But I'm a jock and you're a cheerleader

Chapter 2. The cheer and the Jacket

Gabe POV

"Fuck, what am I going to do, What will Sammoose say, Fuck Fuck Fuck" I say, dying inside.

"Calm down Gabby, he won't care, you'll be fine. just focus on the cheering and I'm sure no one will notice" Meg says, trying to be reassuring.

"What about when I have to do that backflip and double hand spring and then all eyes are on me?"

"Don't worry, Sam, won't care. He wanted you to wear it" Ruby says while her and Meg jump off of my shoulders and begin cartwheeling, signaling me to start my part.

"Here goes nothing" I say even though I feel like curling up in a corner and dying.

I ran through the middle of the field with cheerleaders on both sides of me. Then, I do a cartwheel and flipped it into a back bend and walked until I got to the front of the bleachers. Then I did a backflip into a double handspring and then, doing a front flip so I was facing the football player's bench and the bleachers. I looked out into the crowd nervously, awaiting what they thought.

Instantly I recognized the first person to start cheering.

Sam.

"Woohoo go Gabe" Sam yelled as he claps.

Then Cassie and Dean-o joined in followed by everyone else.

"Okay idjits, good job now time for the rest of the game" Bobby said as we went to sit back in the bleachers but not before Sam stopped me.

"You were great, Gabe" Sam said causing me to blush.

"Thanks Sammoose, you were too"

Just as Sam was about to walk down the stairs he said.

"By the way nice Jacket, it looks better on you" Sam says as he smirked and walked away

"Woah, did you hear that Gabby" Meg says hitting my arm as we walk up to where we were sitting before.

"Yeah but that doesn't mean anything Meg" I say looking down.

"Oh really? dude, he was practically drooling over you during that cheer" Dean-o says, as we sit back down.

"He totally was" Cassie chimes in.

"Okay okay, how about we stop meddling with my love life and actually watch the game" I say looking at the feild.

"That wouldn't be as much fun as this is" Ruby pipes in.

"Gee, thanks"

We watched the game for a while until Lisa decided to come talk to us.

"Hey" Lisa says, with her 'fake' sweet tone.

"Hey bitch, what do you want?" Meg says, sassing Lisa.

"I just wanted to apologise" Lisa says, looking suspicious

"Why?"

"Because I was annoyed and jealous and I took it out on you, and I'm sorry" Lisa says looking at her feet.

"look I know we obviously won't be bff's but I really am sorry, and I hope you and Sam are happy together"

"We're not-"

But before I could finish, lisa walks away.

Sam POV

I hear Benny yell "hut, hut" before I was off running down the feild with the ball and scoring a touchdown. But I couldn't focus on the game. My mind kept wandering to a short boy with Whiskey colored eyes.

Ugh.. I've got it so bad. What am I going to do? Would he even feel the same? It's getting harder and harder to hide. It's not that I'm hiding being gay, like my brother Dean did with being bi. I know I'm gay but I don't know if Gabe is. Ugh. feelings are complicated.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when Ellen yelled.

"Huddle up everyone"

"Sam you seem distracted is everything okay?" Ellen asks, see, ellen is our aunt; she married our uncle Bobby, and Bobby practically raised us.

"Yeah coach, I'm fine"

"It's because he has it bad for a certain cheerleader" Benny says, hitting my arm jokingly.

Before I knew it everyone on the team was yelling.

"Yeah he does"

"Maybe I do" I said.

With that everyone on the team was laughing and patting me on the back and saying.

"I knew it"

"Ha. you owe me 20 bucks"

"Wait, so you all know who it is?" I ask.

"Well Sam, it's pretty obvious" a boy on the team named Ash says.

"It really is" Benny pipes in.

"Oh shut it Benny, we all know you have it bad for the boys cousin Balthazar"

"Guilty as charged, well actually, we're together now" Benny says.

After that everyone on the team went a little nuts.

"You owe me 40 bucks"

"You cheated"

"How did I cheat"

"I don't know, you just did"

"Shut up Ash, that's stupid"

"whatever Garth, go make out with Kevin...."

"Okay boys, get out there and win this game so we can play in the championships this Saturday, then relax at prom " Ellen says as we head back into Positions.

"Yes ma'am" The whole team screams

There's only 2 minutes left on the clock. I'm trying to focus but my mind keeps wandering.

God brain, can't you just let me focus. Never, embrace the gay. I will later, but now I need to focus on winning the game. Fine. Thank you.

"5, 15, 25, Hut, hut" Benny yelled as the team took off

Benny passed the ball to Ash. Then Ash passed it to Azazel who was reluctant but passed it to me. And right before the buzzer buzzed I ran it to the redzone and scored the winning touchdown.

The crowd went crazy and all the cheerleaders ran on the feild to congratulate the players. But there was only one cheerleader I actually cared about

Gabriel.

I ran through the crowd to find him beside Meg and Ruby. I ran up to him and gave him a big hug.

"You did it Sammoose, We're going to the playoffs" Gabe said excitedly.

"Great job, Sam" Meg and Ruby say running up to Gabe and I.

"Oh I almost forgot, here" Gabe says as he takes off my necklace and jacket.

"I'm keeping the necklace but the jacket looks good on you, so you can keep it for now"

"I- um, thanks Sammoose" Gabe stutters out.

God he's so cute

"No problem, now let's go"

"Where are we going?" Gabe asks curiously

"I don't know yet."

"How about you come to mine and Ruby's after party" Meg says as Cas and Dean come up to us.

"Hey Sam you did great, Cas and I are going to head out now, but I'll see you later" Dean says.

"I'm guessing I'm not welcome in my house tonight"

"Probably not, but you can always stay at my house tonight. After Meg's cast party, or we can stay there" Gabe says, laughing.

"Okay, what could go wrong?"

Hey people it's me again
