Fatal Redemption | J.J.K.

XXXIX

JUNGKOOK;
"Go get some water!" Coach Yoast yelled as we all ran to the water stands. I took my helmet off and grabbed a squeeze bottle.

I lifted it up and poured water in my mouth. I drank some and looked towards the cross country team where I spotted Paige.

She seemed more happy that she was finally running after her short resting period. Lucas caught up then took the bottle from me and gulped down the water as it sprayed in his mouth viciously.

I didn't really pay attention but I heard the sound. My gaze was secured on Paige's smile.

I smiled, I loved seeing her happy.

Lucas stopped drinking water and looked at me then to where I was looking at.

"Why are you staring at my sister?" He asked as I quickly looked at him.

"I w-wasn't" I said and cursed at myself for stuttering.

"Sure you weren't" he rolled his eyes with a smirk forming on his face. That's the last thing I wanted him to know, that I had the biggest crush on his twin sister.

I also didn't want him to think that I was using him to get through to her, but he should know that I met her before him.

"Sprinting time!" Yoast yelled out in an amusing tone, he loved to see us tired and gasping for air as our life depended on it.

I made my way to the starting line with Lucas, putting my helmet to the side.

"I'll tell you what" he started as we stood at the line and I looked at him in amusement, I thought he'd hate me.

"I'll let you date my little sister with my permission... if you beat me"

Little? He was only two minutes older than her.

I smirked, "Deal" I reached my hand out as he gripped it and we shook hands like men.

I never intended on using Paige as a trophy or a prize, but I have longed to see shock written all over Lucas' face when I beat him.

"Deal" he confirmed as I stood in my stance, almost copying Paige's regular movements.

This was going to be easy. I was the fastest one on the team, faster than my brothers and naturally fast when I was younger, but with my vampire abilities I would be a tad faster.

"First group, on your mark..." Yoast started.

"I'm gonna smoke your butt, man" Lucas smiled and joined me on my left side in stance as well, I smiled at his goofiness.

One of the things I noticed that Paige and Lucas didn't have in common was that he was way more competitive.

"Get set..."

"Oh you think so?" I asked with an evil grin.

"I know so, your butts getting smoked" Lucas smirked.

"Go!"

Yoast blew his whistle loudly as I sprinted past everyone, I ran down the field and touched the white line on the end zone before turning around and sprinting back past the starting line.

I waited on Lucas as he passed the line after me a few seconds later, he leaned down trying to catch his breath.

"Looks like I win" I smirked as he rolled his eyes.

"Yeah yeah whatever," he stood up straightening his posture still trying to catch his breath.

"I was still going to let you date her no matter if I lost or not" he said as I smiled.

He cares for her happiness more than anything in the world, I wish I had their bond.

"I see the way she looks at you, she definitely likes you" he added as I looked at him curiously,

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Don't you see the way her face lights up when she sees you?" He asks as I honestly shook my head.

She looks at me like that?

"Bro" Lucas said in disbelief and let out a forced chuckle. Then stopped to look at me, "You really don't huh?"

"I figured she does that to everyone" I said as he chuckled, this time for real.

"She talks about you like you put the stars in the sky" he said as we both looked at her as she was laughing her heart off at Xavier who laid on the floor.

I smiled, he really pays attention to her.

"She looks at you like that too" he added as I looked at him in shock.

She actually looks at me differently, and I'm barely noticing now? What the hell is wrong with me?!

We looked towards Paige again as she leaned down and helped her best friend up, I noticed that Lucas smiled at the sight of them.

"Let's go!" Gavin yelled as we both rolled our eyes.

Lucas turned towards me and put his hand on my shoulder, "Just don't pull a Gavin and we'll all be fine" he added as I nodded and he left.

I stopped mid-walk and gave him a confused look,

A Gavin? What does that mean?

I shook my head and caught up with rest of the team, practice was nearing to an end.

"Alright gentleman, circle up, lets go" Yoast shouted out as we circled around him.

"Before we all head out to go home and rest for tomorrow's game it's now the moment you've all been waiting for" Yoast spoke as we clapped.

"We counted all your votes and the coaches weighed in. So, your captain for this years football season is..." Yoast trailed off as I looked around.

"Jungkook Jeon!" Yoast shouted and pointed at me.

I lifted up my head slowly in shock, I had no idea that I was elected or even thought of throughout the voting process.

My vote was for Lucas, everyone cheered and clapped as I met Gavin's mad gaze. His jaw was clenched as he stared daggers at me.

"C'mon Jungkook, come say a few words"

I walked up to the middle of the crowd and looked around.

"Wow, this is an absolute honor" I gulped, I didn't know what to say.

"I can't wait for the upcoming games and being able to lead this team to victory" Everyone nodded and clapped.

"I'll assure you right now that we will win state this year" I said as they all cheered louder than before.

"Who are we?!" I shouted.

"Silverton" They shouted and ran in as we shouted our 'war' cry. I smiled, I couldn't ask for a better team.

"Alright, alright. Go home get some rest and be ready for tomorrow" Yoast said as everyone went their own ways.

I stopped and saw Gavin, he still seemed pissed as he walked after coach and I watched.

"Coach! You know I won that vote, everyone voted for me" He whined to the coach.

"This wasn't just about the votes" Yoast sighed and grabbed his stuff.

Gavin looked at me then clenched his jaw, "This isn't fair" he said then walked off.

I turned and met up with Lucas,

"Good job" he smiled as I did too, instantly forgetting about what just happened.
