Chapter Nine: Homecoming Game
A Few Weeks or so had gone by, and now it was the night of the game which Mia had only said "Alright great to be back, alright team let's do this". In the meantime, Michael had come out with Caleb and the team, they were able to convince him to join. When Hearst saw that Michael was on the team, they knew that they were in trouble. However Brian had a plan and he had actually stolen Oliver's game plan.
Yet Wes had a backup, he got his hands on an older game plan that was around the time that he was a freshman and all that. Yet he wasn't gonna say this until he felt the time was right and that was going to be a long game. Around 25-30 minutes into the game, Oliver had been 0-8 now and both Michael and Caleb were being frustrated. Julian said to Mia "it's like they know our tactics" however Mia looked closely.
Mia only said "No-wonder why they know it, look at Brian" while Julian looked closely as he said "That son of a… I am going over there to". Mia said "No don't, they'll get pissed if you do it however… Elizabeth please go teach Brian a lesson". Elizabeth questioned it but she saw what they meant and she went over now. Brian said "So you come to join the winning side" however Elizabeth took the Binder "Thanks and bye, small dick".
Elizabeth went back to her side and Brian said "I already know all of your tactics you're not gonna win this fight Elizabeth" Elizabeth said "Uh huh sure". She returned the binder to the coach and she said "Brian knows our moves". The Coach said "What do we do now? We don't have any backups". However Wes said "Untrue, we have a backup" which he opened a bag and pulled out an older binder.
Wes said "This playbook goes back to when I was a freshman" Elizabeth replied "What do you want in return?" Wes only stated "Nothing, except to teach Brian a lesson". He added "I want Brian to learn that cheating never gets you anywhere". He only said "It was a low brow move to go after Zoe but to cheat in a game". The Coach said "Alright, let's call a half-time and let the cheer team and the band do their routine".
Elizabeth had gone to her team which Mia said "Alright team get ready for the grand finale, the powerbomb" as they got ready. The football team had gathered up now, which Frank had looked over to make sure Brian wasn't doing anything. However when Julian saw the playbook, all he said was "I remember this but who". Coach said "One of the students who had a backup" while Julian looked at Wes.
Meanwhile on the field, the Cheer team was working on their routine in which Mia only asked Elizabeth "You ready for this" and Elizabeth replied "Was born ready". The team had begun their thing, and effectively worked on the powerbomb. In the end of their routine, it had seemed like it was a great success. And hell it showed that their school had a great increase in morale, then what they had fifteen minutes ago or so.
In the final thirty minutes of the game, it had seemed like it was a close call since both Hearst and Oliver were at a tie, 15-15, nothing had been improving. However it didn't mean that their rivals had any uptake either. They were all stuck and they had to figure it out quickly, before the time ran out because it was a stake of the odds. Hearst was ready to win and their school seemed to be eyeing the prize.
However Caleb, Julian and Michael were talking of a plan to take the win from them, and the three had gone out into the field now. With an all out intense in the final minutes of the game but in the final few seconds, they achieved the winning point. And when they one, it was something unlike anything else and Elizabeth had gone into the field now. She had hugged Caleb now as she couldn't believe that they won.
Elizabeth said "We did it" and Caleb replied "Of course we did it sweetheart" he told her although Frank said "Seems like it's looking good for you Caleb". Caleb replied "I'm doing a whole lot better then what I originally seemed to be". However Zoe who was watching the two, she sighed a bit in relief now since personally she was glad. She didn't want to show it but she was glad that he really moved on.
However when it came to Brian, she seemed annoyed with his attitude sometimes and she just wanted out of that relationship already. However she didn't have much options around the school really, so in the meantime she just had to deal. Both sides were just leaving their own way because they couldn't look at each other. Yet Julian said "We're hosting a party down at the beach, you guys wanna tag along".
Caleb replied "Sure I'll be willing to" and Elizabeth replied "I suppose I can tag along" while Julian said "Sweet, see you guys there". They were walking, Elizabeth said "Zoe was looking at us" Caleb replied "She was?". Elizabeth nodded before she said "Yeah, but she didn't seem really angry or whatsoever". Caleb shrugged "Maybe she has a reason or two, I don't know really".
The two had stopped at the truck which Caleb had unlocked it now and they had gotten in, besides it was a good drive to where-ever Julian was doin the party. When they had arrived, Michael and Maria were sitting together talking. Michael said "Ah finally the two love birds show up" which Elizabeth rolled her eyes. The two sat together while Michael said "Between us" he had given Caleb a bottle.
Caleb took a drink before he spit it out as he said "What the hell" as Michael chuckled and he said "It's fireball" which Caleb replied "Thanks for the warning". Elizabeth took the bottle and she drank from it and she said "I needed this". As Caleb rolled his eyes as he took another drink from it which Mia came out. Mia only said "Alright, so in important regards behind Prom" which Sydney had looked at Mia.
Mia only said "I have figured out on who I am taking to prom" which they just said "Who is it?" Mia replied "I have decided to take Sydney". Sydney went quiet now as she wasn't expecting this to happen really, although she wanted to ask her out. Elizabeth chuckled a bit, as an hour or two had gone by and it was roughly midnight. Elizabeth said "Anyways I need to get home before my father has a panic attack".
Caleb said "I'll drive you home" which Ezra said "Woah hold on now brother, you ain't stable to drive" as Caleb replied "Ezra I'll be fine, it isn't my first rodeo". Ezra said "Okay just don't get caught okay, it's gonna be hard to explain this". The two had departed for their ride home and such and they luckily made it to the house. Elizabeth said "Just come in, like I don't want you driving home alone and all that".
Caleb sighed "Fine then" as the two got out and they walked into the house and the two were discussing something. However they tripped over onto the couch and Elizabeth was on top of Caleb as they looked at each other. Elizabeth had kissed him briefly as she said "I can sleep like this" as she snuggled into him which Caleb replied "Same here". The Two slowly fell asleep in each others arms now.
