[log] FOOTBALL ON THE MALL (courtyard)

There has been tradition at Dice North Senior High School since as long as any of the students can remember, which isn't very long since the seniors had only been attending the school for 3 years. Nonetheless Clint had brought out a couple of cones to use as a makeshift inzone and, much to Easton's dismay, the pinnies to differentiate teams.

So at about 3pm on wednesday afternoon Clinton Calloway pushes the siren button from the middle of the courtyard. "DICE HIGH STUUUUUDENTS! HURRY ON OVER TO THE COURTYARD FOR A FUN, ALL AMERICAN GAME OF FOOOOTBALL!"

okay but seriously why hasn't anyone taken that away from him yet.

Shani's eyes were scanning over the field and the players all conversing together when Areli speaks to her. She jolts a little and looks over to the cheerleader, her eyes widening a bit.

Why were all the girls at this school so pretty???

Still, once the gay thoughts pass, the news sinks in and she frowns in disappointment. "Ah, really? Damn..." She looks back to the team with longing.

Areli stops stretching to just stare at her. its a few moments before he rolls his eyes; this school was filled with morons.

" No, he just made the announcement. Our guys can last a little longer than that. "

She automatically brightens. Yeah, full of morons alright. "Oh really? Awesome!" She's beaming now, but she still glances at Areli "You know joking around like that's gonna make people confused." No, literally it only confuses you. Still, the scolding doesn't last too long as she smiles wide.

"So you must be a cheerleader right?"

Areli raises his arms above his head, lacing his fingers together, and stretches his back.
" What, you don't think I could be a player? "He frowns at her a little.

She shakes her head innocently. "No, no! It's just, no girls from my town ever wanted to play football, that's all." Her eyes shine bright at the realization that things here might be different. "ARE you a player??"

Wrong on so many levels

He falters a little, watching her before dropping his arms back to his sides. Now he could keep going with this joke and play in the practice game but....well, ok, no he couldn't. He wouldn't. Not to keep this joke going, one because he'd look stupid out there playing, and two he'd probably die or something. Areli switched gears a little.

He put his hands on his hips and leaned his weight to one leg.
"What, do I look like a girl to you?"

Well. Yes. He looks like a girl to most people.

At his words, she looks like she's been struck. Wait...what???

"O-oh my gosh, I'm sorry I didn't-- you-- wait-- are you joking with me again cuz I'm like...really confused now..."

Areli doesn't say anything, hands on his hips just staring her down.

"Boys can be cheerleaders too, you know. "

Being a cheerleader probably really wasn't the problem Shani was having here, but ok Areli.

She shakes her head quickly in bewilderment. She was still reeling from this whole thing.

"So-- wait. You're a cheerleader...and a boy??"

Yes that's what he just said.

Areli lets out an over exaggerated sigh.

"There you go."

She looks him over one more time as if to confirm what he said was true and scratches her neck. "Wow, sorry there dude. I just-- you're really pretty for a guy," she admitted sheepishly. "Not that there's anything wrong with that!"

God, this was going so smoothly. She clears her throat and changes the subject. "So if they let boys be cheerleaders, do you think they'll let girls be players?"

Lets be honest, Areli took that as a compliment. That was enough to appease his fake upsetness of being called a girl. He really could care less.

He shrugged and continued to stretch. "I dunno, I don't see any girls up there. " He reached down and touched his toes, not giving her his full attention. " But Clint's the captain, and find it really unlikely that he'll say no. He's a pretty nice dude."

She nods a little and looks out onto the field again. He was right, there weren't any girls. Just guys, really BIG guys, much larger than than the boys she used to play with back home. But she couldn't let that deter her.

She takes a deep breath. "Alright...yeah. Just gotta show them my stuff," she mutters, cracking her knuckles. "Show em what I'm made of!" A grin spreads on her face as determination flows through her.

"Thanks for cheering me up! You're really good at this whole cheerleader business!"

" Yeah, I know."

She takes another deep breath. "Alright I'm gonna head out there...wish me luck!"

Areli doesn't.

"...Okay, here I go!" She didn't dwell too long on Areli's silence. She did totally mistake him for a chick after all. Usually dudes get way more miffed about those kinds of things.

Still, she runs out about halfway before slowing. Wait...which one was Clint??? Uh. Shit.

Rotk guesses he should round up some more uncerclassmen since Clint hasn't handed him a pinny yet.

He spots Shani making her way towards the players looking lost. "Aw shit," he mutters under his breath noticing she's headed away from Areli. He can only hope that Areli wasn't too rude to the fresh meat.

"Hey kid!" he jogs across the field to meet Shani halfway. "You're here for the game yeah?"

Her entire being brightens when someone comes to help her out. And they didn't seem to question her gender either, which was always a plus.

She nods enthusiastically. "Mhmm, yup! I heard the announcement and came down here as soon as I could! I normally play line but I'll fill whatever you need!"

"Excellent you have experience!" he beams. Honestly he's not sure if the football team is co-ed but the dorms are so it wouldn't be much of a stretch.

"I'll take you over to Clint, he'll let you know what we need this season. I'm Rotk by the way, I'm on the offensive line." He offers his hand out.
