(Anna) 

As Emma and Cole came up to us my face was burning red. Emma took one look at Luke's hand intertwinded (?) with mine and gave me a mischivious look.

Ready? she mouthed to me. I shook my head fouriously at her, I couldn't embaress myself again in front of Luke's parents by looking like a bimbo. No way was that going to happen- well knowing Emma, It probably was.

Suddenly Emma introduced herself and proposed a 'friendly' game of football. The boys and girls split up, and us girls headed in to change for the game.

Once in the house Emma dragged me into Luke's room holding Cole's jearsy, who knows when she got that. Once we where safely in the room Emma took off her shirt to change revealing a black lacey bra that still had a tag on it.

"Special occasion?" I asked her

Emma simply winked at me

"It still has the tag on it, sweetie." I said smiling inoccently, while she playfully smacked me trying to take the tag off at the same time. I felt akward standing there while my beastie was changing so I walked around the room looking around at Luke's room.

I stopped at a beautiful picture on the wall. It was a meadow, with trees hanging over it, and the sun poking through a bit. It took my breath away, and made me wonder if such a place was real.

I couldn't examine it anymore because something was thrown at me, covering my face. Startled, I pulled it off, reveling it to be a jersey for some high school smelling strongly of Luke. If Emma hadn't been there I probably would've stood there like an idiot sniffing a shirt while everyone was playing football.

"Its a shirt-you know two holes on the side for your arms, one on top for your head- so don't just stand there" Emma said teasingly. Rolling my eyes at her I quickly changed into my track shorts and threw the shirt on, no surpise to me it was way too big.

Turing back to look at the painting I noticed intials on the side : LKS... I wonder? Not for long though, because my mind was now focused on Emma trying to kill me. Not really, but it felt that way because she was pulling the shirt so darn tight I could barely breathe!!

"Emma!" - despreate gasp for air- " I can't breathe!! Why is this so tight??" I complained already knowing her answer.

"Suck it up Anna, you agreed to this so don't baby out besides you know you want to make Luke crazy for you, just like I want Cole to RRREALLYY notice me." She replied, loosing the shirt a bit, and returning my breathing back to a normal pace.

I turned around to get a good look at my best friend, the one who had stuck by me through the whole Chris ordeal, the one who will always be there in the end if my dream comes true.

I hugged her tightly, she truley was the sister I never had (corney right?), but when I hugged her she winced slightly. Imediatly I let go ," Em's you okay?" I sounded so worried, well because this wasn't the first time shes flinched at a hug or even a high five.

She looked so sad about something, what was it? I knew Emma though, if she wanted to talk about it she would've spilled the beans already so i'll wait until shes ready to tell me. Suddenly she smiled.

"I'm great I think I just did a little too much kickboxing last night and I'm a bit sore, cause you know those tapes I have, there vicious on you!! Always trying to get you beat up and stuff, dont worry though!! I can not WAIT for this game, I actually can't wait to see you flirt because it's going to be hilarious, anywho lets go." She grabbed my hand and headed out the door, I knew she was lying about the tapes, but I'll respect her privacy.

We got down to the room that has the door to the outside, I could make out the shirt-free guys in a huddle discusing stuff and suddenly I couldn't wait for our little plan to work. A girl named Jasmine - Jas for short- was standing on a chair quieting the girls.

"Alrightly everyone, this is going to be an easy win like last time. Stick to your mate, use all the flirting you can muster up. This isn't a simple game- this is war- so fight dirty!" Us girls yelled in agreement before Jas assigned jobs. I was going to be a runner, and Emma was apperently going to gaurd. Excitment filled the air as we stepped out eyeing up our shirtless mates up and down.

It was so wierd how I had gotten used to the term-and fact- of mates. I guess when something feels so right in your soul, you never have to question it. I knew Luke without a doubt was going to be my one and only true love of my life because I've never felt anything like this before in my life.

Speak of the devil, Luke came up and wrapped his arms around my waist pushing me into his -very- excited little-er big- friend of his. Again I found myself blushing in his presence.

"How about we skip this game and go upstairs to do alittle playing of our own babe?" Luke's sexy voice floated into my ear, making me shiver at the need in his voice. I turned around and almost gave into his irrasitable eyes that were begging me to do things I wasn't ready for.

I scholded myself -stick to the plan!- So I streached and lightly brushed my lips across his and trying to ignore the burst of fireworks that exploded in my body said, " Not a chance, After we beat you....hmmm maybe. Babe." I smirked at him and untangled myself from him- not a position for his parents who had taken the adults of the party to the patio- to see. I walked away swaying my hips in the way that Emma had taught me. God I was terrible at this flirting thing!

At least I thought I was until two or three of the unmated guys wolf-whistled (no oun intended) at me. I heard a growl from Luke, soI turned back around and put an innocent smile on my face.

"You are going to pay for that little miss, game on." Ohh it is so on!

We got lined up in our positions- girls got the ball first hmm how did that happen?

DOWN! SET!! HUT!!!

And so the games begin.
