Not Nearly Metta

Antonio

         “I can’t wait to see you in the stands cheering me on with my family baby” Look at you looking all good in my old jersey” I said hugging Lela. This was the biggest game of the year and it was good to have my family and girl on my side. Not saying that I didn’t already have a fan club in which the whole school chanted my name. But there were no names to those faces and they all blurred together as one. But Lela and my family stood out.

        I scored the first touchdown and I pointed to their section in the stands. I could see and hear Lela and my mom screaming over everyone else voice. I laughed as every on the team jumped all over me. Lela came to every game except for two because of work. And when she didn’t come Nicole stood in for here. As always when I made a touchdown or anything else that made the crowed go crazy Lela would text my phone. Even though she knew I couldn’t see it until after the game is over and then she tells me about it when I see her after the game. So it’s pointless but Lela still did it, it was just her being herself and so excited at the same time. I laughed again cause I knew what she was doing up in the stands.

        Damn this game was just going back and forth. We make a touchdown they make one and so on. The game is now in overtime with 25 to 25. Hell my stomach was growling and I could tell everyone was getting tired. “Come on ya’ll let’s win this shit so I can get it on with one of these new members of my fan club” Byron the quarter back said. Some of us shook our head and the others laugh and gave him dap. Obviously they didn’t have a girl and they planned on doing the same thing after the game. Whatever the reason was I didn’t care to know. Messing around with a girl you didn’t know lead to nothing but trouble to a football player. They saw dollar signs and a sure way to get that was to get pregnant. Lela and I weren’t even having sex and plus I knew she wasn’t with me because I was a football player.

       Everything moved so fast once we were on the field. We had only seconds to make a choice to way the game would play out. Go, go, go, hell yea. That’s what the hell I’m talking about. Jess just made the winning score and the crowed went crazy yelling Roll and Tide. Jess dropped to his knees and pointed up toward the sky. Players hit him on the head and some waited for their families to meet them on the field. I knew Lela was coming so I went to the usually place we met up on the field after the game so she wouldn’t have to search for me. I spotted her running on the field “Lela” I yelled out to her. “Ump” some girl just jumped on me and started to kiss me as another girl took pictures. “What the hell get off of me” I said trying to pull her off of me. “You got the picture girl” she said jumping down.

“LELA” I shouted
