They introduce me to the girls, Sunny, Mackenzie and Rocky

An- Jake we told coach that you play football

An- think again

Anthony gets punched in the shoulder by rocky

M- *smiles* y'all are so annoying
K- and your not

Everyone is like a kid it's actually really funny. I'm also guessing Peter and sunny are together. Anthony and rocky are. Kade and Mackenzie are too. I go to Erika's ear to whisper and the others talk.

J- *smiles* and i thought you were annoying

She taps my balls and I bend over and stop. i did deserve it and it is really funny. I put my hand over my balls and I see Erika's shoes in front of me. Her hand goes on the back of my head and one on my back.

P- hey look I wasn't to one getting hit in the nuts.
S- your lucky

I stand up straight and smile at Erika.

J- I won't say anything else
E- that's what I thought

The bell rings and I go to my next class after saying goodbye to everyone and going to my locker. I sit in class till I get told to go down to the coaches office. Once I find it I knock on the door and he looks up to me.

?- Jake?
J- yeah
?- I'm mr. westmen but everyone calls me Luke

I shake his hand and I sit at his desk and I put my books on the other chair

L- so I heard from peter kade and tony that you play football
J- I don't actually
L- really? I'm really surprised
J- why
L- because I can see in that shirt that your muscles are popping out of it
J- *smiles*
L- why haven't you played played before
J- um...
L- if you don't want to say that's fine
J- no it's just it was always just me and my mom and we didn't have the best living situation and I've always worked so I had no time. Then my um mom passed away about two months ago
L- I'm really sorry
L- how did you end up coming here
J- my girlfriend is here and she wanted me to come here because at my other school it wasn't the best experience
L- girlfriend?

J- it does she's really a dream girl
L- well let's get back in track *smiles* well I think even though you haven't play you would be a great kid for the spot.
J- you think
L- you got the muscles and I can tell you have the heart
J- thanks

The bell rings but Jake stays

L- do you want to do this
J- yeah I'll do it
L- great. The first thing we need to do is get your body get used to getting hit come to practice on Monday after school and I'll introduce you to the guys and you can watch and then get into the next one
J- sounds perfect
L- I'll see you around
J- yeah you too

We both get up and shake hands. I grab my books and as soon as I leave the doorway I see Erika standing near the door.

J- hey baby
E- hey bubs
J- how did you know I was here
E- the boys

We get to my locker and I grab my bag and put my book in it. We go to Erika's and do the same. We walk outside going to her car

J- you staying over again right?
E- you want me to
J- yeah
E- then I will

We get in the car and drive to mine. We get upstairs and I open the door. Archie comes running towards us. I let erika go in in first and then I go in, shutting the door behind me. Archie runs off into my room and we drop our bags near the door. Erika turns around and comes closer to me

E- *smiles* Dream girl?

I smile and I feel myself go red.

J- *smiles* you heard that
E- I did

I run my hands threw my hair. She smiles at me and then grabs her bag and goes into my room. I grab a drink and grab my bag going into my room. I put my bag on the ground and I go to the window to see the ground covered in snow. I turn around and go sit on the bed with my back on the wall beside Erika.

E- did you really like today
J- yeah
E- your not just saying it bec-
J- rik I liked it I promise chill *smiles*
E- I just want to make sure

I watch the snow fall as Erika goes on her phone. Archie comes running in and lays on my lap and I pet him. I look over at erika and smile at her as she texts some people

E- *smiles* what
J- *chuckles* nothing
E- I don't believe that
J- well you should

Archie jumps off the bed and leaves. Erika sits on my lap and rubs my shoulders. I put my hands on her back

E- okay just listen
J- listening
E- shit I'm scared
J- k now I'm scared because you're never scared to ask me anything
E- ...do you want to come live with me
J- don't you think that's not a good idea?
E- okay yeah sure

She tries to get off of me but I pull her back
