The Mean Duo ✔

19~ Natalie White

I watched as Xavier went back to the game, it'd be easier to learn greek than try and understand him.

Does he hate me or does not hate me? What about that kiss?What the fuck was it supposed to be? Am I to just pretend that it didn't happen? Do I want to acknowledge it in the first place?, I snapped out of my thoughts as the bell rang to signal the start of the game.

The girls cheered for the boys with shouts and screams as I observed. Cory got the ball and passed to John but he got tackled and the ball was pulled from him by the quarterback of Pepper High.

The quarterback then ran like the wind only to be kiss the ground when Xavier tackled him, he grabbed the ball from the quarterback hugging the floor and ran towards the end zone like Obelix terrorising the Roman soldiers again. Once he reached the 70 yard line, he went in for a field kick.

"Yes Xavier, you can do it!", I yelled with all my might just for the fun of it. And fun it was when I saw a small smirk adorn his face.

He kicked the ball expertly like always and it easily flew past the endzone and through the goal posts, scoring the first goal for the Vipers, making the score to a 3:6.

"Yasss!", I jumped up and did the goal routine with the girls. 

The game dragged on with the Pepper high scoring another field goal bring the score to 3:9. At this rate we'll be sore losers if we don't score a touchdown.

The ball was back in our court as Cory ran through to the 40 yard line before throwing the ball to Jake. He thanks to his small build weaseled his way through the giant tacklers and ran swiftly to the 60 yardline before throwing the ball to Xavier.

He grabbed the ball inbetween his armpit and extended one arm as he ran straight into the tacklers laying await infront of the end zone. He bowled the tacklers like some bowling pins on to the ground and touched down bringing the score to an even 9:9

"Yes! You did it!", I screamed along with the hundreds of other students.

They hut again and the game restarted but their quarterback missed and threw the ball to one of our team members. He ran swiftly along with the ball, avoiding the momentarily distracted tacklers before passing the ball to Cory who went wide and threw it to Jake on the other end.

Jake ran passed the 50 yard line and got tackled but he had managed to throw the ball to Xavier before being tackled. So by time the tacklers of Pepper High realised the ball wasn't with Jake, it was too late as Xavier was already nearing the end zone with only a few Pepper High jocks nearby. Just as he pushed a tackler away and was about to touch down...The bell rang. Signalling the end of the game.

"Damn it!", Groans and mutters resounded on the field from myself and our students while sighs of relief was sounded from the students of Pepper High.

The referees went in for an overtime play considering the scores were even. And as the game restarted everyone was on their seats, biting their nails anxiously.

The ball was thrown from the hands of the pepper high quarterback to a wide receiver as he ran to avoid the tacklers of our team. The reciever didn't get to pass the 40 yard line as Xavier pulled him by his foot and tackled him.

The second down was to our advantage as Xavier grabbed the ball and threw it to Jake, who as always ran, fearing for his life from the tacklers before passing the ball to Cory.

Cory being the idiot he is went in for a field kick again and surprisingly it went through, putting us in the lead. People started chanting Cory's name at the hike as he hogged the ball, letting the chants get to him. He tried scoring a touchdown on his own but like expected it ended with him being tackled and the ball being pulled into the hands of the Pepper high quarterback.
