Before the Game

Chapter 1

Jolie

Today was my first day at Lawton High School.. I was scared not even gonna lie, school had already started for them so I was literally stepping in the middle of everything. I grabbed my lunch and headed out the door so my Nonna could drive me to school. Plus I wanted to be a bit early. 

"Bye Nonna. I love you." I said, grabbing my lunch and my backpack. I closed her passenger door and walked right into the main hall. Everyone was standing around surrounded by their friends. I had decided I was gonna go straight for my locker, thankfully we had it established already. When I got there I put the combination in and unlocked it throwing what needs to be in there Closing it I noticed this cute boy standing next to me at his locker.

"You must be new.. I'm Easton Montgomery." I smiled

"Jolie Higgens." His eyes widened big as I said my name.. Well shit so much for me going unnoticed.

"Higgens. That sounds familiar. Are you related to the best quarterback this school has ever had.... Brady Higgens.." My cheeks felt like they were going red. I could feel them getting hot.

"Yeah He's my dad.." Those green eyes he had and the smile he kept flashing my way were slowly gonna be the death of me. It was only the first day I could feel myself slowly start to have a crush on him. Damnnit Jolie it was the first day.

"Wow. Come with me I'm gonna introduce you to my friends.. They are really nice. We all play football together." I followed him, still holding my schedule in my hand and my lunchkit

"This is Jolie Higgens. She's new here. That's Baylor, Luke and Davis." I smiled at all them. They all shot me a smile which made me feel welcome.

It looked as if Davis hated the attention which I honestly don't blame him. I would too but he is definitely in the wrong friend group..

"Easton, I need to get to my first class I don't wanna be late." He nodded his head before helping himself to my schedule.

"We have first, third and seventh hour together. Here I'll walk with you Jolie.. See you later guys." I saw him look back at his friends before we began walking.

"I need to go use the restroom I will see you there. Don't wait up on me." He walked away from me as I turned into the bathroom which was full of girls doing their makeup and fixing their hair.. I wasn't like that I mean I put makeup on today and dressed nicely but other days I'm going makeup free. I stepped into the stall and pulled my phone out.

J: Apparently you're famous in this small town Dad.

D: Ha did you ask someone about me?

J: NO.  I just said my name and the boy freaked out..

D: Oh jeez.. Well honey I hope to hear all about it later but I have to go back to work love you kid.

I hated when conversations with my dad ended as fast as they started. I grabbed my bag and walked out of the stall towards the class I had first hour. Thank you that the girls didn't try telling me anything I did get rude looks as I walked in there but it's okay..

By the time I got in there, Easton was sitting next to his friends and it looked as if there was a seat being saved for me. How nice. Thankfully cause there were no other open seats.

I sat down and grabbed my notebook out

"Jolie why did you move here?"

"Well currently I'm staying with my Nonna until my family moves in from Tuscaloosa."
He smiled.

"Wow." He said

During lunch which Easton invited me to sit with him and his friends.
A girl came up and sat next to Luke. I assumed his girlfriend or something. I smiled at her so I could be nice but she shot me a rude look.
