The Promise

Chapter Eight

The rest of the week went by fast, I had no other confrontations with bitchy girls and butthurt ex best friends. Natalia hasn't pay me any mind and Landon informed me that Carissa was on a holiday with her parents. So overall I had a pretty good week. Today was Friday and the day of the football game and Jakes party. Raven and I were thrilled. I haven't partied in forever, and although I don't need to drink to have fun, I still liked taking the edge off.

Jake and I didn't talk to each other at all the whole week. He hasn't made any remark towards me or even looked my way. The only thing I noticed is that he's been very lovely dovey with Natalia which from what I hear is not like him at all. 

The football boys seem to love me and the cheerleaders are actually friendly unlike the cheerleaders who hated me back in my old school in Texas. Luke and I have been flirting shamelessly and so far I really like him, not like him as boyfriend material, I am no way ready to jump into a relationship but he's definitely nice to look at.  

"So are you excited for the football game tonight?" Raven and I were at my house getting ready for the football game. It was nice to have a girlfriend to do these things with. Landon hated waiting for me to get dressed.

"I actually am, football was huge in Texas, so I kind of started falling in love with the sport. Are the boys any good?" I was holding my Star Wars graphic tee shirt and a an basic black v neck against by body trying to figure out what I wanted to wear. My fashion sense is limited so don't judge me. 

"I personally love the Star Wars shirt." Raven grabbed my black v neck from my hand and threw it across my room "and yeah there really good, I don't know much about football but I know they win all the time." she laughed.

I laughed and started changing "So I know Luke is a running-back, Landon is a wide receiver.... anyone else I need to know about?" Raven gave me a sly look "Is this you trying to discreetly ask what position Jake plays?"

I blushed "No" She rolled her eyes, got up from the bed and patted my cheek "You're so cute." i swatted her hand away "Stop it, I'm not cute." she laughed at me. She stayed quiet while I put my chucks on and grabbed my purse.

"Well Aaron is a linebacker...I don't think I'm forgetting anyone" She pretended to be thinking. She's messing with me.

"Raven!" I threw my pillow at her head while she was laughing.

"Jake is the quarterback jeez!" she said still laughing. 

Of course he's the quarterback, I had to refrain from rolling my eyes. I've been doing it way to often. "Who asked about Jake? Gosh Raven you're so obsessed." I joked.

"Sorry, I'm just sooooo in love with him." she smirked. 

I rolled my eyes and pushed her out the door "Shut up." I mumbled.

We finally reached the football game, it was packed, but Landon made sure to save us the best seats. I could see all of them getting ready to start the game. We sat down with our drinks and huddled up together to watch the game.

"They look so hot." Raven said while eating her popcorn. She was looking at Luke and Landon throwing the football around. I wouldn't consider Landon hot, it might just be cause I see him as a brother but I knew he was good looking. Now Luke on the other hand, if I could fan myself right now and not look like a complete idiot, I would. I nodded in agreement. 

Just then, I saw number 21 walking towards Landon and Luke. Unlike Landon and Luke he had his helmet on already. I didn't have to see his face to know who he was. Jake always made my heart flutter and breathing hitch. Jake wasn't just hot, or good looking he was a greek god.
