Our Love Story // Chase Davenport

"hey, baby. wanna nibble?" leo flirted with one of the cheerleaders.

chase looked like he was sad. he had his hands on his face and his shoulders slumped. "hey, there's trent." he suddenly shot up. "i better go apologize." he said as me and bree sat him back down.

"whoa! slow it up, buttercup." bree told him as i laughed quietly. "mail him a greeting card it's so much more personal." leo suggested to chase as he shrugged his shoulders.

"guys, look. they cut up my food that i can suck up from my straw." adam cheered. i smiled at his quirky behavior as he went back to eating his food.

"hey! new kid! come here!" perry shouted at chase as she walked through the gym doors. chase stood up quickly and walked up to her. "do you know what happens when you mess with my football players?" she threatened chase. "no! you don't. because my football players don't get messed with." she shook her head at chase.

"they look humiliated to me." adam said. i quickly smacked his arm to get him to cut it out.

"i know what team spirit is about. because i was the jammer on the north pacific roller derby championship team." she boasted.

"quite an accomplishment."

"don't mock me!" she pointed her finger at chase. "my career ended when a trash talker like you got inside my head and i wiped. one zebra called it the worst single body collision she'd ever seen." perry told chase as he stood there nervously.

"i'd crash too if i saw a talking zebra." he laughed nervously.

"it's a referee uou desk donkey." she said as she got all in his face. "trent told me what you did this morning at breakfast. you will not undermine the morale of my team. evacuate this table." she pointed to all of us. "now!" she yelled. we all stood up and i could see chase wasn't his normal self.

"guys." i whispered. "i think spikes back." i told them.

"watch who you're talking to sports bra. i bet you panicked, threw yourself off the track and blamed the other team for your weakness." spike said getting all in her head.

"do you think this spike things gotten a bit out of hand?" leo asked us as he looked at all three of us. "he might've crossed the line at sports bra." bree said as i nodded my head in agreement.

"i had to quit because of that accident." perry said looking around. "quit? if move out of the state in shame?" spike asked her as she got red in the face.

"he doesn't know! he wasn't there." perry said defending herself as everyone 'ooh'd'.

"why don't you hop in your economy car and tootle on home to your six cats." spike said getting in her face once again. "and your online bingo tournament."

"jokes on you. i have five cats. ha!" perry boasted to spike. she walked off and started talking to trent. he then said something which made her come back over.

"all right, kid. i'll make you a deal. let's be civilized and settle this the old fashioned way. with a bone crushing grudge match on the football field!" perry exclaimed to us.

"um, principal perry, soccers using the field for their game tonight." leo said. "guess we can't do it then." i shrugged and tried to walk off but adam kept me in a strong grip so i just gave up on trying to escape.

"we'll just use the dog park then."

"we're in. me...him, her." he said and pointed to me. "her....and him." he hesitated at leo.

adam grabbed his shoulders and made a face at perry.

"you and your band of no body's versus my fighting dingoes. winner takes table and all the glory." perry said looking around at all of us.

"am i the only one that's gonna need a fresh change of pants before we start?" leo asked turning around to look at us. adam then sheepishly raised his hand and then brought it down.

off to the game we go...
