“Fuck.”
Jackie immediately awakens from her loud alarm her parents insisted on buying her. Her eyes squinted because of the bright sun shining through her window. It’s April 12th, the first day of soccer practice for her senior year.
Jackie walks to the bathroom and immediately puts on her gold heart necklace. She’ll go nowhere without it. She continues to get ready, being mindful to grab her practice bag, as well as her school bag when she's done.
Shauna pulls up to Jackie's house in her old red Ford Freestar, listening to The Cure. Shauna switches the music to something Jackie would like and waits for her to come out.
Jackie walks out of her house, approaching the car. Shauna stares at her in awe, her eyes wide and doe like, her mouth slightly open. Jackie gets into the car.
“What's up Shipman!”
“Took you long enough Jackie. Don’t forget we have to get to school early to have a meeting with the team.”
“Yes..yes, I know Shauna. Don’t worry we’ll be fine.”
“Hey you said that last time!” Shauna let out a scoff as she grinned at Jackie.
“Well I mean it this time Shipman and that..that is what counts.” Jackie applied her lipstick in between speaking.
Jackie and Shauna arrived at school. It was still and silent, no bustling students or loud arguing between couples like there usually was. Charlotte Matthews got out of her dads nice car, pigtails in her hair with blue ribbons.
“Lott!” Jackie shouted from across the school yard.
Jackie grabbed Shauna's arm and walked over to Charlotte. “Oh hey Jackie, where is everyone? It's like 8am.” Charlotte said with a disappointed look on her face. Jackie rolled her eyes and sighed, “I don’t know but this shit is so irresponsible, it's the start of the soccer season and no one could even make an effort to show.”
“Guys come on. Maybe everyone is just a little late because of.. Uhm…traffic?” Shauna said this while her eyes wandered trying to give a reason for everyone not showing.
Minutes later more and more of the soccer team showed up.
Jackie, Lottie, and Shauna were now sitting on the ground with their backs leaned against the wall. “Oh my fucking god, Mistys here.” Jackie said, leaning her head back with a sigh. Lottie laughed, "It's definitely going to be an interesting year.”
The soccer team walked over to the field to meet an unusually tired Coach Ben
“Ok girls, welcome to Soccer. Some of you are new and some of you have been playing since freshman year. We’ll split the JV girls from the Varsity girls in just a moment.”
Marianna Ibarra raised her hand. “And what if you’re not playing at all?” Mari glanced at Misty
The girls giggled, except for Misty. Misty herself was left with an unsurprised but embarrassed look on her face.
“We all know Misty is a very…loyal manager to the team. And with that being said, let's separate our JV from Varsity.” Exclaimed Coach Ben.
The girls were split. Coach Ben continued; “Ok I’ll be picking the captains of each team based on tryouts and previous years for our Varsity players”
“For our Varsity captain, we have Jackie! Jackie you are a good sportsmanship and our strongest leader, congratulations.” The girls clapped, Shauna yelled “Yeah!! Jackie!”
“For our JV captain, Gen! Congratulations, you're a confident player who never gives up and that makes a good leader.” The JV side cheered for Gen.
2:58pm
Shauna begins to pack her bags silently as it's near the end of the school day.
Jackie, slumped over on her desk, hasn't been paying attention for the last 45 minutes. Shauna looks over at Jackie. *She’s gonna need my notes again. Anything for her* Shauna thinks.
The bell rings and class is dismissed. “Hey Shipman can I-” “Here.” Shauna hands over her notes and smiles. “God, what would I do without you.” Jackie says.
Jackie and Shauna walk into a crowded locker room. The smell of deodorant, perfume, and hairspray is distinct. Shauna sets down her bag and grabs her practice clothes out of it. Jackie, 10 feet away, starts to unbutton and take off her striped blue polo, her black lace bra is revealed. A bra she and Shauna picked out together to try and impress Jeff. Shauna glances over at Jackie for about 5 seconds.
*That bra is so hot on her* Shauna bit her lip and continued to tie up her hair. Jackie noticed Shauna's staring. Shauna looked away and winced. She then pretended to act like she was doing something.
Jackie smirked and ran her tongue across her teeth. “Shipman, can you help me with my necklace?” The locker room now was empty.
Shauna, still half undressed, nodded and walked over to Jackie with her revealed bralette that seemed to catch Shauna's eye. Shauna gulped and moved Jackie's beautiful dirty blonde hair onto her shoulder. Jackie glanced over her shoulder with a slight smile.
Shauna continued to take off Jackie's necklace. Jackie turned around fully and looked at Shauna with her big hazel eyes. Shauna usually found it hard to maintain eye contact with an intimidating Jackie, but this time it felt comfortable, almost like a warm hug. So inviting.
Shauna looked down at Jackie's lips. They were pink and shaped so perfectly, they looked as if they were making a heart.
Jackie smirked at Shauna and gently touched Shauna's hand.
“If you wanna kiss me, then kiss me.”
Shauna paused. *Did she really just say that?* “Shipman, I'm all yours.” Jackie added.
Shauna took her chance, she couldn’t wait anymore. No matter how hard Shauna tried to push her feelings down for Jackie, they’d just come back up. Jackie was irresistible, she was everything.
Shauna grabbed Jackie's waist softly and slowly went in for the kiss. Jackie leaned in halfway and then stopped as a tease. Jackie smiled and giggled, she had Shauna in the palm of her hand. Jackie finally went in all the way. Their lips gently caressed each other. Their lips interlocked. Shauna tucked Jackie's hair behind her ears and went down to kiss her neck. She could smell Jackie's everyday perfume, it smelt of roses and magnolias.
Jackie picked Shauna’s face up by her chin to look at her again, she slowly moved her finger around Shauna's soft round lips. Shauna thought to herself *She's everything.*
“We’d better go, Shipman… we can't be late.” Jackie said, still cupping Shauna's face. “Yeah I know.” Shauna let out a sigh and slid her hand onto Jackie's neck.
They shared one last kiss before they decided to finish getting ready and get out on the field.
An hour later.
Shauna had been practicing but she couldn’t stop thinking about what went down in the locker room. What would this mean for her and Jackie?
