Kevin

Kevin didn't like the fact that he just saw his lover kiss his teammate. Lottie knew how much he loved Alyssa.

"Lottie! Hey!" he called, but Lottie didn't hear him. He grumbled, then walked over to her. Lottie checked her watch and left, leaving Kevin behind. "We'll see who has Alyssa after the game." He mumbled to himself. He chuckled. Of course, she could do way worse. Lottie wasn't the best, but Alyssa was probably just using Lottie to make him jealous. Or, they're soulmates, dumbass, his head told him. Nah. Lottie's straight, right? Whatever, he'll find out at the after-game party that one of players hosts after each game they win. This year, it was Lottie's turn. Kevin had done it last year. Maybe there'll be a hot chick there that he can date. Kevin left, both his thoughts and the field.

"Yo, guys. This is how its gonna work. Lottie, you run south with the ball. Annie, you cover her. The rest of us, cover them. Go, go, go!" Kevin said during a huddle.

"Give me a D, R, A, G, O, N, S! What's that spell? Dragons! Go, team!!" Nila kept the crowd in good spirits. Kevin thought that was nice. He watched the field, and they played the plan perfectly.

In the end, the Dragons won 18-14, the first time they beat the Eagles. "Way to go Lottie! That pass was amazing!" Annie said, punching Lottie's arm. Lottie laughed, along with the rest of the team. Kevin frowned, then smiled. "Hey, you're doing the party, right?" He asked Lottie. "Yeah, I think so," Lottie said. Kevin noticed that she hesitated at answering him, maybe she was gonna say something else. "Alright, see you soon?" He asked. Lottie nodded.

Kevin waited for the party to start but, he kept changing clothing, trying to find the best to show off to Alyssa. "Kevin! Party's gonna start without us!" Nila shouted. Kevin cursed, grabbed his phone, grabbed his coat and ran to the car. "Finally," Nila muttered. The drive was boring. But was totally worth it. Lottie's house looked huge! Lottie was standing at the door, with Alyssa. Kevin walked up to them and smiled. "Hey Kev. This is Alyssa." Lottie glared. She pushed him past the door. Why'd she wear such revealing clothing? Kevin thought. Everyone was there! The geeks, gay band, cheerleaders, everyone! Dai had a new tattoo. Lottie was no where to be seen, but Alyssa was right there in front of him. "Hey." He said. Alyssa waved, not looking at him. "I know you want me." He tried again. Alyssa glared at him. "I want you to leave me alone." She hissed. Kevin grabbed her arm and dragged her to an empty hallway. He slammed his lips on hers, and held her in place as he grabbed at her body. "Kevin! What are you doing?" Lottie's voice startled him enough to let Alyssa go. She ran past him and into Lottie's arms. "I thought you were a friend. Guess I was wrong." Lottie said each word as if it was a knife. Kevin rolled his eyes. "Whatever. I still have the football team." He replied. Alyssa shuddered. "Monster." She murmured. Lottie nodded and picked Alyssa up bridal style. Kevin glared. "She is mine!" Kevin yelled. Lottie didn't listen. Instead, she kissed Alyssa, who kissed back, much to his disappointment. The kiss lasted less than a minute. Kevin glared at them.

"You're off the team." He stated, stalking off. He grabbed a beer and drank it down, followed by another, and another. Soon, he was drunk.

"Hey! You're hot!" He said to Loi, who was taken back. Loi pointed to himself. Kevin nodded, pulling Loi into a hallway and kissing him. Loi kissed back, surprised but still happy. Kevin broke the kiss after a moment, then walked off, giving Loi his number in the process. Loi smiled with joy.
