her hair. Her shiny chestnut tresses cascaded down her back in perfect little ringlets. It usually took her about an hour to make those perfect little ringlets, but Jake loved her hair, so the time it took was no bother. She would do anything for him.
    Heather wasn’t surprised at all that she was the only sophomore in school to be dating a senior. Just look at me! Any guy would be lucky to have this! Jake was falling in love with her, she could tell. If things kept going like they were, Heather thought she and Jake could get married right out of high school, and then everyone would be so jealous of her. More jealous than they are now!
    Heather turned and looked at her backside. “Perfect,” she said. “Those butt lunges are really paying off!”
    She danced around her purple bedroom as if she were a bride dancing at her wedding. Heather Mitchell – Mrs. Jake Mitchell – Heather Andrews Mitchell , which one would she use? “Hey! How old do you have to be to get married anyway?” She asked her room. Heather thought it was stupid to put an age on love – true love. She was sure the idiots that made up that law had never been in love before – at least not in love with Jake Mitchell.
    Heather put the finishing touches on her lashes, answered two texts and went out to the living room. “Where is everyone?” She thought. “Oh yeah, Mom had to work tonight.” She remembered Eli was there earlier, but she didn’t hear anything coming from his room. Brody was asleep in his dog bed, but he smelled wet. “Maybe he got into something and had to get a bath,” she thought.
    She scribbled At the game with Jake on a napkin in the kitchen and left it on the counter. She had cleared it with her mom earlier in the week, but she didn’t need Mr. “I’m in charge when Mom’s gone” calling her cell all night.
    She grabbed an energy drink from the fridge and ran out when she heard Jake’s car in the drive. She jumped in the front seat and leaned over to give him a kiss.
    “You look great,” Jake said while looking directly at her chest.
    “Thanks, Babe.” Heather accepted the compliment without noticing his stare. She flipped down the car mirror to reapply the gloss she had lost kissing Jake hello.
    “I was talking to Tessa, and she said just about everybody’s going tonight,” gushed Heather.
    “Yeah,” replied Jake. “It’s going to be a good game. I know we’ll win, though. Darren and Peyton are beasts. Not to mention our defensive line with Hansen and all those guys.”
    “Oh, I don’t care either way. I just want to show you off to everyone!” Heather felt like all eyes were on her when she walked hanging onto his arm through the halls at school. A football game was even better, because there were people from other schools to witness their love.
    Twenty minutes later, they were making out in the parking lot, and Heather was getting bored. “What’s the point of dating a senior if you can’t be seen at a major social event?” She thought while Jake’s hands moved freely over her powder-blue sweater. She moved her head away from his and said, “Let’s go on into the game now, Babe. Our friends are probably looking for us.”
    Jake shrugged and removed his sticky hands from their prizes. Heather reapplied her lip gloss again and fixed her disheveled chestnut ringlets. At the gate, they showed their school badges and went in search of their friends.
    The scoreboard read Hallston Jaguars 14, Glovercroft Mustangs 7. The crowd was being stirred up by the cheer squad yelling, “Jaguars, Jaguars, GO, GO, GO!!” Pom-poms were shaking throughout the stands, and people had made signs out of poster board. It was all very exciting, and Heather was thrilled when she saw people looking at her with her future husband. I really look fantastic tonight!
    The make out session had left her thirsty, so they wandered over to the concession stand. Ms. Leezil was working and gave them a big smile. Everyone loved Ms.
