Emma

Just putting on my tall black boots matching well with my grey skirt and long sleeves blacktop. I pull the zip up on my boots when the doorbell rings. I get up from the sofa of the living room and grab my black chained handbag from the counter in the kitchen. My mum is still working on her computer I walk over to her and kiss her softly on her cheek and say,

"See you later!" she looks up at me and smiles and nods back at me. I swing the door open and there Meghan is wearing ripped jeans and a white blouse.

"Hey, hon!" She says taking a step closer to hug me. My mum cuts us off when she runs up to us holding up my house keys and car keys.

"Don't forget these, darling," she adds. I walk over to her and say.

"What would I do with you? I don't need my car keys." I answer to her. Meghan closes the door and I put my keys into my bag.

"Hey Meghan, okay fine. Have fun you two." Meghan smiles and then we leave before we arrive late. We get into her car and she passes me this plastic bag with two face painting pencils; red and white. Those are the colours of our school; Mckennly High. I pull down the sun visor, where the mirror is so I can see myself and draw on each chek two red lines and a white one between them. When I finish we have already arrived and the parking is full of teenagers. We finally find a parking space and I draw the same pattern on Meg's face. We get out of the car and walk into school. We can hear people yelling and screaming from the field pitch. Everybody is so anxious for the first game that you can tell the players today have a lot of pressure on them to win. The school doors are locked but luckily I and Meghan know a backdoor that is always left open. We walk over to the side of the building when we open the door to the janitor's room and then walk in and arrive at the long corridors. We walk in to end of the corridors and turn left when we are standing in front of the big white door that says - Boys locker room-.

I swing the door wide open and walk pass the guys looking at us. They are all fully dressed in their gear on because the game is starting in five minutes. Some guys start whistling at us. Meghan walks up to Garry and I walk up to Hunter that hasn't seen me yet. He is tying his shoes. I stand in front of him when he looks up in surprise. And adds.

    "Could you give us a minute guys?" They all leave the changing rooms and Gary stops at the door with Meghan and yells,

    "Lane, two minutes and you're on the pitch." He nods at the captain's orders and gets up from the bench and looks intensely into my eyes.

"Well, you came!" He says fixing his shoulder pads. I can't help but look at him in his gear. He looks so big and sexy that I would rip the whole thing of him. I learn in and grab the helmet from the bench and hold it under my arm. Before I put it on to him I get closer to him just leaving two inches between us.

    "I couldn't miss the first game of the year." I peck his lips quickly and back away and continue saying,

    "That's for good luck." I place his helmet on him and tap his head when it's on. He grabs me around my waist and hugs me whispering in my ear.

    "You are the girl that drives me crazy." And then walks off to the field. I'm left there standing astonished like he always leaves me. I walk out after him and there are all the teammates waiting in the corridor. I walk past all of them. They are in two lines and I walk in the middle awkwardly while some guys start whistling and one yells.

    "Sexy mama!" I turn around and look at the tall boy. I can't tell who it is because of the helmet but the voice isn't recognizable anyway. And I just give him my middle finger and continue walking. I see Meghan standing up waving at me. She is with Fiona, Chole and two other girls. Going up the steep stairs I come around with a lot of familiar faces cheering for our school team. I sit down and greet everyone when the crowd start to scream at the top of there tiny lungs. The boys come out running onto the pitch while the cheerleaders start to do their thing. The other team come on and mostly you hear people booing but some cheering, probably their parents. They are wearing blue and white strippy uniforms. They all form a circle and then place their hands on top of another in the centre and yell Mckennly!

The referee blows the whistle and the violence starts. Smashing bodies into one of another, bodies landing flat face on the floor and of course the long legs running for their life to arrive behind the line. The whistle goes off again and again until the opposite team does a touchdown, six points for them, and we are still on zero. We all start to shout and try to motivate them when they call it off for halftime. Now we all know we have 12 minutes so I decide to go and buy myself a nice hot dog.

Meghan comes with me to the entrance of the school field where the food truck is. There are a few people doing cue so we get in line.

    "Two hot dogs please, one with onions," I ask handing him ten dollars. He gives me the change and the two hot dogs rolled in a serviette. We sit down on the road where there are more people doing the same when I spot two people talking intensely in the far end corner. The girl is wearing a cheerleader uniform and she is talking to an elderly man. I keep on looking while taking a bit of my hot dog waiting for the girl to turn around. I can't figure out any of the faces until the girl turns her face a little to her left. It's Jennifer Collins. Who is that? I ask to myself.

    "Meg, look over there. It's Jennifer." I tell her. The way they are talking to each other seems that the conversation is important, Jennifer hasn't stopped moving her hands since I've been looking.

    "Em... Is that not the man that was on your porch the other week and told you that you were adopted?" She adds stuffing a big piece of hot dog into her mouth. She is right it's Peter Wilson. What are they talking about?
