I Just Might Be 下一个 Chapter Forty Seven
Sorry I haven't written in a while. Writer's block is killing me! Sorry it's so choppy!!!! :( :(
Seth's POV
As the leaves started to blow, I truly noticed that it was starting to look and feel like fall. I loved fall, especially sitting around bonfires and talking to friends. But it soon ended because it was getting late and we all had school tomorrow.
We took Sam and Mattie home. Although she was half asleep in the car. We dropped them off and head 首页 to our beds.
The 下一个 日 after school, I went and watched the 长椅, 沙发 give the team a lecture on their first game tonight. I could tell my looking at Mattie that she was really nervous. She knew she would get to play unless they were loosing really badly which just might happen! Most of the time our high school football team stinks. But this 年 was going to be different. I could tell.
嘿 Uley, nervous about the game? Jake asked as we met up with Mattie.
No, not at all! She 说 sarcastically.
It's okay to he nervous on the first game of the first season. Quil said.
Especially when you're a girl! Embry added.
Yeah, there is absolutely no pressure on me. She said.
As long as 你 don't get to play till the middle of the season, you'll be fine. I said.
Thanks. Mattie 说 as she smiled.
I left with Mattie to get to the game early. Because she hated going alone and I wanted to encourage her before her game. Even if she doesn't get to play, she can still have a good time cheering on the team. I could tell she was nervous.
As the other team started 展示 up, she wrapped her up and pushed it into her helmet. I don't know why she would keep that hot 头盔 on for an 30 minutes. I guess she was scared of the other team knowing there was a girl on the team 或者 something. I really didn't want her to look stupid with keeping her 头盔 on throughout the game if she didn't play so I was gonna just going tell her nicely as possible.
Uley! I yelled over the crowd cheering as we got our first down.
She turned around look various places before spotting me.
嘿 what's up? Mattie asked a little concern.
你 should probably take your 头盔 off. I said.
Why? She asked confused.
I don't know if you'll get to play, and isn't it a little hot to keep it on? I asked.
Yeah a little. She shrugged.
So take it off. I said.
But I don't want to. She 说 whined a little.
Why not? I asked.
Because the guys will tackle me harder to get me hurt to kick me off the sidelines. She said.
Surely they wouldn't do that. I said.
Seth, they're senior guys who want to win and I'm positive that they don't want to okay against a girl. Mattie said.
Okay, I just didn't want 你 to look stupid sitting there with your 头盔 on. I said.
What? I look stupid in this helmet? She asked worried.
No, I meant just sitting there in a helmet. I said.
Oh, well I could take it off. She said.
Yeah, don't he scared to 显示 em' who's a tough girl. I said.
Okay. She smiled.
See ya after the game. I said.
Thanks Seth, I owe you. Mattie laughed.
It was nothing. I said.
I sat down and watched Mattie take off her 头盔 and take her hair out of the flat bun. She shook it out in front of the field causing one of the defense guys on the other team to stare and miss the wide receiver running past him. I laughed so hard. I thought I even saw Mattie laugh to herself as she sat down. She looked up me and I gave her a thumbs up.
由 the half time our team was up 由 10 points. Sadly, Mattie hadn't even gotten to play yet.
Our team ended up winning. Mattie was really mad that she didn't get to play at all. Everyone on the football team went out to eat but of course Mattie didn't to go with em'. But of course I made her go, and I even went with her so if the guys ignored her; she could talk to me! But the guys didn't ignore her that much. Mattie 评论 on the various who got what touch down and how well someone played. The guys seemed like they were coming around to having a girl on team. Some of the guys had a belching contest and Mattie asked if she could try.
Oh I doubt 你 can burp as loud as us. Someone said.
I can at least try. She said.
She took a sip of water and waited a minute. Some guy was I. The middle of a belch when Mattie's burp over powered his.
Way to go Uley, looks like she might hold the record for loudest. Asher said.
Mattie blushed as she looked down at table. None of the players girlfriends were playing so I guess Mattie realized that most girl don't throw a loud belch out in the middle of a eating joint.
It's fine, don't worry about them. I whispered.
She looked at me, her eyes seemed to sparkle a little bit when I told her that.
Thanks. She said.
So Uley do 你 think you'll ever get to play? Asher asked.
I don't know, I hope so! But I wouldn't want to blow them game 或者 something lie that. Mattie said.
你 won't blow the game if 你 get to play, 你 do good at practice. Weaving in and out of the big defense guys, that's just awesome. He said.
Thank 你 Asher. She smiled.
Matt- I mean Uley, we need to go. Remember all that homework we have to do? I asked.
Oh yeah, great. She said.
Come on, I know 你 hate it but 你 have to have good grades to be on the football team. I said.
Okay, bye guys. See y'all at practice tomorrow after classes. She said.
Bye Uley. They all 说 together.
See ya later. I 说 to Asher.
Bye Seth, see ya tomorrow. He said.
Mattie had already grabbed her huge duffle bag and was almost out the door.
Mattie wait up. I said.
Sorry, man tonight was fun! She squealed.
Yeah, it was. I said.
I got onto my bike, and than Mattie hopped on. Don't forget to call your brother when we get home. I said.
Okay, I won't. She said.
I cranked the motorcycle, okay dirt bike, up and headed to my house.
Sorry I haven't written in a while. Writer's block is killing me! Sorry it's so choppy!!!! :( :(
