Best Friend with The Player

Chapter 3

Ellie's POV

" GO GO GO GO." I yell as Ethan made his way down the field. " TOUCHDOWN!" I yell from the side lines. One of the many perks I get for being the coaches daughter.

The crowd went wild.
Washington: 27
Jefferson: 24

" We won!!!" Macy came running toward me.
" I know. Only 7 more games and we will be going to the championships."

As the crowd starts to clear, the team and coaches head into the locker room.

" EL I FORGOT THE STAT SHEET BRING IT IN HERE PLEASE!"

I swear my dad could forget his head if it weren't attached. But i do as told and jog toward the locker room.

As I enter, the stench off sweaty players hit me. I fan my nose and hand the stat sheet to my dad. As I move toward the side.

Once my dad was finished talking the team broke out, but before I could exit, Gabe and all the others threw there sweat towels on me.

" gross gross gross." I shake out of them. " why did you do that, now I'm going to have to burn these clothes."
They all laugh at me, and I exit.

I run to catch up with my father. I decided to ride back with him on the bus, instead of Macy.

I enter and take a seat at the front. Not long after does everyone else. To my surprise, Gabe takes a seat next to me and stares.

" may I help you." I ask, 'cause I know all he wants are my gummy bears.
" fine if you don't want me to sit by you I won't." He starts to leave
" wait!"
" that's right they always beg for me to stay."

" okay you can leave."
" I'm kidding."
" sure."
" you really getting butt hurt?"

" and you're really being an ass?."
He puts a hand her his heart like he was wounded.
" Ellie what or who has given you such potty mouth?"
" I think I've been friends with you way to long."

Once we got back to the field house, I helped bring the water bottles in. I grab my dads keys, and head toward the car.

Until, someone bumped into me. It was dark so I couldn't see a face.

" oh I'm so sorry. It's dark, and I couldn't see."
" no worries."
" Ellie?"

" and you are?"
" I'm surprised you don't know my voice by now. I'm the one always causing you to fall"

" Ethan."
" yep. And I'm sorry again."
He helps me up.
" if this is your way of flirting with me.. you really suck at it."

" that noticeable huh?"
" wait so you were flirting with me?"
" yeah. And I suck at it." He laughs

" oh I thought I was the only one that noticed you do." I smile
" ha-ha very funny."
I laugh, id like to think that maybe me and Ethan could be more than, what we are. But then again, why would he want anything to do with a nerd, like me. It just doesn't work out like that, he is in a total different social category.

" so, you coming to the party tonight?" He shoves his hand in his pockets and rocks back on his heels.
" I don't know. I'm not really a party kinda person."
" to be honest neither am I." He chuckled " how about we do something else than party?" He smirk

" if your implying what I think your implying, its not going happen."
" oh my gosh dirty minded much." He playfully roles his eyes and smiles " I was meaning how about you and I go get something to eat, maybe watch a movie or something."

" like a.."
" date? Yeah like a date. I'm asking you out. Unless this delightful body is to much to handle."
"HA delightful body, good one really you should've been a comedian."

He gave me a dull look.
" don't hate me cause you ain't me okay. Now will you go out on a date with me or not."
" yes I'd love to." I smile and he returns one

Oh my gosh, Ethan White just asked me out. This is like the best day of my life.

Oh wait! What am I going to wear...
