"sexual tension"

The afternoon, the football and cheer team had practice. It was supposed to be a serious and intense practice. Semi-finals were approaching for the football team and the cheer team had to prepare for the pep rally.

Willa was teaching a new flip to Clara and the other new flyers. She showed them multiple times until Niki and the others started to spot them.

The cheer captain was walking around, seeing who could perform the flip and which stood out from everyone else. In her mind she was also figuring out who will take the position from her and Niki when they graduate.

She started to give points and show the right way to bend their body when yells was heard. "Watch out!" "Willa!" she turned and saw the ball coming to her.

As much as she was a cheerleader and the captain of the team, shock was something she had always had to work on. But before she knew it she was tackled to the ground.

She groaned as the body on top of her squished her. She huffed and looked to see Clay Thompson on top of her. He smirked down onto her and she groaned. "Are you okay?" he asked.

Willa looked at him and glared at him, "I would be if you weren't on top of me." she said. He hummed and stood up, grabbing her arm to pick her up. "Don't act like you don't like it." he said as he checked her for injuries. She looked at him in disbelief, "I don't." she said.

Clay looked back at her and tilted his head, placing his hands on her waist, gripped them making her stop and blush. "Wha-what are you doing?' she asked. He smirked, "You don't like it?" he asked.

She gulped as he pulled her closer, "I worry for you Baker." He whispered staring straight into her eyes. She hummed and nodded, "Thank you for caring." She said as placed her hand on his forearms.

His eyes drifting to their eyes and then to her lips. He gulped at the distance and hummed, he was about to say something when a whistle was blown. They jumped away from each other and saw Phil looking at them in disbelief.

Don't get him wrong, he liked the idea of the two of them being friends but with the way they were standing, close almost nose to nose was not something he wanted to see just yet. He didn't enjoy the fact that his captain was holding his only daughter by the waist and looking at her lips.

"Thompson. Baker." He said with crossed arms. Willa gulped and moved slightly away, her cheeks red at embarrassment. "Sorry coach." Clay mumbled as he scratched the back of his neck.

Phil hummed and tapped his foot on the grass, "Back to practice! And for the love of God! Watch where you're throwing Baxter!" he yelled as he pulled Clay by the ear.

"Sorry coach!" Sam yelled as he smirked at his captain. Carver shook his head and sent Niki a look who was dumbfounded at what happened. Willa jogged to her bag and wiped her face with her towel.

She let out a breath as Tina stood next to her with Maddy on the other side. "That was something." Emma said as Kara called for a break. Rae hummed in agreement as she passed Minx and Puffy their water.

"That wasn't something-" "Oh you mean the sexual tension?" Minx said. Willa spared her a glance but looked to Niki who sighed, "That was intense." She admitted. Willa huffed, "It was." She whispered.

"Are you sure this is just a bet?" Maddy asked. Willa poked her cheek with her tongue as she tried to find an answer. "Uh oh." Tina muttered as the other girls shared a look.

"Willa?" Rae called out as Puffy waved a hand to her face. "Huh?" she asked. Niki sent her a look making her shake her head, "I know that look its not like that-" "You're falling for him." Niki cut her off.

Willa looked at her girls and scoffed, "The day I fall for Clay Thompson will be the day we perform Fergalicious at a pep rally." She said. The girl rolled their eyes as Willa gulped glancing at the football players practicing. "It's just a bet. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Were you trying to get murdered?" Noah asked Clay as they ran laps. He looked at his friend in confusion, "He meant you tackling Willa and then continues to seduce her on the field, in front of her dad." Sam said.

Clay glared at him, "I wouldn't have done that if you didn't throw the ball that hard Sam." He said with a huff. Sam shrugged, "Yeah well it worked out for you didn't it?" he teased.

"You meant that disaster of hiding the fact that the two of them have sexual tension now?" Carver said as he passed the three of them. Clay stopped and stared at them. Noah and Sam stopped. "What?" Clay asked.

Noah smirked, "What?" he asked back. "We don't have sexual tension." Clay said as blush started to creep onto his cheeks. Max passed him and patted his back, "Yes you do." He said and continued jogging. Clay gulped and turned to see Willa talking to her group of cheer friends.

Do we?
