"I really would rather be anywhere but here." I sighed taking my seat in the stands. "Girl please, you know you liked getting this ticket."Aaliyah laughed taking a seat next to me.

"Now i regret accepting it more." I said seeing the football players come out onto the field. Aaliyah was next to me cheering for her little boo thing.

I seen #21 looking around the stands, I recognized the tattoo on his arm seeing it was Khalil, he gave me a slight head nod before running over to the coaches.

Khalil spent no time to start tackling the other team. people in the stands were yelling and cheering for him which was to be expected since it's a home game.

The teams were tied 10-10 with only 40 seconds left Khalil ran the football scoring us the winning touchdown.

"Thats your man." Aaliyah said tapping me with her elbow. "You funny." I said fake laughing.

I'm not going to lie, Khalil was fine as hell, But being fine does not make me change my view on boys or relationships. They're just not for me.

Aaliyah left to go find someone so i went down to go see and congratulate Khalil. "look at you." He said engulfing me in a hug and i honestly told myself to pull away but couldn't.

"Definitely not coming to another one of these." I said and he took his arms from around me. "why not." He asked studying my face.

"No sweaty football player gonna be hugging on me." I said putting my hands in my coat pocket.

      "You hell." He said wrapping his arm around my shoulder and leading us over to the locker room area.

      This is unlike me to not want to fight this, and that makes me scared and uncomfortable.

     "Too much." I said and he moved his armed away and laughed lightly. "I hear you Angel." He said before going in the locker room to change.

     "So you messing with my boy?" some guy said to me but i didn't bother looking at him. "Watch him hit it and quit it." he laughed hella hard.

       After a minute Khalil came out after a quick shower and changing, He threw his varsity jacket around me since it has been getting cold lately. "Im fine Khalil." I said trying to hand it back but he put it around me again.

     "No need to be stubborn, just want you to be good." He said and i slowly nodded not bothering to ask why.

       "come get something to eat with me?" He asked while we were in the parking lot of the school. "I guess, let me tell Aaliyah first though." I said and he nodded leaning on the hood of his car.

        "Hey." I said to Aaliyah's dude since i wasn't trying to come off rude. "Ima go with Khalil to go get some food." I said and she nodded telling me to be safe.

      "You ready?" he asked as i approached the car and nodded as he opened the passenger side door and closing it once i was in.

      We were driving for a little minute since most places were already close. "Keep driving I'm not going to a Denny's." I said and he laughed. "You worth way more then some Denny's." he said continuing to drive.

     "definitely." I sighed looking out of the window. He pulled into a small parking lot of a mini late night diner. "This shit had some good reviews." He turned his car off and got out before coming to open my door.

      "Thank you." I mumbled before walking inside as he held the door open for me.

      We picked a small booth by the window to sit at and started looking at the menu. "Tell me something about you." He said making me look up from the menu.

     "Like what?" I said propping my head up on my hands. "Just anything." he made eye contact with me as if he was looking for that answer.

       "Not anything to know." I said and he rolled his eyes. "Definitely something i don't know about you, but don't worry, ill find out." he smiled calling the waiter over.

    "Hi what can i get you?" she said only speaking to Khalil. "Sprite, and a loaded burrito." He said and she nodded. "Ill be right back with that." she said starting to a walk away.

       "I know her ass- " I started to say before Khalil called out to her. "You not gone ignore her thats for sure, somebody better come take this order." he said making the lady stop in her tracks.

         "my apologies, what can i get you?" she asked me while tapping her foot on the ground. "Ill have a sprite aswell and nachos." i said and she nodded her head looking in Khalil's direction before walking away.

      "You had to yell like that?" I asked him laughing. "of course, no ones gonna disrespect you, especially not in my face." He said and i couldn't help but smile. "You just too nice." I said still laughing. "gotta be while im in your presence."
