The TomBoy

Chapter Seventeen: And We Swallowed It

I had so many feelings in my head, it gave me a pounding headache.

Lucas was who I wanted, but I wasn't ready for something like that.

I wasn't ready for him.

"You need to talk to him." Anna said.

I groaned in reply, knowing that I wouldn't be able to hide from Luc forever.

"Yeah, he's not that scary." Katelyn said taking a sip of her water. We just got done running our 9 daily suicides.

Coach has been getting harder on us for a while now, making us scrimmage the boys and if it was perfect, we would run.

I understand why because a big game against the best school in the county was playing us 3 days from now.

The best part was that it was away and the varsity boys were coming along.

3 lovely hours with the guys, great.

"Girls, today we have a coach from another school out of the state. This is Coach Johnson." She said. There was a guy standing beside him, I couldn't really see his face.

Oh shit, he was hot.

"Hello ladies, this is Phillip." The new coach said. He waved at us and I saw Anna batting her eye lashes. I bumped into her and she just shook her head.

"Hi Phillip." I said looking at Anna. Her face got red and she looked away. I finally got a look at his appearance.

He had golden blonde hair and dark brown eyes. I could have just stared into them forever. His jaw line could probably cut some cheese and he was tan like he was Indian.

We were in the middle of winter, what the hell?

He was 6'1 and he had big feet, like a clown.

Didn't she have a thing with Daniel?

The guys came into our gym and Lucas walked over to us.

"Hey," he whispered as he touched my side.

"Stop," I whispered back. The boys whistled at us and I just pushed him away.

"Guys, this is Phillip and new coach Johnson." I said to the guys. They waved and began to mess around.

"Stop messing around now." The coach said. We all stopped in our spots and turned to him.

"Now, I am a little different from your other coaches. If you want to be the best, you have to practice like the best. Now get down and give me fifteen." He demanded.

I looked at the guys then back at him.

"Well do what the guy says." Lucas said to all of us.

So we dropped down, pushing my self up and down fifteen times. I pushed my self back up looking at Anna who looked like she was dying.

Those are the one things that she hated. She would run ten miles to get out of pushups.

"Good, now the captains. Would you please pick your two best players, plus yourself of course, to show us a three man weave?" He asked us. I turned around and looked at my team. It really sucked how Katelyn is out with her arm still.

It was always Anna, Katelyn and I. We always beat the boys but since she's gone, I was stuck.

"Okay, lets try... Makenna Younkin step up." I said to this medium sized girl.

"I'm going to do the three man weave with you guys?!" She said with excitement.

"Yeah, don't screw this up. We beat the boys every time." I demanded. She quickly nodded and we both got on both of our sides of the gym.
