A life to Remember

Practice

I was enjoying my pizza at lunch when my phone started going off.

*cheer practice after school don't b l8. _courtney.*

Oh crap I totally forgot.

"Who's that?" Asked Chloe, referring to my text message.

"Courtney. I have practice after school."

"Can I talk to you a minute?" Chad asked me.

"Sure, go ahead." I responded. Leaning forward so I could see his face.

"I mean in private." He said looking around, he grabbed my hand and took me outside. He made sure no one was around before he said anything else.

" I don't really think cheerleadings the best thing for you to be doing right now. I mean can't you hurt the baby or something." He said, sounding concerned.

"Whoa, sorry I didn't know doctor Chad was in the building"

"Trinaty." He said sounding serious.

"I'm going, if there's anything going for me in my life right now, it's cheer."

"You're so stubborn." He said, staring into my eyes.
"At least promise me that you will be careful. And if anything goes wrong, find me at football practice okay?"

"Ookaayyy Chad, I got it." I said, walking back to the table.

The rest of the day went pretty fast, now that Dallas was out of my sight.

After school I went to my locker to grab some cheer shorts and a tee shirt. I went to the locker rooms and changed. There was a couple of girls there, but none that I was particularly close with. I put on my tennis shoes and tied up my hair. I walked to the gym to find the rest of the team. We didn't really do much. Just talked about the upcoming events and learned a few more moves, but nothing serious.

When it was over i went to my car and put up my stuff. I turned the key to start up the truck but the engine wouldn't start.

"Damn it." I said under my breath

I was actually glad that Chad had given me the option to come and find me if anything went wrong, because I was probably going to need a ride home.

I walked to the field where they practiced and found one of the guys that I recognized were one of Chads friends from the lunch table.

"Hey Curt, do you know where Chad is?" I asked as I approached him.

"Locker room." He responded, while tying his shoe.

I walked to the locker room which was a pretty stupid idea. I walked in and figured everyone would be dressed already because practice ended a half hour ago.

I got a lot of smirks from guys and I searched for Chad. I realized what I was wearing. Short shorts and a white shirt. Smooth Trinaty. I turned the corner, still looking for Chad.

But instead I found dallas.

In just a towel.
