Holly was always a tough girl. Growing up with two older brothers, she learned how to hold her own. So, when she decided to try out for the football team, it wasn't a surprise to anyone who knew her. However, Steven, the coach, had his doubts. He knew Holly's mom and had made a promise that Holly wouldn't get hurt. So, he made her the kicker. But today was different. The team needed a running back, and Holly was ready to show what she could do. The team was protective of her, and the blockers were extra prepared. But they weren't prepared for how fast Holly was. She took off like a rocket, leaving the other team's defenders in the dust. But then, Harold caught up to her and illegally suplexed her into the ground. The entire stadium went silent as Holly laid there, not moving. But after what seemed like an eternity, she got up. She didn't make the touchdown, but she looked sad. The quarterback told her that she should've been paralyzed after that hit, but she brushed it off like it was nothing. And they were first and goal, so Holly was going to get her moment to shine. As the ball was snap holly took the ball again and this time the blockers made sure to hit Harold extra hard as Holly made her touchdown, and she kicked the extra point. The crowd when nuts calling her the Holly Train. Holly was built different, and staying down wasn't in her blood.

Holly couldn't believe her luck when Thomas invited her over to watch the Alabama vs Oregon game. She wasn't really into football, but she was excited to spend time with her crush, especially since he was shirtless for the whole game. As the game came to an end and Alabama won, Holly felt a rush of excitement. She had decided that if Alabama won, she was finally going to make her move on Thomas. She leaned in and kissed him, but to her surprise, Thomas gently put her down. Holly's heart sank as she realized what had just happened. Thomas was a homosexual and liked guys. She felt so embarrassed and ashamed for trying to make a move on him. However, Thomas was a good friend and didn't make her feel bad for trying. Over time, Holly realized that she had been so focused on her own desires that she had failed to see Thomas for who he truly was. She learned that it's important not to judge a book by its cover and to take the time to get to know someone before making any assumptions. Although it was a difficult lesson to learn, Holly was grateful for the experience. She had gained a new perspective and a newfound appreciation for true friendship.
