Thread: The History Project (Niah & guitarfan28)

Zane Heywood shook his head when Tate walked back to the table, Did you see that fag stand up and actually think he was going to fight me? What a freaking idiot. He sat down with a handful of cookies he probably took from other students and Zane grabbed one. Zane was the quarterback of the football team and the most popular guy in school, with the students and teachers. He didn't do badly in school when he actually tried. Tate frowned when Zane stole a cookie, Dude?! Zane laughed, You could lose the pounds man and plus you have a handful. Didn't your mother teach you to share? The other guys at the table laughed a bit. The football team was undefeated so it put a lot of pressure on Zane. He wanted to play ball in college so he had to step it up to get noticed by scouts. With dreams of getting into a good school and to keep the team undefeated he had to be on top of his game every week. He would focus on each week and each opponent one week at a time. His mornings started early with a run if they didn't have morning practice then they had practice every day after school. He also tried to eat healthy for the most part, minus cookies and a few other treats he would give himself. Zane loved the attention he got during football season. There was just something fascinating to him about being the most popular guy in the school. He just hoped he could continue to be their hero or Monday would be a long day, having to show up with a loss under their belt. Zane didn't always do all the bullying and mistreatment. He couldn't lie that he wasn't around when it happened and he didn't exactly stop it so he was very much just as responsible as if he did it he supposed. Most of the time he just tried to ignore it. Ian their running back looked at him, Did you do the English paper. Zane smiled and shook his head. No I had Elliott write something up for me. He chuckled a bit, Man I'm too freaking busy with practices and stuff. Plus Mr. Turner doesn't seem to care, he wouldn't want to have to be the reason the quarterback gets benched. The guys envied Zane and how he ran the school it seemed. Just then the bell rang and he grabbed his Powerade and finished it off before getting up to throw his stuff away. Going back to the table he grabbed his bag and took off for class. He said bye to his friends before heading into the classroom for his history class. Zane found his usual seat at the back of the class and sat down. A couple cheerleaders turned to talk to him, Hi Zane. Worried about the big game Friday? Zane smiled, he loved cheerleaders, or well the attention they gave him. No. I'm not worried. I know we will win. It will be a good game though. It was a tradition that the players dress up for home games in dress clothes with a tie. Then their girlfriends or a lucky girl got to wear whatever jersey they didn't need for the game. Away games the players wore their away jerseys. Their colors were Red, Black, and White. Red jerseys for away and Black for home games. They had a home game that week. Zane who's wearing your jersey Friday?, The other cheerleader asked. Zane smiled, I don't know yet. Week's still early. The next bell rang to indicate the start of the class. The girls turned around to pay attention and Zane just smiled.
