The Captains

Chapter 12

I walked over to my closet and grabbed my cheer uniform that was hanging neatly on a hanger. As I walked to my bathroom I opened my blinds I bit so I could get a little bit of sunlight.

Today was the day.

I did my hair, makeup, and put on my cheer uniform.

"Look Aspen! Andrew cooked. He actually cooked everything from scratch." My mom chuckled as I walked into the bathroom 

"He wasn't lying about breakfast. He can actually cook breakfast." Amelia added sitting at the Island

I smiled "Well then. What did you cook?"

"Pancakes, eggs, and bacon. With orange juice, but Tropicana made that." Andrew described as he handed me a plate.

I opened up the trashcan to throw away some trash that was in my cheer bag away. I saw a box of Eggo pancake box in the trash. Apparently everything,but the pancakes were made from scratch. I smirked as I closed the trashcan. I sat next to Amelia at the island as I started to eat the breakfast Andrew made.

Then my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller's ID and answered.

"Hi." I greeted putting the phone up to my ear

"Want a ride?" Grayson offered

"I own a car. Remember?" I bought up as I ate a piece of the pancake

I imagine the eye roll he was giving me "Well of course I know, otherwise I'd drop you off and pick you up every day. So what are you up to?"

"I was joking. Sure I'll save my money on gas. Have you left yet?" I asked him

"I'm down the street so. Bye! It's game day Ass-pen!" He hung up and I put my phone back down on the counter

He talked as nothing happened last night, good.

I looked up from my almost empty plate "Grayson is giving me a ride."

My mom raised an eyebrow "Did you use your money on a car for nothing?"

"Saving money. Gas is expensive on a teenager!" I concluded as I ate my last piece of bacon, trying to hurry.

I threw the plate away and grabbed my cheer bag. "See ya."

"Wait! Give this to Grayson. Your's is in your room." He told me, handing me plastic bag with something in it

I took it out of his hands "Um, thanks."

"Good Luck today. See you at 5pm!" Andrew finished as he gave me a quick hug

"Bye, mom! Bye, Amelia and Bye Drew!"I shouted as I walked out of the front door

Almost as if it were planned as soon as I stepped outside Grayson pulled up to the curb. I walked in front of the car as he blew the horn. I jumped as I rolled me eyes. I climbed into the passenger's seat.

"Fuck you." I mumbled as I threw the plastic bag to him "That's from my brother by the way."

"I wouldn't necessarily fuck myself probably that's why I'm a virgin. " Grayson said as he opened the bag. He pulled out a Florida Gators shirt with the number 45 and Peterson on top.

"My brother's shameless promotion," I said as he put the shirt back into the bag and started to drive again

Grayson nodded in agreement "The jersey looks familiar I just don't know why."

Please don't figure out why.

"Wait where is your jersey?" I asked as I turned my head towards him as I realized he wasn't wearing a jersey on gameday
