Their team went wild, crowd cheering and cheerleaderscouldn't stop jumping around. I grimly noticed the contrast of our silentcrowd, stunned teammates... injured stars, and lack of cheerleaders. Coachlooked in my direction, and then back at the game. We had overtime toplay.I did my best, that's for sure. Even with an ice pack strapped around myankle, I cheered and cheered, limping around to give high fives and fireup my teammates. But in the end, Landon fouled out, and there was simplynobody left. Becky was getting dressed while Ashley was asleep."Chad, I have one question though. do you still like Ashley?" Becky said.It was the truth. I did. But it's too late now. I looked in Becky’s light brown eyes.“You really want to know something?" I said, surprised she asked.“Yes.”“You ever had a feeling that is more than lust, more than a crush... I wanted Ashley. I wanted her a lot.”She smirked.“I know. I know. I've had that too.” Rebecca said, putting her head on my shoulder. One week later. He had a spell ready to make mybreasts grow. I saw him go over his dreams the night before. Mine werejust not big enough for him. In his eyes, they haven't been growing fastenough. He brought out his scary book again. The new words he spoke mademy chest hurt. My small breasts and already puffy nipples were feelingvery engorged. It's like all the blood in my body was rushing to mynipples. I could see that smoke escape from his mouth again. The flesh onmy chest started expanding. My breasts. We stopped and waited."Stay where you are! Who are you?" A voice asked us from across the Interstate.Bennie shouted back, "We are Bennie and Janice Sullivan from Preservation." What do you want?" From you? Nothing. We're exploring for our community. We're peaceful unless attacked." Where are you from?" We're from Preservation, a new community close to Carrollton, Georgia. Who are you?" I'll ask the questions." Bennie hauled his horse around and I followed his lead. We began to walk the horses.
