The One For Me A AaronXreader

Chapter 7 Football worthy

Cora pov
It's after school and the boys ran to the field. I went to the bleachers. Cadenza was here to also pick up Laurence when he was done. "Hey Cora!"
"Hey Cadenza!" She sat down next to me. The boys started off with a run. I see something in the corner of my eye and I see Aaron. He is limping. The coach runs up to him. "Boy! Where have you been!"
"At the nurses office."
"A fight?!"
"Yes sir"
"Who with?"
"Zane Ro'Meave."
"Boy! Have you lost your mind?"
Oh no. Aaron's going to get in trouble. I started to run towards him. "Sir! Sir! It wasn't Aaron's fault! I saw it! Zane started it!"
The coach turns to me. His hazel eyes boiling with rage. His face is red from anger. "What gives you the right to talk to me?"
"Sir, trust me. I saw it. I am the one who brought Aaron to the office."
His eyes starred deeply into mine. "I don't trust ya."
"Is there a way I can prove it?"
He thought for a second. Then smiled. A kind no one wants to see. "Yeah, there is. I want you to tackle my three star players. Dante, Garroth, and Laurence. You be up in full gear and tackle."
I smile. I love football. "Bring it."
"Go to the showers and change. And yes, I know your Dante's sister. There is extra gear in the closet." He said smiling.
Cadenza came up to me, "what are you doing?! Nobody has brought them down. Never!"
"Have your forgotten? I grew up on a farm, I am stronger than those three combined."
Cadenza looked unsure but kept walking with me. We reached the closet and Cadenza helped me get ready. "I helped Laurence with this before." She says. No wonder she knows how to do this so well. Last, she puts my hair up in a ponytail, puts my helmet on and we walk out.
Time skip
I reach the field. "Wow, kid, I you didn't recognize you at first. Alright. So your brother's number is 15. Garroth, 14, Laurence. 16. So they won't recognize you. So go out there and tackle. I spot 14. Garroth. I think about my father, how he abandoned me and my mother. I felt something new. Rage. And I need to let it out
Go forth sis. Let your rage destroy a voice said in my head. I shook it out and I took off with a burst of speed. Garroth turned around and made eyes contact. "Hey, who are you-"
I cut him off by knocking him to the ground. "Ugh..." He mumbled. Next I see 16. Laurence. I got up and charged. Laurence turned, same as Garroth. He must have saw my eyes. "Cora-"
Boom. Another goes down. I hear cadenza cheering from the stands, "YEAH! WAHOO! THATS WHAT HE GETS FOR SCARING ME!" She shouts. I smile. "what the?" Mumbles Laurence. I get up and saw 15. My brother, Dante. I charged straight for him. He seemed confused why his friends were down. Garroth, who didn't recognize me, got up and nearly took me down. I rolled on the ground to escape him. Dante saw me and before he could react. Boom. Three down. Zero to go. I got up and Garroth saw me took off my helmet. My hair fell out of the ponytail and was strait. I flipped my hair and a few boys gasped. "That. Was. Amazing!" The coach shouted. He ran towards me. Cadenza helped Laurence up. She smiled and he laughed. I held out my hand for Dante. He took it. I helped him up. "Kid, you got talent!" The coach shouted in my ear. "It would be an honor to have you on the team."
What?! A girl?!
"A girl?" A few boys mumbled. I just smiled, "thanks but no thanks. I won't accept."
The coach looked disappointed. "Ok, kid. Go get changed and go to stands to wait for practice to be over."
Time skip
It's almost time to go. Aaron sat out because he still was bruised badly. "Thanks Cora. I appreciate it. Nobody has ever stood up for me before."
"Don't worry about it. Anytime." I slap his back playfully. Then we both blushed. Cadenza giggled behind us. The others come running back from changing. Aaron, Garroth and Dante need a ride home. Laurence, like I said, is riding with Cadenza. We all walked to the car.
"Sis! You have Garroth a freaking bump!" He said laughing. Garroth smiled weakly and pointed to behind his head. Sure enough, the a bump just didn't match his head. "Oh my god, Garroth. I am so sorry!"
"It's fine. You did amazing! I can't believe you didn't take up Coaches offer."
"Yeah. I don't know. It just didn't feel like it. We should all play some time."
Laurence high-fived me. Aaron thanked me, again. Dante said I did great. Cadenza just stood there, because she didn't know anything about football. Garroth just smiles. Laurence and cadenza got into their car and the rest of us piled into Dante's. I drive. Today was pretty eventful. I am surprised I did what I did to protect Aaron. I always felt a spark around him. But I don't know if does too. I don't even know that much about him. Wait....am I falling for him?

This is the end of this chapter. Peace out! 😘✌🏻️
