Slipped my Mind

Football... the sport all guys either love... or hate. Girls who are sporty can play and girly girls... cannot. For me however... I love to watch Football. But If you gave me one, I'd completely fail. Boys running with the ball at full speed either being dodged or tackled. I cheer them on either which way.

I'm Riley Newson, I'm 16 years old,and a grade 10 student at Flowrence Meadowville, California. I love being here really... But I just have nothing to live for. People judge me for what I look like or how I act... But I'm not that bad! So what If my hair is black with a layered cut! So what if I were black eyeliner! I still dress like everyone else! It's not like I have a black cat following me.

I only have one close friend, Cathy. She's kinda nerdy... but my best friend. When ever there is a football game at the school she lets me know so I can go watch. But I alway remind her when a new book comes out at the library, or bookstore.

Today started off like a slow day. Home room which was Geography was boring... I slept through it lets just say. Second I had math, my teacher always picks on me because he knows I don't know how to do it. Finally I had lunch. I sat down in the judge caf... in the back corner. There was an empty table so I took it. I texted Cathy to tell her where I was... but once I sent it she sat down.

"Dude you scared me!" I said startled.

"Haha then I woke you up!" Cathy laughed back turning to me in her seat.

"So whatsup?" I asked her, pulling out an apple from my bag.

"There's a football game starting in 10 minutes..." She grinned at me. My eyes widenned as I packed my bag up and pulled out a mirror to check my make-up. "You look fine! Just go!" She yelled pushing me.

"Thanks Cat! Your great!" I smiled and jumped up grabbing my bag. I walked quickly... so I didn't stand out as much as I do if I was running. I walked out of the doors near the back of the school leading towards the field. The boys were warming up and so was the apposing team. I walked quickly through the field and took a seat on the end bleacher on the bottom.

The game finally started. It was so intense in the beginning... I couldn't keep my eyes off of this one guy... # 4. He was so quick and skilled. He could throw about 20 yards! He ran at lightning speed. He could jump about 3 feet off the ground!

The game was half way through... when the crowd started getting worried... they were all staring at me too. They sat far from me but still. I was looking around when suddenly I heard, "Look out!" yelled at me. I didn't have enough time to think when suddenly I was knocked from my seat on to the ground in a thud. My head was spinning. I blinked a couple of times, then reliezed that I was gripped tighting around my waist. There was a ball inbetween me... and a guy!

He looked at me in the eyes... still wearing a helmet, but his baby blue eyes caught my attention. He jumped up off of me and turned with the ball and threw it into the air. All of the players came around and hugged him and patted his head. I sat up looking around... I was still being stared at by every girl and there jaws were dropped.

The crowd of guys departed as I slowly got up onto my feet. I leanned on the bench trying to catch my breathe when I heard, "Are you okay?" I turned to see the cutest shaggy brown haired guy ever. With those amazing baby blue eyes.

"I'm... fine..." I said standing up straight. Suddenly my head started spinning and I lost my balance.

"Wow! Careful!" He said pulling my waist closer to his hips. He was tall, and strong. "Lets get you to the infurmary." He stated.

"No... no I'm fine..." I said just as I was swept off my feet into a princess style hug! "Dude! I said I was fine!"

"I don't care what you said... I know your not." He looked at me and smiled. The sad thing is... he was right, I was in pain. I rested my head on his chest and closed my eyes. I listened to his foot steps and heart beat. Then he spoke quietly into my ear, "I'm Travis Jacobs."

I whispered back, "Riley Newson, thank you Travis."

"Anytime." Travis said back. I looked up at his face and I saw him blushing with a smile. I closed my eyes again, fearing from the pathetic stares. My mind went into a black hole.. focusing only on Travis's heart beat. Thud...Thud...Thud...
