Secrets

Chapter 10

Chance

I run into the locker room to grab my backpack. I finally get to my locker and it is like I can not breath. I am about to walk the girl of my dreams to her apartment and even stay with her for a little bit. Do I need to order food? What about drinks? Does she even want me to be there? My mind was racing with everything that I was thinking. Before I knew what was happening Jett walked up to me with his backpack just grinning at me.

“Dude, you finally get to hang with the girl. I am so proud of you for suggesting it.” Jett slapped my should as we started back to Coach’s office. I was not sure why but I was glad he was proud of me but I was also thinking maybe he would get to see that girl that he really liked which is Lisa’s roommate.

“Maybe you can get your girl while we are at the apartment also.”

“Nah man. I really like Cameron, but I am so out of her class. I will just be your chaperon tonight. I will not get my hopes up that she will ever like me like I like her. “ Jett stated as he walked through Coach’s door.

“Good the two of you are back. I just want you both to know that I am entrusting you with the most precious thing that I have. If either one of you hurt my daughter I will make sure that you run stadiums at every practice for the rest of the season. And I mean both of you will be doing that.” Coach glared at the two of us when we finally made it into the inner sanctum. Coach had his arm around Lisa’s shoulders as he sat on the coach right beside her kinda like they had been talking and we interrupted them.

“Do you need us to give you some time Coach? We can go get the car that way we do not have to walk.” I waved over to the door as I asked coach if that was what he wanted me to do. I was hoping he would say no and that I could take his place beside Lisa on the couch.

“No, Lisa really needs to get home so that she can get some rest. Rest is what helps her when she has these episodes. Here is some money to get some pizza if you want and some drinks. I know none of you have had anything to eat yet tonight.” Coach was reaching into his back pocket for his wallet as he said all of this. I could not refuse because he is my coach and I knew he was not completely sure what to do for his daughter.
