"Students of Red River High!" A bubbly cheer leader named Rachel says. "Lets welcome our football players onto the floor!" Everyone goes crazy as the footballs players and I make our way to the center of the gym. It feels like it wasn't too long ago when I first walked out onto the court with the football players, and I felt to incredibly nervous! Now I'm a senior and I feel nothing but excitement now! This will be the last pep assembly I ever do with these guys, and I just feel so happy that Kyle talked coach into letting me do this four years ago.
Rachel and a few other cheerleaders say some things about how if we win or lose we are still a family and all that matters is that we stick together. They also add in that we will probably win anyways. Rachel takes the microphone from one of the girls and smiles at me as she walks over and hands me the microphone. I go and stand in front of the team. I usually just wing this so lets get this started!
"Hey Everyone! Are we ready to win tonight?" I shout into the microphone and bounce. A loud roar erupts from the stands. I can just feel the excitement and school spirit in the air.
"What was that? I cant hear you!" The football players and I cup our ears. " I mean how are our boys supposed to lead us to victory if this is as loud as we are going to be at the game tonight. Come on lets show them some appreciation!" An even louder roar erupts, everyone is going crazy now!
"There we are! Alright, lets me introduce the team members that are going to lead us to victory!" I walk towards the beginning of the line which is where Kyle is standing smiling at the crowd.
"First off, we have Kyle Curtis!" I look at Kyle who is just beaming out at the crowd. I probably look the same. Everyone knows whats about to happen. Mr. Stone walks over to me and I hand him the mic.
"Ready?" Kyle asks me with a familiar spark in his eye. I feel the excitement bubble up inside of me like I'm about to explode.
"As always!" I reply bouncing on my feet. We begin our little tradition and we hear yells and whoops from the stands. Now the big finish. The mirroring. Everyone goes crazy! Mr. Stone hands the mic back to me.
"Thank you everyone!" I beam at the student body. "Okay, now lets move on. Now we have Zach Stevens!" Zach looks at me and steps forwards. He wraps an arm around me and pulls me into his side. He waves at the audience with his other. He grabs the microphone out of my hand.
"Lets hear it for the gorgeous Kyla, who has gotten us all pumped up for the big game for the past four years! For us senior footballers, it means a lot to have her with us every year! Lets give some recognition!" I feel my face blush as I try to cover my face and turn away from the crowd. Zach grabs my hand away from my face and kisses it. If my face wasn't red before, then I'm sure it is definitely the color of a tomato. I hear awes come from the audience. "Isn't she cute ladies and gentlemen!"
I snatch the microphone from him, and push him back into the line up. Kyle elbows him in the side and rolls his eyes at him. Zach just lets out a huge laugh and shoulder bumps Kyle back.
"Moving on!" I take a couple of steps until I'm in front of the the next guy, and this goes on for about twenty more guys.
We finally get to the last team mate.
"And last but definitely not least! Jordan Peter!" The last guy smiles at me and turns to wave at the crowd. Well that took awhile, but I wouldn't trade getting the opportunity to do this for anything! I only had to introduce the varsity team, but there are a lot on varsity.
I hand the microphone to Coach Stone and go to stand beside my brother who smiles and gives me a side hug.
"Who is ready for tonight!" The gym erupts with whoops and applause. "I'm looking forward to seeing each an everyone of you at the game wearing our colors! Let's celebrate tonight! Win or lose! ITS ALWAYS A GREAT DAY TO BE APART OF THE RED RIVER FAMILY!" Everyone starts screaming and yelling the school anthem. I yell and jump on along with them. The football players start fist bumping and chest bumping, I can't help but laugh with them.
All of a sudden the lights turn off and its pitch black. I hear the sounds of gasps and footsteps. I feel hands wrap around my waist and my legs lift off the ground. I try to scream but feel a hand wrap around my mouth.
"Deer Creek Rules!" I feel the chest behind me rumble, and we start to walk away. Well he and whoever is with him starts to walk away while i'm being carried out.
Oh. Freaking. Great.
