It's the first practice after our small Christmas break. School starts in one week but coach loves dragging our asses back too early, specifically on New Year's Eve.

The locker room is full of the boys talking non-stop with each other. I pull my training shirt over my head, facing my locker to ignore everyone until I hear some whisper.

I turn my head, noticing a few of the guys staring at me.

"The fuck are you guys looking at?" I snarl at them. The cowards turn around, only our captain, Brody, has the gut to take a step forward and talk.

"Is it true you went out with the cheer captain?" He asks which catches Xavier's interest because he knows this probably won't end well, nothing does when someone mentions our girls.

"Diana?" He nods his head in answer "and where the fuck did you hear that?" I take another step towards him. Xavier places his hand on my shoulder, stopping me from whatever he thinks I'm going to do.

"Take it easy man, the whole school is talking about it" he chuckles before walking up to me.

"Yeah dude, congrats though she's hot" I hear John say behind Brody.

"Exactly! I bet she's tight as fuck, I'd tap that-" I can't even register any more words before I grab onto his collar and walk him backwards until his back hits the wall.

"Woah woah woah" Xavier grabs the back of my shirt and pulls me off of him, pulling me away from the guys. "Hey, he's not worth it"

"I'll fucking kill him" I mumble to my best friend.

"Yeah, the fuck man, I want to slice his throat too for saying that about Di, but no, control yourself" Xavier tells me "you can't risk getting benched, the team can't risk it. We'll lose this season without you"

I push him away, grabbing my helmet and get the fuck out of there.

Running out to the field, I meet the coach who stops me.

"Miles! I heard about the big date with that Blanchet girl" his smile is bigger than usual when he mentions it.

"God, not again" I mumble under my breath before nodding my head.

"Isn't she the cheerleading captain?"

"Yeah" I nod and he pays my shoulder with his palm.

"I'll tell you what, if you decide to continue dating the cheer cap it would make us look really good for press, especially if you were the captain" that certainly catched my interest

"Keep her around, Carter, and I might kick Brody off as captain and give you that role"

His words gets stuck in my head for the rest of the practice. Am I actually considering this? Fuck yeah I am. Being captain is my dream and it will look great for bigger, professional teams that could call me in after I'm done with college. Besides, I wouldn't mind taking it from Brody at the moment.
