Sarah and the Boys 2

Nicholas was the star of the soccer team and always scored at every game. I walked onto the field and saw Alexa. She was locking lips with her boyfriend Matthew. “EEWW,” I thought, “That guy is a total dork.” Then from nowhere Prinicipal Mcally or “CAW CAW ,” as my friends and I call her (because with her beady eyes and pointy nose she looks like she can fly away at any moment.) The Principle lightly tapped Alexa and Alexa held out her hand to tell the person to hold on. Then Principle Mcally yanked the students apart. She started yelling some lecture at Alexa and Matthew about how they’re to serious and all kinds of other stuff that just sounded like, “CAW CAW ,” to me. I decided to stay out of all the commotion, so I headed to the other side of the field closest to our team’s players (including Nicholas). He saw me walk by and smiled at me. I almost tripped, but I caught myself and smiled back adding a cute wave. How dorky am I? I sat down on the bleacher and decided I’ll only cheer for my hero…. Nicholas.
