******CHAPTER 6; THE GAME******

"AHHH! Why the hell does that freaking guy have to blow the whistle so loud?" Tiffany exclaimed, covering her ears. "The game's starting!" Jennifer said with excitement. Both Jennifer and Tiffany decided to watch Matt and Brian's team play against each other that bright afternoon. Jennifer had been waiting so eagerly to see Brian that day. Walking to his position, Matt greeted Tiffany and Jennifer with a wave. "GO MATT!" Tiffany yelled. "WOOHOOO! Matt is number one!" "OMG!" Jennifer yelled, grabbing her best friend to sit back down. "Sit down Tiff, the game hasn't started!" she said, embarassed. "Who cares!" The game started, and Matt had the ball in his stick, running across to the other end. From the other end of the field, Jennifer could see Brian dashing towards Matt angrily. Just before Matt was about to score into the net, Brian came up from behind him and body-checked him to the ground. The crowd went wild. "Booooooooooo!" everyone yelled. Jennifer stood to her feet, to see if Matt was alright. She watched as he lay there in pain. "What does that idiot think he's doing?" Tiffany asked raged. "Poor Matt!" "OMG! Is he gonna be ok?" Jennifer asked concerned. The crowd watched, as Matt slowly rose to his feet, wanting to continue the game. "Foul on 14!" the ref ordered. Brian walked down to the bench, waiting to get back onto the field. "Jen, I don't even know why you still like that idiot! Look at what he did to Matt?" Not knowing what to do, Jen remained seated, confused and feeling bad. "I'm fine." Matt told the ref, as he slowly jogged back to his position to continue the game. The whistle was blown again, and the game was back on. Jennifer could see Brian looking at her from the side of her eye.

The game was finishing and the score was 5-4 for Brian's team. There was only 2 minutes left in the clock. Matt quickly stole the ball from the other team, and quickly dashed to the other end of the field, hoping to score. He took a shot, and the ball went it. "GOAL!" the ref yelled, blowing the whistle. Jennifer and Tiffany stood to their feet, yelling like madd! "You go Matt! YEAH!" Tiffany yelled. "Yeah SEXAY boy!" Jennifer teased. Matt began to laugh. The crowd continued to cheer, as Matt went back to his position. The score was tied 5-5, and there was only 1 minute remaining. Matt had the ball in his stick and ran as fast as he could. Brian came up from beside him and stole the ball. Luckily, Matt stood back to his feet and ran after Brian. Brian swung his stick. Just before he was able to shoot the ball into the net, Matt body-checked him to the ground, stole the ball, and dashed to the other end, leaving Brian on the ground. He took one shot….. "5, 4, 3…" the crowd chanted together. "2…" Everyone watched as the ball went in the net….."1….YEAH!" the crowd cheered. "GO MATT! YEAH!" the crowd went wild, as the teams headed for the change rooms. Jen saw Matt walking away with the team mates and decided to follow him. But just before she got there, someone grabbed her behind the bleachers. "Shhh!" Brian said, covering her mouth. "It's me!" "What?" she asked angrily. "What the hell are you doing here. Are you here for MATT?" he asked angered. "I don't have to tell you! You're not my boyfriend anymore." "Look Jen, just because I'm with Megan, it doesn't mean I don't like you anymore. Because I DO!" he replied, hoping it would prevent her from seeing Matt again. "OMG!" she yelled, "I can't believe you're even saying this to me. Look, I'm not stopping you from going out with MEGAN, so why the hell do you keep yelling at me if I don't really care what you think right now!" "Jen, just give me some time, I can straighten things up between the both of us. I just need to talk with Megan first." "You do whatever you want ok? I don't really care!" she said, walking off. "WAIT! Jen, hold up! Go to the talent show on Saturday, that's in 2 days. My band's playing this new rock song we made last week. I just want you to be there." She looked at him, unsure if she should go or not. "Please Jen, for me." he pleaded. "Ok, fine." she answered. "Great, thanks Jen! You'll have a blast, trust me!" he told her, finally running to the change rooms.

Brian didn't make sense to Jen. First he wants Megan, now he wants Jennifer, and now he wants both of them. Just seeing him with Megan crushed her. After all that they've gone through, he risked all that they had just to be with Megan. Though she felt she was gonna corrupt any minute, Jen was thankful for having Matt and Tiffany by her side. Especially Matt. She barely knew him, but yet he was able to make her feel the sense of warmth and comfort she needed. There was just that something about him that made her smile. There was only a few hours left till the day would turn into night. Jennifer stepped out of her front door and breathed in the fresh summer air. Summer was a total bore for her, and there was still one whole month left to go. She decided to take a nice, calm walk to the ravine. It was the place where she overlooked the ocean, releasing her emotions every time she couldn't handle it anymore. She neared the ravine, and sat down on the very edge. From there, she was able to see the bright sun, hidden behind some clouds. "Jen?" she heard some one calling her. She quickly turned around to find Matt standing there. "Oh, hey Matt. What are you doing here?" "I was about to ask you the same thing." he slowly sat down beside her. "What's wrong?" "Nah, it's nothing. Just stuff. You know, Brian stuff!" "Oh." he answered solemnly. "But I thought you guys were getting back together?" "Yeah, no…I dunno! It's just all weird now." "Anyway." he said, changing the subject. "Guess what?" "What?" "My boat's almost ready! I just need to do the final touch-ups and Dreamer will be riding in the ocean!" he told her with a bright smile on his face. "He'll be ready on Saturday!" "OMG! Matt, that's so great!" "Yeah!" he answered, as he ripped off some grass and threw it down the ravine. "But…." he slowly swallowed. "the thing is….I need to go with some one. You know, just to share the whole experience with." "So you bringing Dave with you?" "Nah, he's too young. So…." "OMG! Oh yeah! I totally forgot! Too bad, you're bringing me! haha! You promised remember, that I'd be the first person to ride on Dreamer with you!" "Yeah, that's why I want you to come with me! On Saturday, when I first ride Dreamer!" "Of course!" Below the ravine, just at the tip of the sand, two people caught their attention. Their faces weren't too clear to them, but Jen was able to tell who they were. "Is that Brian and Megan?" Matt asked, quickly standing to his feet to get a better look. He stared down at them, as Brian and Megan held hands. "Yeah. I dunno, I don't care! Let them do what they want!" she answered, trying to avoid them. But it bugged her too much that she had to see what they were up to. After all, Brian even said he would fix things between them, so it couldn't be so bad. She slowly stood up to get a better look at them below. "Jen! Are you sure you wanna see? I don't think it's such a great idea!" Matt insisted. She continued to stare at them closer and closer, to find that they were making out….MAJORLY. "URGH!" Jennifer screamed. "What the hell does he think he's doing?" she was soo pissed at him. "This is what they did last time at the restaurant." Matt reminded her. "Maybe we should make out to make him jealous again!" he teased. Jen slapped him across the arm. "Shut up Matt!" she laughed. All of a sudden, there was silence between them. They just looked at each other, and Matt could tell that Jen was still thinking about his idea of kissing each other. He began to laugh. "Jen, you want me!" he teased! They both began laughing hysterically. "Oh yes Matt!" she stared, sarcastically. "You're DEAD SEXAY!" They laughed once more, until Jen looked back at Brian and Megan, who were still at it. "You know what Matt? I'm sorry, but I should get going! I'll see ya on Saturday night ok? What time?" "At around 8 or so." "Alright, I can make it. I just have to go to this Talent Show thing before that." "Talent Show?" Matt asked smiling. "Ok, just be there at around 8 ok Jen?" "No prob. Bye Matt!" she added, as she stood up and left for home.
