I plan on making this a series with this being the first chapter. I also plan on each chapter being a little longer to. I hope you all enjoy. * Let me start off by telling you a little bit about myself. My name is Jeremy and I'm a senior at James Madison High School in Towson, Maryland. I play strong safety and quarterback for the school's football team, and last year we lost in the state playoffs. This year we're ranked as one of the best teams in the state to start the season. I'm 5'11 about 205 lbs. short brown hair and blue eyes. My two closet friends are Tim and Brent. Tim is my might height and a little lighter probably around 190 or 195 lbs. He has a black mother and a white father so he is fairly dark skinned. He has short brown hair and brown eyes and is the star wide receiver on the team. Brent is 6'1 and 190 lbs. black hair and brown eyes. He's probably the best athlete on the team and has the best chance to get a scholarship after high school. He is the starting free safety and splits time with me at quarterback. He's also the resident lady's man in the school. Now on with my story... It's the first day of my senior year in high school so I didn't want to be late. "Hey honey hurry up before your late for school," my mom yelled up the steps to me. Man I hate when she still treats me like I'm 12 but oh well at least she cares. "See you later mom." I said as I went out the door. I made the short 10 minute drive to the school and pulled into my unofficial parking spot just as Tim and Brent pulled in as well. "Hey guys what's up?" "Not much, just waiting for the first day of football practice to start," said Tim. "Cant wait to see the new freshman chicks this year," Brent added. "Dude do you ever stop thinking about girls?" I asked. "What do you think?" Brent replied. I just shook my head. "Tim do you know when football practice starts?" I asked. "Umm I think in a couple weeks but I'm not sure," he said. As we were walking down the hall Tim's girlfriend, Tanya, walked up to us. "Hey baby," she said to Tim. "Hey girl," he said as he kissed her. Tanya is 5'8 a little thick but still curvy. She is of Mexican decent with long dark hair with big brown eyes and a pretty face. "Hi Sam," I said to Tanya's best friend and a member of our "group." "Hey Jeremy, how was your summer?" she asked. "Ah it was alright, nothing special or anything." "Any summer flings?" she asked inquisitively. "No, no summer flings," I chuckled in reply. You see Samantha has had a crush on me since the 6th grade but I've never really viewed her as someone I could date but more of a friend, since we've been friends since like the 2nd or 3rd grade. Believe me it's not that she isn't good looking because she is. She's a little on the short side at 5'3 but she's slim with a flat stomach. Probably an average b cup, nice shaped legs and ass. Blonde hair to a little past her shoulders with a very cute face. Most guys would die for her to have an interest in them. But we've been friends for a long time and I guess that's all I can think of her as. "Well what about you, any guys that we should know about over the summer?" I asked her. "Nope no guys," she said. By this time the bell had rung and we were off to class. At lunch I made my way to our usual table with Tim and Brent already there, Brent surrounded by about 10 freshman. "How does he do it, have every single girl in school in love with him?" I asked Tim. "He probably puts something in the water the first day they get here," he joked. "Hey don't be mad because all the girls love me," Brent said. "Yea well wait to next year when you go off to college and you'll have to beg the girls to go out with you," I said. "Nah man they'll be begging me just to talk to them." "Sure they will," I said as I rolled my eyes. "Hey boys," Tanya said as her and Sam sat down at the table. "Hey," we all said in almost unison. "So Jeremy why don't you ask out the new girl who just transferred here, I think her name is Mary," Tanya asked. "Yea I've seen her she's pretty hot, but she seems to be kind of an air head," I replied. "Then you two will get along great," Sam said slyly. "Haha very funny," I replied deadpanned. "I don't know I might talk to her to see what she's like," I said. "You should you haven't had a regular girlfriend in a while," Tanya said. "Yea man why is that?" Brent added. "I don't know I guess I haven't found anyone to get serious with," I said. "You don't have to get serious with anyone, just meet a girl and have some fun with her," Brent said. "Yea but I'm looking to at least find someone that I could have a future with," I replied. "Yea whatever man," Brent added. "Shut up Brent, I think it's sweet that Jeremy wants to find someone to fall in love with and spend the rest of his life with," Sam said. "Thanks Sam," I said. "As long as the special someone is me," Sam said not-so-jokingly. "Yea yea keep saying that Sam," I said. "Man you know that in 5 years you and Sam will be married with a kid," Tim said. "Uh huh," I replied. The bell rung so we headed back to class. During homeroom Tanya came up and sat down next to me. "So how come you don't ask Sam out, you know she's liked you since we were in middle school?" she asked. "Yea I know she has, we have a lot in common and were real good friends. I've just never thought of her like that, I mean I care for her and don't want to see her get hurt," I said. "Sounds to me that you like her and just don't know it yet," she said. "Maybe I don't know," I replied. "Well don't take to long to figure it out or she'll be gone," she said. "I know," I said. "In the mean time there's Mary go talk to her," she said. So I got up and walked over to where Mary was sitting. Mary moved here from Virginia during the summer and didn't really know anyone yet so she was kinda shy. Mary is about 5'6 slim but with very nice curves. A high c cup would be my guess, long dark hair and very nice legs. "Hey your Mary right?" I asked. "Yea," she said. "How do you like the school so far?" I asked her. "It seems nice but I don't really know anyone yet or know my way around that much," she replied. "I could show you around if you wanted," I asked. She smiled and said, "that be nice thanks." "No problem. Why don't you come over and sit with me and meet my friend Tanya?" I said. She replied, "ok." So for the first couple of weeks I showed her around the school, and introduced her to my group of friends. Just about all the guys from the football team wanted to meet her just because she was hot. Even some guys that I didn't know would come up and act like they did just to meet her. She actually wasn't an airhead like we all thought she was. She was pretty smart and had the best grades out of all of us. Everyone of our group liked her, Tanya had kinda taken her under her wing to dish out all the girl stuff that I really couldn't care less about. Tim liked her because Tanya liked her and Brent wanted to sleep with her. The only one who didn't really seem to like her was Sam. I figured it was probably because I showed so much interest in her. I hoped that it wasn't because of that because I didn't want to hurt her. But every time I asked her about it she said it was fine with her. Girls, I don't get them and I don't think I ever will. But on I went with my life. After about a month of school football practice started and everyone was getting hyped for the season. Especially for us since this was the last year to win a state championship, and our last chance to impress the scouts to get a scholarship to college. It was the week of the first game so everyone at school was on a high. Tanya had gotten Mary onto the cheerleading squad and I have to say she looked great in that uniform. In the first month of school me and Mary did go out on a date, and were casually dating. During that week all the cheerleaders were in their uniforms so we did have some great eye candy that week. "You look great in that uniform," I said to Mary. "Why thank you," she said. "Hey there's a party after the game tomorrow do you want to go with me?" I asked. She replied, "sure sounds great." "Ok just wait for me after the game," I said. It was game day and all during school that day I really wasn't paying attention so I hope nothing really important was talked about. "Hey Jeremy wait up," Sam said trying to catch up to me in the hall. "Hey Sam what's up," I asked. "Do you think you could give me a ride to the party tonight? Tanya and Tim aren't going so I was wondering if I could go with you?" she asked. Great I'm taking Mary and now Sam wants me to take her. "Umm sure, I'm suppose to be taking Mary but you can come with us if you want," I said. "Oh well umm sure that be fine I guess. You really like her don't you?" she said a little upset. Man why does she have to ask me that kind of question. "Umm yea I guess, I mean I like her but I don't know if it's more than just a high school fling or not." "Yea," she replied. "Ok well just wait after the game and we'll all go," I said. "Ok see you later," she said. Game Night "Ok men tonight we're play against Poly Tech, they have a powerful high scoring offense that will give our defense a test. John Mabry is a very strong running back who was all-state last year. They also have two very fast wide receiver's that will test our corners so Jeremy and Brent as our safety's I'm going to need you two to step up tonight," coach Robinson said. "We're ready coach," me and Brent said. "Good we're going to need you. Also you two are going to split time at QB tonight. Jeremy you'll take the first possession and Brent you'll take the second. We might put you both in the together for a trick play or two. Ok everyone lets go kick some ass!" We ran out onto the field to a roaring crowd and cheerleaders cheering. Friday nights on that field is the best feeling you could have. The game started kinda slow, no one scoring until the end of the first quarter when they scored on a long run by their star. The second quarter started and it was my turn to quarterback that drive. We wanted to go out a score right away to answer their touchdown to take some of their momentum away. The first two plays were run plays and we didn't get very far only gaining 3 yards. So it was 3rd and 7 and we called a pass play, I hiked the ball and almost immediately the play broke down. The offensive line blocked just about no one so I scrambled to the right and had a guy chasing me and two linebackers coming straight at me, I knew even if I did throw it I would get creamed. Just as I was going to tuck the ball and just run for it I saw Tim come across the middle and I threw the ball right as the two linebackers hit me. Tim caught the ball and ran about 20 yards before being tackled. When I got up my left knee hurt like hell, so I limped off the field to get it looked at. While the team trainer was looking at it Brent came in and led the team down the field for a touchdown to tie the game. The trainer was looking at my knee and said that it just twisted badly but if I could get up a run without pain I could go back in. Coach told me to sit the rest of the half and I'd try to go back in the second half. We scored one more time in the first half when Brent intercepted a pass and returned it all the way for a touchdown to take the lead 14-7. During halftime coach came into the trainer's room to see me. "How you doing son?" he asked. "I'm ok its sore but I think I can play," I said not so assuringly. "Well get out there and run around a little to see how it feels and if it's ok then you'll come in and just play safety. I don't want you to play quarterback so you don't take as many hits on your knee," coach said. "Ok coach I'll go test it out," I replied. So I went out to the field to run a little and make some cuts on my knee to see how it felt. "Jeremy how's your knee," Sam called over to me. "It's just sore, I'm going to run around some to see if I can play on it," I said. "Ok well be careful," she replied with a worried expression. "Oh Jeremy are you hurt?" Mary came over and asked. "I'm ok just a little sore," I said. "Oh please be careful I don't want you to get even more hurt," she said. "Really I'm fine," I said. So I went ran around some and made a few cuts but it still hurt and coach told me he would only play me if he had to, to be safe with my knee. In the third quarter Poly dominated scoring two touchdowns and stuffing our offense until we couldn't even get a first down. Starting the fourth quarter we were behind 21-14. We scored pretty quickly when Brent threw a play action pass to Tim down the sideline to tie the score. Poly came right back and kicked a field goal on their next possession to make it 24-21 Poly. The next drive we couldn't get anything going so we had to punt. But on Poly's next drive they fumbled the ball and we got it back. After a few plays our running back Jamaal ran down the sideline 30 yards for a touchdown to take the lead 28-24.With about three minutes left in the game they got the ball back and I convinced coach to let me get back in the game. The first two plays they got first downs on running plays. They were on the 50 yard line with about 1:30 to go in the game. The next play was a pass which was caught and gained them about 15 yards and then took a time out. They were on 35 yard line with just over one minute to play. "Ok men this is why we play the game, it's time for us to step up and make a play out there. Now let's go out there and stop them!" coach said. Brent added, "lets go make a play, don't let them catch a ball and if they do hit them so hard they gonna wish they didn't come out here today. Now let's go!" We were fired up for the last minute of the game I felt like I could do anything and couldn't feel any pain in my knee. On the next play the quarterback dropped back for a pass and had to roll out because of the pass rush. When he let the ball go me and Brent both had a great jump on the ball. He undercut the receiver and jumped to try to catch the ball and just missed it tipping it with his fingers. When he tipped it it changed direction and was falling away from me so I changed direction quickly took a few steps a dove to try and catch it. I caught the ball right before I hit the ground but when I did the ball popped out and just out of my grasp. I felt terrible that I let my team down and gave Poly another opportunity, but I tried to put it out of my mind and focus on the next play. Brent came over and said, "hey just put it out of your mind, that was a tough play you did the best you could just focus on the rest of the game lets go." The next play they got 10 yards and a first down but with only 10 seconds left. So here we were 10 seconds left in the game Poly on the 25 yard line only one or two more plays left. The QB dropped back read the defense and threw to a WR running a corner route to the end zone. I read him perfectly and ran over to the receiver. The ball was overthrown and I dove at the ball and this time caught it and held onto it as I hit the ground in the end zone. The game was over and I had won it for my team, the place went wild as my teammates came running over to me celebrating. "Yea boy that's how we play football!" yelled Brent. Tim added jokingly, "good thing you made up for that drop earlier." "Man shut up," I said laughing. "Nice play son, glad you convinced me to put you back in." "Anytime coach," I replied. As we walked back to the locker room Mary came running up to me "you did, you won. You did great I'm so happy for you." "Thanks Mary, let me take a shower and I'll be ready to go to the party," I said. "Ok just hurry up," she replied. Tim was busy kissing Tanya so I figured I wouldn't wait for him and just keep walking towards the locker room. Brent was probably with a couple girls by now so I figured he'd be ok. As I got there Sam came up and gave me a hug and said, "congratulations on the win you played good, how's your knee?" "Thanks, umm its ok it's a little sore but it should be fine," I said. "Ok just don't party to hard tonight and hurt it even worse," she said. I said laughingly, "ok I won't." "I'm serious Jeremy, I don't want to see you get hurt," she said with a glare. "Ok ok I promise I'll be careful," I replied. "Now let me go take a shower and get changed so we can go to the party." "Ok I'll go wait with Mary," said Sam. I took a shower and was getting dressed when Brent came over and said, "you gonna fuck Mary tonight?" "Why is that all you think about," I replied. "Hey I'm just saying that if you wanted to she would I can see it in her eyes," he said. "Well whatever I don't know maybe I will," I said. "You'd better cause if you don't soon I will," he added. "Anyway so Tim how come you and Tanya aren't going to the party?" I asked. "What are you talking about we're going," he said. "Sam said you two weren't going that's why she asked me to take her," I replied. "Believe were going," he said. "Looks like you have two chicks who want you," Brent added. "Yea maybe she's a little jealous of Mary and doesn't want you to forget about her," Tim said. "I don't know maybe, Sam's been kinda weird since Mary has been hanging out with us," I said. "Look Sam likes you and hasn't really dated anyone that I know of, I think she's waiting for you to get your head on straight and realize that you have feelings for her," Tim said. "How many times do I have to tell you all that I don't have feelings like that for her," I said getting a little upset. "Whatever dude even I can tell you have some kind of feelings for her," Brent added. "Come on lets just go to the party," I said sighing. When I got outside I walked up to the girls, "hey you two ready to go," I said to Mary and Sam. "Yea let's go," Mary said. We got in my car and drove to the party about 20 minutes away. It was at one of the guys on the team house. We walked in to loud music and whole lot of people dancing. I got a drink and made the rounds to say hi to everyone. I went up to Ryan, whose house it was, "hey man thanks for the party." "Hey no problem, my parents were out of town so they won't know. By the way are you and Mary dating or just friends?" "We're dating," I said. "Damn I was going to ask her out, oh well I'll fine someone else," he said. "You do that," I said laughing. After talking to a few more people I decided I'd go talk to Sam to see why she made up an excuse to come to the party with me. "Hey Sam, how are you enjoying the party so far?" "It's pretty good so far," she said. I decided to play with her a little. "Oh look there's Tim and Tanya I thought they weren't going to be here?" "Oh yea umm I guess they decided to come after all," as if trying to convince me she didn't know they were going to be there. "So where's Mary?" she asked trying to change the subject. "I don't know probably off dancing somewhere, come on why don't we go dance?" So me and Sam went off and danced for awhile and then Mary came over and joined us. After a few more dances and drinks we left. First I took Sam home. "Thanks Jeremy for giving me a ride tonight, bye Mary." "Goodnight Sam," Mary said. "Cya Samantha," I said. Sam came over to my window and punched me in the arm, "you know I hate it when people call me Samantha." I just laughed. The Good Years Ch. 02 All the characters are at least 18 years old. This is a continuation of my The Good Years Ch.01. I recommend that you read that first to get to know the characters. Please leave any kind of feedback or rating, thanks. I walked into the hospital waiting room to see Brent's family talking to the doctor and looking very upset. Sam came over and gave me a hug when she saw me walk in. She was crying and said, "I'm glad your here he's hurt pretty bad." "How bad is it?" I asked. "He broke his left wrist and ankle and has a slight fracture in his right shin. They said he should be ok but probably won't be able to walk around for a few days maybe even a week or so," she said. "Well at least he's not hurt real bad. How are the people in the other car?" I asked her. "Umm I don't know I haven't heard anything about them," she replied. "Well hopefully they're ok too," I said. Then after the doctor left I went over to Brent's parents to talk to them a little and say I hoped Brent would be ok. I then went and sat down with Tim and Tanya. "Hey guys how long have you been here?" "Probably close to an hour. How come it took you so long to get here?" Tim asked. "I ah... was with umm Mary," I said. "Oh mister stud over there was with Mary," Tanya quipped. "Yea yea keep talking. Hey seriously though, can we drop the subject before Sam comes back I don't really want her to know that I had sex with Mary. It might upset her so I don't want her to know," I said. "You know she's going to find out eventually right?" Tanya said. "Yea I know but I'd rather it be later than sooner. All right here she comes let's drop it," I said. "Hey guys, Brent's parents are going to go in and see him and then we can go see him," Sam said. "Ok. So Tim did the doctor say anything about when he could play football again?" I asked. "No the doctor didn't say anything but hopefully it will be this year so he can still get a scholarship offer," Tim replied. "Yea he worked hard to get a scholarship to college. I know he had a couple offers already, hopefully he won't lose them because of this," I added. My knee started to hurt again and I must have started to rub it and have made a few grimacing faces because Sam noticed. "Is your knee still hurting Jeremy?" she asked me. "Yea it still hurts some," I replied. "You should probably have it looked at to make sure its nothing serious," she said concerned. "I will this weekend," I said. "He probably hurt it with that extra work out tonight," Tanya said with a grin. I just shot her a quick glance. Then I looked back at Sam and she gave me a look like she knew but didn't say anything. After a few more minutes of small talk his parents came out and told us we could go in and see him. So we all got up and walked to his room and I went in first. "Well isn't this a great way to get the girls at school to feel sorry for you and want to take care of you," I joked. "Yea man you know it. I'll have even more girls than before," he joked back. "How many times have I told you not to drink so much at parties and then to go and drive," Tim added. "Yea I know man, I'm not going to do it anymore," Brent said. "Well I'm just glad you're ok," Tanya said. "Yea it could have been a lot worse you got lucky, but I'm glad you're ok," Sam added. "Thanks guys," Brent said. "That's what we're here for. Did the doctor say when you could play football again?" I asked. "He said my wrist should be ok in 3-4 weeks but I would have to wear a brace on it. My ankle will take about 2 months and then it might not be strong enough to run on it fully. And my shin should be ok in about a month. So I'll probably be out until the last few games of the season, so you guys better make the playoffs so I have a chance to come back and play this year," Brent joked. "We'll do our best," I replied. "Ok well we'll let you get some rest, and probably come see you tomorrow," Tanya said. "Ok see you all later," Brent said. So we all left and went home. The next morning I did my usual house chores and then decided to call Mary. "Hello," she answered. "Hey Mary it's me," I said. "Hey baby, last night was great," she said as I could tell she was smiling on the other side of the phone. "Yea I had a great time too. Ah Brent was in a car accident last night," I said. "Oh my god is he ok," she asked concerned. "Yea he'll be fine. He has a few broken bones but he should be fine in a few months. I'm going over to the hospital to get my knee looked at and then to see him. Do you want to go?" "Umm yea sure I'll go. When are you planning on going over?" she asked. "Probably in an hour, so I'll come by and pick you up and like 30 minutes ok?" "Yea that sounds good," she replied. "Ok see you in a little while, bye," I said. "Ok I'll be ready, bye," she said. I finished my chores then went to my room to get dressed. After that I told my mom where I was going then hopped in my car to go get Mary. "Hey baby," she said as she got in the car. "Hey," I replied. "When did you find out Brent was in an accident?" she asked. "Last night after I got home, I looked at my phone and had a bunch of messages from Tim and Sam," I said. "How come you didn't call me and tell me?" she asked. "I don't know I didn't really think about it I guess I just wanted to get to the hospital as fast as I could. You don't mind though do you?" "No I guess not but it would've been nice if someone told me," she replied. "I'm sorry I didn't call you then. Look we've all been friends since we we're little. I mean me and Sam has been friends since the 1st grade, then she became friends with Tanya a few years later and around the same time me, Tim and Brent all became friends. When me and Sam found out that Tim and Tanya liked each other we kinda set them up and been hanging out together since then. It's a little hard for us to let someone else into our group because it's always just been us. I guess I just didn't think about it. I'm still getting use to the fact that I have a regular girlfriend now. So I'm sorry but we're here now so let me just get my knee looked at then we'll go see Brent," I said. "Ok fine," she said. With that we walked into the hospital and I signed in and sat down to wait to be seen. After about 10 minutes the doctor came out and told me to follow him. He led me into an exam room and had me take a seat. "Ok let's take a look," he said to me. He had me stretch it out and felt around some, and then had me turn and twist it to see if he could feel anything out of place. "Well its seems to me that you just twisted it. It doesn't seem to be any internal damage but I'm going to take an MRI just to be safe," he said. "Ok thanks doc." He had a nurse take me down to the MRI room and put me into the machine. After a few moments I was done and they said they would call with the results in a few days. I went back out to the waiting room to get Mary. "Ok I'm done we can go see Brent now," I said. "How'd everything go?" she asked. "The doctor said everything felt fine but took an MRI just to be safe. They'd let me know in a few days," I said. "Well I hope you're ok. Alright let's stop talking about you and go find Brent," she said with a smile. We took the short walk to his room to find Sam already there. "Hey Sam," Mary said. "Hi Mary," Sam replied. "Brent how are you doing? I would have been here last night or at least called you but someone didn't tell me," Mary said referring to me. Brent replied laughing, "I'll be ok. And really it's ok that you come last night I had plenty of support," he added. "Well I do hope you recover fast and get back out on the football field soon," she said. "Yea I hope so too. Jeremy how's your knee? Sam said you were going to get it looked at today," he asked. "Yea I just had it looked at, the doctor said that it was probably fine but took a MRI just to be safe," I answered. "Hopefully you'll be ok because the team can't stand to lose both of us," he said. "Yea at worst I might miss only 1 game. And this week we play Kenwood who is one of the worst teams in the conference, so the team should be ok even if I can't play." "You'd better play, I need my boyfriend to be the star on the football team," Mary said. "Jeremy just make sure you're ready to come back and not risk hurting your knee again," Sam said concerned. "I'm not going to risk hurting it even more so if it still hurts later in the week I won't play. Plus Mary I'll be the star as long as Brent is out anyway and even when he comes back I'll still be the star," I said jokingly. "You wish you were the star," Brent said laughing. "Plus I get to hang out with the cheerleaders during the game," he added. "All the cheerleaders know your game and couldn't care less if you were around. You need to stick with the freshman," Sam said. "Because that's all you could get anyway," she added. "Oo look at Sam with the jokes," Brent said. "You know that if I came onto you you wouldn't be able to resist me," he added. "You must be on some powerful pain medicine because you're hallucinating," she replied. We all laughed at that one. "I was wondering Sam, how come you don't have a boyfriend?" Mary asked her. "I don't know I guess no one has asked me out who I'm interested in," Sam said. "Well during school this week I'm going to find I guy for you," Mary said. "Ok good luck," Sam replied like she couldn't care less. We talked for a little while longer then we left. Nothing real interesting happened during the week until Friday which was the day of our next game. That day in the morning Mary came up to me and wanted to talk. "Are you going to play tonight? The MRI came back fine right?" she asked. "Yea it came back clean but I'm going to sit out tonight just as a precautionary," I said. "What are you chicken, you could play if you wanted to," she said disappointedly. "Yea I probably could but I don't want to risk it," I said. "Yea whatever. So where are we going after the game?" she asked. "I thought we'd just hang out at my place or yours, is that ok?" I said. "Yea I guess that's fine, I'll see you later," she said a little angrily and walked away. Just as she walked away Sam was walking towards me and saw Mary upset so she decided to ask what was up. "Hey why's Mary so upset?" she asked. I shrugged and said, "I told her I didn't want to go anywhere tonight but just to hang out with her. And I guess she wanted to go out because she got a little upset at that, then she got upset when I said I wasn't playing tonight to rest my knee and she got mad with that. She really wanted me to play tonight for some reason." "Well she's just a party girl and probably wanted to go out tonight. But that's not your style to go partying all the time," she said. "Yea I know that's the problem. She wants to party all the time and that's just not me." I sighed and said, "I don't know I mean I like her we're just different. I guess opposites attract huh?" "Yea I guess so. I'm glad you're resting your knee tonight you don't want to hurt it anymore," she said. "Yea tonight we should be able to win anyway," I said. "Ok well I have to get to class so I'll see you tonight," she said. "Yea cya later." The rest of the school day went by rather quickly. That night I went to pick up Mary at her house and she came out looking great in her cheerleading uniform. "Wow you look great," I said to Mary as she got in the car. "I know," she said smugly. I just laughed. "Do you think we could stop at the park before we go to the game?" she asked. "Um yea sure I guess, as long as we're not there to long," I said. "We won't be," she replied with a twinkle in her eye. I pulled into a secluded spot into the park and asked, "so why did you want to come to the park?" "I wanted to say sorry for the way I acted earlier today at school," she said. "Oh well its ok. But why did we have to do it here in the park?" I asked. "So I could do this." She leaned over kissed me and placed her hand on my crotch. That made me jump a little because I wasn't expecting it but I of course wasn't complaining. As she was kissing me I started to grope at her chest, which made her moan a little. She managed to unbutton my jeans and had me sit up so she could pull them down. She was rubbing my dick through my shorts as I pulled off her uniform top. She unbuttoned my boxers and pulled my dick out. "I didn't get a chance to do this last time so I'll have to make up for it now," she said with a big smile on her face. "Maybe I should make you mad more often," I replied. "Maybe you should," she said. I took off her bra and was fondling her tits when she put my dick into her mouth. She licked all around my head even swirling around my pee hole. She was also jerking me off as well. While she continued to lick and jerk me I was playing with her nipples, twisting and pulling on them. Rubbing them in between my fingers, I took my other hand and found my way between her legs. I pulled her panties aside and rubbed my fingers into her pussy lips. "Mmm yea that's it keep going," she said. She started to bob up and down on my cock now and sucking gently. "Oh yea girl, you're the best I've ever had do this," I said. She came up with a big smile then said, "ok enough of this I need you in me. Lean your seat back." So I did and she climbed over onto my lap and continued kissing me. She grabbed my cock and positioned it with her opening and slowly lowered herself down on top of me. We started out slow her moving up and down slowly to get use to my size. Then she picked up the pace some and really started moving. She sounded closer than I was so I started to thrust up into her. "Oh yea baby keep doing that. Mmmm yea, oh yesss," she moaned. I was really putting all I had into it at this moment thrusting up as hard as I could. "Ooooh I'm gonna cum. Ooooh yesss ahhhhh." I could feel her pussy muscles tightened and that pushed me over the edge and I sprayed the inside of her pussy with my cum. "Oh Jeremy that was great," he said. "Just wait until my knee is better and we have a bed to have sex on then wait and see," I replied. "Ooo I can't wait," she said happily. "Me either. Alright we'd better get cleaned up and get to the game so we're not late," I said. "Ok let's go," she replied. We got cleaned up and I made the drive to the school about 30 minutes before the game started. That may sound early but we were supposed to be there an hour before the game. "Jeremy I know you're not playing tonight but you still have to get here on time," Coach Robinson said to me as I walked into the locker room. "I know I'm sorry coach just running a little late tonight." "Alright well I'm going to need you to send in the signals for the defense tonight and keep the guys focused, can you do that for me?" he asked. "Sure thing coach," I replied. "Good now get out there with you're teammates," he said. So I made my way out onto the field to where the team was stretching and warming up. "Ok guys tonight you will have to step up with me and Brent out for the game. They have a great Quarterback but not much else so don't let their receivers get open or he will be able to find them. Coach said we're going to go bump and run tonight so Larry and Mike as the safeties tonight you'll have to be ready for anything over our corners head," I told them. "Yea we'll be ready," they both said. "We should be able to blow them out tonight but if their Quarterback gets on a roll then we're going to be in trouble so don't let that happen," I told them. Now I'm not that much of a motivator when it comes to getting the guys prepared for a game but the coach wanted me to so I did. We went back into the locker room for Coach's pep talk and for the team to finish getting ready. "Alright men lets go out there and play a great game tonight. Offense we're going to attack them through the air since they have a weak defense. And defense, you all need to step up with Brent and Jeremy out. But I have complete confidence in you all so let's go out there and play our game. If we do that we will have no problem in beating them tonight. Hands in, win on 3," he said. "1...2...3... win!" we all said in unison. Then the team went running out of the locker room and through the large banner that we make the freshman make for us every game. The stands were roaring as usual. Man I love that feeling coming on to the field in front of the roaring fans. The team continued to warm up on the field as I went over to the cheerleaders to say hi to Sam. "Hey Sam what are you doing tomorrow?" I asked her. "I don't have anything planned why?" she said. "My parents are having one last cookout before it gets to cold and they said to invite you guys, so can you come?" I said. "Yea that sounds fun what time should I get there?" she asked. "It's at 2pm so you can come whenever," I said. "Ok sounds great", she replied. "Mary did you hear what I told Sam," I asked Mary. "Yea I heard, I'll be there. So I'll get to meet my boyfriend's parents tomorrow huh?" she said with a smile. "Yea so you better behave," I joked with her. "Whatever do you mean? I'm always a good girl," she replied. "Oh yea sure you are," I said. Even Sam laughed at that. "Alright I have to get back with the team so I'll see you after the game," I said. "Ok cya," Mary replied. I made it over to the team right before the game was about to start. We started the game out strong. On the opening kickoff we returned it to about mid-field. Then the next three plays we gained 10 yards on each of them and then we got a touchdown on a pass which Tim caught. Their first drive went nowhere and we got the ball back and did the same thing they did. The rest of the first quarter went like that, neither team doing much. In the second quarter we intercepted a pass which put us in a good position to score. Which we did that drive with a 20 yard run by Jamaal our running back. We kicked a field goal a few minutes later to make it 17-0 with a few minutes to go in the half. They did manage to get a touchdown when their wide receiver out ran our cornerback, and Mike was out of position to defend the play, which didn't make Coach Robinson to happy. "What the hell are you doing out there!? There's no way they should have scored on that play! Jeremy during the second half I want you to direct the safeties to help them out there," he said to me. "Sure thing coach," I said. As we walked back to the locker room for half time I went up to Mike. "Look Mike don't let it get you down, we all make bad plays once and awhile. Just stay back and don't jump on routes until he releases it then go after the receiver," I told him. As we sat down in the locker room he said, "yea I know. I don't know why I jumped on the crossing route, he had a great pump fake and he got me." "It's cool just stay back and you'll be fine. They shouldn't be able to beat us anyway; we're up 17-3. Just don't let the receivers get behind you," I told him. Our coach had a few more choice words for the guys then it was time to get back out onto the field. The third quarter began and they started where they left off scoring a touchdown on their first drive to make the score 17-10. Our next two drives didn't do much but our defense was able to stop them as well. They got the ball back with 5 minutes left in the third quarter deep in their own territory. They started out running the ball and picked up a few first downs. On the next play their quarterback dropped back and had to roll out because we had a good pass rush that play.

Mary had been standing in the doorway for who knows how long and apparently heard our conversation, especially the part about me and Sam kissing. "Umm I think I'd better leave, I guess you two want to talk," Sam said. "Yea you little bitch I need to talk to my boyfriend," Mary said getting upset. "Hey don't talk to her like that Mary. It's as much my fault as it is her fault that we kissed," I said. "Look I'm just going to go. I'm sorry Mary," Sam said as she walked out of the house. "You don't have to get all upset at her," I said. "Why don't I have to get upset at her? She kissed you, and you're my boyfriend you're not supposed to be kissing anyone but me." "I know I'm not and it was a mistake. Don't blame it all on her, I could have easily stopped her and I didn't." "Well what happened to get you two to kiss?" she asked. So I went on to tell her how it all went down. From we decided to hang out after game to watching a movie together. To even us cuddling on the couch, which she wasn't to happy about by the way, and then to us kissing after the movie. "So did anything else happen after you kissed?" she asked starting to cry. "No nothing happened after that, she actually got up and left," I said as I gave her a hug. "I'm sorry Mary I shouldn't have kissed her and you're my girlfriend. And she knows that too," I said. "I'm just upset that I had to find out in the way I did I wish you would have told me," she said. "I know I understand, and honestly I'm sorry. It was just a kiss and that's all it was," I said. "And really this was the first time Sam and I had a chance to talk about it." She was still crying so I asked, "what's wrong?" "I'm worried that you do have feelings for Sam. I know you said you didn't but now that you kissed her I can't help but think you do." I sighed and said, "I'm sorry that I made you feel that way but really I don't, it was just a bad moment of judgment for me and before I realized it we were kissing. It lasted only 5 or 10 seconds and it was over." "Ok," was all she said. I continued to hold her in my arms for a few more minutes to try and calm her down. "How is your grandmother doing by the way?" "She's doing ok, they released her from the hospital a few hours ago. I actually came right over here after we took her home," she said. "Well I'm glad she's ok," I replied. "Thanks," she said. We just kinda spent the rest of the night spending time with each other talking, me trying to do whatever I could to make up for Sam. We actually watched a movie together, I know right? The last time I watched a movie with a girl I got in trouble. But no everything went smoothly the rest of the night and on Sunday. Monday, the first day back at school, was going to be a different story though. "So did you hear what happened Saturday night after you left?" I asked Tim as we were on our way to class. "Yea I heard. Man that sucks for you. How are you and Mary?" "We should be ok, but she's still pissed at Sam. So if you and Tanya are with Sam try and avoid us," I said. "Yea how is it going to work out with you two? Sam and you I mean." "I don't know yet. I want to stay friends but it'll have to be once Mary cools off," I said. "Yea I understand. I'll tell Tanya to not bring it up if she's around Mary," Tim said. "Ok thanks." We went to class and luckily me, Sam and Mary don't have any classes together or things could have gotten ugly. But we don't so I was grateful. I met up with Mary during lunch. "Hey how was your morning?" I asked. "It was good, especially since I didn't have to see that slut Sam." This is going to be harder than I thought to stay friends with Sam. "Can you please stop talking about her like that?" I asked. "I'm sorry but she is, I'm still mad at her," she replied. "Ok well let's just go sit over there," I said. "Why can't we just go sit with Tim and Tanya?" she asked. "Umm because Sam will be sitting with them," I said. "So, she'll just have to go somewhere else," she said. And as she said that she walked off and sat down next to Tanya. Well this should be interesting. "Hey guys," I said, giving them looks like, "I have no idea what is going to happen," as I sat next to Mary. We sat there for a few minutes before Sam appeared in the cafeteria. She got her food and started toward "our" table. Mary noticed her too and just glared at her daring her to come near the table. Sam looked at me and I mouthed a "sorry." She gave me a little smile and turned and walked away to another table. The rest of the day went without incident, and the rest of the week too. There were some hard glances from Mary in the direction of Sam and more mouthed "sorry's" from me, but other than that nothing happened during the week. The night of the game that week worried me because Sam and Mary are both cheerleaders and would have to interact at least somewhat. Friday after school I decided to give Sam a call. "Hey Sam it's me," I said. "Hey Jeremy how's it been?" she asked. "I've been ok. I just wanted to call and apologize for the way Mary has been acting this week, she's just still upset and all." "It's ok I understand, if it had happened to me I would have been upset too," she said. "Ok well really I am sorry that everything went down like this. But tonight at the game could you umm I don't know like avoid Mary or something because she's still mad and I don't know what's gonna happen." "Yea sure no problem, I'll stay out of her way," Sam said. "Ok thanks, I'll cya later." "Yea cya tonight," she replied. I hung up the phone, grabbed my stuff and went out the door to pick up Mary for the game. I pulled up to Mary's house about 15 to 20 minutes later. "Hey honey," she said as she got in the car. "Hey," was all I said. We drove without talking for a few minutes before she broke the silence. "Is something wrong? You're awfully quiet." "Ah nothing I guess, just thinking," I said. "What you thinking about?" she said. "Umm nothing just forget it." "No really tell me," she said. "I guess I was ah just thinking what might happen with you and umm Sam being near each other tonight," I said cautiously. "Why are you thinking about that slut? Don't worry as long as she doesn't come near me I won't mess with that bitch," she said angrily. "Look please stop talking about her like that, she's my friend." "Well she is I can't help it. And maybe you shouldn't be friends with her anymore if she's going to come between us," she said. "Ok for one she's not a slut and two she's not going to come between us. It was one meaningless kiss that's all. I've been dealing with her feelings for me for awhile and I haven't had any problems of it getting between any relationships that I've had." "Still I don't trust her and I don't want you around her," she replied. I sighed and said, "look were here at the school lets talk about it after the game, ok?" "Ok that's fine I'll see you later," she said as she got out of the car. I drove around to the other side of the school where the locker room was to get ready for the game. In the locker room I was getting ready putting my gear on when Brent came up to me. "Hey man you ready for tonight?" he asked. "Yea but how bout you, your first game back on the sidelines?" "I just wish I could play and not hobble along with these crutches," he said. "You'll be back in another month or so right?" I asked. "I get off the crutches in 2 weeks, and then I have to have a special boot on my foot for another 2 weeks after that. So yea in a month or so I'll be ok to do normal stuff but not football. It'll be longer until I'm cleared to play but it should be at the end of the season or the state playoffs." "It's a good thing your accident wasn't more serious," I said. "Yea I know me too." Right as we finished talking it just about time to get out on the field. Coach gave his usual pep talk and then we went running out onto the field to a chorus of boos. Even at a rival school it was still great running out onto that field. With Brent still being out I was going to start at QB the whole game and wouldn't play much at Safety. They got the ball first and moved down the field pretty well until Kyle, our defensive end, busted through on third down and sacked their QB forcing them to punt the ball. After the punt we had the ball at the 25 yard line. They had a weak run defense so we set out to establish our running game early on. And that is just what we did. We had runs of 15, 12, 23 and 19 yards on 4 straight plays to get us down to their 4 yard line. The next play was an option run. I took the snap and started running left, their linebacker following me trying to decide whether to tackle me or wait for me to pitch it. I knew he was uncertain so I faked the pitch to the RB and cut back to the right and ran in untouched for the touchdown. He bought the fake and when I cut back he wasn't in a position to make a play on me. After the PAT we were up 7-0. As I came over to the sideline the Coach congratulated me, "good drive son, good drive." "Yea you almost looked as good as me out there," Brent said. "If I was you I would have run over to the cheerleaders and kissed one of them," I said. He smiled and said, "yea that is my favorite touchdown celebration." "It's not theirs though," I joked back. "Hey I never heard any complaining." As we were talking, the crowd started cheering wildly. I looked up just in time to see them running into the end zone. They had returned the kickoff to tie the score 7-7. So after we returned the kickoff to the 30 yard line I went back out for another drive. We went right back to the running game. We were doing a good job running the ball and got to their 40 yard line. We ran two straight plays without much success, so on 3rd down with 8 yards to go Coach called a passing play. Unfortunately they knew we had to pass and they blitzed 3 extras guys that play. Almost as soon as I got the ball a linebacker and a defensive lineman tackled me for a loss of 5 yards. We did manage to get off a good punt, pinning them down at their own 15 yard line, ending the first quarter with the score tied 7-7. Our defense did a great job making them go 3 and out. They punted the ball and luckily for them our return man couldn't catch it and had to chase the ball down and finally fell on it all the way back at our own 20 yard line. It had been a 60 yard punt for them! So needless to say Coach wasn't too happy about it. "What the hell are you doing out there? Didn't you learn how to catch in peewee football? Jeremy get out there and move the ball down the field!" We abandoned the running game that drive and threw on just about every play. First I threw over the middle to Tim for a gain of 15 yards to the 35 yard line. Then we did a screen pass to the RB who picked up 23 yards after the catch. We were at their 42 yard line with about 10 minutes left in the half. The only time we ran the ball that drive was the next two plays which got us 6 then 9 yards down to the 25 yard line. On the very next play I hit Tim over the middle at the 5 yard line and he ran the rest for a touchdown. The PAT made it 14-7 with a little under 8 minutes in the half. When they got the ball back they did the same thing we did by throwing just about every play. Our defense did hold up though to force a field goal attempt. Their kicker made the 40 yard field goal look easy to make the score 14-10 with 4 minutes to play. After the kickoff we went into the hurry up offense. I connected with Larry, our other wide receiver, on three straight plays to get into their territory. Then their defense shut down and we just barley got a first down. Their defense shut us down again on the next two plays forcing incompletion's. We were in field goal range so even if we didn't get a first down we could try for that, but I wanted a touchdown. It was 3rd down with a little less than 2 minutes to go. I hiked the ball, faked the handoff to the RB then looked down field for an open receiver. A linebacker was blitzing and no one picked him up, so I just threw the ball into the end zone where I hoped Tim would be. I got hit right as I let go of the ball. While I was lying on the ground Tim chased the ball down and leaped into the end zone as the football landed softly in his hands. He made an incredible catch to extend our lead to 21-10. "Great job to take the hit and still deliver the throw! Good job," Coach said as I walked over to our bench. "Yea man that was a great throw," Tim said. "All I did was throw it and hope you could catch up to it. You made the great catch," I replied. "Yea looked like me out there, making a great play," Brent added. Tim rolled his eyes and said, "no if I were you I would have..." "I know I know went over and kissed a cheerleader, Jeremy already used that on me," Brent cutting him off before he could finish. "You guys know me to well," he added. The half ended so we went to the locker rooms to rest and get ready for the second half. "We're almost there men, just a few more points and the game will be ours. Let's keep our focus and go out and finish them off," Coach said to us. "What are you doing after the game?" Brent asked me. "I don't know why what's up?" I replied. "Well some people were coming over so I wanted to see if you Mary wanted to come too." "Umm yea ok sounds good I'll see if she wants to," I said. By then it was time to get back out onto the field. They got the ball first but on the first play they threw an interception and we returned it all the way for a touchdown. It was now 28-10. They got the ball back but didn't do much and had to punt. On the way onto the field Coach stopped me and said, "We score here and the game is over, now go get it done." "Sure thing Coach," was all I said. And that is just what we did. I found Tim streaking over the middle and hit him in stride and the defense never had a chance to catch him. We were up 35-10 with 9 minutes left in the third quarter. "That's it men it's ours, good job," Coach said as we came over to the sideline. Coach then put in the younger players to give them some experience. The other team did manage to get a touchdown and a field goal to make the score 35-20 but we scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter to truly put the game away. The final seconds ticked off and we had won 42-20. "Great effort out there tonight guys, real good effort. Now we're 3-0 and getting some momentum going and let's keep it going next week. Now go out tonight and have some fun, but don't do anything stupid," Coach said jokingly. I got changed and headed out to the parking lot expecting to be greeted by Mary but instead Sam was there. "Oh hey Sam what... what are you doing here?" I asked. "Well that's a great way to greet a friend," she said sarcastically. "Yea sorry I just wasn't expecting to see you that's all," I replied. "No its ok, I just wanted to say that you played well and congratulate you," she said. "Oh well thanks I guess I did ok." "You won the game didn't you?" she said. "Not all by myself, I had a lot of help." "Well you did a lot to help then," she said. "Yea maybe," I replied. "Ok well I'll see you later," she said. "Alright cya," I said. Just as she was walking away Mary and Tanya were walking towards me. "What did she want?" Mary asked. "Please stop being like this. She just congratulated me on the win that's all," I said. "Umm so where's Tim?" Tanya asked trying to change the subject. "I guess he's still inside. Do you want us to wait with you for him?" "No its ok go ahead he should be out soon," she said. We all said goodbye and me and Mary started walking towards my car. "Brent is having some people over his house tonight, do you want to go?" I asked her. "Is Sam going to be there?" "Umm I don't know, I hadn't really thought about if she was going to be there or not." "I don't want to go if she's going to be there," she said. "Even if she is there could we just go and enjoy being with our friends, and we can even avoid her if you want," I said. She thought about it for a minute then said, "yea I guess we can go. Just don't expect me to be nice to her if she is there." I chuckled a little and said, "ok that's fine." So we got in my car and drove over to Brent's house. I pulled up and noticed that there weren't too many cars there. "I guess everyone will be coming later," I thought. We got out of the car and walked up to the house. "Oh hi Jeremy come on in. Brent is out back on the deck," Brent's mom said to me. "Thanks Ms. Monica," I said and we headed out to the backyard. "Hey man what's up," I said to Brent. "Hey man, hi Mary how you doing?" Brent asked. "I'm fine how bout you?" "I'm doing good. You guys want something to drink?" he asked. We said sure and he went to get us a few drinks. When he came back he gave us the drinks and sat down. "A few more people are supposed to be coming they must be running late from the game," he said. "Yea, who all are supposed to coming?" Mary asked. "Tim, Tanya and maybe another person or two." I looked at him and he looked at me and I thought, "no fucking way did he invite her knowing me and Mary was going to be there." And wouldn't you know that just as I was thinking that Tim and Tanya walked out back followed by Sam. "Hey guys bout time you showed up," Brent said. "Yea someone took forever getting ready after the game," Tanya said. "Hey I had to look good for my girl," Tim said. "You always look good," she said. "Shut up and get a room you two," I said. "Don't tempt me," Tanya said smiling. "Hell no, you two aren't doing anything in my house," Brent added That got a good laugh out of everyone. "You guys want a drink?" Brent asked the new guests. "Sure, thanks," Tanya said. "Yea," Tim and Sam said. "Ok I'll be back," he said. "Let me give you a hand Brent," I added. We walked into the kitchen to get the drinks. "What the hell are you thinking having Mary and Sam both here?" I asked. "They have to work it out eventually," he said. "Yea but shouldn't that be in a public place with more witnesses?" "They'll be fine," he replied. "I'm not worried about Sam I'm worried about what Mary might do." "Come on guys what's taking so long getting the drinks?" Tim asked walking into the room. "Dude you left them alone in there?" I asked. "Yea so what?" he replied. "Uh because Mary is still upset with Sam and it might not be to smart leaving them alone," I said. "Tanya is out there with them, she'll keep them under control," Tim said. "Yea man she is the first one to come and help if we need it," Brent added. "That's true, maybe she can get them to work it out then," I said. Well wouldn't you guess that as we finished talking we heard yelling coming from outside. "Great I was afraid of this," I said as we made our way out back. "Hey cant you two just work it out calmly," Tanya pleaded. "No not until the bitch apologizes," Mary yelled. "I have apologized Mary, more than once," Sam replied. "Mary you know she has said she's sorry and I have too. Now why can't you just let it go, it was one little kiss," I said. "Because the bitch said that it wasn't just a meaningless kiss, that it meant something for her."
