kissing your life goodbye

Nicole

Jacks dad is..wow. I don't know how jack puts up with him, honestly. He's so negative and yells everything. Like everything. If you're underwear our on the gym floor pick them up before coach sees.
"WHOSE PAIR OF UNDERPANTS ARE THESE?"  coach had yelled. Anyway, he's really stoked to get jack into the NFL. I guess I just don't see why 200 push-ups will make all the difference. Apparently all the guys on the team know how hardcore coach is. Including Ben, who offers to drive me home.
"Won't coach?"
"Na says to be active!"
"I ran 10 laps and did 200 push-ups tell me that's not active!"
"It's not active"
I glare at him.
"Hey you said tell me that's-"
I flip Ben over, I mean I grabbed his wrist and just..tugged. He flies to the ground.
" I'm really sorry, it's sorta a habit"
"A habit to punch people?" Ben says standing up.
"Sorry!" I bite my lip and shiver. I notice snowflakes falling.
"Well I'm going to guess you do karate and are really good at it."
"Black  belt actually."
"Nice so how about that ride?"
"Thanks !" I watch the snow flutter down and I hear some snickers.
"Man up!"  One of the boys yells and then they kind of all jump on
Me and it smells like really smells.
"Ew" I say in protest pushing away the boys. Ben pulls me out of the pile
"I thought you were a blackbelt" he says accusingly and in return I gut punch him. He falls then laughs.
"Come on" I followed him to his car and it's a bug. A white bug. "So am I dropping you off at jacks?"
"I am Jack remember." I say grinning at Ben.
"Right, sorry." Ben picks up the football Which is softly covered in snow and his bag by the bench. I pick up my bag and fall over. Onto Ben.
"Sorry!" I cry ands he just picks up my bag with his pinkie. He's probably trying to impress me& it's sorta working. I shiver and realize 5 days until Christmas which means..
"OH CRUD!" I think I look like I'm having an heart attack cuz Ben grabs my wrist and checks my pulse. Schools off. The winter formal tomorrow. But then,  It's winter break. When did we swap, when that stupid school nurse wore her stupid ring. Which we won't see until stupid break is over. 2 weeks in jacks body. This is only the first day.
I can't live with jacks dad. I'm not prepared.
"Hey, okay we got this" Ben whispers to me. His curly blonde hair filled with snowflakes. He knows exactly what's going on.
