Born To Be Different

Friends Score : 1

With the blinding lights flashing around me the excitement could be felt in the air like electricity Moving through the stands making everyone stand up and cheer.

It was only now that I realized I'm sitting on Beacon Hills side of the bleachers and it was no wonder Allison was from BHHS. Standing next to Allison I'm cheering for a team who I hate but the smile that crept onto my face couldn't be hidden.

I scanned the field to see if I could see Brett so he would know I made it to the game but got lost. Looking around my eyes locked with someone else's. Their eyes were gorgeous like hot chocolate on a cold day. The most beautiful hazel eyes Ive ever seen. Just as fast as Id seen then they were gone.

"What are you staring at"

Allison's voice reached my ears knocking me out of the trance I was in. "Oh nothing" I say trying not to sound suspicious "Just staring off into space."

"Well get focused. The games starting and from the looks of it it's gonna be pretty dramatic" Allison laughed clearly missing the distanced look on my face. "Look at that" she said as she pointed down to the field towards two players one from Beacon Hills and the other from Devenford.

Right in each other's faces I instantly recognised the Devenford player to be Brett and let out a slight laugh trying to get the pictures of those eyes out of my head and just enjoy the game.

The game was nearing the end and Allison and I had talked about anything and everything. We had hardly paid any attention to what was happening on the field in front of us. "The score is now 24-25 with Devenford up only by one. Will the Timber Wolves be able to save the game and score just one point to tie the game and two to win it all!" the announcer screamed over the PA System excitement and anticipation flinging his voice.

The ball snapped and flew right out of Bretts Stick into the net of a BHHS player's stick. He stood there almost as if he couldn't believe he had really caught the ball.

"Shoot it oh my gosh shoot it!" Allison's voice rising in hope that this guy would make the shot. "He's standing right behind the two point line. Why doesn't he just take the shot when there's no one around he would win the game?" I asked turning towards Allison.

Almost as if the player had heard me he turned toward the net and took the shot.

Time seemed to be moving slower than a snail. I felt like I was watching the ball slowly move through the air until it reached the net. "And the throw is GOOD THE TIMBERWOLVES WIN THE GAME"

I look over to my side and Allison is jumping up and down in uncontrollable excitement. The smile plastered across her face is impossible to not recreate on my face.

"Vale they did it oh my gosh they did it!" she shouted the smile ever present on her face. "Come on we have to go talk to them and oh my gosh I have to introduce you to everyone I just know they are going to love you. Let's go come on slow-poke" she giggled and she pulled me towards the center of the field where students of BHHS and their players were huddled in a circle.

"Scott!" Allison yelled out as we walked closer to the center of the field. Not even a second later a reasonably tall Beacon Hills High LAX player walked out. Covered in sweat that drenched through his uniform. Dark hair almost black as night against tan skin.

"Allison we did it, he finally made the shot!" He shouted as he grabbed her in a hug full of love and excitement pulling her into a kiss.

Standing awkwardly with my new friend as she kissed who I assumed was her boyfriend was let's just say one of the more awkward things I've done in my life.

"Oh, Scott '' She said, finally pulling away from him. "I have someone I want you to meet." She trailed off and turned around so who I assume is Scott was facing me and Allison in between the two of us.

"Scott this is Vale I met her when the game started she goes to Devenford and is also 17" she said almost shyly.

He looked at me with a strange look almost as if he was trying to figure me out all by one glance at me. In the milliseconds it took of him to answer it was almost like I saw a look of confusion and fear cross his face but I had to have been dreaming to have seen that.

"Hey, I'm Scott. It's nice to meet you." He quickly responded with a bright smile.

"Ok I have to get my car home soon or my dad will Kill me but i'll see you later at your house for the party?" Allison questioned looking at Scott. He gave a quick nod before getting jumped on by his other teammates and Allison and I took that as our que to step away.

"Oh my gosh Vale!" Allison almost squealed as she turned around. "You have to come to the party tonight! It's open invite so don't even worry about that and I'll be there so i'll be your introducing buddy." she pleaded.

I checked my phone and saw it was only 9 and I told papa I wouldn't be home till 11:45 so...

"I do love to party!" I smile as my answer and Allison squealed in excitement . "Perfect a bunch of my other friends will be there so you can meet them all, like Lydia and Stiles oh and Scotts gonna be there obviously!" She answered quickly, running all her words together like they had no spaces.

"Wait, what's a Stiles?" I asked very confusedly and she laughed and laughed.

"Don't worry I have a feeling y'all will get along really well." she said as she hooked my arm and we left the crowded field.
