AN: cole ^^

A teasing voice interrupts the sweet moment from the car, "Break it up, lovebirds! Football practice starts in like 5 minutes!" Elijah grinned as he recognized the voice. "Cole! You're back from Paris! Or was it London? Rich people and traveling, can you believe it?" Elijah mocked as he pulled the boy into a hug through the driver-seat window. He laughed, "Hey! None of that now, we don't want my little sister getting jealous, do we?" Kylie just rolled her eyes, good naturedly. "Ugh, boys. Just wait until Julie gets here." Cole's eyes lit up at her name, "Julie? How's she doing? Still pretty and single?" "Yep, and too smart for you!" Kylie teased her brother. They loaded into the car as they continued their conversation. "What, no french girl stole your heart away from Julie? That's dedication there, bro," Elijah commented. Cole smiled sheepishly, "Well there's no one quite like Juliana." Kylie and Elijah laughed and said in sync, "You can say that again!" "Jinx! Knock on shoe!" they shouted together, diving for their shoes and swinging their arms at each other. "Gosh, can y'all get any more childish?" Cole insulted as Kylie cheered at her win. "You're just jealous that you can do this with Julie!" Kylie retorted at her older brother. "Whatever," he grumbled as they pulled into the school's parking lot. "I'll watch you from the stands and if you feel like something's weird, just come and get me, okay?" They both knew what she was referring too: the healed bite wound was weird enough. Kylie kissed his cheek and watched as he walked with Cole into the locker room. As soon as he walked onto the turf, he heard the unmistakable voice of his best friend, Julie Straws. It didn't take him long to spot her talking to their offensive head coach, John Stonebridge, with her hands in a begging motion.
