Chapter 4! Sorry about the delay I've been really busy these last few weeks preparing for school.(-_-) On the brightside I am finally able to upload this chapter!(~l~) Yes!(^l^) No?(`_`)Don't kill me I'm planning on uploading regularly from now on unless something happens. Ok and now I'm just rambling. Enjoy Megan's POV and the football practice/game!
Megan's POV:
All of my classes went really smoothly until P.E. I strolled into the gym to find everyone gathered around a pair of boys, who were arm wrestling. One was a familiar kid I knew from my old school but the other was a stranger. He had dirty blonde hair that was in a messy look, his eyes were a dancing green that twinkled with fight. Let's just say he was above average looking. As their arms teetered from side to side, a wide grin spread across the green eyed boys face.
*slam* "Hah! I told ya I would win ya scrawny coward! Now who challenges me next?" Eveyone seemed to back away from him, not wanting to risk getting picked. I walked steadily towards him in an attempt to learn his name.
"You're pretty strong aren't you?" He shrugged at me and answered.
"Why wouldn't I be I am a man ya know?" A man? What has that got to do with anything.
"So there are lots of weak men." I pointed out. He crossed his arms and turned to face me.
"Sure there are but they can atleast beat women." Did he just say what I think he said?! How dare you! What a sexist pig!
"I'll have you know whoever-you-are that women can beat men at things, like sports." I huffed.
He scowled."Oh yeah? Could a woman beat a man at say football? I don't think so."
"Well! We'll see about that! I challenge you to a match of tag football today after school, during football practice!" I was trembling with anger.
"Alright I'll see your match. That is if you show up. Though I wouldn't want to bruise such a fine body." He looked me over until he stopped at my chest.
I stalked over to him and gripped his shirt. I leaned up on my toes to meet his eyes.
"YOU JUST TELL ME WHAT YOUR NAME IS SO I CAN HUNT YOU DOWN AND SLAUGHTER YOU!" He smirked down at me and drawled.
"The name's Russell." The lunch bell decided to ring just then and students began to run to the cafeteria. Russell was one of them. He turned back to yell.
"Do ya want my number too?" I threw my bag on the ground, stomped my feet, and glared at his retreating back.
Third Persons POV:
All six girls sat at a table with their lunches and stories to tell each other. "Ooo Charlotte meeting a guy in the library!"
"I can see it now," began CJ. "You two will be cuddling in the corner behind a bookcase, or making out inbetween study sessions." Her voice rose dramatically and her hands gestured. "It will be the nerdiest romance ever!"
They all laughed as Charlotte grew beet red.
"You guys I just happened to bump into him, when I was running with my book-" Charlotte stopped mid sentece and began rumagging through her bag.
"What"s wrong?" Asked Lillia. After another frantic moment Charlotte stopped in defeat.
"I lost my book, it's gone."
"That's weird." Ariya pondered. "I wonder what happened to it?"
"Forget about that and listen to what happened." They all turned to look at Hannah who was about to burst into tears.
"I heard that Zain left the group!" They all stared at each other before Megan spoke.
"You poor thing I'm sorry if your too sad to eat your lunch I'll do it for you." This made them all laugh before Hannah gushed.
"I also got invited to go to the football practice after school today by some guy named Eduardo."
"Why didn't you tell us this first? What does he look like? Is he nice?" Lillia questioned.
"Well his has dark hair, kinda tall, a hazel eye-"
"Wait," Interuppted Charlotte agast. "Are you saying he only has one eye?"
Hannah nodded."As far as I know. Besides that he's mysterious and scary when he's mad."
Ariya's mouth hung open. "You made him mad already?"
Hannah looked sheepish. "I might have wigged out about Zain... in class." All five girls remained silent before they burst out laughing.
"You would." Laughed Megan. "Atleast you don't have P.E. with a sexist."
"Whoa!" exclaimed CJ. "Who twisted your panties this morning?"
Megan pouted. "It's not funny he insulted me so I challeneged him to a game of tag football at the after school pratice." She paused a minute. "You guys are going to be on my team."
A chorus of "What?!", "Who me?", and "Huh?" rang around the table.
"Well I can't play by myself." Megan argued. "Besides only a few of you have to play the rest of our team will be boys."
They all agreed to those terms and a period of silence reigned over them.
Charlotte directly turned to CJ as if remembering something.
"CJ you never told me what Mr. Morgan wanted." CJ visibly cringed.
"Mr. Morgan? Isn't he the new student teacher?" Asked Lillia curiously.
Ariya thought a minute. "Yeah the one with the super long legs?"
Hannah joined in. "And the super suave voice."
"With a super huge ego." Finished CJ. "Mr. Morgan didn't need anything really important he just... just wanted to know where the library was. He was a little embarrassed that he didn't know where he was going."
"Oh." They all accepted the answer and CJ sighed with relief. Lunch was soon over and everyone went their seperate ways.
Megan's POV:
I couldn't wait for the end of the day. Just imagining beating Russell gave me joy. He would stand there with a frown as I flaunted my victory in his face. What sweet bliss! I ran to the locker room as the last period ended. Fifteen minutes later all of my friends had assembled. Hannah and Charlotte would be sitting out on the sidelines during the game, but everyone else was dressed in their workout clothes.
Waiting on the field was Russell and his team, along with the rest of the football players.
"Okay what are the rules?" I asked.
"Simple, even for ya. All ya have to do is touch someone an they have three sceonds to pass the ball to someone on their team. If they don't then it's the other team's ball. If the ball drops, whoever last touched it has to give it to the other team. Oh and one other thing..." Russell got real up in my face. "For ya team to be able to score, a woman has to touch the ball."
I looked him straight in the eye and frowned.
"Fair enough." I motioned for my team to huddle as we thought out a plan.
"Okay guys I don't care what strategy we use as long we pulvarize them. Russell thinks he's mister big shot. Well I want to shoot him down are yah with me!?"
"Yah!" The team yelled.
"Hey why don't we just have Spiers skimpy her outfit a bit and.."
"Shut up!" CJ whacked one of the guys in the stomach with the football and he doubled over.
"Oof!"
"Enough!" I screamed. "We will not use stripping as a strategy I'm sorry I FORGOT to mention that. Now let's kill 'em!"
We won the coin toss and started off with the ball first.
"46! 59! 28! HUT!" Ariya was given the ball and throws it to Brad who is also on our team. He runs several yards before being tagged. Brad searches around before throwing the football twenty yards to Jason (also on my team) who runs a full forty yards. One of Russell's teamates with a black bandanna on his head managed to tag Jason. Jason gently tosses the ball to Lillia and she is tagged as soon as she catches it. CJ sprints right by her and is handed the ball. She ran all the way to the goal and scored.
"Score 1 for Megan 0 for Russell!"
"Yay! Go team!" Hannah and Charlotte were cheering for us wildly as well as a tall dark skinned boy. Oh he must be Christopher. I smiled knowing Charlotte must be nervous having him stand that close to her.
Russell's team had the ball next and his team scored too. Bandanna boy was really fast and that one guy Eduardo I think? He was a pretty great quarter back. Russell was better at defense than anything else. There was also another boy who appeared to be a little less athletic than the rest. He had messy ginger hair and a gentle but determined attitude.
By the end of the game we were tied 5 to 5.
"Guys *huff* we're doing *huff* great, it's their ball *huff* we just need to intercept it. Anyone *huff* have any questions?"
"*huff* No." They answered. By now we were all tired and sweaty. I almost just wanted to end the game but my pride will not allow it.
"21! 85! 33! HUT!" Eduardo had the ball and threw it to bandanna boy, who took off towards the goal. CJ was right on his heels and dove. She grabbed his leg and they both went down.
"TIME OUT!" I raced over to CJ.
"Are you okay?" I helped her up.
"Yeah. Are you okay Nathan?" Bandanna boy I mean Nathan just nodded his head and grabbed the football. The game started off again. Nathan threw the ball to a nearby team mate but before he could catch the ball Ariya intercepted it. She ran to our goal but was tagged by Eduardo.
"Ariya!" Lillia shouted. Ariya threw the football to Lillia who caught the ball and ran. She slipped and went down. Jason grabbed the ball from her and was running towards me.
"Megan!" Time seemed to slow, I was standing in the endzone and the ball was traveling to me. I outstretched my arms, grasped my fingers around the ball and pulled it to my chest. I did it! I won!
Seconds later I was lifted into the air by my team.
"Yah! We won! Losers!" Hannah and Charlotte were hollering cheers and waving wildly. I was beaming with pride and happiness. Russell on the other hand was sulking with his team. I walked over to him and held my hand out to shake.
"Good game Russell?" He looked down at my hand and gave it a hard shake before stalking to the locker rooms. Ariya, CJ, and Lillia were already waiting for me by Hannah and Charlotte. Christopher left with the other team to the locker rooms.
"Great job guys." Charlotte complimented. "You sure showed them who's boss."
"Yah I guess we did." I answered. "Hey Charlotte what was Christopher doing here?" Charlotte blushed a little.
"He um returned my book. I must have dropped it when I bumped into him."
"Oh is that all? Well maybe he came for another reason as well."
As we turned the corner chatting our principal walked out of the locker room shouting.
"No one is allowed to stay this late after school, you all have detention this Saturday. I don't care if it is the first day!"
"Mr. Hemington please be reasonable." A flustered Mr. Morgan followed after the principal.
"No Morgan I will not be reasonable. You will be their supervisor since everyone else has plans this weekend." Mr. Hemington turned in our directon.
"Ah more rule breakers, well Miss Goldman, Miss Gonzalez, Miss Cobalt, Miss Carrio, and the Miss Spiers, you all will be serving detention too." He turned on his heel while Mr. Morgan turned to us apologeticly.
"I am sorry you beauties will have to come in on Saturday." He seemed to especially gaze at CJ. CJ wasn't really paying attention to him but was worrying about something else. I slumped against the nearest wall. Detention wasn't the best way to celebrate a victory.
That's it for now sorry again about not updating sooner. I really appreciate all of you who have decided to continue reading my story thank you!(^L^)
