Miss Atomic Bomb | a.i

The next day consisted of studying for finals, and the soccer game. I was pretty nervous about finals, so when it came to the time of walking out in front of everyone in the stands, I felt my knees wobble and my head start to spin.

It's not like I hadn't seen this amount of people in front of me at the same time before, but since Rae was there, everything was different to me. And it was mainly embarrassing being called water boy all the time and people not seeing me as a player.

I had no idea what Rae and I were. Yesterday, she kissed me as hard as she could. I had never been touched like that before, and it honestly made me the most confused. Did Rae like me? Did she see me as just a best friend still? I couldn't focus on anything but her ever since I laid my eyes on her.

"Now, you guys get out there and do your best, hands in!" The coach yells, snapping me out of my thoughts.

After that everybody pitches their hands in the middle, pushing them down three times before lifting them up in the air and screaming their luck at the top of their lungs.

I walked over to the back locker room door, the players waiting for me to open it for them. I yanked it open, putting the door stopper into it as the guys all jogged out with their shorts and jerseys on. I had the balls in the bag over my shoulder and as the coach left the locker room, he shot me a quick smile and jogged out as well.

With all the water bottles in one hand, and the balls in my other hand, I decided to walk. We had some time to lose before the actual game started so as my shaky legs made their way toward the benches, my eyes searched for Rae.

It didn't take long for me to recognize the big brown boots resting on top of the chair in front of her, and the bright red lipstick sitting on the second bottom bleacher sear. A blush rises to my cheeks as she waves at me, Harley sitting right next to her chomping on her gum and staring at Michael like he was a piece of meat and she was starving.

I eventually made my way to the players bench, and sat down closest to Rae. I turned around, smiling as I see her and Harley climb down from the second bench and sit close to me on the first one. Harley immediately goes to stand next to Michael against the fence as Rae stands next to me. I smirk at her.

"I've decided to think she's in love." Rae says, looking out into the field. I was shocked. Harley and Michael had only known each other for a couple of months and now they're 'in love?'

"I refuse to believe it." I chuckle at her. The boys finally got up off the benches, I didn't have to because it was only a short practice before the game started, just to get them warmed up.

"Clifford! Get in here!" The coach screeches. I was surprised at Michael, he couldn't take a couple of minutes out of his time to stop slobbering over his girlfriend to get into he field. His hands fell from where they were positioned on the side of Harley's face, and he smiled at her before running off as fast as he could before the coach beat his ass.

"Yikes." I say, watching him flick the back of his head. Michael rubbed the part he flicked before getting back into his running position. The coach blew his whistles over and over, watching the boys run lines for five minutes and doing other things like making them pass balls to each other and things. Luke obviously showed off, kicking the ball too hard or wiping his face off with his shirt to impress the ladies.

"But Ash," Rae begins. I turn around to see a concerned expression on her face, my smirk dropped as I stood up and leaned on the fence guarding us both from each other.

"Rae- what is it?" I gently put the water bottle carton on the grassy ground.

"I think they had sex, Ashton." She looks down, fumbling with the open spaces in the fence. My dropped dropped.
