Metanoia

Chapter 14

Today is the day my best friend plays here biggest game of Flag football. They are going against one of our rival schools, and today is one of the biggest games of girl flag football. That's what brings me and the 'Jazz hand' friends here today. Colton, Amanda, James, and I are sitting on the bleachers by the football field here to support our star player.

Me being the incredible and very extra best friend I am, I decided to go all out. Being my first flag football game I decide to make a huge sign, one of those big number one hands, and even went as far as getting the four of us matching jackets with Sarah's number on. I might have gone a bit over bored, but because this is important her I decided that we should show her how much we support her. Before we left I gave her a long pep talk on how she must stop worrying and that she must relax because I know she is going to do great!

As soon as we saw her walk onto the field we all four started cheering for her, we got a few odd stares, but it did not phase us one bit. Sarah acknowledged us with a wave and a thumbs up, once we were satisfied with busting our vocal cords before the game even started I sat down and drank so water to help with my burning throat.

I still haven't exactly figured out how this game works I have picked up on the most important rules and ways of the game, with the help of Colton of course. We were nearing the end of the game with only two minutes left, we needed one more point in order for us to win the game and claim our victory.

People were on the edge of the seats, beads of sweat trickling down foreheads, nails being chewed as we checked the time. Thirty seconds left and just as we were going to give up hope Sarah makes the final touch down before they captured her flag.

The crowd went wild while releasing a breath of relief, we jumped up in joy celebrating our school's victory. The four of us ran down to go and congratulate Sarah; she made her way to us when she spotted us, she had a huge smile on her face, and we all embraced her in a hug and congratulating her on the game and her touch down.

We decided to go freshen up and meet at the beach for a victory party afterwards. After Sarah and I were finished we drove to the beach and met up with the rest of the group. We spent the rest of the night laughing with each other about how extra we were when it came to supporting Sarah and looking at the stars around the fire. Tonight is definitely a night worth remembering and I'm sure one that I will never forget.
