My heart was racing, only a couple minutes left on the clock. They were winning which meant I couldn’t chicken out now, I made a promise to myself that I would go through with my decision. As the seconds ticked away I made my way through all the students and parents trying to leave the stadium. The smell of popcorn still lingered in the air but now it was mixed with the sweat of the players running off the field. The ground crunched beneath my feet from all the popcorn and candy wrappers that kids had dropped while running back to the stands. The announcer had just said our Hartland Eagles had won against Milford. My heart felt like it was gonna burst out of my chest as my boyfriend came over to me grinning like an idiot. “So what’s your big secret?” he asked.

“Well you guys did win the game so I guess I do have to tell you, after all a deals a deal.” I said as my cheeks started to burn and I looked down at my shoes. My palms started to sweat and I looked up into his green eyes specked with gold and his face still lit up like a little kid getting a new toy on Christmas. I quickly reached up and grabbed his chest pad along with the collar of his jersey and pulled his body towards mine. I looked at his lips then back to his eyes….I closed my eyes and pushed my lips against his. All I could feel were his lips on mine and my heart racing against his chest. As I pulled away he looked shocked, like he couldn’t believe what just happened. As I let go of his collar and went to step back I felt hands pull on my waist, and his voice barely above a whisper say…

“Wait I want another.” as he pulled me in again.
