THEME SONG • 'Kiwi' By Harry Styles

"She worked her way through a cheap pack of cigarettes

Hard liquor mixed with a bit of intellect
And all the boys, they were saying they were into it

Such a pretty face, on a pretty neck"

Jackson's POV


"Alright boys! practice is over, hit the showers!" Coach Holden yells, blowing his whistle as we all run over to get a drink, puffed and tired.

"Monday morning practices suck" Grayson says, trying to catch his breath like the rest of us. "I know, especially after sleeping in for the past few months, training was only in the afternoons, take me back, please" Aiden whines.

"Boys, not complaining about training are we? I thought I worked you all easy today" Coach questions, "No coach, it was good, plenty good, in fact it was perfect!" Aiden rambles, trying to get himself off the hook, I side glance him and he immediately stops, knowing how much of a fool he is making of himself.

"Alright then, I will see you boys tomorrow afternoon in the weights room, now hurry up! You all have classes soon and you stink" he says in disgust, walking away.

The boys and I all walk to the locker room, showering and getting ready for classes that we all have to get to.

"Why did I choose to take an 8:00 am class?" Mattie asks to no one in particular, "I have no clue man, I made the same mistake last year and you knew how much I hated it" I respond. Rule 101 of college; never take an 8am class on a Monday, you may think that's a sleep in, but believe me, it's not.

"What's everyone doing tonight?" Grayson asks Mattie, Aiden and I, otherwise the 'Owners' of the football house for the year. Every year, coach picks who he wants to live in the football house, and they get to stay there for free until they finish school. While a lot of boys hang out around the house, many of them staying over during the night, there are always 4-5 boys who stay there full time to 'manage' it. Mattie, Grayson and I moved in in sophomore year, with Juniors at the time, who graduated last year.

This year, Coach only decided to add one person, that being Aiden Walker; best running back I have ever seen, he has the speed of a lightning bolt, and he has a good grip as well. No one even comes close to Aiden's talent in the grades below us on the team, so it makes sense that only he was able to join.

I was fine with Aiden joining, I had gotten to know him a lot last year, and only him moving in got to mean another extra room in the house, perfect for a room to go to in need of a release.

Basically what I mean is, the boys and I's rooms are off limits to girls, they hold our personal belongings and other shit we don't want people seeing. So, during parties, those rooms are locked and instead we use the 3 bedrooms downstairs if we want to, along with any of the other football boys who want to use them or stay the night.
