"Hustle! Hustle!" My coach shouts as we play against one another at practice. "Let's go! You have to be ready for the game this Friday!" He shouts as Dylan passes the ball straight towards me before getting tackled to the floor, I grab the ball and run as fast as I can pass the other guys. "Come on Leo, defense protect his ass!" Coach yells as I dodge a tackle that's coming towards me. Nathan runs towards my side and tackles Jared before he can get a hit on me. I make it past the line that leads me to the end zone, making a touchdown. "Yes! Leo!" Coach yells along with everyone clapping for me. I look towards the cheerleaders to see Stephanie looking at me in amazement. I give her a wink before getting my head back into practice.

"That was great, man," Nathan says patting me on the back. "Thanks, nice tackle," I say as we make our way to the coach that has been calling us over for awhile. "Leo, keep it up if you play like this tomorrow, we will definitely be winning," Coach says. "Now as for defense you guys have to get in there, you don't just defend your quarterback, you defend anyone on our team that has that ball in there hand," Coach says. "As for you Dylan, that pass was beautiful! Keep it up, and something that I love that no one was hogging the ball, Leo you saw an open area, you saw your chance, good!" Coach says giving us all a clap. "Nathan that was a good tackle, you listened to me and you did as I said!" Coach says. "Listen, we've been practicing for two hours, I think you've had enough, how about we all go home and take it easy, and come back tomorrow with all of your shit together," Coach says before sending us to the locker rooms.

"Bro, did you see that girl in the cheerleading squad looking at me?" I ask Nathan as I put on my shirt. "Which one?" He chuckles. "The one with the black hair, and perky, round ass," I tell him as I bite my lip just thinking about that ass. "Stephanie?" He asks. "Yeah, that's her! How do you know her name?" I ask him. "Well I have three classes with her, and she's friends with Ximena," Nathan says packing everything into his duffel bag. If Nathan had a class with her he could be a good wing man and get me with Stephanie. "Nathan, how would you love to be a good friend, and talk to Stephanie all the positives about me," I tell him. "Bro, I barely even talk to her unless I need to." He says moving away, towards the exit door. I leave right behind me and try to catch up to him. "Come one bro! You're my wing man! You're supposed to be a good one at that and get me with her." I tell him. Nathan groans and rolls his eyes. He lets out a sigh before nodding his head.

    "Fine, I'll do it!" He groans. "Yes! You're the best you know that, right?" I say walking down to the parking lot. "Yeah, I know." He says. "Nathan!" We hear. Both Nathan and I turn around to see Ximena and two other girls next to her, one of the other girls being Stephanie. "Hey," Nathan says bring an arm around Ximena. "Stephanie, right?" I ask her. "Yeah Leo, right?" She asks me. "Yeah," I see the girl next to Stephanie feeling a bit uneasy. "What's your name?" I ask her. "My name is Cassandra." She says tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. She was pretty, but she had no ass or tits. "It's nice to meet you, Cassandra, I'm Leo,"  I say beginning to walk between her and Stephanie. I look over to Nathan to see his arm around Ximena. "So, where are you girls heading?" I ask them.

    "We were thinking of heading over to the diner, and get a bite to eat," Stephanie says. "Well, how would you like a bit of company?" I ask them. "I don't mind," Stephanie says, looking over at Cassandra for her opinion. "I don't care," Cassandra says with a little shrug. "Ximena, what about you?" I ask her. "I don't mind one bit." She says biting her lip as she looks at Nathan. I walk closer to Stephanie our fingers touching at points as we head towards the diner. "You guys did great at practice today," Cassandra says making me look over at her. I could tell she felt out of place. "Thanks, you saw how Leo made that touchdown?" Nathan asks looking over Stephanie. "Yeah, that was impressive," Stephanie says. "Thanks, but I couldn't have done it without Nathan's great defense," I say as we enter the diner. I hold the door for Stephanie and Cassandra, Stephanie blushes as she makes her way into the diner. Hell yeah, I'm already winning her over.

    "Let's sit in the booth," I say sliding into the booth after Stephanie. Cassie's skinny figure is able to fit right next to me. Nathan and Ximena sit right next to us, Nathan's arm refusing to remove itself from her shoulder. "Hey, what can I get you guys to drink?" The waitress asks us. "I'll have a chocolate milkshake," Nathan says. "Me too," Ximena says as she snuggles closer to Nathan. "I'll just have water," Cassie says, I look at her up and down and realize that she looks extremely thin. She couldn't be anorexic, could she? Could she be struggling with something as well? "And you?" The waitress asks me. "I'll have a sprite," I tell her. "And I'll have a coke," Stephanie says. "Okay, I'll be back with your drinks in a bit." The waitress says before leaving.

    "Do you guys know what you're going to eat?" Ximena asks. "I'm not sure I say as I grab two menus near Stephanie, and I pass one of them to Cassie. "Oh, it's fine I'm not that hungry." She says. "Are you sure why don't you eat just a small thing, like the cheese fries?" I ask her. She gulped and started to shake lightly, she was going to have an anxiety attack. I hold her hand and nod, letting her know that I understand. "I grab the menu and check it over to order something to eat for me and Cassie. "Here you guys go," The waitress says handing us our drinks. "What would you guys like to eat." She asks taking out her pencil and paper pad. "I'd like a crunchy burger, and two orders of bacon cheese fries," I say. "Okay," She says writing down everything I had said. I look over at Cassie who seems to be looking at Nathan's milkshake with a wanting expression on her face. "Would you like anything else?" She asks. "A chocolate milkshake," I say. Cassie quickly looks over to me with a shocked expression. I look down at her and smile. "What about you guys?" I ask them as they continue to look down at their menus. Through the corner of my eyes, I see Stephanie roll her eyes. What the hell was that for? Is she jealous? I grin and begin to talk to Cassie as everyone else orders. I liked to see Stephanie show an expression of jealousy on her face every time I had any little contact with Cassie. I could also tell that Cassie knew I was using her and she didn't give a damn. This could be a really good friendship.
