Ninjago High School

The Football Game

Jay's POV

I've been attending Ninjago High for almost two weeks and so far I really enjoy it here. Well if you take out the fact that my crush is dating the most popular guy in school. Anyway, all that everyone has been talking about is 'The BIG game' which I don't understand what that even is. 

It was after school and the group and I were just talking in the park until I brought up what was on my mind, "Do you guys know what The BIG game is?" I asked. 

I noticed Cole chocked on the piece of apple he had once I asked that question, "You mean you don't know?" He asked once he swallowed the apple. 

I shook my head. Kai was the first one to speak, "The BIG game is a Football game" He told me.

 I was still confused though, "Then why is it called The BIG game then?" I questioned. 

Lloyd sighed, "It's because of my brother unfortunately, you see before he came here in his freshman year. He was part of our rival school, The Cursed Academy. And they are the biggest cheaters anyone has ever seen. He then transferred half way through the semester cause Dad got a different job. Not to get off topic here, ever since Morro came here the school hated us cause we took their best player in Football. And now both the Cursed Academy and Ninjago High made it to the finals together" Lloyd explained. 

"And that's why it's called the BIG game?" I asked. 

The others nodded, "We are all planning on going to it since Nya is the cheerleader captain and Morro is the quarter back" Zane told me as my eyes widened just hearing Nya's name. 

I felt my face heating up and the others just looked at me weirdly, "You okay Jay?" Kai asked. 

I scratched the back of my neck in embarrassment, "Yeah I'm fine just is it okay if I come along with you to the game?" I asked with a stutter.

 Zane nodded, "Of course. You are one of us now" He said with a smile as he patted my back. I smiled back at him in both happiness and excitement. Apparently the BIG game was tonight and I didn't even tell my parents. I left a little early from the park and told the other to just pick me up before the game. 

I ran all the way back to my parents Junkyard and rushed into the RV that we stayed in. My mother was just making dinner while my dad was reading the daily times of Ninjago paper. "Are you okay Jay? You seem a little frightened" My mother said as she walked over to me to give me a big bear hug.

 "I just wanted to ask you something. T-There's this Football game I-I want to go to w-with my friends and I wanted to run it by you first and I-I can I go?" I asked quickly. 

My dad just chuckled a little, "Of course you can go son. I wouldn't let you miss something like that" Father said. I smiled at him and ran to my room to get changed, I wore plain blue jeans with a white t-shirt and a blue jacket over it.  I heard a honk from outside my house and ran to the front door and opened it to see a red range rover parked outside. Just as I was about to walk out the door my mother said, "Are you wearing clean underwear?"

My face went white, "MOOMMM" I said embarrassed.

 "Alright, alright, I'm just teasing, but make sure to come home after the game. If anything changes call me and I'll see if it's okay" She assured me. I nodded and ran over to the range rover to see Kai & NYA! in the front seats! I jumped in the back seat to see Cole and Zane already there. 

"Hey guys" I greeted as I closed the car door and Nya turned around to face me, "Hi Nya." 

She smiled at me, "Hey Jay I'm glad your coming to the game today" She said. I noticed that she was already in her cheer uniform which was a two piece and you could see her tummy. She had on a red, white, and black long sleeve cheer crop top and a matching skirt to go with it.
