Who Said girls Couldn't Play Football

Chapter 23: Practice, Practice, Game

It's now 2 pm and I started playing with Ariel right after breakfast.

A knock sounds at the door.

I walk towards my bedroom door and open it, only to find Gage here to help me.

I look at Ariel and then him and back and forth a couple of times.

"Wait here I'll change really quick."

I walk into my closet and pull out a blue sports bra and a gray pair of shorts.

I change into the clothes and wash my face, scrubbing away all of the dirt and grime on it.

I grab the two water bottles that are on my counter and hope that they are enough.

"How about we play tag" I say when I walk out.

"We don't have enough players." Gage says, glancing at me and then picking up the doll I used and started to play with Ariel.

I grab my phone and group text everyone on the football team and tom and Jer.

D- hey guy I'm at my dads house and working out and stuff to help my knee. I'm about to play tag with Gage and my little sister, we need more players though, anyone want to join? It's in the back yard at my dads house.

Tom- Sure be there in ten

Brent- me and angel will be there in 15 minutes.

Jer- I'll play.

Cole( tight end)- I'll be there in less then 30 min.

These are the only replies I get.

Delilah- there will be food

Ben(guard)- be there asap

Mark( full back)- I'll bring the chips

Dan( half back)- I've got the pop and water

Evan (middle line backer)- I've got the Gatorade

By the time ten minutes passes everyone is coming.

After 15, everyone starts to show up.

"You can wait in the kitchen" I say to them.

There is about 50 people here. I walk up the stairs to my room. I walk in to see Gage and Ariel still playing.

"Hey," Gage looks at me, "the guys are here to play tag."

"Really?"

"Yeah" I say shrugging.

"All I had to do was offer food." I look over at Ariel and pick her up.

I look at her with a face of excitement.

"Guess what."

"What?" Ariel asks with a look of puzzlement on her face.

"I have friends that came to play tag with us!"

She smiles brightly. "Really?"

"Yeah!"

"Well what are we doing?" She asks.
