"Asher what the hell is your problem!?" Billy asked while yelling, "Who do you think you are!?" "Coach-,"Asher said softly, but Billy interrupted him.

"No,"Billy said, "You don't get to speak this time." Asher was about to say something, but Billy interrupted him again. "This time,"Billy said, "You do the listening. I do the talking." "Yes sir,"Asher said softly.

*On the field*

You and Jordan were both at a tie. 28-28. "JJ,"You said while walking over to him, "Make this one a blue code." JJ looked at you. "Are you sure?" JJ asked. "Yes, why?" You asked.

"No one's ever done a blue code before,"JJ said, "Coach told us to never attempt one, because of the risk." You grabbed JJ by his jersey. "Blue. Code,"You said. JJ put his hands up in the air. "Yes ma"am,"JJ said scaredly.

You walked up behind Max. "BC, 48!" You yelled, "Set...Hike!" Max passed you the ball, and you backed up a little. Justin was wide open, so you threw it to him.

Justin caught the ball, and threw the ball back to you. "Are you sure you wanna do this!?" JJ asked while running next to you. You looked at him quickly. "Do it!" You yelled.

JJ ran after you, and side tackled you. You threw the ball into the air, JJ caught it, and ran into the end zone. You stood up from the ground. You took off your helmet, and smiled.

"Ok, what the hell was that?" Jordan asked angrily. "Jordan don't,"You said. Jordan walked over to you. "You don't ever do that again,"Jordan said angrily. "Do what?" You asked, "Win for my team?"

"No,"Jordan said, "Attempting a blue code." "I'm fine,"You said. "Y/n, a Blue code is not a good play to call,"Jordan said, "You could've gotten hurt."

"Ok Jordan?"You asked angrily, "Are you talking to me as a football player or as my boyfriend?" "As your boyfriend,"Jordan said angrily, "I don't want you to attempt a blue code ever again."

You walked over to Jordan. "You may be my boyfriend Jordan Baker,"You said angrily, "But on that field. You are my teammate. From now on, we keep our relationship off the field."

You grabbed your things, and you walked out of the locker room.

*In the locker room*

"Jordan, I didn't mean to hit her that hard,"JJ said. Jordan looked at JJ. "I have a question,"Jordan said, "For everybody."

Everyone looked at Jordan. "Why is her being on the team such a bad thing?" Jordan asked, "I mean, half of you won't play with her. Half of you barely pretend that she exist. Come on guys, what's the deal?"

No one said anything. Jordan sighed. "If you think she should leave," Jordan said, "Raise your hand." 3-5 guys raised their hands. Jordan smiled. "If you think she should stay,"Jordan said, "Raise your hand."

Everyone raised their hand, besides the 3-5 guys who voted you off. "Flip a coin,"JJ suggested, "If tails...she stays. If heads...she goes."

Jordan flipped a coin, picked it up, and turned it over. "Tails,"Jordan said. Jordan went to go take a shower, and he got dressed. "Asher,"Billy said. "Yeah Coach?" Asher asked.

"You're off the team,"Billy said, "Until I say so." Asher nodded, and went to shower. Jordan grabbed his bag, and walked outside. You were sitting on the bench outside.

"I thought you went home,"Jordan said. You didn't bother looking at him. "I thought you stopped caring,"You said. Jordan sat next to you. "I'm sorry,"Jordan said.

"You don't need to be,"You said. "Y/n,"Jordan said, "We flipped a coin. If it landed on tails, you could stay. If it landed on heads, you leave." You looked at Jordan.

"It landed on tails?" You asked. Jordan nodded. "Jordan, be honest,"You said. "About what?" Jordan asked. "Do you want me to stay?" You asked.

"Yes,"Jordan said, "I do." You nodded. You both walked to Jordan's car. You put your things in the trunk, and got in the car.

Jordan drove back to his house, and you got out of the car. You walked inside the house. "Thanks Jordan,"You said. "For what?" Jordan asked. "Being an asshole,"You said.

Jordan chuckled a little. "Wow,"Jordan said. Olivia walked into the living room. "I call one play,"You said, "One. And you blow up at me." "Because I care about your safety,"Jordan said.

"Am I missing something here?" Olivia asked. "I called a blue code, he got pissed, and here we are,"You said. "Wait, you called a what?" Olivia asked. "A blue code,"You said.

"Speak English,"Olivia said. "A blue code is when you pass the ball to a teammate, they pass it back, and then your other teammate basically runs your over,"Jordan said. Olivia looked at you.

"Woah,"Olivia said. "I know,"You said. "She called a play Jordan,"Olivia said, "You can't be mad at her." Jordan looked at you. "Maybe that coin should've landed on heads,"Jordan said.

"So you want me to leave now?" You asked. Jordan nodded a little. "Yeah,"Jordan said, "For now." You looked at Olivia. "I'll take you home,"Olivia said. You walked outside.

Olivia looked at Jordan. "Fix her,"Olivia said, "Before It's too late." Jordan nodded, and Olivia took you home.
