"Whats your problem!?" I yell at Jake. "You arent the boss of me! So stop acting like one!" I glare at him as he gives me a look that's not guilt, but fear that i may get hurt and he can't stop it. I continue to glare, not easing up, but not going harder I can tell this is killing him and all I want is to get my point across. we are sitting on my couch playing COD and eating the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies my mom just brought out.
"Are you crazy sam!? Why the hell would you do that!? Why cant you be like all the other girls and be a chearleader or something!?" I was trying my hardest to hold back tears. That's the one problem with having a boy best friend when your a girl. They don't notice when your upset and just keep going. "You know how hard coach burns is and you know I don't want you to do this!" I'm done, I've cracked the tears are streaming down my face and now i can see the guilt on his face. I can hear brennan coming down the stairs, I wipe my eyes just as he yells to us, "What the hell is going on down here!? What is up with you two!?" I'm back to glaring at Jake. I see Jake look at him, pleading with him (through his eyes) to be on his side.
"Don't you dare," I growl at them both. "you guys have just as much of a right to be on that team as me!" Brennan threw me a confused glance, raising his eyebrows and looking between Jake and me.
"What the hell are you talking about Sam!?" Said Brennan. At that I stood up and walked away. There was no way I would win with both of them against me at the same time. It was a losing battle and I was not going to lose this.
I turned around and snarled at them. "Im trying out for the football team whether you like it or not!" Then, I walked out of the room.
I was waiting for Coach Burns to call on me to try out for football. I'd convinced Brennan easily just by commenting that he was being a completely bias, hypocrate, but Jake was too hard for me to crack atleast in this scenario. He was sitting next to me, atleast I'd convinced him to do that, he was completely tense with his jaw clenched. i tried to crack a joke to loosen him up a little. "if you keep clenching your jaw your teeth are going to go back into their spot in your head." he glared at me.
"Not now sam!"
"sam evans!" he boomed.
it was my turn he looked around, i was still sitting down suddenly i couldnt move i was too caught up in my own fear. finally i got up the courage to stand up i swallowed before saying. "That's me." his jaw fell and he just stared at me.
"OK. what position are you going for?"
"Quarterback." i said it as proudly as i could manage, Jake winced when i said it. Coach Burns looked at me completely taken aback. "Can i show you what i've got now?" i said raising my eyebrows. he nodded and stepped back to let me pass by him.
and thats
