I park my car in the school parking lot and go into the school to find Blake. He's definitely my best guy friend, I can tell him anything and he gives the best advice. He's also really protective like a brother. I pull my phone out and text him really quick to see where he's at.
A few seconds later he says he's at my locker waiting for me.
I walk to my locker and see him standing there talking to a few of his football friends.
Once I get there they all give me a hug and ask if I'm excited for the game tonight. I, of course, say yes and tell them good luck.
They all say thanks and ask me where my brother is at. I told them I don't know where Austin is at because he was still at home when I left. They all leave to go look for him because they always get together to do some team bonding before the games. They usually just mess around or talk but they've been doing it before every game for as long as I can remember. Sometimes they do it before school, sometimes during lunch, and sometimes after school. They do it whenever they get the chance. I've gone with Austin before and sat with him while they've done it. It's basically them messing around but when they know that it's going to be a tough game they are all really serious and they go over plays and stuff. I don't like going to those because I'm used to seeing the guys messing around and it's weird when their not and it makes me uncomfortable.
Anyways, I turn to Blake and give him a quick hug and tell him good luck and he gives me his jersey to wear. Then he goes off to find the rest of the team for the team bonding.
On game days all the football guys have to dress up and the girls get to wear the jerseys. I put the jersey on over my t-shirt and spray perfume on myself and walk to class.
My first class is Math. I walk in and sit down. The whole class is talking about the game while our teacher is trying to make us quiet down.
Once he realizes that it's not working he says we can have a free day because he knows theres no point in teaching a lesson when all we will focus on is the game.
The whole day is basically a free day because we are too excited about the game.
After lunch we all go to the gym for the pep rally. There are four sections of bleachers, one for the freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
First the band comes out and starts playing our school song, then the principle comes out and has my dad, the coach, come out and give a little speech about how hard the football players have worked during practices and how the goal is to be undefeated again this year. Then my dad asks the seniors on the team to come down and say a few words.
First Austin speaks, he said that he would really appreciate it if we would all come and support them and it'd mean a lot to him if we all came.
Then Kolton, Blake's brother, said that it was a home game and it starts at seven so he expects to see everyone there.
Next Caleb said that the theme to tonight's game was black, red, and white. Which is our school colors.
Then Cole said that it was 3 dollars for students to get in and 4 dollars for adults.
Finally Blake said he didn't know what to say so he yelled "GO BEARS!" as loud as he could.
After all the speeches, random students would come down and participate in games like who could eat a watermelon the fastest without using hands, or who could hula hoop the longest. I won the hula hoop one by the way! I always try to do at least one game. I'm the coaches daughter, I have to participate in this kind of stuff.
It was really close between Kolton and I. We were the only two left and we had been going for almost five minutes. He had started to scrunch up his nose and I knew he was about to sneeze, he looked at me and I started to laugh.
"It's not funny!" He said but right after he said that, he sneezed and dropped his hula hoop!
I dropped mine and walked away while laughing at him. I went over and grabbed my prize, which was a bag of candy and went to sit back down.
He came over and sat by me and tried to grab some of my candy. I pulled the bag away before he could get some.
"What do you think you're doing?" I asked him while laughing at him.
"Well we all know I should have won so I'm claiming my prize" he said jokingly.
I laughed at him and said we could share and he was happy with that so we sat on the bleachers watching the other students play games while eating our candy
•••
Once the bell rings I got my stuff and took it to my dads office. I told him I was going to get ready for the game with Regan and Tori and to please take my bag home with him and I'll get my car later tonight at the game.
He said that's fine and to be safe. I gave him a quick hug and left.
