The Brooks

Chapter 65

1 week later

It went from 16 to 8 in a little more than a week.

Today was game time.

"Brooks looks like she's getting ready for the game and I think she feels confident about breaking the high school record." Ref said.

"Shut up about the record already. My gpa is still a 4.9." I snapped and I heard people in the crowd laugh. But I'm serious. It stays the same.

I started with the ball.

"Come on Brooks!" Coach yelled.

"Let's hustle bruh. Set Hike!" I yelled.

I started running.

"50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 and she's gone! In the end zone! Touchdown!" She yelled. The media was already popping up and I threw the ball down. I think that's my favorite part of scoring a touchdown. I saw Tom and I smiled at him.

"Check it." Tom said giving me a newspaper.

"Brooks gets mad that media pops up. Oh like I care what the hell they think about me." I said reading the newspaper. Tom just laughed.

I ripped it up.

"Stupid media." I said.

"Alexa Alexa." I heard the media walk over to me.

"It's game time right now." I said.

"Your fans are desperate to know about you." The guy said.

"Yo I'm desperate to fix my gpa. We don't get what we want all the time." I said.

"Just a few words." He said.

"To all of my fans out there if you see me and you like what you do that's great. But don't do what I do because you saw me do it do what you want to do it. And if it happens to be football go for it. But don't do it for anyone else. Do it for you and you only. I gotta go. From yours truly. Seriously because I hate the media. Bye." I said and ran on field leaving the media smiling.

"Come on now." I said and hit my helmet.

"Set Hike!" I yelled.

Hesitation.

"Stop hesitating! Don't make me come on this damn field Brooks!" Coach yelled.

I sighed and threw a spiral. I Jay Jake and Audrey were tackled so I started running my heart out. The ball was about to drop so I slid in the end zone and caught it.

"Brooks catches her own pass and touchdown!" I yelled.

The team gave me high fives. Alright.

I sat down on the bench playing with my thumbs.

That running back on the other team is good. He scored and I got nervous and I felt my eyes turn yellow because I was nervous.

"You ready?" One guy asked smirking.

"Yo don't let no one punk you on this field Brooks!" Coach yelled.

"Are you? Set Hike!" I yelled.

No hesitating.

I threw it to Jay.

"Yo you wearing our special nikes! You better score!" I yelled.

I heard him laugh as he started running faster.

"35 30 25 20 15 10 5 and he's gone! Touchdown!" The ref yelled.

"There isn't even first downs with this team. It's just straight touchdowns." The ref said.
