Back Tucks and Touchdowns

Suddenly, another body slammed into her, sending her things careening across the floor. And her phone― her precious phone― was falling, slipping out of her grasp and cracking on the concrete floor. One particularly heavy textbook managed to land directly on her foot, and she flinched in pain.

"What the fuck!" she snapped, her gaze immediately locking onto her assailant.

Dark (perfect) brown eyes glared right back at her, and she scowled deeply when she recognized the person standing before her.

"What the hell?" Theodore scoffed at her tone. "You're the one that ran into me."

Katya rolled her eyes, irritation coating every nerve of her being. "Well then you should have fucking moved."

His eyes widened in disbelief while stepping back so she could bend down to pick up her things. With her heart in her throat, she picked up her phone carefully, only to see that the screen was shattered.

"Jesus, it was just an accident."

Katya growled up at him, inexplicably irritated that he didn't even bother to help her with her things. Irritated that he was responsible for her damaged phone. "Yeah well, next time it would great if you didn't stand in the middle of the hall like a dipshit."

His eyebrows flew into his hairline, before furrowing together in anger. At his annoyance, everything about him seemed to tense and stiffen. "Well maybe you should watch where you're fucking going next time, Katie."

Her teeth gritted together. "It's Katya."

He thinks she's stuck up. She thinks he's a hypocrite.

When the cheerleaders of Alderidge High are forced to become "guardian angels" for the football team, head cheerleader Katya Richards, and star quarterback Theodore Rodgers don't exactly get along.

Too bad she's supposed to be his good luck charm.
