"Give Into Your Darkside"

Chapter 4: Not Dates and Not Quites

Shor's P.O.V

The game is just about to start.

I'm standing down near the bench listening to coach pep talk the team.

"Look panthers your all amazing and I'm sure your girlfriends love you but tonight. We need to continue our streak of undefeated. So pass to Mallory. Just keep that in the back of your head. Pass to Mallory." Coach reminds everyone.

I look up into the bleachers and am gutted to find no Emory. I see Penny standing on the back bleacher where they sat last week alone cheering.

"Mallory, are you listening?" I hear coach

"Sorry coach what's up?"

"Take the ball from Noah straight to touchdown okay?"

"Okay coach" but the farthest thing from my mind right now is football.

All I can think about is her.

Emory

Where is she? Did she stand me up? Does she really hate me that much? What if something bad happened? Don't be stupid Penny wouldn't be here if something bad happened! Unless she doesn't know? What if it happened on the way here?

"Mallory stop day dreaming. Get your head in the game. Get on the field!" Coach screams

Still Shor's P.O.V

Whistle blows *

"Huddle up boys" coach yells "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT THERE? MALLORY WHERES YOUR HEAD TODAY KID"

I go to answer but am cut off

"FORGET IT I DONT CARE. JUST GET YOUR HEAD OUT THERE" coach screams pointing to the field I look up at the scoreboard.

0-3

It's all her fault. Why isn't she here? I can't concentrate. I haven't been able to eat or sleep all I can do is think about Emory.

If I don't get her out of my head were gonna lose and I'm going to go insane.

I take one last look up at the bleachers that I have been nonstop staring at for the first half of the game, to find the one the only Emory James standing next to Penny. When she sees me look she gives me a thumbs up and mouth 'you got this'. All of a sudden all I wanna do is win this game. I want her to be proud of me. I HAVE TO WIN!

I run back out on the field with new determination. I wanna win for her.

Final whistle blows*

7-3

We won!

I scored the winning touchdown and the team has scooped me up on their shoulders.

"Mallory! Mallory!" The crowd and team Chant as I sit on top of the boy's shoulders staring up the bleachers at the most beautiful girl I've ever seen she has the hugest smile on her face and she's clapping.

"Oi boys let me down," I say getting down and pushing my way through the crowd toward the bleachers

Before I can get there someone stops me
