I watched as Xavier went back to the game, it'd be easier to learn greek than try and understand him.
Does he hate me or does not hate me? What about that kiss?What the fuck was it supposed to be? Am I to just pretend that it didn't happen? Do I want to acknowledge it in the first place?, I snapped out of my thoughts as the bell rang to signal the start of the game.
The girls cheered for the boys with shouts and screams as I observed. Cory got the ball and passed to John but he got tackled and the ball was pulled from him by the quarterback of Pepper High.
The quarterback then ran like the wind only to be kiss the ground when Xavier tackled him, he grabbed the ball from the quarterback hugging the floor and ran towards the end zone like Obelix terrorising the Roman soldiers again. Once he reached the 70 yard line, he went in for a field kick.
"Yes Xavier, you can do it!", I yelled with all my might just for the fun of it. And fun it was when I saw a small smirk adorn his face.
He kicked the ball expertly like always and it easily flew past the endzone and through the goal posts, scoring the first goal for the Vipers, making the score to a 3:6.
"Yasss!", I jumped up and did the goal routine with the girls.
The game dragged on with the Pepper high scoring another field goal bring the score to 3:9. At this rate we'll be sore losers if we don't score a touchdown.
The ball was back in our court as Cory ran through to the 40 yard line before throwing the ball to Jake. He thanks to his small build weaseled his way through the giant tacklers and ran swiftly to the 60 yardline before throwing the ball to Xavier.
He grabbed the ball inbetween his armpit and extended one arm as he ran straight into the tacklers laying await infront of the end zone. He bowled the tacklers like some bowling pins on to the ground and touched down bringing the score to an even 9:9
"Yes! You did it!", I screamed along with the hundreds of other students.
They hut again and the game restarted but their quarterback missed and threw the ball to one of our team members. He ran swiftly along with the ball, avoiding the momentarily distracted tacklers before passing the ball to Cory who went wide and threw it to Jake on the other end.
Jake ran passed the 50 yard line and got tackled but he had managed to throw the ball to Xavier before being tackled. So by time the tacklers of Pepper High realised the ball wasn't with Jake, it was too late as Xavier was already nearing the end zone with only a few Pepper High jocks nearby. Just as he pushed a tackler away and was about to touch down...The bell rang. Signalling the end of the game.
"Damn it!", Groans and mutters resounded on the field from myself and our students while sighs of relief was sounded from the students of Pepper High.
The referees went in for an overtime play considering the scores were even. And as the game restarted everyone was on their seats, biting their nails anxiously.
The ball was thrown from the hands of the pepper high quarterback to a wide receiver as he ran to avoid the tacklers of our team. The reciever didn't get to pass the 40 yard line as Xavier pulled him by his foot and tackled him.
The second down was to our advantage as Xavier grabbed the ball and threw it to Jake, who as always ran, fearing for his life from the tacklers before passing the ball to Cory.
Cory being the idiot he is went in for a field kick again and surprisingly it went through, putting us in the lead. People started chanting Cory's name at the hike as he hogged the ball, letting the chants get to him. He tried scoring a touchdown on his own but like expected it ended with him being tackled and the ball being pulled into the hands of the Pepper high quarterback.
The quarterback didn't get to go that far before Xavier tackled him, fixing Cory's mistake after him. Grabbing the ball from the quarterback, Xavier passed it to a reciever who passed it to a tackler on our side.
The tackler ran till the 60 yard line before passing the ball to Jake once again, the dude looks red in the face with exhaustion now. Noticing Jake's exhaustion Xavier ran to him and he handed the ball swiftly to Xavier, who in turn barelled with all his remaining energy towards the endzone.
The tackler who dare got in his way ended up being squashed to the ground only to be collected by a spatula. Xavier kept panting and sweating as he ran before jumping the remainder of the way right on to the end zone and touched down, scoring the victory goal.
"9 to 0!, We won! Xavier did it!", I yelled as I clapped my hands and jumped around. In my excitement I think I even hugged Mia, momentarily shocking her.
As the Vipers were declared the winners of the Interschool football championship, I saw Coach Derek bawling his eyes out in happiness.
Shifting my attention from the crying Coach to infront of me, I jumped back noticing Xavier standing in front of me in all his 6 foot sweaty glory.
"I did good?", He asked smugly noticing my excitement.
"Way better than good! I can't believe our school actually won for the first time in history!", I squealed happily.
"See what you would've missed if you stayed home feigning 'sick', Xavier teased in air quotes.
"I'd like to think that Vipers won because I was here bringing luck to the game", I smiled smugly
"Sure. It obviously had nothing to do with us sweating our asses off on the field", he rolled his eyes at me with a smile.
"Shit! Do you know the time!?", All of sudden his mood changed as I quickly grabbed my phone from my skirt pocket to check the time.
"6:40 Pm", I told him as he muttered a fuck under his breath.
He then started walking away without a word. Whiplash! Whiplash is what I'll always have at the end of our conversations.
"Where you going?", I yelled after him.
"I have places to be!", He yelled back without turning around.
"You can't go, you have to-", I couldn't finish as he was already out of sight.
What on earth is he running off to now?
"Nat did you see Xavier!?", Cory asked from behind me.
"He just...left?"
"Shit! You should go get him as Coach wants him to accept the trophy", Cory pushed me to go get Xavier.
"But I-" What is it with men and disappearing! Second time today!
Rolling my eyes I ran in the direction Xavier went, only to see him boarding a bus.
"Shit!", I muttered to myself as I quickly ran to my car and drove out swiftly.
Why am I doing this again? Cause you're a nosy bitch who wants to find out what he's up to. My subconscious speaking facts.
Driving around I couldn't find the bus he boarded, So I just drove to the address I saw on his student profile. As I reached there I saw a cloaked and hooded figure, suspiciously like Xavier come out of the run down gym that I once saw him enter.
Deciding against all voices of reason, I followed him from the shadows till he boarded a rusty old car with a rusty old man in it.
I tailed the car to a very very shady part of town till I reached a lair like place with zero lights.
What the fuck have I gotten myself in to? For all I know he could be a serial killer and not Xavier.
In all the horror movies I've watched, I kept telling myself that if it was I in that situation, I wouldn't be dumb like the whores in them and go inspect whatever spooky shit going on... but here I am being the dumb white blonde in them movies.
I followed the two figures to a dingy entrance of a basement where there was a whole line up of people waiting. But waiting for what?
I saw the two figures move in through a side door instead of waiting in the line like the others. Me being the smart girl I am followed them after a while of waiting, through that side door.
Just as I entered, on the other side layed await a giant in cheap tuxedo.
"Where do you think you're going young lady?", his eyes greedily trailed down my body, igniting a shiver of disgust within me.
"I am the entertainment", I smiled seductively burying my urge to vomit on him.
"Cheerleader huh? Cool...I'll look forward for your action kitty cat", he patted my ass as he let me through. I had good mind to smash my knee in his precious jewels but I contained myself as I didn't want to be killed.
Cheers, screams and filth surrounded my ear drums as I walked in through the dimly lit hallway. But as I neared a certain door I heard something that chilled me to my core.
