AN: Okay I know I haven't been around lately, but exams are finally over so I can get back to updating. I'll update as much as I can but I don't think that will be all that much, it's time for my hard semester to start. I know that this took forever but I didn't have time to update. Hopefully I'll be able to update once a week from now on.
Chapter 19
Mercy (Glee Version)
Girls:
I love you
But I gotta stay true
My morals got me on my knees
I'm begging please stop playing games
Boys:
I don't know what this is
'Cause you got me good
Just like you knew you would
Girls:
I don't know what you do
But you do it well
Boys:
I'm under your spell
Both:
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
why won't you release me
I said release me
AN: If you don't watch Glee, I strongly advise that you start when it starts up in April (For the USA and Canada, not sure about everyone else)
"Reed, I wish I could stay, but unfortunately, I have class right now." Josh said.
I nodded and he began walking away from the field. I joined the rest of the team in centre field. We began practice with our typical warm-up drills. We finished our grueling drills, and I saw a large group of boys jogging toward us. The boys' soccer team to be exact. They lined up on the opposite end of the field from us as we were informed that we would be playing them in practice today. I quickly did my typical competition scan, to see what we were up against. Then I saw him, standing on the far side of the field was Josh. He just stood there smirking at me from across the field. Apparently he knew about this the whole time.
I moved so that I was standing in front of Josh, playfully squaring off with him, when Noelle came up to me and whispered in my ear, "This. Is going to be fun."
"Oh yes. It most definitely is." I replied softly.
"Okay girls! You know the drill, go find someone to cover!" Our coach yelled from the sidelines.
I went and stood directly in front of Josh.
"You ready?" I asked.
"Bring it on, Hollis Hugger." Josh replied.
I did a double take. How the hell did he know about that? I wasn't about to give him the satisfaction of knowing he had shocked me. That was obviously the purpose of his smart-ass comment. He was so going down.
We lined up, and right away, I stole the ball from Josh. He wasn't any better on a team than he was by himself. In fact, I think he might have been worse. I had been hoping the game would be a challenge, but the whole game, Josh trailed behind me. I was shocked; I didn't even get that tired, even though I played the entire game.
We buried them, just as planned. I had heard they were pretty good, but most of their players were terrible. Unfortunately, Josh was one of the worst on the team. Some of their best were hardly better than some of our worst players. They never stood a chance.
We all stretched together, and I asked Josh "Is that really the best you guys can do?"
"Sadly, yes. We're definitely no match for you guys. To think they were all convinced that we would bury you guys." Josh replied.
I laughed. "As if. I heard last year, you guys lost almost every game."
"Okay fine. We only won two of like twenty games, but this is a new team this year."
"You have to admit, this can't be that much better."
"Unfortunately, it is." Josh said quietly.
I just laughed at him. I didn't think that was even possible.
"No, seriously, I was one of the best on the team last year, now I mostly just ride the bench." Josh admitted.
By that time we were finished stretching and it was time to get ready for class. I hugged Josh and we jogged off to our respective locker rooms.
All of the girls celebrated our victory with our team cheer before getting ready. That was why when I finally emerged; I was shocked to see Josh standing outside the locker room door, waiting for me.
"Josh what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be going to class?" I asked.
"I should be, but I thought I would walk you to your class." Josh replied.
"That's sweet Josh, but I don't want you to be late for your class." I told him.
"It's fine Reed. It's not like I have Banner next." Josh argued.
"Josh, just go, really, it's totally sweet, but I don't want to be responsible for you being late." I replied, being totally honest. I didn't want him in trouble because of me.
"Reed, you're not getting rid of me that easily." Josh said with a smile.
I sighed, I had a feeling I wasn't about to win this battle any time soon, so I gave up. "Fine, let's go, before we're both late."
Josh and I walked toward the science building; luckily he also had science next, so I wouldn't make him too late.
Josh kissed me quickly, before jogging off to his classroom, down the hall. I barely made it into my classroom before the bell rang.
AN: I know you all probably hate me for taking so long to update, but it's finally up at least. I'll try to update within the week.
