The Game Plan

7

After kicking some major butt in Friday night's game, I passed out and woke up bright and early to catch the flight to Louisiana.

We arrived at 12, and the game started at 4. We checked into our hotel and changed for the game. I pulled out Cole's extra jersey that he so kindly allowed me to borrow.

Okay, so he doesn't know I have it.

I threw the jersey on over jean shorts and pulled on my cowboy boots.

"You look adorable!" My mom said when I walked out of the bathroom.

Nick you tailgaiting?

I hadn't heard from Nick since Thursday night.

Me we will probably just go to the family lunch, but we walk around before.

Nick see ya soon superstar

"Who are you talking to?" My mom winked at me and I felt my cheeks heat up.

"No one..." I mumbled, shoving my phone into my pocket.

"Right." She smiled at me.

We jumped in the rental car and drove to the game. I climbed out and the hot Louisiana sun warmed my body, which had been chilled from the air conditioning.

"Let's go." My dad wrapped an arm around me and my mom.

We started walking through the parking lot when I heard a familiar voice.

Well, a familiar nickname

"Superstar!" Nick walked over.

"You." I said, earing a disapproving look from my parents.

"She has every right to be mad. I'm the Fort Worth quarterback, Nick Morgan. It's a pleasure to meet you both." He reached out to shake my dad's hand.

"Well hello Nick." She said, recognizing the name. Please don't say something stupid Mom...

"Welllll... we better get going." I faked a smile and dragged my parents away.

Nick looking good superstar.

Me im rolling my eyes at you.

We finally found our seats and the game started. After four quarters of me yelling at Cole, which scared the people around us and embarassed my parents - LSU won.

"You did great!" I wrapped my arms around him and hugged his sweaty waist.

"Thanks Britty-Baby." He kissed my head.

See what I mean about the nickname.

"I'm gonna shower, then we can get dinner." He said.

We waited for him by the player entranced.

The last thing I was expecting him to walk out with was a girl.

"Hey guys, this is Jen." He said, wrapping an arm around the blonde.

My parents surrounded her, while I sulked in the back.

Nick where are you staying?

Me the wyndham

Nick smaaaall world... courtyard at 10?

Me why not

I sat through dinner, slowly pushing my macaroni and cheese around the plate and glaring at my stupid brother. Finally, the bill came and I was able to step into the fresh air.
