In The End Zone

Chapter Twenty-Three

Kyle's POV

Most normal people would be jumping up and down because it's Friday, but not me. I have to suffer through a flag football game with Bailey. And since today's a half day the game will get here sooner...joy. But I still have classes. I wonder if Bailey got everything covered for Monday. I guess I could call her and ask but I don't think she'd answer. It's worth a try, for Jordan. The phone rings for a while but then she finally answers.

"Who are you, what do you want, and why do you want it?"

"You really need to get better greetings, and caller ID."

"Oh shut up doofbag. But seriously though, what do you want?"

"I wanted to know how things are going with the party?"

"They're going fine, now if you don't mind I've got places to go and things to do, so goodbye."

"Bye?"

Classes unfortunately went by quickly, and no one's seen Bailey all day. Maybe she isn't coming--well nevermind then. Look who just walked in.

"Ok guys, I want us to win, but the most important thing is to have fun." Brett has kind of lost his touch to pep-talks. "Bailey I want you QB, Kyle, I want you tight-end. The rest of you, choose your positions. Ok everyone in." We get in a huddle with our hands in the middle. "'Double F on three. ONE, TWO, THREE!" And we all scream,

"DOUBLE F!" Who knows where he gets these things.

Last few minutes of the game, the score is tied up and we've got the ball. Some of us switched positions and now I'm QB and Bailey's basically my defense. I call out the play, they go running. As I soon as I release the ball I turn to see what else is going on. Some guy runs up to Bailey, I guess trying to get me, he must not know I don't have the ball anymore. He's going at full speed but when he sees her he stops immediately. But still manages to hit her back into me, of course. We fall to the ground. When I look up there are two big brown eyes staring me down. Then suddenly, I feel different. Apparently she's thinking the same thing because as if on cue,

"Woah." It's almost as if we're in a trance, and can't get up. I snap back to reality when I hear a whistle. We get up and brush the dirt off. 

"You ok?"

"Yeah, you kinda broke my fall. So, are YOU ok?"

"Yeah I'm good."

"Good."

"Listen Bailey, I'm sorry. About everything."

"Me too, I can be overreactive and a drama queen."

"It's fine, I overreacted too. Do you wanna get some pizza tomorrow, like a 'friend pizza'."

"That'd be fun. I don't think we should tell Jordan though."

"Yeah I guess you're right."

"Well, see you tomorrow. Say around, 6?"

"Sounds good. We better get going, later." Something feels different, about her, about me, about everything.
