Secret Admirer

14) The Game

|Madelyn|

"Autumn, I am not wearing that to the football game," I state, looking down at the gold sparkly crop top with the shortest shorts I have ever seen.

"Why not, Maddie? Shake it up a little bit," Autumn says to me, smirking, her shoulders shaking in a little dance.

"No, please, I can't wear this," I plead, holding up the shorts to her, my voice filled with genuine distress.

"Fine, but you have to wear one of them, the top or the shorts," she states, her tone giving her away. Meaning she's not going to give up on this conversation.

"You're joking, right?" I exclaim, my eyebrows shooting up at her statement, desperately hoping she's just playing around. This whole scenario is so outlandish, it's hard to believe she's serious. 

"No, I am not," 

"Autumn," my head falls backward as a groan escapes my lips.

"You will be fine. Anyways, this is a perfect opportunity to show off to your lover," a smirk appears on her face, mischief flashing in her eyes. 

"He is not my lover,"

"Not yet," Autumn says, shrugging her shoulders before turning away from me. I scoff before throwing a pillow at her. She dodges the pillow, laughter filling the air around us. 

"Okay! Fine, you win! Happy? I will wear the top with high-waisted jeans," I state, marching into the bathroom to change. "Of course I am," Autumn yells in excitement. I shut the door behind me, leaning into it for a second. I close my eyes, trying to gain some control over my breathing. What have I gotten myself into? 

A couple minutes pass before I walk out of the bathroom and changed into the top Autumn insisted I wear and my favorite high-waisted jeans. 

"This is too much," glancing down, the top fits me like a glove like it was painted onto my body. I gulp, not knowing how to feel about it. This is way out of my comfort zone. 

"No, it's not. It's perfect, would have been even more perfect with the shorts. But you win some you lose some," Autumn informs me patting the space next to her, signaling me to come sit next her. I sigh before sitting down. 

"Autumn, Cole made another deal with me last night," I whisper to her, looking straight into the ground not wanting to meet her eyes. 

"Oh really? What was it this time?" 

"Well, he asked if I was going to the dance and I said no because of our Twilight marathon. So he told me iftheywonthegametonightIwouldgotothedance," I say a little too fast.

"Breathe sweetie now slower,"

"He told me if they won the game tonight I would go to the dance," She sat there with her mouth open.

"Man, I really hope they won," she mutters under her breath.

"Autumn," I quietly yell.

"What? I do," 

I roll my eyes. I look at my phone. Shoot, we really need to go.

"Come on we need to leave before we are late,"

Later at the game

"Five dollars please," the lady asks both of us as we enter the football field. "Here you go have a nice time," 

"Thank you," I say to the lady before entering.
