Them Grier Boyz

Chp.4

(Bridget’s POV)

It was Saturday the day of the soccer game. I dressed in my Houston dynamo jersey and my SnapBack hat. I looked in the mirror to check my reflection to see if I looked presentable. "Whoa is someone going to watch the game?" Jake asked. "I'm actually going to the game" I replied. I felt jittery again and couldn't help but smile.

"With who?" Jake asked obviously jealous. "Hayes" I said quickly hoping he wouldn't care. My wish was granted when Jake shrugged his shoulders and walked off. Once I finished getting ready I raced downstairs so I could get something to eat before the game. "Here is some money just in case you need it" my grandmother said as she handed me $100. "I can't take this grandma it's too much" I said trying to give her back the money.

She wasn't listening to me all she said was "have fun" and walked away. Once I finished eating I ran over to the Grier's house so I could hang out with Hayes before the game. He was decked out in his Rail hawks jersey and hat. "You ready?" He asked.

I nodded my head vigorously and chatted with Hayes for a little while. Nash came running down the stairs in a Vans t-shirt and shorts. "You guys ready for the game?" he asked as the twirled the keys around his finger.

“Are you going to the game with us?” Hayes asked. “Yea that’s why I have the keys” Nash said coldly. I stood there awkwardly watching them have a stare down. “Well then let’s go” Nash said. He jumped down the stairs and headed out the door. Hayes rolled his eyes and escorted me out their house.

Hayes hopped in the back and I followed. “Oh Bridget you’re gonna have to sit in the front” Nash said. “And why is that?” Hayes asked angrily. “Cause I’m……. dropping some stuff off after the game for school” Nash retorted. He ran back into the house and grabbed half full trash bags and stuck them on the spot next to Hayes.

“I’ll sit in the back Hayes I really don’t mind” I said. “No you’re a guest” Nash said. He pulled me into the front seat and ran to the driver’s side. I buckled myself in and sat there awkwardly picking at the frays in my jeans. “What do you want to listen to?” Nash asked. “I don’t care. Hayes?” I asked.

I looked in the back and saw Hayes sitting alone. “Hey let’s listen to the soundtrack you put on my phone” he suggested. I grinned widely and nodded my head. I couldn’t believe that Hayes remembered that much less liked the soundtrack. It had all my favorite artists especially Nicki Minaj and Jason Derulo.

I plugged in his phone and cranked up the music. ‘Anaconda’ by Nicki came on and I grinned at Hayes. “My Anaconda don’t. My anaconda don’t My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns hun” we sang. Nash looked over at me and smiled. Nash tried to sing the song but he kept messing up. He obviously didn't know the song, but i was pleased that he tried.

Once we got to the stadium my stomach got butterflies. Every time I go to a game my stomach always does this. Nash pulled out the tickets and got out the car. I hopped out and Hayes came around to my side. He put his arm around my shoulder and said “my team is gonna kick your butt”. I laughed and put my arm around his shoulder.

Nash rolled his eyes and walked ahead of us. We walked through the gates and found our seats. I scanned the field from where we were sitting. We were on the sideline in the front row. “Look there’s Beasley” I squealed. “You want to get his autograph?” Hayes asked. “Of course!”

We ran down to see the players. “Beasley” we yelled. He Jogged towards and smiled. “Hey you guys want an autograph?” I nodded my head vigorously. I leaned over the railing and almost fell. “I got you” I heard someone say. He wrapped his arms around my waist tightly as I bent over more so the soccer player could sign my shirt.

“Thanks” I said once he finished. “No problem enjoy the game” Beasley sprinted away and I stood up straight. I turned around and noticed that Nash was still holding me. His bright blue eyes stared at me and I got all warm and fuzzy inside. “Thanks” I said. “No problem” he leaned in close, but I felt so awkward that I escaped from his grasp and walked towards Hayes.

(Nash POV)

Bridget walked off next to Hayes and I couldn’t help but get angry. I cooled off and breathed deeply. “Let’s go back to our seats” I suggested. They followed me back up and sat down. Bridget was in between me and Hayes. I pulled out my phone and texted my best friend Cameron. ‘How do you get a girl to like you?’ I texted. Two minutes later her responded saying ‘Why?’

‘I’m trying to impress a girl, but so far she has shot down all of my moves’ I texted back. The memory of me holding on to Bridget as she slowly bent over. I grinned at the thought and looked over at her. She was talking to Hayes about the game, and she giggled at one of his comments.

I looked at the field and noticed that the game had already started. I didn’t really care for the game. I actually stole my dad’s ticket just so I could be with Bridget. Bridget jumped up and cheered causing me to have a mini heart attack. “I told you Dynamo was going to kick their butts. We already scored a goal and it’s only fifteen minutes into the game.”

Her bangs were pulled back with a clip and now they were all over the place. Cameron texted me and said ‘Find out her interests and take her out on a date’ I laughed and replied ‘did that and we are currently at a soccer game.’ I waited for Cam's response, shaking my leg from anticipation. ‘Then what are you waiting for quit texting me and talk to her'. 

I texted back and said 'hayes and her keep talking'. As i waited for a response i watched the game trying to pick up some of the terms. Bridget watched with a glow in her eyes. I could tell that she loved being here, and she looked so cute in her whole get-up. 

'Dude you're an idiot why is Hayes with you' 

'It's kind of a long story' It really wasn't I just wnated to try and focus on the game more so Bridget didn't think badly of me. 

'Then tell me tom. i want to see that girl that rejected your sorry a**' Cam texted back. 

'tom. is Sunday dumb*ss'

'You now what i mean!!!' 

I laughed at his respoonse and shut my phone off so i wouldn't get distracted from the game.
