Chapter Six: Cheer Time

***

Deliah's POV.

Thursday rolls by faster than expected. It was finally the big day. The first official football match of the year and Damon couldn't shut up about it. We were currently at my house and it was 4pm, 3 hours before the match.

"And we have this awesome new game plan where-"

"Damon. Why do you even bother explaining the game plans to me when you know I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about?"

"Because I love football. I love talking. I love game plans. And I love you. So you can imagine how much I love talking about football game plans with you " he says in a childish way before making his way to my closet.

"You have to get ready. I'm thinking shorty shorts with a tube top." He suggests wiggling his eyebrows

"I'm thinking pair of jeans and a hoodie, " I say taking out a pair of ripped, black jeans and a red hoodie.

"Hey! That's my hoodie!" He protests as he picks it up and scans it.

"Correction. It was your hoodie, it's mine now." I smile and grab the clothes then make my way to the bathroom. Once I'm dressed I quickly fix my hair and then enter my room again.

"Can we go now, grandma?"

"Yes, grandpa. We can go now."

We go downstairs and I lock the front door on my way out.

"This is going to be an epic game. I can feel it." He says as he drives off.

And an epic game it was. There was about 10 minutes of the game left and we were ahead 35-14. I don't really understand football but what I do know is when to cheer.

CheerTime:

1. When a player from our team runs a long distance with the ball without being tackled.

2. When a player from our team carries the ball and dodges a tackle.

3. When a player  from our team  tackles a player carrying the ball from the other team .

4. When other kids from my school cheer.

Soo yeah, I'm very educated in the sport called football.

I watch the game with intensity and jump up to cheer when Damon tackles a player from the other team and passes the ball to Keanu. He runs across the field, dodging tackles, and then scores. The crowd goes wild, including me.

For the rest of the game there's just a lot of tackling and running and neither one of the teams scored again.
When the buzzer went off our whole school jumped up and cheered. We won. I skipped down the bleachers and ran onto the field into Damon's arms. He picked me up and spun me around.

When he let me go I saw Keanu looking at us from the corner of my eye. He shook his head and started cheering with the rest of the school.

After every game there is either a party or everyone stays behind on the field, playing music loudly from their cars and drinking alcohol. Tonight they stuck with the field drinking.

The music was loud, there was a small bonfire and the field lights were on. Me and Damon sat on the hood of his car just chatting and playing truth or dare while he had a drink and I drank an energy drink called Death which I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to.

"I dare you to....kiss the ground?" I dare him making him laugh.

"Seriously? That's all you could come up with? Fine." He jumps off the hood of the car, bends down, kisses the grown and holds it for 5 seconds.

"Okayy,mister Groundkisser. Dare me"

"I dare you toooo... Ask Keanu for his jersey." He says wiggling his eyebrows.

"Haha very funny. Come on, what's my dare?"

"That is your dare."

"You can't be serious-"

"I am." He jumps off the hood and drags me towards the car that's playing the music. I stop him when we're two feet away.

"Are you saying you're a coward? Did I raise a coward? I thought you were a daredevil! A macho-woman! A-"

"Fine!" I cut him off. "I'll put myself through the embarrassment because everyone knows that no girl has ever wore his jersey before." I sigh and follow Damon to him.

"Yo Damon. That last tackle you made was amazing." Some random football player says.

"I know. I know. Worship me, I love it" Damon says making me laugh.

I catch Keanu looking at me and feel Damon nudge me forward.

"Heyy, Collins. I wanted to ask you something. Can I borrow your jersey and like, wear it? Please? Oh no? Thanks. See ya." I say in one breath then turn to Damon. "Done. Lets go now." But he didn't react, he was too busy gawking at something and when I turned to see what he was looking at, I couldn't believe my eyes. Keanu was taking his jersey off and now stood in front of me shirtless.

"Here you go, darling." He said stretching his hand out for me to take but I didn't react. I was speachless, and not just because of his abs.

"You're suppose to take it," he says laughing and taking my hand placing the jersey in it. "So? Are you going to wear it or not?"

"Ummm..."

"Are you wearing anything underneath?" Damon asks me.

"Even if I was, I still wouldn't have changed infront of you. I'll be right back." I speed walk to the bathroom passing numerous drunk teenagers and close the door when I enter. I stand in the mirror and stare at my reflection.

That did not just happen. Did it?

I stare at the jersey in my hand like it would dissapear any moment. Then I start smiling like a freak untill my cheeks hurt.

Okay, dial down the crazy, Dee, but I couldn't . Keanu Collins gave me his precious jersey.

I quickly take of Damon's hoodie and put on Keanu's jersey. It's super comfortable and reaches about mid-thigh. I hold the jersey close to my body and inhale his scent. How the fudge did he play in this thing and manage to make it smell so heavenly?

I take out my phone and take about 25 pictures of me in it. I mean, why have a Huawei P20 Pro if you don't put the camera to good use?

After the quick photo session I look at my reflection again. I stare at the number on my back.
Number 7.

I grab my hoodie, correction, Damon's hoodie, and walk out of the bathroom and make my way to the guys.

"Woah. Sexy" Keanu comments when I get to them. I reply by punching his arm. "Ouch. Sexy and feisty."

How am I supposed to not blush when my crush makes comments like that.

"Aww. Your blushing," He states and I move away from him and stand beside Damon who's now telling a story about a bear attack.

"And the claw was this big!" He says stretching his hand out like a little kid.

I was listening to Damon's very interesting, very weird story when all of a sudden someone grabbed my arm and dragged me away.

I turned to see Keanu leading me towards the woody tree part of the field. We came to a halt infront of a big oak tree away from prying eyes.

"Is this the part where you kill me?" I ask and cross my arms infront of my chest.

He pushed me against the tree and leaned in. "Actually, I have something else in mind."
