Football Surprises

After school, Olivia headed out to the football field with Craig for practice. Craig refused to talk to her, so she sent him around the field to videotape.

Once practice was over, she got Coach Marks and Ashton to talk for a small interview. “Well, I’m doing a story for the news on our sports and I was wondering if I could talk to you both. Maybe get some pictures and videos and inside information.â€? Olivia told them as they sat on the bleachers.

Strangely, Ashton smiled at her. “I could help you out, since Coach is so busy with working on the plays and stuff. Consider me who to come to for whatever you’ll need.â€? Uh huh, sounds about right.

Olivia thanked Coach Marks as he walked away, leaving the two of them to talk. “So, um what can you tell me about our football team?â€? she asked.

“How about over lunch tomorrow? We can go off-campus. I have some connections.â€?

“Um, sure that sounds great. See you then.â€? Once Ashton left, Craig came toward Olivia with a sour look on his face. What now?
