What A Life(Book 3 of My Life Flipped)

Football

It was February and i had lost a bet with Anthony, now I have to play an arousing game of football between Anthony, EJ, a few boys from school, and also Kristy. I was no expert in this field of sports, I never had seen one game of football, it does not interest me who goes to the world series, wait I mean the super bowl, whatever it was called. I didn't care who won what, but now i had to play the game and pray to get out with only few bumps and scratches.

     Boys played hard though, they's probably not notice if I were a girl or a wilder-beast all they knew I was after there ball trying to get it through the net, wait I mean other goal thingy. I sighed, placing the football helmet I made my dad lend me a top of my head. I snatched my car keys off my dresser and made my way down to the garage. I tripped over one of Arabella's toys as I made my way out the garge door, but caught myself quickly.

     Unlocking the car door, I jumped inside, turning on the engine in the process. I thought one more time about the stupidity of what I had to do. I opened the garage and pulled out, I took off down to EJ's house. I could hardly see through the helmet but I made it to the house in one piece. In the large area in front of EJ's house I notice that everyone was already there and Anthony and a boy named Jacob from school were tossing the ball back and forth.

     I parked next to a gray Toyota Camry and jumped out of the car. Anthony saw me and snickered, "Ready to be dominated, Katerina?" I shrugged and asked, "What team am I on?" Anthony smiled and said, "Your with Kristy and umm, Jacob." I looked to where I spotted Kristy in a corner standing with her mom. She smiled when she heard I was going to be on a team with her, she looked so small, put with the determination she posses I believed she could handle these boys. "I will have EJ and Ethan, so three on three."

     "No it's twelve on one," I said in a sarcastic tone. Anthony glared and I smirked. Mrs. Knight stepped up and said, "Now boys and girls I do not want a dirty game. Yes tackling but only one at a time. Be nice and play fair. Also over there," she pointed to where a wooded stick was place. "Is where Katerina's team is trying to get the ball and over there," she pointed to the other side where another stick was in the ground. "Is where Anthony's team is trying to get the ball."

     I nodded, signaling I understood the boundaries. "Okay then, we're ready to begin!" Anthony started off with the ball and with saying some words, the game begun when while we were crouched Anthony threw the ball to EJ whom was behind him. I immediately reacted and charged at EJ, but I was a second too late because EJ threw the ball to Ethan, I swerved and ran the other way. Ethan, however was fast enough to get the ball to the other side. They won that.

     It was our turn with the ball and I stood behind Jacob, shouting things he told me to. When he handed me the ball I panicked and was tackled, from both Anthony and Ethan. "Ugh," I grunted. They got off me, howling in their triumph. I shook my head, glaring as I slowly stood. "War is on," I said under my breath. "Cheer all you want."

     The game went on like when ever I had the ball they would tackle me to the ground. By after a few or so rounds Anthony's team had 10 while we had 5, the only reason we had 5 was because Jacob helped me, probably because he didn'y enjoy losing as well. As we started the next round and I had the ball something remarkable happened.

     I had the ball in my hands and I threw it hard, it literally made me jump. I watched the ball fly through th air, doing spirals at it went whizzing past EJ's expecting hands, though no one was over on the other side, the ball landed perfectly on our goal post boundary. I stared at my hand shocked. How had I done that?

EJ's point of view

     The game was a little irritating. Anthony and Ethan were intentionally trying to hurt Katerina.It made me mad, that I could not protect her. The shock had happened when she had thrown the ball and it soared passed my awaiting hands. I landed like an invisibly force had pulled it there. Everyone, including Katerina herself were staring in shock.

     My little dove always had something to shock people with, she couldn't leave a place sometimes without showing it. I finally had gotten my legs to work and I ran over to Katerina. "How'd you do that?" Katerina blinked and said, "I...I have no idea. It shot straight out of my hand." I hugged her and she wrapped her arms around me as well. "Hey, Hey no fraternizing with the competitor," I heard Anthony say.

     "That was 10 points right there love, nice job," I whispered in her ear. I hoped though that Anthony will just let the game go, he had given Katerina enough bruises. Which I knew because she winced at certain times. "Really?" she questioned in a light voice. I brushed her disheveled hair out her face and kissed her forehead. Ethan had knocked her helmet off her head a few rounds ago and she seemed in no interest to grab it.

     "Let's call the game quits," I heard my mom say and I heard a groan from my brother. I could almost feel the pleasure emanating from Katerina. The day was pleasing outside, but I was in the mood to be inside. I gently broke our hug and took Kat's hand. "Come with me," I said and led her into my house. I took her into my room. She hadn't been in there for a couple of weeks or so. at least not since I added a new part to my wall.

     She gasp and I smiled, standing behind her. "What do you think?" She turned to me and smiled, " Love It!"

Katerina's point of view

     I could not be more happier than when Mrs. Knight called the game off and when EJ led me into his room I was happy. The icing on the cake was what was on the wall behind his bed. I only thought girls did stuff like that, I mean I have pictures spread out around my room of EJ and I. Maybe one I sleep with but what EJ had on his wall was the proof he loved me.

     He had about fifteen or so pictures of us spread across a section of his wall and in medium sized metal letters it said, "My Little Dove And I." I faced EJ smiling and told him, "I Love it!" He flashed his smile at me and I jumped to him to give him a hug. He returned it, resting his head on top of my hair. "So you do love it?" He lifted his head and I looked into his green eyes. "I do 100%." I kissed him and made him stay there for a few seconds and then released him.

     He kept his arms around me and I snuggled my head in his chest. "I love you." He laughed a little, "I love you too, my fragil little dove."
