The Captain of the Football Team

Thank you JeNiKA_ScReAmO_ for the book cover :)

“How was practice?” Janet asked as I fell on the sofa.
“Exhausting,” I said.
“You smell so bad,” she said as the guys laughed.
“Hungry?” Joel asked me.
“Yes please. Anything you have I want,”
“Okay,” he said laughing.
“Grill cheese?”
“Yes,”
Liam sat next to me and gave me a bottle of water. “Jake was really hard on you, today,”
“He wants to break me so that I’ll quite. Every team I’ve been on they’ve done the same thing,” I sighed.
“You are really good,” Joel said handing me a plate.
“Thanks man,” I said taking a bit.
Food always taste better when your hungry and in pain.
“You know a cold shower always helps,” Janet said in fresh clothes.
“I know, but I just want food,”
“We get our coaches in a week, so you won’t have to worry about Jake anymore,”
“The coaches are the worst,” I said.
“You’ll be fine,”
“Not if your little boyfriend going to be there. He’ll give me hell,”
“It’s not that bad,” Joel said joining us.
“For now,” I said getting up. “I’m going to shower and take a nice long nap,”
“Okay,” they said as I left the room.
I filled up the bathtub with warm water and soap.
I took off my sweaty clothes and climbed into the tub.
I lied there in the water and closed my eyes.
As much as I hate to admit it but Jake really did push me.
I haven’t been in so much pain in my life.
I felt a tear rolled down my check and I quickly wiped it away.
Whenever I’m angry or in pain I tend to cry.
Then I get pissed and cry again.
I drained the tube and slowly stood up.
I turned on the shower and washed off.
I got out and wrapped a towel around me.
I change into sweats and joined the guys in the living room. I sat next to my sister and rested my head on her shoulder.
There was a knock on the door and Liam got up to answer it.
“Hey man,”
“Hey guys, what’s up?” he said as two guys walked in.
I recognized them from football.
“Who are the cuties?” one of them said.
“Janet and Toni, our roommates,”
“Huh?” the other one asked.
“A little mix up,” I said.
“Oh,” they said.
“I’m Travis and this is Chris,”
“Hi,” Janet and I said.
“We play football together,” I said.
“Okay, yeah,” Chris said.
“Jake hates you,” Travis said.
“Thanks man,” I said smiling sarcastically.
“Sorry about him,” Chris said.
“It’s fine. I don’t like the guy either,”
They laughed and sat down with Joel and Liam.

The next day I woke up bright and early and made everyone eggs and pancakes.
We eat together and shortly after we left for practice.
Janet wished me good luck and I headed to the girls locker room.
I opened the locker, where I put my football pads and they were gone.
I looked around for them and they were no where.
No other sport is using this locker room right now.
I sighed.
Jake.
I got up and marched to the boy’s locker room.
I walked in and all the guys jumped back in shock.
I rolled my eyes and looked for Jake.
“Hey Joel,”
“Whoa, what are you doing here?” he asked.
“Where’s Jake?”
“In the back,”
“Thanks,” I said.
“What did he do?” he asked.
“Yo all-star! Where are my pads?”
He looked at me shocked. He was in the middle of changing.
“Right here,” he said smirking at me.
“Don’t touch my stuff,” I glared.
I opened the bag to make sure everything was there and it was full with pads.
I glared at him.
“Your not funny you’re an ass. Give me my football pads now,”
“Or what doll face?”
“Don’t test me, all-star,”
“Come on man, just give her, her pads,” Joel said.
“Yeah, you said yesterday she was good,”
I smirked at him. “Really now?”
“Don’t get cocky with me,”
“Why not all-star,”
“You don’t belong here,”
“Give me my pads and I’ll be gone,”
“Here,” Travis said.
“Thanks,” I said taking my things.
“I’ll see you on the field,” I said winking at Jake.
“And I’ll see you in bed,”
