I sit with some girls who are squealing about their hair. I smile. Mal has been using hair spells to help out some insecure girls. Audrey is pretty mad about it. I know if she asked Mal, she would laugh in her face. I lean against the brick wall seperating the school and the yard, playing with the hem of my dress.
"Oh, hello." I look up to see Jay leaning against the rail, right above me. He's talking to me and the girls- who jump up and race over to where I am to get as close as possible.
"You all going to tourney game tonight?" I grin and respond "yeah" with the girls.
"Keep a lookout for number eight, all right? Scoring the winning goal." I grin and say, "Step back." He does and- with Audrey watching me like a hawk- I jump up and grab the metal railing. I hoist myself over it and stand in front of him, grinning confidently. He applauds and I laugh, bowing.
________________________________________________________________________________Audrey watches the two of them, seething. Brielle has a line of suitors longer than anyone else. For her beauty, and charm, and position. But this boy seems different. "Bennyboo-" Audrey taps Ben's arm repeatedly, "Tell your sister to stop flirting with that villain kid." Ben turns around and smiles when he sees his sister flirting with Jay. He smiles and turns to Audrey, "Let her have fun. She's really happy." Audrey sighs heavily. ________________________________________________________________________________
I lead the cheerleaders throughout the match. Everyone is excited and super nervous about the close match.
This is a nail-biter, folks. There's 47 seconds left on the clock. We're all tied up. The Sherwood Falcons, two. The Fighting Knights, two. What a game between Auradon's fiercest rivals. The teams get into their huddles and take up positions along the kill zone.
I notice Jay convincing the coach to let Carlos in. The coach allows Carlos to join and I smile, leading the cheerleaders into a louder chant. The boys race to the field and the announcer continues to narrate the match.
He's bringing that hothead Jay in from the Isle and that little guy Carlos can barely hold a shield. When they break from their huddles, this is gonna be a big moment here. And tip-off is ready. Here we go. Long pass goes to Jay. Jay dishes off to Prince Ben. Nice little block by Carlos. He does a little dancing jig in his opponent's face.
The cheerleaders and I laugh at Carlos's dance.
And now Jay gets the ball back. Here comes Jay! Jay, hurdling maneuver at mid-field.
We clap and yell, "C'mon!" We hoist each other up into a pyramid.
Prince Ben moves over wide, gives it back to Jay. He's in the clear! Shot! Oh, what a save by Philip The Falcons' goalkeeper! 23 seconds left. You could cut the tension with a sword.
