Two more minutes till the bell rings and I go off to my soccer game. Today is a big game. If we win, it's pretty much a done deal that we are going to states.
After school I was in the locker room changing my clothes. I took my shirt off. I was getting my uniform and gear together when Noah texted me to come outside.
"Hey what's up?" I said awkwardly.
" I just wanted to wish you luck on ur game before you leave," she said.
"Aren't you coming?" I wondered.
"I didn't know if you wanted me too?" She shrugged.
"Noah, are you kidding? You're my good luck charm. Look I'm sorry for what I said earlier okay?" I said.
I'm so stupid sometimes. I hate seeing Noah upset. Especially if it's my fault she is upset.
I gave her a hug, " I love you princess."
"Hey maybe you can ride the bus with us?" I thought. She nodded her head yes.
She went to wait outside on a bench. I went back in the locker room and into coaches office.
"Hey coach? Can Noah ride the bus? She my good luck charm." I begged.
"Sounds more like a distraction to me?" Coach had suspicions.
"Oh come on coach, think about it. I'm going to play extra good because I'll be trying so hard to impress her," I pointed out.
Coach laughed at me. " play extra 'well' huh. You should be trying to impress me every game? What happened to that?"
"Coach?," I smirked.
"You've always been the charmer, boy. I guess it wouldn't hurt. If I see to much fooling around I'm benching you," he threatened.
"Thanks coach!" I jumped. I told Noah she could ride the bus but she didn't seem too happy.
"What's wrong?" I asked. I hate seeing her upset. When Noah is upset it can result in her hurting herself. That's not good. I try my best to prevent that display of emotion.
"You know, you asking that question made me realize that there are just things I can't even talk to you about without you getting mad or jealous," she whined.
"No, no you can talk to me about anything," I said.
She sighed deeply, "it's just... I kind of want to hang out with Allen. We spoke this morning and... I don't know.. I miss him I guess."
Allen Allen Allen. It's always about him. I don't like the guy. I need to watch out for him.
"I see him as my competition. I see his tricks coming from a mile away. I'm scared... Because I love you too. If you want to talk to him or talk about him, I don't want to be the one stressing you out or putting pressure on you, okay," I responded.
We were talking so much everyone started leaving the lockers and heading to the bus.
"Wait here," I said.
I put my jersey on and took my bag with me. I'm just going to put my cleats on later. I grabbed Noah's hand and walked her to the bus area. The bus was pretty much full. There were three seats left, but they were all one seater. I wouldn't be able to with Noah in this case.
Max stood up, " Come on Guys," he started. It seemed as though he was going to say or do something nice for me. Of Course  it was down with a salty remark.
"... Let's make some room for pinky and his girl, but not for to long," he winked at Noah. She rolled her eyes.
This guy named Mathew offered his seat.
Noah stopped him, " you don't have to move seats for me?"
"It's totally fine, I want to," Mathew said. I gave him a pat on the back as he walked past us.
We sat down in our seats which was near the back. Everyone kept messing with us and staring. I mean me and Noah were just being... Me and Noah.
------------------------------------------
The Referee blew the whistle three times. The game was over. We won! The first things I did was look for Noah. She was on the side line clapping and cheering for me. She looked so proud and happy. I ran up to her, picked her up, and kissed her.
"You're my good luck charm," I said.
She smiled and kissed me again.
I put her down and shook hands with the other team. After that my team was cheering. "We are going to states!!"
After all the excitement and grabbed my stuff to get ready to leave. I didn't want to keep Noah waiting. When I turned my head to Noah I saw Allen there too.
"What are you doing here man?" I asked.
"This game was Going to send you guys to states. Go tigers!! Plus .. You know... Noah was here. I thought I'd stop by," he said nervously.
"Did you now?" I peered.
Noah grabbed my arm and gave me a look.
Henry came over, " hey man. We are going to go get victory pizza with the team. Come on."
I turned to Noah and Allen.
"Noah, I'm going to the pizza dinner. I'm totally cool with you staying with Allen," I have smiled.
Her eyes glittered and she kissed me, " you're awesome Lucas."
Allen turned his head while we were kissing.
"See you later, princess," I said to Noah.
