Chapter two: Game night

Chapter two: Game night (Faith's POV)

My alarm rang at six. I have to get up earlier since we're still setting up. I threw on a hoodie and a pair of Nike shorts before grabbing my keys and phone with a cup of iced water and heading out. I pulled up into the pretty much empty school parking lot in my black Camaro. I walked into the field with the sun peeking through and sat down on the bleachers, taking a moment to myself. 

"Someone's up early," Alex's voice shot through my ears as he sat down beside me. 

"Everyone's supposed to be here any minute so," I shrugged. 

"You do know that no one will show up this early, right?" he asked me. 

"Yes, I'm aware," I sighed while pulling my hood over my head. 

"Take a nap," he shrugged making my head turn in his direction. "No one's going to be here and when they are, I'll wake you up," he explained. 

"And fall for your trick where you leave me sleeping? No thank you," I laughed. 

"Come on, I'm not that cruel. I'll wake you up. I swear." He extended his pinky out. 

"I'll be fine, Alex," I laughed. 

"If you say so," he sighed while standing up. "I'm gonna go get some breakfast, want some?" he asked.

Did the sun rise from the west today? 

"I'll just get a fruit cup, thanks," I replied tiredly. Our school doesn't have the best food but it's certainly not the worst. I stick to fruit cups. I watched the sun peek out a little more while he came back. 

"So, are you gonna stay for the game tonight? Or just set up and go?" he asked while taking a piece of pineapple from my fruit bowl. 

"Are you really trying to start a conversation with me?" I looked at him in disbelief. 

He shrugged before eating his french toast. 

"Who are you and what have you done with Alex?" I narrowed my eyes down at him. He chuckled but I didn't. "I'm being serious," I said. 

"Oh, you are? Um-" he stuttered, "I-I don't know. It's more fun being a dick when people are watching." 

Well, that doesn't make any sense. 

"So who exactly are you when no one's watching?" I questioned.

"Alex," he answered. 

"Oh really? Couldn't have guessed," I scoffed. 

"No, but seriously, are you staying for the game?" he repeated. 

I shrugged, "Yeah, probably. Why?" I asked. 

"Amber's not coming." 

Huh? 

"What?" I thought out loud. 

"Amber's not gonna be here for the game." 

I got that you freaking genius. 

"She's your girlfriend and she's not coming?" I questioned. "Why isn't she coming?" I asked. 

"She said she had this important thing with her family but I don't know." 

My mind went back to what Hayley said. I should probably look into it. "Do you really care?" I pressed further. 

"No, but she has my jersey. And a sign for me." Now he's talking. "She's gonna drop the jersey by but uh- I need someone to hold the sign." 

I rolled my eyes, "Are you serious?" I questioned.
