Just Another Girl

Chapter 13

~The next day~

Game day

    "This is a nail-biter, folks. There's 47 seconds left on the clock. We're all tied up. The Sherwood falcons, two. The fighting knights, two. What a game between Auradon's fiercest rivals."

    "Get 'em, Chad." Jay said.

    "Thanks, Jay." Chad said. He looked at Jenna and gave her a smile, but she glared back at him.

"Hey, don't think about Chad." Jay said. He put his hand on her's and smiled. "He's not worth it."

"Thank you." She smiled back.

    "The teams get into their huddles and take up positions along the kill zone. The dragoneers have been laying down a withering hail of fire."

    "You're guys are up." Coach looked at Jay and Jenna.

    "And now a substitution..."

    "Coach, how about my buddy here?" Jay asked. Jenna walked passed him and walked to her position on the field.

    "Oh, no. Not so sure about that." Coach said.

    "Coach, he's been practicing." Jay said.

    "Jay..." Carlos said.

    "And you said yourself a team is made up of a bunch of parts." Jay started.

    "Jay, I'm not that good." Carlos whispered.

    "Well, he's kind of like my brain." Jay continued.

    "Come here!" Coach pointed at someone on the field.

    "You heard him. Get out there! Don't worry, bro. I got your back." Jay said.

    "How about my front?" Carlos asked.

    "Pfft. Get out there." Jay said.

    "He's bringing that hothead Jay in from the isle of the lost and that little guy Carlos can barely hold a shield."

    "Break!" The whole team screamed.

"When they break from their huddles, this is gonna be a big moment here. And the tipoff is ready. Here we go. Long pass goes to Jay. Jay dishes off to prince Ben. Nice little block by Carlos. He does a little dancing jig in his opponent's face. And now Jay gets the ball back. Here comes Jay! Jay, hurdling maneuver at mid-field."

    "I'm open!" Carlos said.

    "Jay makes a nice pass to prince Ben through the kill zone, and then to princess Jenna. She made a great pass to Jay."

    "Jay!" Carlos said.

    "Big block by Chad! Prince Ben moves over wide, gives it back to Jay. He's in the clear! Shot! Oh, what a save by Philip the falcons' goalkeeper!"

    "Come on!" Coach said.

    "All right, all right, let's do it!" Jay said.

    "Come on, guys! Come on, hustle, hustle!" Coach said.

    "23 seconds left. You could cut the tension with a sword. The long ball is played into Jay. Jay, great jump, great leap. And a great move by Jay. Big block from Chad, and Jenna. Jay dishes off to prince Ben. And then Carlos with a big block, goes down. Jay through the kill zone, picks up Carlos. Oh, he's being hammered by dragon fire. Still, going on. Jay, hurdling maneuver at mid-field. He's in the clear. The ball goes back to Jay. Then to Jenna and then back to Jay again."
