Part Twenty-One

As the next couple of weeks were already rough for us. We had no time to do anything especially the wedding. We haven't even looked into the wedding. That was until my mom called in the middle of study hall one morning and told me that she set up a wedding dress fitting on Saturday which was tomorrow. I was so busy with stuff I had totally forgotten about my dress for the wedding. Thank god the weekend is here I need to rest. But enough of that because today was football tryouts and I had to get ready.

I went into the locker room and got changed and went outside. Devon was already waiting at the track for the guys to come. "Hey babe. Where are the boys" I asked. "In the locker room getting dressed,but hey you ready for this" he said. "Hell Yeah" I said.

After about a couple of minutes the boys started coming outside. Nearly everyone of them was from the gym class in the third period which meant that they will be big mouths today. When all the boys came, it was time to get started.

As I was about to say something to start, a person behind me was yelling "WAIT WAIT". I turned around to see a girl running towards us. She came up to me and asked,as she was catching her breath, "i-is t-this w-w-where f-football Tr-tryouts are". "Why yes it is. Can I help you?" I replied. "I was wondering if I could tryout for the team" she said.

The boys grunted and I looked at them and said "oh shut up" and then I looked at the girl. "Of course you can ,anyone can tryout. What is your name?" I asked. "My name is Jordan Andrews ma'am" she said. "Oh please don't call me ma'am call me Coach Vell, ma'am just makes me feel like I'm old, now go stand next to the boys Ms.Andrews" I said and she did as she was told.

The boys started to look at her like she was nasty, except Dylan. I swear I wanted to hurt them so bad,but I knew I couldnt. I acted natural and Devon began to talk. "Okay everybody. Welcome to football tryouts. I'm pretty sure you guys know me I'm Coach Heart and this is Coach Vell. We will be choosing the team today so try your very hardest. Coach Vell do you have anything to say?" he asked.

"Ok guys I'm going to tell you straight up and I'm talking to the boys if you start to mess with her, you will be dealing with me personally. Got it?" I asked and they nodded. "Ok then we will be starting this tryouts with warm ups so everybody 10 laps around the track. go" I said. Everybody began to run and me and Devon watched them and started taking notes.

After about a half an hour the only people that did the 10 laps was Dylan,Jordan,Steve and Andrew. It was impressive. After 20 more minutes the rest of the guys finally finished the laps. "Ok everybody hydrate, hydrate, hydrate" Devon said.

Everybody drank some of their water and then came back to us. "Alright everybody now it's time for some drills" Devon said. "We have picked your partners for this part" I continued. I called out the names of the partners and I noticed there was no partner for Jordan. She looked at me and asked "what about me?".

I looked at Devon and he shrugged then I looked back at her. "I'll be doing this with you" I said as I gave Devon my clip board and whistle. I went on to the field and we did our drills and I had to admit Jordan put up a big effort. She was very good.

When we got done, everybody got up and went to Devon. Devon gave me my whistle and clip board and I stood next to him. "Okay people. Now you guys will be doing some plays and then that will be the end of tryouts so work hard,now go put on the equipment and get on the field" Devon said.

Everybody went off and put on the equipment and went back on the field. We went through the rest of tryouts and most of them did really good, but some not so much. Everybody looked exausted. Except for two people and that was Dylan and Jordan. I looked at Devon and whispered "Dylan had very good aim and can throw really good so he could make an excellent quaterback and Jordan was fast and can catch so she could be an awesome running back" and he nodded. We looked over the list and decided who would be on the team.

"They are only two people we were going to cut and the rest was on the team" I said to everybody. Devon pointed to the two people who were being cut and they got off the field. "Okay everybody welcome to the football team we have decided that this year their will be two team captains" Devon said. "We have already selected those team captains and they are...Dylan who will be your quarterback and Jordan who will be your runningback" I said. All the guys, except for Dylan who actually looked kind of happy,looked at Jordan in shock.

"I hope you guys know that if don't treat Jordan the right way and follow what she says as Co-captain you are off the team got it?" I asked and the whole team nodded. "Now go hit the showers everybody. First practice will be on Tuesday" Devon said.

They all ran to their locker rooms and we looked at eachother. "Here we go. You ready for this year" Devon said and I replied "more than anything". "Let's get changed out of these clothes" I said and he agreed. We separated and went the locker rooms.

Jordan was already out of the shower and getting dressed. She was happy. I could tell by the way she kept humming. I got changed and went outside where Devon was waiting for me at the car.

We both got into the car and put on our seat belts. I looked out the window of the car and notice Dylan and Jordan talking. I patted Devon's shoulder to get his attention and he said"what?". I pointed to Dylan and Jordan who were really in deep conversation.

"Well would you look at that. Looks like we basically made a younger version of us" Devon said as he held my hand. "Yeah I think we did" I said and just like that we drove home.
