Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 217: Zoey begs
Avery's POVThe squad wrap-up took at least twenty minutes and I got through it and sent everyone home. I then went to stand outside the changing rooms with my kit bag and my phone and waited for Liam. Brianna left without looking at me. I noted it and kept moving. I couldn't honestly care less about whatever it is that was going through her head. Right now, she was a problem I refused to acknowledge.The stadium had quieted down. The crowd was mostly gone and the lights were on their maintenance setting and the grounds staff were doing their rounds and the whole place was settling back into the ordinary version of itself after three hours of being something else. I thought about what Keely had said on the field and I let myself feel good about it for a few minutes before I started checking my phone.Liam came out about fifteen minutes later with his bag and his jacket and his hair still damp from the shower and he saw me against the wall and the look on his face changed into a wide s
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 216: First win
Avery's POVGetting across the field after a home win was like trying to move through water that had decided it did not want to be moved through.Students were everywhere, climbing over each other to get to the players, the noise was enormous and directionless, with everyone celebrating the same thing in a hundred different directions at once. I pushed through with my elbows doing more work than was probably appropriate and looked for number seven. Someone was spraying a water bottle in the air and I got most of it on my shoulder.Tate found me before I found Liam. He was standing with two other offensive linemen still in full kit and he saw me coming and pointed right without me having to ask."Good game," I said to him."Tell him," Tate said, and went back to his conversation.I followed his hand through another stretch of celebrating strangers and found Liam at the edge of the crowd. He had his back to me and I could see from the set of his shoulders that the coordinator was still
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 215: Second half
Avery's POVBrianna went to Vega at halftime and came back to the squad without a word to me. I did not ask what was said because the second half was starting and I had a job to do. Whatever she went to report to Vega, I could defend myself cleanly. Half the squad watched her come back. None of them said anything either.The teams came back out and I called the formation and we went.About ten minutes into the third quarter Keely appeared at my shoulder again during a defensive series."Watch his eyes," she said."Whose.""Colton's. Watch where he looks before he throws."I kept my eyes on the field. "What am I watching for?""You'll know when you see it."I shifted my focus from the squad to the field and watched.The defense held and the offense came out. Liam lined up wide right and the snap came. He ran his route and got open, three steps of clear space and closing fast. Colton looked directly at him and then moved his eyes left and threw short for four yards."There," Keely said.
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 214: First half
Avery's POVThe Wolves scored seven minutes into the first quarter and the crowd came up like it had been waiting to. I called formation five and the squad hit it clean and for about forty seconds everything on the sideline was exactly what it was supposed to be.Then the drive stalled and the offense came off the field. I called the hold and pulled the squad back to the sideline and watched Liam come off with his helmet in his hand and his jaw tight. He went straight to the offensive coordinator without looking at the sideline. Whatever had gone wrong on that drive was written clearly in his shoulders when he leaned over the tablet. I watched them go over it together for thirty seconds and then the offense was back out and I called formation two and we went again.We were in the middle of the second formation when I heard Brianna behind me."Count is off," she said. Not to me. To the line. "We are running half a beat behind the crowd. Pick it up."I was mid-count and I did not stop t
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 213: Sidelines
Avery's POVThe stadium was already very loud when we arrived and it was not even warm up yet. Good thing we arrived earlier than the planned time. The fans were very eager to begin the season.The home crowd had been building since the gates opened. I could hear it from the tunnel as the squad walked through, the thick noise of people who had come expecting something and were already in the mood to get it. The field lights were brutal and bright and the grass was sharp under them. The visiting team was already on the far end doing their thing.I led the squad to our sideline position and turned to face them."Formation two for warm up," I said. "Full energy from the first count. The crowd is already there, we match it."They spread out and I took my mark and called the count and we went.Two counts in I saw Brianna lean to Mia on her left and say something. Mia adjusted her spacing by half a step and it pulled the right side of the formation off mine. Not catastrophically. Just enoug
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 212: First game
Avery's POVLiam was sitting at my kitchen table when I came downstairs in my cheer kit and he looked up from his phone and the corner of his mouth went up in the way it did when he was trying not to make something into a bigger deal than it was."Don't," I said."I didn't say anything.""You were about to say something about the skirt.""I was not going to say anything about the skirt," he said. "I was going to say you are a very good looking cheerleading captain."I looked at him. "That was very smooth.""I know," he said.He was completely unbothered by his own smoothness, which was somehow worse than if he had been proud of it.I dropped my kit bag by the door and sat down across from him. We had an hour before we needed to leave the house for the first football game of the season. The house was quiet and outside, the evening was already dark and cold."How much of an ass was Colton all week?" I asked.He put his phone down. "How much do you want?""All of it," I said.He leaned b
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 025: Not your world
Avery's POVFor a moment nobody said anything.Jade stood two steps below us on the library steps with her shopping bag in her hand. I wondered how she knew where we were. Either way, the look on her face was not the quiet, contained version of hurt she had worn all afternoon at practice. This was
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 024: Working together
Avery's POVBrianna definitely had it coming and I wasn't going to let her get away with making me look bad this time.“I'll see you later.” Priya said and I watched her walk away.I took deep breaths to pace myself before springing into action that definitely would have consequences.I stood at th
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 032: Liking him more
Avery's POVHe did not answer straight away.I had asked about Jade like I was asking about a random stranger I didn't know. He was quiet as if there was an elephant in the room for a second or two before he picked it up. I lay still and waited and told myself I was just curious, that it was a natu
Falling for My Best Friend's Brother 029: The plot
Liam's POVI was three blocks from the library and still talking to myself.Who the fuck does she think she is?I kept walking with my hands deep in my pockets and my jaw so tight it ached. I had gone over it three times already and the answer was the same every time. Jade had stood on those steps
