On a Wednesday by Whitney G.

Kyle: Then

Senior Year

Pittsburgh


Istood at the center of the field at the end of the season, smiling as blue and gold confetti fell over me and my teammates.

I was putting on my best smile for the cameras, but I honestly wished I was elsewhere.

Pushing my way through the crowd, I decided to check my phone before Coach gave his speech to the stadium.


Courtney: Congratulations on going 12-0! What a fucking game!

Kyle: Thank you. It would’ve meant more if my favorite cheerleader was actually on the sidelines.

Courtney:I am. Look over. (I even wore your jersey number in my earrings.)


I looked over at the sidelines, seeing Courtney wave with her phone in her hand.

I smiled and waved back.


Kyle: I take it you’ll give me an up close look at my party tonight?

Courtney:Depends. Will there be a chance for a distraction?

Kyle:More than one.
