My life means something

The dull roar of Madden High's whole student body's cheers penetrated through the closed hallway doors as I nervously awaited to burst through the doors, through the paper sign, and join my teammates at half court. I don't know why i'm so nervous, i've done this a million times before but this particular monday pep rally has gotten me more pumped up than usually. this friday is our town's rivalry game between my high school, Madden High, and Jacobs High on the other side of the town. Last year in the rivalry game i threw five touchdown passes and took the title for the year. Actually we've held the title for the last three years, since i was a freshman.
"And now for the moment you all have been waiting for!!" Mr. Smead's pseudo sports announcer voice got louder as i pulled open one of the gym's big wooden doors. "Drum roll please."
The band's drum line give him his desired drum roll.
"The one and only, senior sensation, your starting quarterback, number seven, Jamison "Rocket arm" Lyles!!!!!"
As the gym erupted in scream and hollering, i ran out the door, busted through the paper sign reading "4 peat" and stood there with my raised arms spread over my head, basking in my fellow students cheers. After taking my glorious fifteen seconds of fame i lightly jogged over to my teammates and was greeted with a airborne chest bump from the town's leading wide receiver and my best friend, Mikah Jones. MY team split like the Red Sea as me and Mikah walked to stand at the center court. The gym fell deathly silent as we spun around back to back and I stopped face-to-face with my little brother Jared, the team's punter. I smiled in anticipation of what was about to go down.
"WHO'S GONNA WIN?!" me and Mikah yelled simultaneously at our team.
"WE'RE GONNA WIN!" they responded at the top of their lungs
"WE'RE GONNA WIN?!"
"OH YEAHH!"
"WHAT TIME IS IT?!"
"GAME TIME!!"
"I SAID..WHAT TIME IS IT?!?!"
"GAME TIMEEEE!!!!"
Lifting my fist in the air and watching everyone follow me i yelled
"GLORY ON THREE. GLORY ON THREE.
1.....
2.....
3......"
"GLORY!!!" Everyone yelled, including the fans teachers and cheerleaders.
As everyone surrounded the team; Mikah, Jared, and I stepped out of the crowd and led the team out of the gym door and we stormed the hallway. I felt someone slide their hand into mine and smiled when i looked over to find my brunette bombshell girlfriend, Jane McDaniel, had replaced my brother as he headed to his chemistry class. She was in here black and blue bombers dance uniform that made her blue eyes pop. As our football team broke formation and went to our different classes, I stuck behind with Jane by her locker and waited for her to get her stuff. We never get in trouble, it's the perks of being the quarterback and the danceline captain.
"you look good in your uniform," i said; nuzzling my lips against her neck. "As always"
