Besides making me come, Cade was also attentive to my feelings. He started talking to me about school, and my friends, however, he shied away from discussing my mother. It was as though seeing me in pain was unbearable to him. However, we did have a deep conversation about our childhoods and how terrible he was to me during that time. I received a full apology, which I gladly accepted.
“TOUCHDOWN!” yelled the announcer. I had been daydreaming about Cade for so long that I didn’t see the team make their first play. The game itself went by quickly as the other team struggled to make a single point against the Monsters.
“We’re winning so easily that I’m almost bored,” said Jill.
“What did I say about team spirit?” Penny scolded as she dug through the popcorn carton for remaining kernels.
“Isn’t this the worst one you’ve ever been to, Mairead?” Jill said as she rolled her eyes.
“This is my first football game,” I admitted. Suddenly, there was a gasp from my friends.
“Girl,” Penny said with wide eyes. “You are so sheltered.”
We all laughed as we watched the halftime ceremony commence. The bands from the opposing teams marched around one another, playing their team’s fight songs back to back. When they were done, a video played on the massive screen.
“Mayville Academy would like to recognize,” said a soft voice over the speakers. “One of our brightest, most talented athletes.”
Suddenly, a photo of Cade in his football gear was shown. Then I saw him run out onto the field, followed by his coach and some other teammates. Cade removed his helmet and waved to the crowd that cheered for him.
“Cade,” said the coach as he spoke into the microphone. “Ever since you joined varsity as a freshman…”
The coach paused for the crowd to stop screaming Cade’s name.
“You have been an inspiration for us all,” the coach continued. Then he raised a large golden trophy from a blue bag and handed it to Cade. “We’re here today at the start of a great season, to recognize you for breaking more athletics records than any other student in Mayville history!”
The crowd went even wilder. I stood along with them as the coach made Cade aim the trophy high into the air.
“Everyone, please give it up to our most valuable player, Cade Vandercamp!”
Just as the crowd screamed so loudly that I thought I might go deaf, the screen changed behind Cade above the field. I couldn’t feel more proud of him until, all at once, the crowd became silenced by what they saw. Cade’s face was tossing up and down in the dim light.
“Fuck, you’re tight,” Cade’s voice reverberated on the screen. Suddenly, people were cheering and laughing, just as I realized that we were all watching the video I had recorded of us having sex.
