Golden Boy
chapter seven

Brooklyn 

After school I headed to the journalism room. I loved this room more than anything. On one side of the room was computers and on the side I was currently on had one big round table where we sat during staff meetings. Then there were smaller tables for interviews. I'd be on the staff since I was a freshman. I didn't get to do too much freshman year, I basically just passed out papers and read articles written by the upper classmen. Sophomore year I got to do small articles. Then every year a junior is given their own section and that was me last year. Now as a senior I was the editor-in-chief of our newspaper at our high school. It was a lot of responsibility but I loved to write. Its what I want to major in next year. My jobs were the sports section and front cover. We just had our homecoming and I did the football article and now I had a scheduled interview with the homecoming king and queen. I was never sure why we did this but the front cover after homecoming was the king and queen, but we did, every year. I had the baby sitting up on the table next to me while I was waiting. Suddenly, the door flung open. In walked Selena Curry. She was about five foot six, platinum blonde, head cheerleader and the typical high school mean girl. She thrives on people being afraid of her, but I've never been one of those people so she's always been extra mean to me. She sat down across from me and flipped her hair before she spoke.
"Hello Hamilton." Selena said with sarcastic enthusiasm. 
"Hi Selena." I said meeting her tone.
"Oh the baby project. I heard everyone has a partner, but I bet your a single mother because who'd want to partner with your ugly-" She was cut off when another voice said.
"How's my baby-momma?" Vinny joined us in the room, walking right over to baby Graham.
Did I mention the Golden Boy was the homecoming king? How cliche. But the look on Selena's face was priceless right now.
"Can we get started?" I asked motioning for Vinny to sit down. Vinny turned the baby seat toward him as he sat down next to Selena. Thats when I noticed I didn't have the recorder for the interview. "I forgot something. I'll be right back."As I crossed to the other side of the room and looked around for a recorder, I couldn't help but over hear the conversation going on between Selena and Vinny.
"Are you seriously her partner?" Selena asked him.
"Yeah so what?" He shrugged, rocking the baby seat.
"Well because you're you and she's so you know. Whatever. When can we hangout again? Its been too long?" She placed her hand on Vinny's arm.
"I'm gonna be kind of busy for awhile." He gestured his head to the baby.
"Just dump the baby on her. Who cares not like she does anything."
"I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna earn my grade on this project."
"Whatever Vinny." Selena glanced at her watch. "Can we do this sometime today Brooklyn? I have practice soon." 
I snatched a recorder up and walked back over to the table. 
"Okay. My first question is for Selena, were you surprised to find out you were in the running for queen?" I asked.
Of course she wasn't but she'll lie to make herself look good.
"I was shocked, but honored my classmates found me worthy to be nominated." She said.
"Okay Vinny, same question."I looked at him.
"Well, I'd kind of be lying if I said I was." He said.
Wow conceited much?
"Selena, how did you feel finding out you won?" I asked. 
"I was so excited. It was truly honored that the school voted for me. Now if that's it I have to go to cheer. Bye Vinny." Selena winked at him. No shock she didn't bother saying bye to me as she left the room.
"Okay Vinny how did you feel finding out you won?" I asked him.
I bet he feels he was entitled to it since he was the Golden Boy.
"Can you just write something like it felt awesome. People wouldn't want to know the truth." He said.
"What do you mean?" 
"Is this off the record?" He asked glancing at the recorder and notebook.
"Sure."I shoved it aside. "Now what did you mean?"
"I didn't want to win. I didn't even want to be nominated. But I got all of that because of how people view me. Because I'm the Golden Boy."
"What could possibly be bad about being you?" I asked.
"Being the Golden Boy doesn't mean you get everything you want." Vinny looked me in the eyes for a split second after saying that.
What could he possible want that he doesn't have? 

feedback?

Golden Boy
chapter one

Brooklyn 
 
*Flashback Freshman Year*
He stood out to me immediately. The dark hair and dark eyes. He was tan, a sweet golden brown, that truly showed his spent his summer outside. His dress shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbow. His shirt was black and his tie was was a nice blue. How had I not seen this guy before? The freshman class wasn't that big?  Did we have a class together and I just never notice? But how could I not notice him? He was too cute. Suddenly he looked right at me. Oh no he caught me staring at him. Wait what was he doing? He broke away from the group of guys he was with. Was he coming over here? Oh.my.god. he was! 
"Hey." He said. His voice was already deep. 
"Hi." I barely squeaked out and actually looked down and played with the hem of my dress. 
"You're Brooklyn right? I think your in my lunch and science class." 
"Yeah I am." Lunch and science. Two times a day and I had no idea who this guy was. I really have to pay attention more. Well might as well go the honesty route. "I'm sorry, I can't remember your name."
"Vinny Carlson."
Vinny? Vinny Carlson? The kid who's absent all the time?
"Your the kid who the teacher is constantly calling absent."
He laughed, thank god. 
"Yeah. I've been playing a lot of fall baseball tournaments."
"Ahh your a baseball player."
"Yeah. You like baseball?"
"Yeah."
As soon as I said yeah he was talking a mile a minute, but I didn't mind. I wanted to hear everything he had to say. He was telling me all about his summer ball team and all the cool places they went for tournaments. The dance was going on behind us. I don't know how many girls spend their freshman homecoming against a wall chatting with a guy all night but I didn't have a single complaint. The fast paced music that was blasting throughout the room slowed down. 
"Hey, wanna dance?" Vinny asked holding out a hand to me. I couldn't think of  the right words so I just took his hand. He led me out to the gym floor where some of the crowd had dispersed because of the slow song. He slipped his arms around my waist and brought me close to him. I swear a shiver ran down my back. After a bit of silent swaying, Vinny spoke again.
"Man, I should of asked you to be my date. Then I would have gotten to hold you this close all night and not just for one slow song."
"You can hold me this close whenever you want." I smiled at him.
Umm excuse me, who said that cause I know I would never have the confidence to say that. 
"Sounds like a plan to me." 
And that's where our relationship began. And throughout the year everything was perfect. Freshman year was perfect.
****************************
It the first day of school. My first period class is american government. One of the perks of the first day is being able to sit wherever you want because most of the teachers don't care or have more important stuff to talk about. The teacher is okay, but he's also the baseball coach. From my seat I hear him say. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the Golden Boy?"
Oh you gotta be kidding me. It's my senior year now and I hate baseball. Well actually I hate my high school baseball team. If we're going to be exact I hate my ex.
I hate the Golden Boy.

feedback? new story! 
My football coach's name was Harsh
 I wonder if he was harsh while playing...
I feel so bad for women competing
in the olympics while on their period.

Epilogue


Three weeks after bringing home the win and everything calmed down with the media and the hype of winning, I finally relaxed. It was a tad stressful coming home after it all. Part of me didn't want to leave the game because it was going to be difficult to leave the moment behind. Then the media erupted again, but now to show off that we beat the odds and won. Tonight they were hanging the banner that had finally arrived, and that would be it. We would be a team for one last time tonight. 
********************
Allie: you ready?
Allie must have been out front and ready to go to the banner hanging ceremony. I slipped my state champions sweatshirt on and headed outside. 
"I'll take that as a yes."She said as I was locking the door.
"Yup. Let's go."
"Are you okay? Like that tonight's the end of it all?" Allie asked as we got closer to school.
"It's not like there's much I can do about it. Plus I'm a little relieved its all going to be over. So much drama went along with this."
"That is very true. But at least its all worked out now." 
We were just outside the school when someone suddenly swung an arm around my shoulder. I jumped, startled for a second, but when I saw those sweet green eyes I calmed. I couldn't believe it took me so long to figure out Cam had feelings for me and that the feeling was mutual. When we walked in I glanced around looking for the team when I caught Austin's eye. Austin didn't take me choosing Cam so well in the beginning. And when we came back to school the week after winning, he started dating LeeAnn which clearly was out of spite. But it only lasted a few days and then I sat down and talked to him. We got everything out and now he was finally coming around and I had a feeling we were going to be friends, eventually. We went and joined the team who were currently standing under where the banner would hang. 
"I can't believes it's over." Cam whispered quietly but I knew everyone heard him. 
"I know. It seems just like yesterday we worried about even having a team." Fitz said. 
Everyone fell into silence their own silent reminiscing about the past four years. (Well in Austin's case one).  This team was truly incredible, I loved every single one of these boys. They made me a stronger person and a better ball player. The rooms attention was called to where we were standing. My dad and Coach Larson were on ladders, one end of the banner in each other their hands.
SMACK!
Everyone looked up and the now hanging banner. 
St.Johns Braves
Home of the 2013 State Champions.
Now that the banner hung it truly was over. In seven weeks we would leave all of this behind to move on to summer basketball for our future high schools. In a sense grade school was over and it was time to move on. 
"One last time."  One of the boys shouted. Seven hands went into the air with pride.
"Braves!"

feedback?  well thats it! New story ideas will be up soon because I can't choose!
 
Chasing Woods
Chapter Nineteen


Stupid boys. I broke up with one boy just to be blown off by the other. Granted I'm pretty sure I didn't like the boy I broke up with anymore anyways but why did Cam blow me off? He likes me doesn't he? Ughh. Days went by and nothing changed. It was now game day. The state championship, and clearly two of my teammates weren't speaking to me or each other. We showed up early enough to watch the third place game. I was sitting  row above my team just trying to relax my nerves. Time was winding down. And the buzzer went off giving us our time to take the court. Out of nowhere Austin turned toward me.
"Is there any chance you'll change your mind?" He asked.
"About what?" I asked. 
"Us. The break up. I still like you. I don't want it to be over."
Just as I was about to answer I was cut off.
"She broke up with you. Let it go." Cam said.
"This isn't your conversation Stabler. Stay out of it."
"She doesn't like you anymore. She likes me."
"How can she be sure. Everyone know's you blew her off."
Omg did everyone know about that?
"Shut up. I made a mistake."
"Well that could change things."
"Why don't we just ask Woods?"
"Fine. Woods, me or him?" Cam laid down the question.
I thought about what Allie said the other day. Boys will get over themselves. I had to do what I wanted to be happy. So I brushed past both of them, because right now what I wanted more than anything was a state championship title.
*****************************
At half time we were down ten points. The other team clearly thought they had this in the bag. The whole reason we were losing because Austin and Cam decided they weren't going to play together. I did not come this far to lose. Just as the boys started to filter out of the locker room, I  caught their attention.
"If your names are Cam or Austin do not leave this room." 
The both stiffened but turned around to face me. 
"What is-" Cam started to say but I cut him off.
"Don't talk, just listen. What is the matter with both of you? Does winning this game mean anything to either of you? We have overcome so much to get here and now you two are gonna blow it over liking the same girl and then fighting about it. If either of you has a brain cell in your head you'll talk this out right now.  Because I guarantee I won't like either of you if we lose this game." I left them with that leaving the room. They didn't come out right away which I took as a good sign. A few moments later they came out together, they looked at me and I held my breath. 
"Let's do this." They both said together. They threw their hands up, I followed and then so did the rest of the team. 
"Let's go Braves! Let's win this."I shouted. The boys starting bouncing. It was go time. Time to take the title home.
******************************
There was no time on the clock. We were down one point. I was on the free throw line because one of their guys shoved me as I went up for the game tying layup. I was all alone here. Everyone else stood at half court. At least Austin and Cam played together in the second half and we managed to stay in the game. And now was time to seal the deal. Two chances to at least tie this game and send it to overtime. I took a deep breath and let the first one go. 
Woosh. 
Our crowd went crazy and the game was only tied. Now or never. I put the ball up and closed my eyes. Then I heard it.
Woosh.
The crowd went wild again and now the team was too. I glanced to the scoreboard, Braves 47, Raiders 46. We won! I turned around to celebrate with my team. That's when I jumped into his arm. And that's when I knew it was him.
He was the one.

feedback? So Cam or Austin? Next chapter is the last chapter.
Chasing Woods
Chapter Eighteen


I was so confused. I was dating Austin but I liked Cam. How does this happen?! These guys were my teammates, one my best friend, the other my boy friend. But does it make sense to have a boyfriend when you don't know who you like? So many thought racing through my mind before the most important game we were going to play all year. Oh man, what was I going to do. Austin or Cam? Life was much easier when my one true love was basketball. 
***********************************************
We pulled off a come from behind win to make it to the state championship. A come from behind win that we only won by two points. My head wasn't in the game at all. I had a whole four days to turn my game around and straighten this all out. I needed Allie.
Me: EMERGENCY I NEED YOU! PLEASE COME OVER!
The response was immediate.
Allie: be there in five.
I sat on the steps waiting for her. How did I get into this mess? Moments later Allie arrived.
"Why do you look so miserable? I thought you guys won today?" Allie joked.
"We did, but I'm having a problem." I said.
"Which is?"
"Cam likes me."
"Yeah and?"
"Did everyone know this but me!" I threw my head into my hands.
"Come on Woods its been obvious to everyone for at least a couple years. We all just figured you weren't interested."
"I had no idea!" 
"Okay calm down.Whats the problem? Your with Austin." I stayed silent trying to find the words to say this. "Omg you don't wanna be with him anymore. You wanna be with Cam."
See this is why she's my best friend. She's able to say the things I can't bring myself to say. I nodded at her to let her know she's right.
"But he's been my best friends besides you for like the last four years. And I don't want to hurt Austin. God this is such a mess."
"I think either way someones gonna get hurt. But you don't want to hurt yourself Woods. Do what you need to, to make you happy. Both boys will get over themselves. You think about that for a second. I'll be inside."
I pulled my phone out and texted Austin.
Me: Can you come over? We need to talk.
*******************************
Austin walked up but didn't smile at me the way he usually did.
"Hi." I said hesitantly.
"Just get it over with Woods."
"What?"
"Oh come on. We need to talk. I know you're gonna break up with me."
"Okay. Well I just, I'm really confused Austin. I'm sorry."
"Why are you doing this? What did I do wrong?"
"It's not you. It's me."
Wow if this wasn't sound like the most cliche break up I don't know what was.
"Is this about Cam?" 
I stayed silent. Not knowing what to say.
"Guess there's my answer. See ya at the game Woods."  He walked off. 
I pulled my phone out again this time texted Cam.
Me: Come over?
Cam: Be there in a bit.
Ten minutes later he was here. 
"What's up Woods?" Cam said.
"Just wanted to see what you were up to. Wanted to hangout." He joined me on the steps. 
"So what you been doing today?" He asked. 
"Well Allie's inside. And well Austin came over for a bit and I broke up with him." Cam turned toward me immediately.
"You did?"
"Yeah."
"Why? Thought you guys were good?"
"Well we were but then all these other feelings came up."
"Me?" 
"Well, yeah."
He starred at me. God he was adorable. I think he was going to- he was beginning to lean toward me. He was gonna kiss me. I slowly let myself close my eyes. 
"Wait, I-I can't do this." My eyes snapped open. 
"What? What's the matter."
"This is just to soon. I- I gotta go Woods." He jumped up from the stairs and jogged off. Leaving me to sit there confused. I said it before and I'll say it again, my life was easier when my only love was basketball.

Happy Fourth of July! Be thankful for the people who gave their lives to let us celebrate our freedom!
