"Alright ladies! The first game is in a week! During that time, we are going to practice until I see nothing but perfection! Do I make myself clear?!" Coach Shadis was basically yelling at the football team.

"Yes sir!" All the boys answered.

"Good. Now better start with warm ups." He said in a voice that could make a grown man quiver with fear.

They all run back and forth the field, pushups, pull ups, and jumping jacks.

Each player had to prove their worth by showing Coach Shadis what their made of.

Reiner knew this as he threw the football all the way to the end zone as one football player caught it.

"Not bad Braun. Keep this up, and maybe I'll you the position of quarterback." Coach Shadis giving Reiner one of his most rare compliments.

"Thank you, Coach." Reiner nods.

"I can do it better Coach." One of the boy commented. Coach Shadis looked at the red slicked back haired player that made the comment.

"You really think so? Then show me."

"With pleasure." The red head made his way to where Reiner was position. Reiner didn't look pleased. Especially when it came to 'him'. When the red head threw the football, the ball went a bit further then where Reiner had thrown the ball.

"Not bad Galliard." Coach Shadis said and moving his attention to other players. Reiner still didn't look pleased and mutter "Porco" with venom in his voice.

The red headed player known as Porco Galliard smugly grinned at Reiner.

"Why not just quit now. You're never be good on this team." Porco said walking away.

'I really hate that guy.' Reiner thought to himself. When practice was over, Reiner made his way to nearby a gym stadium. He waited for Bertolt to come out of basketball tryouts. He hopes that his friend made the cut. As he waited, he notices 12 girls practicing some cheers with pom pons.

'Must be the cheerleaders.' Reiner thought to himself. Just before he could look away, his eyes widen and swears he could hear angles sing as he saw the most beautiful girl in the world. Her blonde hair shining like the golden gates of heaven, her eyes as blue as the ocean, and her smile. By god her smile. Word doesn't even describe her beauty.

"I think I'm in love." Reiner said out loud.

"You're what now?.." Bertolt asked, standing and looking where Reiner is looking.

"What the?! When did you get here Bert?" Reiner jumped from his spot and questioned his best friend.

"Like three minutes ago."

There was silence between them until Reiner decided to speak up.

"Alright since you caught me in the act, I'll tell you." He points to the cheerleaders. "Do you see a blonde beautiful short girl in there."

Bertolt looks into the little window. Trying to find the girl Reiner was talking about. In about 6 seconds, he found her.

"Yes. Why?"

"Isn't she beyond beautiful?"

Before he could answer, Reiner responded faster.

"She totally is. I knew you'd answer correctly." Bertolt facepalmed.

"You think I should talk to her?" Bertolt was going to answer, but Reiner didn't give him a chance.

"You're right, I should. But what should I say to her." Reiner thought about what to say.

"Just start off with a "hey" and "my name is" and you should know what to do form there." Bertolt commented.

"Bert you're a genius." Patting Bertolt on the back. Bertolt noticed the cheerleaders leaving. "Hey Reiner, now you're chance." Bertolt pointing at the girls. Reiner looks to where his friend was pointing.

"How do I look man?" Reiner asked.

"Like you." Bertolt responded.

"Funny."

"Just go before she leaves."

Reiner walks up to the girls of the cheer squad. His heart started beating fast and he felt like he couldn't breathe. 'This was a mistake. Maybe I should leave while a can?' He thought to himself. 'No, it's now or never.' Giving out his most determine game face. But that all went to pieces shortly after when he bumped into a locker. Some of the girls notice and giggled walking away.

'Well so much for acting cool.' Reiner concluded.

"Excuse me, but are you okay?" a feminine voice was asking him.

He looks down and sees the blonde beauty he was trying to talk to, talking to him.

"Yeah I just didn't watch where I was going." He said rubbing his forehead.

"Well, make sure you watch where you're going. Don't want to get too hurt, now do you?" She said with a smile

Reiner was screaming 'So cute!' in his head.

"No, I wouldn't." He responded. He leaned his shoulders on the locker that he hit his head with. "Thank you for asking if I was okay. The name is Reiner Brun. What's yours."

"Krista Lenz." She responded.

"So, you're a cheerleader?" Reiner was hitting himself in his mind for just asking that all of a sudden.

"Yes am I. We were just practicing so that way we could cheer on for the football team. They have a game next week."

"Really? Because I'm on the football team."

"You are?"

"Yes I am. Trying to make it to quarterback."

"Well I'll make sure to cheer you on Reiner. I gotta go. See you later." Krista walks away, waving back at Reiner.

"Yeah see you later." He watched her leave mesmerized.

Bertolt walks up to Reiner with a knowing smile. "So? How did it go?"

"Perfect."

"Good to hear that. By the way, nice move running into that locker."

"All part of the plain." Reiner lied.

Bertolt hummed while rolling his eyes.

"I feel good. I say we go out to eat. What do you saw Bert?"

"Sure, why not."

As they walked to a nearby pizza restaurant, Reiner just remembered something.

"Hey Bert."

"Yeah man?"

"Did you ever tell her?"

"Tell who?" Bertolt looked at Reiner confused. Reiner gave him a knowing look. Bertolt eyes widen, finally understanding what is he talking about.

"I didn't…"

"How come?"

"I don't. I feel like she might not feel the same way and besides she goes to a different high school than us." Bertolt said bummed out.

"So? We still see her, when she feels like she wants to see us. Besides with the way she's acting at Marley High school, she probably gets kicked out and come to this school."

Bertolt stood silent.

"Look, now or never. Or someone will win her heart, if she has one. You know I'm right." Reiner puts his arm around Bertolt.

"Yeah….. I know you're right." Bertolt looks at the street ahead thinking about his next possible move.

Author's Note: Double updates, yes my knights you're not reading this wrong. I felt like giving out two chapters because of two reasons. Reason one is that this was long overdue for an update. Reason two is because I felt like in a happy mood since Sonic Mania came out. I was playing three stages and I fell in love with the game. And try to broadcast Sonic Mania game-play on my YouTube channel, but that failed. I had help, so I'll live stream it later. If any of you is a gamer, Sonic The Hedgehog fan, or both: Let me know and I'll gladly send you a link you my channel.

And to answer Rex791 question- It depends on how much ideas i can come up with. Maybe 25 or 30 chapters. If any of you have suggestions, I'll gladly hear them and see IF i can apply it to my story.

Until next time knights ;)
