Choosing You

Chapter 4 💃🏼

Elise Layton 👠

The next few days in school were quite uneventful. I went to my classes, ate lunch with Daisy outside and avoided Kai and Blake like the plague.

Things were going great up until Friday afternoon. I had gym class, which left me hot and sweaty (gross). So I took a shower in school, only to find my clothes missing afterwards. Conveniently however, someone had replaced them with a school football Jersey and short black cheerleading skirt.

The biggest issue I have with my new attire is the fact that the football Jersey has a huge number '1' on it, with the surname 'Coleman' in capital text across the back.

When I get my hands on that boy I'm going to strangle him to death.

I get changed, having no other choice and have to knot the shirt at the front because it's too long. I leave the changing room on a mission to find Blake and get my clothes back.

As I'm walking through the school buildings I notice there are a lot of students still here. It's strange considering everyone should have left to go home by now.

As I pass people I hear gasps and whispering. There are girls who're scowling at me and a few that let out little excited squeals.

What the hell is going on? These people are so odd.

I know if I'm going to find Blake anywhere, it'll probably be at the after school football practice. I make my way to the football field at the back of the school and the crowds of students walking in the same direction make something in my mind click.

It's a bloody game day, isn't it? I smack myself in the face with my palm and it actually stings. Ouch!

I can't believe I fell for this. He played me like a damn fiddle. I growl loudly to myself and attract even more unwanted attention.

I storm towards the field in a rage and i'm suddenly pulled to a complete stop by my arm. Kai is stood in front of me with a face that could make the Incredible Hulk shake in fear.

"What the actual fu*k are you wearing?"

He has three other guys with him and I guess they must be his friends Vince, Tatum and Alex. One of them moves around me, looks at the back of my Jersey and comes back wincing at Kai.

"Yeah, I know!" He shouts at him and the guy puts his hands up, "Hey, I didn't say a word." He states and takes a step back.

"So you're with Coleman?!" Kai shouts, angrily.

"No. I'm not with Blake, I'm not with you, I'm not with anyone and I'll have my arm back, thank you." I pull my arm out of his grasp and slam it down by my side.

"And stop doing that thing where you make my skin tingle with your hands!" I demand, ready to explode.

The guy who checked my jersey begins to snicker and a smile spreads across Kai's face.

"Ugh! You're infuriating!" I turn on my heel and continue towards the field.

"I knew you could feel the spark baby!" I hear Kai holler in the background.

He's another one on my hit list but right now I have my eye on a tall, blond, idiot Adonis named Blake Coleman.

I make my way into the seated stadium area and there are people everywhere. The players are making their way onto the field, the cheerleaders are jumping around like lunatics at the side of the stands and people are cheering them on.

I scan the field and spot Blake in his football gear towards the centre. He looks into the stands and our eyes lock. He puts his fingers up to his eyes through his helmet and points them back towards me. I think he's trying to say he sees me. He's such a weirdo. I scowl in response and take a seat in one of the empty chairs, huffing and crossing my arms. I can't exactly confront him during the game, so I'll have to stay and confront him once it's over.
