Dude's A Lady?

Chapter Six

"Eighty eight, eighty nine, ninety!" The boys cheered me on as I did my burpees.

I finished all the conditioning in a snap. None of it was really hard considering the girls team back home had worked us bone tired. This was childs play in comparison.

"Ninety seven, ninety eight, ninety nine, one hundred!" The boys yelled before I flopped on the ground one last time. My body couldn't do more in the twelve minute span. I flipped over on the grass and smiled victoriously.

"Alright clear out!" Blake yelled. I winced, He was pissed and I was proven right when he towered over me.

"Beat the record." I smiled weakly.

"Get up and get back on the field with the rest of the insufficient guys here." He growled before blowing his whistle and announcing our next round.

Someone wasn't a fan of mine. And surprisingly, I felt good about that.

"For our final calling, it's our new specials team." Blake announced, "When I call your name step forward."

I gulped, moment of truth. I really worked hard for this, and I really want to get Sawyer on the team. Come on, just say my name!

"Daniels, Smiths, Jacobs, Nielsen, Moorhouse, and Kemp." All the boys stepped forward. My fists clenched.

I was better than all these assholes! I should be on the fucking team, not these asshats!

"You losers are dismissed, come back when you get some talent." Blake smirked darkly before the boys sulked off the field. As had countless others before them.

"The rest of you just made the specials team." Blake stated in a bored tone, "Andrews, holder and second string wide receiver. Henderson, up back. And finally King, kicker...."

I mentally did a happy dance. I got the position I wanted!!!

"And wide receiver." He finished.

Cute jerk say what? I only signed up to be a kicker, that's it! I can't be a receiver, none-less on the defense team! I'll get slaughtered!

"Blake I can't be a wide receiver-" I began to protest when he put his hand up to stop me.

"I hate to admit it King, but you got speed and agility. All the characteristics a wide receiver needs. Take both positions or take none. I don't care." He shrugged then walked away.

Great...just great!

"Wide receiver? That's great Vivi, you must have put your all in if you made defense." Sawyer complimented me that night when we talked over facetime.

"That's not great Sawyer!" I cried out, "Do you not remember what a wide receiver does? If you don't then I'll remind you...they run away from big hulking monsters and try not to get killed!"

"Stop being dramatic. I have faith in you Vivi, now tell me what else happened today."

"I made a new friend named Sophia." I beamed, "She's blonde, pretty, and she likes fashion." I sang trying to lure my brother in.

Okay, so if i'm being honest, I hate his girlfriend Nicky. I mean she's all wrong for Sawyer. She snobby and superficial, my brother is down to earth and caring.

Polar opposites, those two are!

Sophia is really nice, and she seemed genuinely caring. I could totally see her and my brother going out. So maybe if I befriend her as Sawyer, as soon as he comes back they could trail on the right track.
