Chapter 5

After school, we all hung out at the football field and watched Nickolas's football practice. Sarah, who has no idea what the object of football is, was hollaring her head off! "GO Nicky!" she yelled. "Uhh. Sarah?" I said. "What?" she replied. "Nickolas just got tackled." Her mouth dropped. "Oh my gawd is my baby ok?" "He's fine Sarah. Calm down." I laughed. Alex was sitting next to me on the bleachers. "So. Do you know how to play football?" "Are you kidding?" I said "I taught Nickolas how to play when me and him were 5!" Sarah looked at me and smiled. "My man's all buff and stuff." I laughed "OK Sarah. You keep on thinking that!" She nudged me and laughed. Alex smiled "So how long have you all known eachother?" Sarah opened her mouth to answer but I cut her off. "Well I've known Nickolas all my life. His mom and my mom are best friends. Sarah moved here about 5 years ago. Me and Sarah hit it off great. We're best friends also. I introduced Nickolas and Sarah about 2 years ago. And ever since last year, they've been going out." He kinda chuckled. "I see." Sarah interupped "And if it wasn't for Junior here I wouldn't have found the love of my life." She smiled. "No prob Bob" I said. I looked out at the field and noticed that practice was over. "Well. They're done. Heh." I said. Just the Nickolas popped his head into my face. "Hey Junior!" he yelled. "GEEZ Nickolas. Give me a heart attack why don't you?" Nickolas laughed and said "Nah. I wouldn't do that." he put his arms around Sarah's waist and picked her up off of the bleaches and put her at his side. I'm so jealous of them. I envy Sarah. She has a great guy, perfect love. And I have nothing. All I have is a friendship with a guy that i want to bloom into love. But I told myself 'That will never happen'.
