The Game

Today was the game, but after school at 4 of course. Rick was only in class from 1st to lunch. Once lunch ended, he had to go to the football field and practice for the game today. The squad cheered him on, but I felt something wasn't gonna be right in a way.

School ended and we all went to eat at McDonald's. We stayed there for 20 minutes, then we walked back to the school. People were already there, and we saw Rick. He didn't see us, but seconds later, he did. We waved hi and he did so too.

We heard the whistle blow, and we all looked for a seat. We sat down, and the game was starting, but I felt lost cause I didn't know what was going on. Someone from the other team kicked the ball to our school players. 10 minutes later, our team made a touchdown. The whole school was screaming and stuff.

30 minutes later, the score was 1-1, and it was up to the last few minutes. I'm pretty sure that the feeling I felt earlier was that we were gonna lose.

Our quarter back was the one who were holding the ball. When our team hiked, our quarter back threw the ball to Rick.

"GO RICK! GOOOO!" I yelled.

Rick was running and someone was in back of him trying to tackle him. Rick was almost to the touch down, but someone came from in front and knocked him down real hard, and I mean, really. Everyone gasped, but I gasped silently but looked really worried. From a distance, it looked like he wasn't responding to the coaches. Ambulance had to come and get him, the carried him to the ambulance van. I wanted to cry when I saw him get in the van. Then they had rushed him to the hospital.

I walked out of the stadium and I ran to the bathroom. I locked myself in the bathroom stall and I was crying. It's been 10 minutes and Monica was calling me, I ignored the call and walked out of the bathroom. Wait, this was the feeling I felt earlier, wasn't it?

They see me from a distance, and they all hug me, literally, Monica, Amber, and Jacklyn. Instead of watching the rest of the game, we slept over Monica's house. I didn't sleep until 4 in the morning. I cried and I kept on looking at my phone. I would text Rick but he didn't answer. I guess that the concussion was bad that he had to stay over the hospital. Monica kept on telling me he would he fine.

12 pm came and they all looked at me waiting for me to wake up. Once I did, Monica's mom took us to the hospital. We get there and it took us 15 minutes to wait to see Rick. When we see him, I cry and lay my head in his chest. He's ok, but I guess they took him over night to check for some stuff that might have been wrong. He cried with me cause I felt his tear on my face.

We all talk to him, but I ask for them all to leave the room so me and Rick could talk. I shut the door as they leave.

I look at Rick and he looks at me. I walk in closer, and I grab a chair and sit next to him. He turns his head and we look into each other.

"I'm glad you're ok," I tell him.

He smiles.

"Thanks," is all he says.

I don't know what to do. Should I cry with him or what should I do? I lean my head on his chest. He lays his hands on my back. I lean my head up a bit and we lock eye contact. We look at each other for a good second, then the unexpected came out of me, I kissed him. The best part was he didn't resist. It felt awkward but it felt right. So does this mean he's now my boyfriend. I put my head back, and I look at him, and I could say was be mine.

He looks at me with a smile.

"I've been waiting for this moment my entire high school years," he tells me.

We smile and laugh a bit. We return kissing, and we kiss for a long time. Now I can be able to say that I love him. A few hours later, he walks out of the hospital with his mom next to him. She takes us to his house and we have a little party in his room. This Saturday was the best Saturday that I could remember of my life. Monica, Jacklyn, and Amber knew we were a couple when they saw us kissing. We laughed a lot and we didn't sleep till 1 in the morning.
