Thank you JeNiKA_ScReAmO_ for the book cover :)

“How was practice?” Janet asked as I fell on the sofa.

“Exhausting,” I said.

“You smell so bad,” she said as the guys laughed.

“Hungry?” Joel asked me.

“Yes please. Anything you have I want,”

“Okay,” he said laughing.

“Grill cheese?”

“Yes,”

Liam sat next to me and gave me a bottle of water. “Jake was really hard on you, today,”

“He wants to break me so that I’ll quite. Every team I’ve been on they’ve done the same thing,” I sighed.

“You are really good,” Joel said handing me a plate.

“Thanks man,” I said taking a bit.

Food always taste better when your hungry and in pain.

“You know a cold shower always helps,” Janet said in fresh clothes.

“I know, but I just want food,”

“We get our coaches in a week, so you won’t have to worry about Jake anymore,”

“The coaches are the worst,” I said.

“You’ll be fine,”

“Not if your little boyfriend going to be there. He’ll give me hell,”

“It’s not that bad,” Joel said joining us.

“For now,” I said getting up. “I’m going to shower and take a nice long nap,”

“Okay,” they said as I left the room.

I filled up the bathtub with warm water and soap.

I took off my sweaty clothes and climbed into the tub.

I lied there in the water and closed my eyes.

As much as I hate to admit it but Jake really did push me.

I haven’t been in so much pain in my life.

I felt a tear rolled down my check and I quickly wiped it away.

Whenever I’m angry or in pain I tend to cry.

Then I get pissed and cry again.

I drained the tube and slowly stood up.

I turned on the shower and washed off.

I got out and wrapped a towel around me.

I change into sweats and joined the guys in the living room. I sat next to my sister and rested my head on her shoulder.

There was a knock on the door and Liam got up to answer it.

“Hey man,”

“Hey guys, what’s up?” he said as two guys walked in.

I recognized them from football.

“Who are the cuties?” one of them said.

“Janet and Toni, our roommates,”

“Huh?” the other one asked.

“A little mix up,” I said.

“Oh,” they said.

“I’m Travis and this is Chris,”

“Hi,” Janet and I said.

“We play football together,” I said.

“Okay, yeah,” Chris said.

“Jake hates you,” Travis said.

“Thanks man,” I said smiling sarcastically.

“Sorry about him,” Chris said.

“It’s fine. I don’t like the guy either,”

They laughed and sat down with Joel and Liam.

The next day I woke up bright and early and made everyone eggs and pancakes.

We eat together and shortly after we left for practice.

Janet wished me good luck and I headed to the girls locker room.

I opened the locker, where I put my football pads and they were gone.

I looked around for them and they were no where.

No other sport is using this locker room right now.

I sighed.

Jake.

I got up and marched to the boy’s locker room.

I walked in and all the guys jumped back in shock.

I rolled my eyes and looked for Jake.

“Hey Joel,”

“Whoa, what are you doing here?” he asked.

“Where’s Jake?”

“In the back,”

“Thanks,” I said.

“What did he do?” he asked.

“Yo all-star! Where are my pads?”

He looked at me shocked. He was in the middle of changing.

“Right here,” he said smirking at me.

“Don’t touch my stuff,” I glared.

I opened the bag to make sure everything was there and it was full with pads.

I glared at him.

“Your not funny you’re an ass. Give me my football pads now,”

“Or what doll face?”

“Don’t test me, all-star,”

“Come on man, just give her, her pads,” Joel said.

“Yeah, you said yesterday she was good,”

I smirked at him. “Really now?”

“Don’t get cocky with me,”

“Why not all-star,”

“You don’t belong here,”

“Give me my pads and I’ll be gone,”

“Here,” Travis said.

“Thanks,” I said taking my things.

“I’ll see you on the field,” I said winking at Jake.

“And I’ll see you in bed,”
