Jealousy comes unexpected

Chapter 22

It's the championship game tonight, everyone was there to support their school; The Peach Creek Cobblers vs. Lemon Brook Squares. The Peach fans sat on the right side of the stadium while the Lemon fans sat on the left. Edd has never really been interested in sports so he never went to any games, but now that he was dating Kevin, he didn't exactly have a choice; his new boyfriend needed his support and to cheer him on, even if he didn't understand the sport a bit.

The game didn't start for another 25 minutes so people were flowing into the stadium, getting snacks, talking to friends and family, or buying tickets from the ticket stand. Kevin gave Edd a wristband the night before the game which gave him special clearance into the stadium and the locker room. Edd wanted to get a seat not to far from the exit, but also Kevin could see him and he could see Kevin. He saw that both teams were on different sides of the field doing some last minute free throws before the game begin, but he had yet to see Kevin. Edd had yet to see anyone he knew in the bleachers, he spotted Nazz with the rest of the cheerleaders on the field but that was about it; Eddy must not have been there yet. He felt a hand land on his shoulder. He turned to see it was Nat.

"Hey Double Cutie!" He said with excitement. "Oh, hello Nat. Shouldn't you be with the rest of your team?" Edd asked with a soft smile. "Yeah, I kinda was running late. Rave wanted to give me something for good luck...if you get my drift." He winked at Edd, it took Edd a sec, but he realized what Nat meant and blushed a little. "O-Oh, no...I get it."

He and Nat laughed a bit.

"So have you given our captain his 'Something For Good Luck' yet?" He smirked. "Oh...um..." Edd blushed even more, he looked over at the team, he still didn't spot Kevin. "Not yet." Edd said quietly. "Well, you're here. So in a way, he had his Something For Good Luck." Said Nat as he patted Edd on his back. "Yeah." Said Edd. "Oh, is Rave here?" Edd asked looming around. "He's parking his car right now, but he should be coming. I better go, need to get prepared to kick some Lemon Square ass. Kevin's probably in the locker room, I'll let him know you're here so keep a look out." Said Nat as he ran off to the locker room, he waved Edd goodbye.

Edd waved him off as he walked over to the bleachers. He found a spot in the middle row, he sat down and looked out towards the field to see the teams running towards the locker rooms. He should have brought a book while he waited for the game to start. He crossed his legs, laid his elbows on his knees, and rested his chin on his palm. A chill breeze came flowing in and he quickly wrapped his arms around himself, trying to block any inch of cold air from hitting his body. All of a sudden, he felt something wrap around his fragile arms. It was a jacket, a black, heavy coated, jacket that was twice his size.

"Are you cold, Mi amigo?"

Edd turned around to see Carlos who took a seat next to him.

"I was at first, but now I'm not." Said Edd as he wrapped himself further into Carlos's jacket. "So you decided to come to the game, huh?" Edd asked. "Well...Besides hot head and Nat, I got a friend on the team who asked me to come and be supportive." Said Carlos. "Really? Who? What's their number?" Edd asked. "Player 46. He's a defense back." Said Carlos as he looked out towards the field. "46? I don't know who that number belongs to. I know Kevin's is number 31 and I belive Nat's is number 186. Anyway, let's just enjoy the game and cheer them on." Said Edd. "Yeah." Said Carlos.

Edd and Carlos got to talking for a bit before the announcer's voice boomed throughout the stadium, causing Edd to jump and cling to Carlos's arm.

"Good Evening folks, it's the championship high school football game between The Peach Creek Cobblers and The Lemon Brook Squares. Please take your seats for the game is about to begin in 5 minutes."

The crowd then headed towards the bleachers on both side is the stadium, taking one seat after the other. Edd was still clung to Carlos's arm as he watch the crowd pour in. Carlos didn't say a word, he only blushed as Edd nuzzled his arm closer his chest, like a girl with big boobs. A clear of the throat caught Edd's attention and he pulled away.

"My apologies, the announcer startled me." Said Edd as he continued to watch everyone pour in the bleachers. "No worries, Double D." Said Carlos who was trying to get his cheeks to calm down.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the high school football championship game. The Peach Creek Cobblers vs The Lemon Brook Squares. Let's welcome our teams, shall we. Coming in from the left corner of the field is The Lemon Brook Squares!"

The cheerleaders were lined up as the team in yellow and white came running into the field. The crowd cheered and booed as Lemon Brook entered the stadium.

"And coming in from the right, our last year's champions...The Peach Creek Cobblers!"

The crowd went wild as the Peach Creek came running to the field. Edd looked around trying to spot at least Kevin's number, when he finally did, he tried to get his attention by waving at him. Unfortunately, it was no luck so he thought he try again later on, maybe before halftime. Carlos looked around to spot his friend, he did, but didn't bother to try to get his attention, he was too focused on the adorkable nerd next to him that was wearing his jacket.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, please rise for the national anthem."

Everyone rose from their set and with that the game began.
