Jenna needed an escape and a way to entice Andrew into her arms, who knew a football game would be the answer?
"It’s the start of the weekend, a little slice of Americana: Football Friday. The crowd is already roaring when I get there. I can hear them from all the way across practice field. I see the stadium lights, they are blindingly brilliant. I can smell the leaves under my feet as I crunch through them; I am excited for this game. I’ve heard from the football literate that this team is the most competitive we’ll be facing in our home stadium.
I asked a friend, actually, my ex-boyfriend, to come and hang out with me and some of my other friends. I still cared about him, and wanted him to be included in my life, and a football game seemed like the perfect opportunity. He was already at the game, but I didn’t know that. So I waited by the bridge to the practice field. In front of me, I see someone I know walking towards the bridge. I don’t recognize him at first, but my heart jumps in my throat anyways. As he gets closer, I know who he is. The curly hair and his brilliant eyes, it was one of my new-found crushes: Andrew."
