"Touchdown!!!" Max and I yelled at the same time.
***************AFTER GAME************
"Night Missy." Max whispered, leaving my room.
"Wait. Thanks for tonight Max." I muttered already half asleep.
He kissed my forehead and said "anything for you Missy."
I fell asleep smiling that night.
*****************************************
"Heads." The other team called in the air.
"Heads it is. Kick, receive, choose an end, or defer to the second half?" The referee said to the other captains.
"Receive." He said making eye contact with me.
Me? Why me? I'm the LEAST intimidating on the team.
Ugh. Boys. Choose the weakest looking player to scare. But he ain't scaring me.
"Offence your in!" Yelled coach.
I sprinted into the huddle and called the play.
If we score here, we win. If we don't, we go into overtime.
I watched as the ball left my hands and landed perfectly in Max's. That was our new trick play.
I watched as Max sprinted his way, directly into the end zone.
His face lit up as the kicker ran onto the field. I'd congratulate him later.
I held the ball for our kicker, Kadian to try and make the field goal.
The ball went through the yellow bars.
I jumped up and ran to Max and hugged him.
He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist.
He spun me around and when we where done we took off our helmets. Everyone was watching us. Coach, the team, the audience. Everyone. Damn.
Max started talking, very, very loudly may I add.
"Missy... I've been having a lot of fun with you the past week. Your an amazing football player, and an even better person. Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked me.
I heard a lot of "awwwws" and "how cutes."
"Yes." I said and kissed him.
Well damn. This is fucking cliche.
Hold up. Holy fuck.
We are 1st place going into the semi-finals!
Oh my god. Next week is the semi-finals! Oh god. We have to win next week. We have to make it.
Oh my god. I'm so excited.
After shaking hands and the locker room speech, Max and I went back home.
"Max, you did so amazing!" I said to him.
"Yeah, but you did to Missy!" He said back.
"So did youuuu." I whined.
"Not as good as youuuu." He whined back.
"You scored the winning touchdown." I argued.
"You threw all the touchdowns." He said back.
"Uh... um..." I couldn't think of anything else.
"Oh, you blocked so I could throw all those touchdowns!" I said.
"Fair enough." He said.
When we got back home I yelled "I'm showering first!" And sprinted up to the shower.
"Heyyy. No fair." Max pouted.
"Ha ha." I said as I showered.
(Next day)
When I was done I got ready for school. By the time Max was ready I was on my phone.
"Let's goooo!" Max yelled as he grabbed my hand and ran us out to the car. I started laughing until I was sitting in the the car and Max looked at me "I want this everyday." He said.
"Want what? Me? Cause I'm not going anywhere." I asked.
"No. I want to be the first person to make you smile everyday." He said.
I just smiled at him, and that smile stayed plastered on the whole day.
