It had been weeks since it happened.Weeks since he proposed and I said yes. And since I discovered I was positive. We were excited and could hide it easily. Excitement had already filled the air. Homecoming. And I was engaged to the captain of the football team, the M.V.P. of our school.

We had to win this game. No options. And he had to psych up the entire school. And I was his devoted, spirited girlfriend, his own personal pep talk. I had to stay at his side and rally up the school with him.

Blue and green covered the halls and our faces.

Then came the day of the homecoming game. So far, our school was undefeated. And I know that we would win the game. That he would win the game. For the school, the team, for the three of us.
