Forbidden from the start

chapter 14

Yelling, cheering, and horns are the only things I can hear now . Being in a football field after such a long time made me oblivious. I miss all of it ; the matching outfits with my brother when we went to the games , the hot dogs that he ended up stealing from me every single time because his wasn't enough, the same big cup of coke we both shared , big hugs and smiles .

The arena is so massive , that I feel like I'm more tiny than I'm actually are . It's the same field that the they're gonna play the finals too.

I'm sitting on the tenth row , Martha being beside me . The game is not about to start for at least another twenty minutes or so . I have to meet Aaron in exactly five minutes behind the benches and I'm really nervous.

Jacob stayed in my dorm for two hours . When I asked him why doesn't he go to his own dorm he replied that it was occupied. I don't even know what that means tho , like why did he not go to another girls room or one of his friends? I don't understand why they change dorms.

" Hey " I nudge Martha on the shoulder

" What's up " she says, her head still tilted on her phone , probably texting with Kyle

" I'm gonna go meet Aaron , can you watch my stuff?"

" yeah of course , don't be late tho I don't wanna be alone with those girls "

I turn around seeing some freshmans like me , who seem like the are cheerleaders of the red team . I recognize one of them . It's the girl that I saw Jacob go into her room the other day . They must be a thing I guess .

" Yes don't worry " I nod standing up

I start walking through the seats to the aisle to my left . Then when I reach the corridor I start going to the direction of the fiend , walking down the stairs. When I reach the red solid ground of the running track , I dart my eyes to the players in an attempt to find Aaron myself. When my eyes fall on the number 8 that I know it's Aaron I start going that way .

They all wear their uniforms and hamlets so it's pretty difficult to distinguish who is who , the only way of knowing it's by their number.

Aaron is standing straight with his hands on his hip , nodding about something to the other guy infront of him . They seem to discuss about the game because he points to some places on the field behind him , probably arranging where they should be .

Maybe I should probably go back if they have an important discussion. I stop in my tracks so that I can decide of what to do .

Just when I was about to leave , Aaron's eyes fall on mine and he instantly smiles .

I smile in return but stay put . He turns his head back around to his friend nudging his forearm and leaving him . He starts walking to my direction, with a little jogging in the end .

" hey " he says with a big smile

" Hi " I reply doing the same

" You're here " he states like it's something unexpected

" Yes , I'm . Why wouldn't I be ?" I shake my head with I little laugh

" I don't know why I thought you wouldn't be " he says scrunching the back of his head " Look the game starts in 10 minutes, but I want to tell you something before " he states

" tell me then "

" Not here, somewhere more .." he looks around " private "

More private? What does he want to tell me ?

Government secrets ?

" Okey " I nod skeptically

He takes my hand and leads the way to the back area of the stadium.
