggest sins in the world. She must have saw Nate smiling over at me because she glared at me, looked over and Nate and flirtyly [A.N it's a word... now ha] called him over to her. He walked over and she pulled him into a kiss.
"She's such a slut! Can't she see that he loves you?" Erin said to me. I looked over at her and she stopped.
Soon the game started and we took an early lead, of course. I hated being the only one not standing up and not cheering so I stood up. By the end of the game, Erin and I were going insane. Somehow though, the other team caught up and the game was tied, 49-49. 10 seconds left. Now, I'm not a huge football fan, but I know that Jake was the reciever, and Nate was the quarterback. They got set up and started the play. Nate chucked the football down to the in zone to Jake. Erin and I were holding our breath but began screaming when Jake caught it. We won. 55-49. We were going to state. Our fan section was ecstatic and rushed the field... all to Nate.
Erin and I ran up to Jake, Erin jumping into his arms.
"Jake, that was amazing!" she screamed while pulling him into a kiss. She pulled away and hugged him. "I'm so proud of you!"
"Thanks Erin." He said while putting her down. I looked over at Nate and nearly the whole school wasw over there, except for the fellow Nate haters, congradulating Jake.
"Wow people are dumb," I said looking at Jake. "They're giving him all the glory when you deserve it."
"It's fine, I'm just happy we're going to state." He said like it was no big deal.
I looked over at Nate again and saw walking over to us, with everyone following.
"Hey nice catch ," he said to Jake.
"Thanks man," Jake said back.
"So you guys coming to the party at my place?" Nate asked us. Before I could respond no, Erin spoke up.
"Party? Of course! Right Ash?"
I looked at her, then at Nate, and back to her. "Um... I... guess..." I said. I saw Nate smile then look at me.
"See you there Ash," he said while walking away. What was I getting myself into?
