It was the final round of the game and the scoreboard was at 5-5. The next goal was the decider! Everyone waited anxiously for the coach to blow the whistle. 1 second, 2 seconds... This shit took forever sometimes! Suddenly the shrill noise of the whistle came and the game began! Finally, the moment they had been waiting for the deciding round. Nicky sprinted up the field with the ball, dodged all the opposing teams players and kicked into the goal! "GOOOAAAAALLLL" She yelled, as the coach blew the whistle to signal that the game was over! The crowd grew wild and was chanting her name, "Nicky! Nicky! Nicky!" She smiled with joy, the satisfaction of a good game. She looked over at the cheerleaders and realised someone else was cheering as well, it was Lorna, the girl she had talked to earlier... This made her smile just a little more, and she ran straight over to her even though they were barely friends.
"You were great out on the field Nicky!" Lorna exclaimed with a smile. "Yeah Nicky, you're the best player seriously!" Said another, suddenly a whole hoard of cheerleaders were throwing compliments at her and she was seriously enjoying this attention. "Look, it's all about the team you know? You gotta take chances and luckily, I take chances which always turn out just as I plan!" She said, trying to stay as civil as possible but not resisting taking a glance at their skirts again...
Just then, someone yelled at her "Hey Nichols, I think you forgot something." She turned around to see it was Christopher, and was instantly pissed off. "Hahaha yea, yea Christopher... These are the women who just love you to bits, they were just asking about you that's all, no pressure!" She said, looking back at the girls who were clearly swooning over the fact that he was just standing in front of them. "Well... Ladies..." He said, flexing his muscles. Nicky scoffed, he was such a show-off. "Eh look, don't you wanna sort out our little argument from earlier?" She asked. "Not in front of these women, let's go somewhere a little more private..." He said to her. Nicky was unsure about what he meant, although if it was just a little fight she could handle it. "Yea ok, see you girls!" She said, walking off with him. Lorna was curious as to where they were going and like her usual stalker-ish approach in relationships, she decided to follow the pair.

Christopher took Nicky to the surrounding forest, and with Lorna not far in tow... His actions whilst the was watching could have a strong influence on her opinion of him. You see? She was a kind person, and didn't like seeing others get hurt... She could sympathise with others, just not with herself. Once she found them, she his behind a bush and watched from afar.
"Look Nichols, I really don't want to hurt you... but like all the guys on the team, we like your dominance and of course, your confidence. Not to mention those gorgeous tits which you keep covered up all the time... So you've got two options, we could sort this out in a civil and -consensual- way.. Or this could end in a fight. Either way, like all women... You loose!" He said, with a sneer. Lorna was shocked, was Christopher really like this? Was he really this cold hearted? Wow, what a snitch really. She sat back and watched some more. Nicky thought for a bit, she knew she didn't want to take his first option, just the thought of that made her sick... His second option was much easier for her. "Eh you know what? I'll take the fight. I've had a black-eye before... I can handle ya!" She said, although as usual her main intention was just to kick him in the balls and this whole ordeal will be over. "Alright then you BITCH! You're gonna pay for what you did to me earlier!" He screamed, lunging at her. Nicky dodged, her skills on the field were just as helpful here I guess. Lorna was almost traumatised but knew she couldn't just sit back and do nothing... She couldn't just watch. Punches were being thrown one after another until the finally figured out she had to help.
"STOP THIS!" She cried, tears rolling down her face. The fight stopped immediately. "PLEASE STOP! THIS IS NOT OK! VIOLENCE IS NEVER THE ANSWER!" She finished, and fell to the ground in a puddle of tears. Both Nicky and Christopher stood back and looked at eachother, Nicky was the first to make a smart remark. "You know Christopher, you're not a real man if this is how you treat women... I might not have muscles like yours, but on a scale of one to ten I'd never hurt a women..." She said. "That's because you are one..." He growled... "What? You're saying you've never been in a fight with a guy? Gosh I've seen you in fights with guys! Besides, what kind of reputation have you just made for yourself?" She said, gesturing towards Lorna. He stood their in silence, and watched as she made her way over towards the smaller girl.
"Hey, it's ok" Nicky said, putting her arm around her, and gesturing for Christopher to leave... As per usual after a fight, if they just left no-one gets told so he listened to her. She looked back at Lorna, "Thanks for much for stepping in and stopping that fight back there. That was very brave of you..." She said, placing her hand on Lorna's. This didn't calm her down as much though, so Nicky gave her one of the most heartfelt hugs she'd ever given anyone. "Seriously, thank-you. I really appreciate what you just did.." She said, breaking away from the hug and pulling Lorna up by her hand. She was still upset, but Nicky started to guide her through the forest and back towards the school. Suddenly Lorna let out a very weak "Thank-you." Nicky just smiled, and placed her arm around the cheerleader. She knew they'd only known for a day, well less then that really... but something inside her snapped. Perhaps it was because she was a cheerleader? She didn't really know, but she did feel the slightest amount of affection for Lorna, and Lorna? She wasn't sure, she was confused. She'd never liked a women in the way she was starting to now... But she was sure she'd get over it by tomorrow!
