I do not own Degrassi or any of the characters. I do own my story though. I know this chapter is short, but please comment/rate/review. Thanks!

“Heads up!” Bruce “The Moose” heard as he looked up to see a football spiraling towards his head. He got up from his seat on one of the many picnic tables and grabbed the ball. Across from him he could see the football star, Riley Stavros, signaling that he was open. Bruce brought his arm back and threw the ball straight to Riley. Riley caught the ball and headed over. “Nice throw!” He said enthusiastically. “Ever thought about trying out?” “You’ve got to be kidding.” Moose said with a sarcastic expression. “Me play football? No way.”

“Oh come on! Is the idea of playing football with me really that bad?” Moose rolled his eyes. “I have a reputation to uphold. And I do not play football.” Bruce started to turn but Riley grabbed his shoulders and made him stay. “So you won’t play on the team. I do need someone to practice with some days after school and no one on the team can throw like that. We can either practice in my backyard or somewhere else if you are worried about someone seeing it. What do you think?” He thought it over a minute before sighing. “Fine.” Bruce grumbled. “Meet me behind the school at 3:45. Sharp. If this doesn’t work today, that’s it. Got it?” Riley nodded and released Bruce’s shoulders. “See you then.” He said as he turned and walked back to his team.
