The Coach's Daughter

TCD:12

Walking to my next class, I sat down and talked with one of the girls on the cheer team, Malia.

"I need help though," her voice was breaking as if she was on the verge of crying. "what if he's cheating on me with another girl?" A tear slip down her face. We were currently talking about her boyfriend, Chad. They've been dating for 6 years now.

I pulled her for a hug and stroked her back. "It's okay, Lia. Chad wouldn't cheat on you, he loves you too much to even hurt you. You're the only girl for him. Don't worry everything is fine." I reassured her.

She sat up and sniffle. "B-but what i-if it's not? He's been distance for this whole week and he barely talks to me and he's always on his phone. I really love him and I just don't want to lose him." She started crying again as I patted her back.

I feel awkward during these types of things. I'd listen to peoples stories and gives them advice, but what if my advice isn't good enough. Anyone who asked for my help always says I really helped them, but that's hard to believe.

"Don't worry I'll find out what's going on." She nodded her head still laying on my chest. As if on cue, a bunch of guys including chad came into the class laughing.

"Hey, baby girl," when malia didn't respond Chad looked over at me and mouthed 'what's wrong'. I pointed at my phone indicating him to text me.

"Alright Class, welcome to health." A Lady came in. Everyone sat up straight and looked at the lady.

As the guys saw her, the started wolf calling her and using pick up lines on her.

I rolled my eyes. Dogs.

"My names is Ms.Hollandale. Your other teacher, Mr.well, decided it was appropriate to jump off a roof into a pool at a party and show up to work drunk." She sighed. "Anywho, it's nice to meet you guys. Since it's our first time meeting, let's introduce ourselves. I'll go first."

As she was talking, my butt started to vibrate. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket. 1 message from chadrocks.

Chadrocks: what's wrong with lia :((

Me: you.

Me: I can't do this anymore

Me: I can't keep lying to her

Chadrocks: I know I can't either but we gotta keep it a secret

Me: no, it makes me feel bad

Chadrocks: please for me

Me: no

Chadrocks: I just need a little more time

Me:...

Me: how much more time do you need

Chadrocks: a couple of hours

Chadrocks: We'll tell her together after school.

Me: fine.

Me: you have 3 hours left. Get it done or I'm done.

Chadrocks: thanks, you rock.

I didn't even reply. I looked up to see chad typing away on his phone. I looked to see lia who was finishing introducing herself.

I stood up. "My name's Emma. I'm 16 and my favorite color is red and blue. I like all type of sports. I'm am the captain of the cheer team. Uhm, I love food, a lot. I don't really know what to say." I said sitting down but shot back up. "Oh and I'm married to one of the famous Dolan twins," People started chuckling alongside the teacher.

"I like you," the teacher said as she went to another person.

"Lia, come with me to the cafeteria, please. I want a snack."

"Fine, but if we are late, I'll kick your ass."

It was 4:35 which meant school was over. Chad had already texted me that he was done and I should bring malia to the cafeteria.

"Why's it so dark in here," she said searching for the light switch. When she found it and turned it on, she looked as if she wanted to cry.

There standing in front of her was the whole cheer team and football team alongside chad. The cheerleader had a card with the letters    'H A P P Y A N N I V E R S A R Y' going across. While each football player was on one knee holding a single rose. The last cheerleader at the end had one of those candy posters

Chad walked up to Malia and said, "happy anniversary baby girl." Before kissing her.
