Chapter 18 - Eighteen

I walked out of my class, Amanda was standing by the door with a big smile on her face "Hey." I looked at her with a quick grin "Hey babe." She leaned against the wall "You wanted to talk to me?" I moved out of the doorway "Yeah, my dad wants to have dinner with us tonight. Do you have practice?" She looked around for someone "I have no idea. I don't think so, Casey said she had something to do tonight." I nodded my head as the thought came to me. Did she have a date with someone? I pushed the thought away immediately "She pushes you guys, huh?" She nodded her head as she bit the corner of her bottom lip "That's cheerleading. We work out just as much as football players. We break and sprain our bodies if we aren't careful. The flyers have to work on their balance a lot so that when we're up in the air we don't fall on top of our base or to the mats. I wanted to be a flyer but..." Casey walked up, cutting off Amanda unintentionally "Hey no more neck brace or crutches."
