The Big Game

practice makes perfect

Tom's POV

I was in the field after school hours practicing my passes and shooting with my good friend and goaly Edd.
The cheer leaders were also practicing off to the side of the field.

"Tom stop getting distracted, we need to practice!" Edd yelled from the net to get my attention.
I didnt realise until now that i was staring at the cheer group leader, the way his ginger locks always stay in place when he flips just leaves me speechless.But i managed to tear my eyes away and focus on my practice a bit more until i heard a loud thud from where the cheer leaders were.
"Matt are you alright?" i heard the Norwegian exchange student ask in concern.
"y-yeah im fine, back to practice!" he said getting up and clapping his hands together happily.He was always smiling even when things go wrong.Why am i thinking like this? Tom stop it you are straight. But his voice is so..no stop. Practice.

-Time jump-

It was around 8pm now and Edd went home earlier as well as most of the cheer group, the two that were left were Matt and Tord. Matt was still trying to perfect his backflip off of Tords shoulders.
"Matt?" asked Tord while Matt was on the ground getting a bandage out of his bag.
"yeah Tord?" he replied.
"i think you should practice on the ground first.." Tord said trailing off a bit at the end.
"but i wont be able to ajust the the height if i perfect it on the ground." Matt stated,still smiling and getting up. Tord noticed me staring mindlessly at Matt and tried to get my attention.
"Hey Thomas!" He yelled.
"y-yeah?" damn i stuttered.
"could you help us?" he pleaded.
"sure" i said getting up and walking over to the two cheerleaders.
"Matt needs a more steady surface to flip off of, could you pehaps help?"Asked the small Norksi.
"you do have a strong muscle structure.." Matt said feeling my shoulders,This caused me to blush lightly for some reason. I nodded signaling that Matt could practice on me. With the help of Tord he got on my shoulders, he was so much lighter then i expected, it felt ad if i barely had any weight on me. Matt slowly adjusted to my figure and smiled.
"im ready Tom.." he said hesitantly.
"a-alright" i stuttered again and once he flipped i was amazed that he landed it perfectly. Tord was also amazed.Matt had his eyes closed and he smiled once he hit the ground.
"my god, i did it!" he exlamied happily. After that we tried a few more times then went home.
