Disagreements

I sat quietly to myself in the empty classroom grading papers. I offered to do this for Mrs. Turnidge since she's due any minute for a baby and is already stressed enough. I was stressing myself though because I needed them done by five so grades can go in and I can get to work.

My phone began to ring and I ignored it and tried focusing on keeping my spot on the papers. It kept ringing, ringing, and ringing, over and over. I finally threw my pen down and picked up the phone. It was Puck. "WHAT?!" I basically yelled. "IF YOURE CALLING ABOUT YOUR MOHAWK GEL, FOR THE LAST TIME, IT'S NOT ME." "Camila, get to the field now." He was serious. I immediately ended the call and rushed out the doors quickly ran to the football field where there was a mass chaos from what I can hear. I picked up my pace until found myself at the football field "What's going o-" a football helmet struck me in the stomach and I fell on my back. Football players came rushing over and I pulled myself up.

I. Am. Pissed.

I picked the helmet up and glared at all the football players. I could tell they were all fighting before the helmet was thrown. I slowly walked over to them and they cleared a pathway for me to get into the middle of them. "First off, why did this get thrown." I eyed all of them, and they were silent. "I think Finn threw off his helmet to punch Kerofski and it hit you." Someone said from the back of the crowd and I immediately eyed him. "I'm sorr-" I held my hand up and looked at everyone. "Kneel, now." I pointed to the ground and they did so. "Where is Bieste?" I asked. "He had an emergency and told us to still practice. And then we got to disagreeing on play moves and...yeah." Mike explained. "Are you kidding? You guys are football players fighting like children just because Bieste isn't here? Do you guys seriously need guidance like toddlers just to play?!" I yelled at all of them.

I looked at Finn and walked up to him. I grabbed him by his ear and dragged him up to his feet. "Remember how you were telling me that it'll take time to figure out what you're gonna do when we talked about college." I growled. He nodded nervously and other started laughing, but I turned back and glared at them and they became nervous too. "Well, now it's time I make decisions now since nobody else can here." I shoved his helmet into his stomach and he grunted. "Great, we've pissed her off." Puck sighed. "That's good, because I can now piss you guys off. You're taking time from me grading papers, so I'm gonna make this trip worth it." I walked over to the table that had the microphone and made sure it worked.

"Five laps around the football field, if I see one person stop, everyone will start over." I announced and they wined. "We already warmed up!" Someone yelled. "I don't care!" I shrugged as they went to running. Once they had finished about ten minutes later, I searched on the desk through the piles of "plays" and studied the lines and little words drawn on the sketched field. "Need some help?" Finn came over sweating heavily and grinning. "No! I've got this!" I snapped, but it was a lie, and he knew it. "Alright boys, we need to be practicing Bieste's new thirty-five yard plan. Camila will be watching for perciseness and good footwork, so let's show her how professional we are." Finn turned around and started to get into position with the other boys. Though I was still upset woth him and he knew it, he still made sure I didn't embarrass myself when I'm trying to be angry and assertive. I began walking the sidelines and grinned.

Camila: Well, I had me a boy, turned him into a man. I showed him all the things that he didn't understand. Whoa, and then I let him go. Now, there's one in California who's been cursing my name, 'cause I found me a better lover in the UK. Hey, hey, until I made my getaway.

I grabbed the whistle from my neck and waited until I felt they were ready. They stared hungrily at each other and I looked at Finn who was steadied and ready to charge.

Camila: One, two, three, they gonna run back to me, 'cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep. One, two, three, they gonna run back to me, they always wanna come, but they never wanna leave.

I blew the whistle and watched them go at each other. My jaw tightened watching people run after Finn, but I knew he knew what he was doing.

Camila: Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me, like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em all. They won't let go, ex's and oh's.

They kept reseting and fixing anything they could. I even tried to put in some input, but obviously a lot of my opinions didn't make sense.

Camila: I had a summer lover down in New Orleans, kept him warm in the winter, left him frozen in the spring. My, my, how the seasons go by. I get high, and I love to get low, so the hearts keep breaking, and the heads just roll, you know that's how the story goes.

One of the football players then came over and handed me a helmet and the football. At first I was iffy, but then I took my half bun down and put the sweaty helmet on. Fuck it, I've been angry at them for the past hour, what harm will fun do? I followed another player to where the one was originally and got into position, not bending too far so my dress reveals too much.

Camila: One, two, three, they gonna run back to me, 'cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep. One, two, three, they gonna run back to me, they always wanna come, but they never wanna leave.

He blew the whistle and I panicked. But then, I saw Karosfki running at me and I started screaming. I started running the other way and I turned and saw Finn far away. I used all my might to throw the football towards him.

Camila: Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me, like gho-o-osts they want me to make 'em all. They won't let go, ex's and oh's.

Though the throw was bad, he caught it and I started screaming as everyone ran over to me. I took my helmet off and they lifted me on their shoulders and jumped around. Once I got down from the mini celebration, everyone started to go take a water break and Finn aproached me. "Are you still mad? I think you've punished us enough." He nodded. "Oh I'm not anymore, but I'm not done punishing you." I smirked before walking away from him, feeling his eyes following my strutting body.
