Chapter 12

It was officially homecoming week. Everyone is so excited for homecoming this year, the dresses were bought, ties were picked out, and hair appointments made. Now all we had to do was make it through this week. According to Veronica, homecoming week is the second biggest week of the school year. The biggest week is spirit week. That's right before spring break. But the events for homecoming were pretty exciting. What's sucks though is that because I came home in the middle of the night Friday, I got grounded for a few days. So I couldn't do anything with anyone until Thursday.

Ever since Friday night, I've also done my best to stay on Chelsey's good side by avoiding Chace. Like this morning while I was at my locker, I heard him talking down the hall and so I grabbed Jeff as fast as I could and kissed him until I heard him walk past us. I felt bad for avoiding him, especially after he admitted he didn't like me around Jeff, but I didn't want to feel Chelsey's wrath. She already doesn't like me.

It's been hard to not text him back though. Especially since some of the things he sends me are pretty riskae. He is definitely great with words. It didn't matter though, because once homecoming was over, I'm hoping things between him and I will be better than ever. He will end it with Chelsey, and I will stop leading Jeff on. Kissing Jeff has also been disgusting and revolting. He's way to forceful and his kisses are extremely hard, it feels like I need to put an ice pack on my lips after he pulls away. Now every time I even look at him, my lips get sore.

Today was the homecoming courts walk. They would walk across the stage in the auditorium for the juniors and seniors to look at them while the school would just broadcast it to the underclassmen. Chelsey was on homecoming court this year and was probably going to win homecoming queen. They announce who the king and queen are at the homecoming game, which is this Friday. Chace, Jeff, Mikey, and Jordan are all starting players. I'm really excited for them. Jeff is the starting quarterback, which is on the offense side and Chace is the starting middle linebacker, which is the defense side. That's honestly the only thing I know about this game.

The only other thing I know about this game is that we are going to win. We've been undefeated since last year I think is what it is. Also, Jeff hasn't shut up about the game since this morning. And I have a feeling all the guys are like this. Once lunch rolled around, it was definitely true. Even Veronica and Candice were hyped up for the big game. They'd be the ones cheering them on.

"We are so going to kick New York's asses Friday night!" Mikey says high fiving Jordan.

"Hell yeah we are!" Chace says while walking up. He high fives all the guys, including Jeff.

"Are you ready for practice today? It's suppose to be brutal all week." Jeff says to him.

"You bet your ass I am. I can take brutality. What's a great team without a little roughing up?"

"Damn right."

Did Friday night just escape their minds? I look at Candice confused and she just shrugs. Veronica walks over in her cheer leading uniform and sits down.

"You ready to cheer us on, ladies?" Jordan asks.

"The routine we've been working on for the game is totally killer. We are so going to win." Candice says proudly.

They all continue talking about what major parts in the game they were totally excited for. That's when Chelsey came walking up and sat down.

"So, are you guys excited to see us walk across the stage tomorrow morning?" She smiles. Even she was playing a part in the game. I wanted to do something for them too.

"Chelse, you're going to look so beautiful in your dresses." Veronica smiles at her.

"Honey, you have no idea." Chelsey winks at her. "Babe, make sure you buy a tie to match my dress for actual homecoming night." She refers to Chace.
