"Does Kelley know what you've got planned?" Alex says as she drops me off at the school for my first game

"Nope not at all, that's why you're going to give her my Jersey and makes sure she wears it" I say to her

"You know she's going to refuse and turn the same colour at my car" Alex says referring to her red number

"I know but it's tradition here apparently and there's only one girl I want having my number on her back" I tell Alex

"I just threw up at that, but I'll make sure she wears it" Alex says rolling her eyes

"Thanks Morgan you're the best, I'll see you out there later" I reply smiling and running off towards the locker room

I head to the girls locker room first where Tobin is already there, getting changed herself.

"What's up Tobs, ready for today" I ask my friends getting my gear out my locker

"Pretty nervous not going to lie, everyone here knows me for soccer not football" She says putting on her shoulder pads

"You'll be great I promise" I say patting the number 17 on the back

Once we're all geared up and helmets in hands we walk to the boys locker room where coach is giving his talk.

"We're going to get a lot of looks today, we've got two girls on our team and a lot of people won't like it but we shut them up by winning," Coach tells us all

"we're a team out there, we have each other back no matter what," He says as the room fills with loud cheers.

"get out on that pitch and warm-up," He says patting everyone's shoulders as they leave.

I grab a ball and start throwing it to Serv, trying to warm up my arm for today's game.

"you ready Dan?" Serv asks catching on of my spirals

"can't wait," I say happily as see as he chuckles at my lack of nervousness.

"erm Dan you might want to check in your girl, it seems like Jaelene has seen what's she wearing," Serv says pointing to the crowd where Jaelene seems to be talking to Kelley and not in a friendly way

"pass us a ball," I say to Serv and wait until he throws me it back before watching the pair.

After I've had enough of Jaelene harassing my girl I throw the ball right at her and successfully hit her on the back of the head.

"what the hell! Who threw that!" She screeches out spinning around in her cheerleading uniform to look at all of us

"My bad Jaelene, just warming up my arm, I didn't see you there," I say sarcastically and watch as she scoffs before walking off and leaving Kelley alone finally

I send her a cheeky wink and I can tell from all the way back here that she's most definitely blushing. Just as I'm about to turn back I spot all the girls and Pam walking up to Kelley, the whole team have turned up to watch mine and Tobin's first game.

"yo Tobs, did you know the team where coming?" I shout across the girls pointing to where they are sitting

"no ideas, Chris said she was but that's all I knew" She replies and I just smile to myself happily.

"Guess who's also turned up," Zach says pointing to the stands again.

I spot Lawson and the other two guys that coach kicked off the team when he made me quarterback all giving us daggers from across the field

"ignore them guys, we don't need their sorry asses to win us the game today," I say trying to get my team to forget about them and focus on the game.
