Small Town Lies

chapter nine

Erin

Saturday had finally come around (thank God) and I was at Olivia's getting ready for the big game. I have no idea who we were playing against but I didn't care. I just wanted to get ready and see Ashton. Recently we have been getting along and I think I'm starting to catch proper feelings. However, every time we start to hit it off Matthew appears and my heart starts racing. Ashton protects me and makes me hate this place a little less but Matthew makes me feel like I don't know how to explain it. But he is the perfect guy with his perfect family. Yet Ashton had the worst attitude but the worst family. I just couldn't choose. But sooner or later I'll have to.

The game starts at 6 o'clock but will end at around 8 which is going to be great. But Olivia and I are going to be the best cheerleaders this town has ever seen. We made signs this morning and decorated them with the schools' awful colours. Yellow and Blue. My favourite. If you couldn't tell that was sarcasm. Green is my colour. But anyway I was scrolling through Netflix while Liv was getting outfits ready for us. I finally chose to put Ru Paul's Drag Race on as it was mine and Liv's favourite. She sat down on the bed next to me as she heard the intro song play.

"OUR FAVOURITE WOO HOO!" She screeched as she bounced on the bed.

"I know. The new episode came out last night. Will we have time to watch the whole thing?" I questioned. Resulting in Olivia checking her watch and answering,

"Crap, no. Sorry. We will have to watch it when we get-"

"No, we can't. You and Luke are going out remember." I said with a smirk growing on my face.

"Oh shit. I forgot. Oh my God, I'm stressed." Olivia said while waving her hands in the air. I just realised she had painted one set of nails blue and the other hand was yellow. God, that is way too much team spirit for me. Then I saw laid on her chair was a letterman jacket, What the fuck. If that is George's I will murder him. And then Olivia after for having that shit in her room. I then questioned,

" Who is that Liv?"

"Oh, it's Luke's. He gave it to me because he didn't want to be the dicky guy who struts around the school with it on."

"OH MY GOD. Are you wearing it? Why am I even asking? I'm going to force you to wear it." I replied.

"Okay if you insist." She giggled.

I turned off the TV and grabbed the set of clothes Olivia had laid out for me. It was a navy bodysuit with a black mini skirt and I paired it with a pair of my Air Force Ones and a charcoal black leather jacket. Olivia wore a yellow bodysuit and a similar black skirt. She added Luke's oversized letterman's jacket. We had the same outfit but in different colours. We ran down the stairs and grabbed the keys to Charlie's car. As we drove to the game we blasted Harry Styles' albums and sang along. We got there quicker than expected but still ran to the bleachers with our posters ready to cheer our boys on.

While Coach was jabbering on about tactics and shit, Ashton waved his hand in front of my face and whispered,

"Daydreaming about Olivia?" I rolled my eyes and just thought about this game. Something was off in general. But I couldn't pinpoint it on one person. I was probably just nervous. I didn't know if it was because it was the first game of the season or if it was that Olivia was going to be there. Now that Charlie had left this team was pretty crap. George is the new quarterback but he would never be as good as Charlie Moore. The coach had finished his pep talk and the clock had just hit 6. It was go time. I grabbed my helmet and mouthguard and started to walk out with Ash. The nerves started to eat me up and I felt like I was going to throw up. As we walked out I heard the cheers of the whole student body. I turned my head and saw Olivia and Erin cheering us up on the bleachers holding posters. It made a laugh escape my mouth. I had noticed Liv was wearing the letterman's jacket I gave her. We got ready for the scrum (the worst part of the game) and I heard Olivia scream
