Chapter 7: New House New School New Rules

"Hey wake up Eli we're here." Max said and shoved me. I groaned, unlocking my seat belt and shoved him away from my door.

''Move you dip.'' I said and got out of the truck, standing, I stretched my arms and legs.

"Ready?" Max asked and I nodded, " If we get done before 2, we can go to the school and meet the athletics director." He mentioned and I grinned like a kid in a candy store.

"Let's go!!!" I shrieked.

"Atleast tell me what time it is?" He asked pouting.

"Noonish." I said really it was 11:32 But he didn't need to know a thing. I walked around to the back of the trailer and unlocked it , glancing at Max.

"Ready?" I asked mocking him and He shrugged chuckling.

I pulled the door up and we got started, well I did anyway.

"Move it Chubby." I poked his stomach and he grabbed my finger, glaring at me, He went into the trailer and started to pull out some of mine and his stuff.

"Go To Work!" I shouted, unlocking our new house, well Mansion probably. I gasped at the foyer and the winding staircase going up both sides of the room.

"It's really pretty in here." I said as Max walked in behind me, his gasp was audible and I chuckled.

"Poor Maxie is in shock." I giggled patting his cheek, even though he was at least half a foot taller than me.

"Stop it."Max growled and I giggled again.

"What if I don't??" I asked giggling and he dropped the box he had in his hands and I dropped mine.

"You know what they say, All pretty girls get cut in half while the Sad clown makes us laugh." He said qouting my favorite Plain White T's song, Cirque Dans La Rue. He started to chase after me and I ran out of the foyer and into what looked like a dining room.

"AHHH." Max Screamed in front of me coming around from the other side. I laughed and he grabbed me, careful of my head near the wall and began tickling me.

"Max-stop-I-I-I-Can't.." I stuttered and quit talking because it was to hard with him tickling me and my asthma.

"Shit sorry sorry I forgot seriously Im sorry. Where is it?" He asked, "it" being my inhaler. I reached in my pocket and tossed it to him, coughing. He shook it and uncapped it, putting it in my mouth and pushing down the button twice.

I took a couple deep breaths and Stood back up with Max's help. I smiled slightly at Max and He looked like he could die in a hole.

"Are you okay now?" He asked as he hugged me.

"Fine quit fussing. Can we just ditch the trailer and meet the athletic director now?" I ask and he nods. We walked back out side and I locked the door behind me. Max locked the trailer and Unhitched it from my truck.

I got into the drivers side of the truck and Max tossed me the keys over the top of it and I caught them.

"Know where you're going?" Max asked and I nodded at him, turning on the radio then plugging in my Ipod and playing Panic! at the Disco's new song "Miss Jackson". max looked at me and shook his head. I drove the four blocks to my new high school and chuckled at their sign, turning down the radio.

"Oh my god Max look." I said giggling

"Welcome Jackson Hughes and Family to Denver. Enjoy!" Max chuckled and I pulled into the parking lot. There were a few cars because it was August and Football practice had started for the season.

"C'mon Maxie I want to watch." I pouted and Max shook his head at me and got out of the car. I heard the whistle blow for practice and I smiled, knowing I could be apart of the team. Max got out and grabbed my hand. I glanced at him questioningly and he shrugged.

"Moral Support. For me of course." He said sheepishly and i smiled and kissed his cheek.

"We'll be fine, I promise and you know I don't break promises." I smiled reassuringly. Max smiled at me and we started to walk through the parking lot and towards the football field.

"Blue 22 red 45 giraffe." I heard a voice call out and I smiled even wider.

"I missed this." I said to no one specific and Max squeezed ( is that how it's spelled?) My hand tighter.

"We both did Eli, we both did." Max mumbled under his breath, blushing slightly because we were holding hands.

"Hey Max," I said stopping in front of him, " Chill out it's just a meeting basically we'll be fine, just like always, we're dynamic when we play together so we'll be fine here okay?" I asked and he nodded at me, kissing my head.

"Thanks, I was just a tad nervous I guess." He shrugged and I half-smiled at him. We kept walking and I stopped on the fence right next to the field.

"Take 5 boys, all of you.'' He glared at a few guys as he walked in our direction.

"Coach McNally how may I help you?'' He asked. I stuck out my hand for him to shake.

"Eli Hughes and Max Jameson. We were just here to check out practice today.'' I told him honestly and he nodded.

"Jackson Hughes and Tyler Jameson's kids right?'' He asked and we nodded. ''Feel free, in over there.'' I shrugged and hopped the fence and then Max jumped over behind me. The coach shook his head and motioned for us to follow him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

''Boys! We have guests!'' The players took a knee in front of the coach.

''These two are going to be observing the team and will hopefully have uniforms by tomprrow . Go ahead introduce yourselves.'' Max stepped forward and began.

''Max Jameson, I play tackle.'' He stepped back and pushed me forward. I turned glaring at him.

"Eli Hughes, and I like quarterback the best out of all my options.'' I shrugged and I heard a snort.

"A girl? As a quarterback? Coach you have to be kidding!'' This guy exclaimed, he had the ball so I guessed he was the quarterback currently.

"Coach wheres your best receiver?'' He nodded at a kid and I motioned for him to go down to the goal posts, "smart mouth pass the ball.'' The boy reluctantly passed the ball to me. I tossed it to Max a minute and stretched my arm. I took the ball back and wound up.

I threw a rocket pass, a straight perfect spiral straight at the received, he caught it and ran it back.

'"Coach, she burned MY GLOVES.'' The kid exaggerated and I laughed and the coach looked at me.

"What? He basically said I couldn't throw!'' I waved my hands.

'"Whatever Hughes, tomorrow you'll practise with us, you too Jameson. Bleachers, goodbye.'' Coach dismissed us and we went to the bleachers.

"Show off.'' Max said under his breath and I chuckled.

"Its in my genes.'' I replied. Max chuckled and slapped my head. I scoffed and we watched the rest of the team.
