Falling Into Place
chapter 18.
Anna's POV
I walked to the bleachers on the back field at the school and sat in the very first row. Only five minutes until the game started. I could feel my heart pounding and my body shaking. I hope this works. All he has to do is score the winning touchdown. I said that like it was easy. Luckily Donny was on the football team and agreed to help Kevin after he almost let out our secret the first time. The refs blew the whistle and all of the players walked onto the field. My eyes immediately picked out Kevin, lucky number 21. They all got into a line and the whistle blew once again. The player hiked the ball and the game began. I don't watch football so I didn't know what was going on, but when people from my school cheered, I did too. At half time we were down 15- 0. I looked at the other fans in the bleachers and spotted Kayla. She wasn't as dressed up as she usually was. No face paint, no ribbons in her hair, no team shirts. I remember our first football game ever.

"Okay we are going all out for this game." Kayla said as she barged into my bedroom. I watched her plop onto my bed with a bag in her hand.
"What's in the bag?" I asked. She always had a surprise up her sleeve. She opened the bag and started removing stuff.
"These are supplies. Maroon and gold ribbons for our hair, red and yellow face paint because they didn't have maroon or gold, and for you a maroon shirt, and for me a gold shirt!" She said happily. I looked at the stuff laid out on my bed and then back at her. "What?" She asked defensively but still with a smile.
"We are freshman, we aren't supposed to draw attention to ourselves..." I said quietly.
"Says who?" She replied with a laugh. I shrugged and she moved over to me. "Okay I will do your face if you do mine." I sighed and nodded.

I snapped out of my flashback when the whistle for the end of half time blew. The played ran onto the field this time and I still had no idea what was going on. A little while later everyone jumped up and starting cheering. I looked at the scoreboard and noticed we got a touchdown and the field goal. There was only 3 minutes left until the end of the game, and we managed to score again and tie the game at 15- 15. Each second was crucial and there was only 46 seconds left when something amazing happened. Donny ran halfway down the field, threw the ball to Kevin, who then ran the rest of the field and scored the winning touchdown. The fans jumped to their feet and started cheering and everyone was watching Kevin, who instead of doing his touchdown dance, did something different.
