I was sitting down on a plastique chair, in the middle of the stadium benches, half way up so that I was protected by the late afternoon sun.

Some of the rare students that were still around gave me the evil eye as I was still wearing my cheerleading uniform, the one from their rival school.

Kit was down on the field with the rest of his team, passing the test to get into the LKFT.

When I arrived they were in the middle of sprints and followed by endurance.

"Hey! Em!"

I turned and smiled as I saw Sam with Peter and some other boys that I didn't climb up to join me.

"How's it going?" he asked, sitting next to me.

"Great. What about you?"

"Alright. Congrats by the way?"

"For what?"

"I heard you and Kit were official" he jerked his head towards the field.

"Yeah" I blushed and looked down at my homework.

"Hey" Peter greeted, sitting behind with the other boys he was talking to when they arrived.

"Hi Peter."

"Who's this?" his friend asked, looking at my cheer outfit.

"Guys, this is Emily, Kit's girlfriend" Sam introduced.

"And she's from Western High?" the guy asked, a disgusted look on his face.

"Yes" I answered, dislike clear in my voice.

I hated the fact he was talking about me like I wasn't there.

There was an awkward silence and I returned back to my homework while the boys chatted amongst themselves.

A phone ran. It was the rude guy's.

"Hey babe. Yeah, okay. Meet you there in a bit" he hang up "sorry guys, got to go."

"Yeah, run of to mummy" the other guys joked.

"F*ck off."

He picked up his bag before disparaging.

"Hey, sorry 'bout Taylor. He's a d!ck" one of the boy's said "I'm Pierce."

"Nice to meet you" I smiled, shaking his outstretched hand.

"Elliot" the ginger greeted.

"So, how do you know Kit?" Pierce asked.

"We had crossed each other's path a couple of times and then I found out he was my neighbour."

He barked out laughing and Elliot smiled at me. I would suspect he was the quiet, timide one.

"And how long have you two been together?"

"Three weeks, but we've been seeing each other for a bit over a month" I replied.

"Yeah, she's been stealing our man" joked Peter "hardly get time to hang out."

"Well, that's not my fault" I protested "talking about you guys, where's Leo?"

Sam pointed down to a big guy chatting to Kit.

"Passing the test too?"

"Yeah. That's how they met each other, played in the same club as kids."

"Of course I wish he does, but how are you two going to make it work if he gets taken? Where are you going next year?" Pierce asked.

"God, give us a break! School isn't even over yet!" complained Peter.

"I don't know, we haven't really discussed about it yet. But I'll still be at AWH next year."

Pierce and Elliot looked at me, confused.

"I'm a junior" I explained.

They nodded and the conversation went on, light and easy, until the test finished and we headed back down.

"Hey" I grinned like a 5 year old.

"Hello princess."

Kit kissed me swiftly as the guys cheered and whistled.

"See you in a bit, let me take a shower" he said.

I nodded as he ran off towards the locker-room with the rest of his team. I followed the other guys, blushing as they made crude remarks.

We settled outside the building when some of the athletes ran out, bare chest with defined abs, and completely soaked. They were in the middle of a water fight, throwing the full bottles at each other.

Sam somehow received a bottle, his clothes completly drenched. He and Pierce ran inside before coming back out, their mouths full as they spat at each other.

I kept my distances but Sam noticed me hiding, Elliot's body shielding me, and a playful grin spread across his face.

"No" I warned but he started chasing me.

He finally catched me and lifted me up as I tried to wriggle out of his grasp, giggling. He finally lets go, holding me down, as he and Pierce emptied water bottles on me.

"No" I screamed "please, stop" I laughed.

They were finally finished and I was sitting on the floor, soaked, when my boyfriend walked out in clean clothes, his hair still damp from the shower.

"What happened here?!" he asked surprised.

"Oh you know, just a regular water fight" Sam shrugged.

Kit helped me get up, taking in my wet outfit.

"Don't worry" I smiled "I've got my clothes in my bag."

"Okay, well lets get you changed then."

He grabbed my back and took my hand, leading me to the locker-rooms.

"Be safe and try and keep her quiet, we don't want coach barging in!" Pierce shouted to us as he and Sam fell out laughing.

As response Kit just gave them the finger.
