It was freezing outside, and having the window open made it even worse. The cold air blew inside of the house, making you more cold by the moment. You were watching TV, but you soon stopped and just lied on the couch. As you stared at the ceiling, the door opens and you sit up, seeing that it was Sodapop.
''Hey Lyndsy.'' Sodapop greets, hanging his jacket up on the rack.
You say hi back and you shiver, you see him shiver as well. He sits down and puts his arm around you, he starts to rub your arm and puts you into a squishing hug.
''You cold sis?'' Sodapop smiles, rubbing you even more.
''You think?'' You smile, reacting to his rubbing.
Sodapop stands up and leaves the room, you continue to lie on the couch and stare at the ceiling. You suddenly hear him come into the room and somethings suddenly lands on your stomach, making you shoot up. When you got all the way up, you look down and look at the object. The object was a football.
''Why did you give me this?'' You ask, checking out the football.
''Well, you want to know a way to warm up?'' Sodapop asks, sitting down next to you.
''Please tell, I'm done with being cold.'' You sigh, tossing the football up in the air constantly.
''A football game, you know, how we used to when we were younger.'' Sodapop smirks.
''Yay! I haven't played football in so long though!'' You squealed.
''Let's get the gang and start playin.'' Sodapop says, taking the football from you.
He gets his jacket back and calls your other two brothers and they were in on the plan. You than went with them to get the rest of the guys. On the way, you remembered that your crush Johnny Cade was part of the gang. You really liked him, but you never really had the guts to tell him, but it kind of seemed like he liked you back though. When you got everyone, you headed to the park and started to pick out the teams. The team captains were Sodapop and Darry.
''I choose Lyndsy.'' Sodapop says, pointing at you.
You cheer and run up to him, hitting your chests together. You turn around and than look at Johnny who was staring at you. You suddenly look down and start to blush like crazy. The teams continued to get picked and Johnny got picked by Sodapop. And you hit Sodapop in the arm because he knew that you liked Johnny.
''Yeah! I'm with L-Lyndsy!!'' Johnny exclaims, running up towards you.
Johnny comes up and high fives you, and when you high five him, he held your hand. You blush as you see that your hands were connected, and he started to blush as well. He puts his hand away and starts to awkwardly chuckle.
''S-Sorry.. You're hand was r-really soft.'' Johnny blushes.
You smile at him, than Sodapop tells you that it was time to start. Your team started out with the ball and you played ball. As you played, Johnny got the ball and you started running towards the other side for a touchdown. When you finally get close you call out for Johnny and he throws you the ball, suddenly getting taken down by Steve. You watch as the ball comes towards you, you finally jump and catch it, falling right on the touchdown line. You stand up cheering that you made a touchdown, you throw the football down and scream in victory. Sweat was all over you, and you weren't cold anymore. You look to the side, seeing your team running up to you.
''You did it Lyndsy!'' Sodapop screams, picking you up in a hug, swinging you around.
You laugh as he puts you down and you turn around, suddenly getting hugged by Johnny. You couldn't help but start to blush, you felt like you stunk from playing. But apparently, he didn't care. As you held each other in your arms, you smiled, you won the game. And a hug from Johnny. Wonderful.
