I've been sharing samples from The Captain and the Cheerleader. So far we know that Susan English, a teacher at Fairfield High, bet another teach $50 that she can make the football coach ask her out. Some the teachers have also gotten in on the bet. They are still in the teacher's lounge when the football coach, Kurt, enters the room and asks them why they were all so quiet.
Susan spoke up before anyone else could answer.
“Oh, we were talking about the game tonight. Are
we going to beat Middleton?”
Kurt grinned and made Susan’s heart pick up a little speed. Bet every other woman in the room had the same reaction. Could any woman alive resist Kurt Deveraux’s smile?
Kurt shrugged. “Just between ourselves, we’re going to get our butts kicked, but the boys will do their best, so if we lose, we lose. We don’t have the talent that Middleton does.”

Susan stared straight into those beautiful blue
eyes; “You’ve done everything you can to get them
ready.

A bet-- I'm intrigued to know how it will all pan out.
ReplyDeleteNow I am wondering how it will turn out. Great snippet!
ReplyDeleteThat's a scary bet to make! I have a feeling he won't make it too easy for her to win. :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Elayne, I'm here as a moderator today, and couldn't find your link back to Wewriwa. Could you fix that? That'd be awesome! A gambling man, hmm?
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! This is like high school drama for adults, and I love it! Can't wait for next week. :-)

Impressive writing.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the excerpt, felt like I was in the teachers' lounge with them.
ReplyDeleteAn exciting time in the teacher's lounge and what happens next with the handsome coach and the bet. Fun and games with the faculty.
ReplyDeleteI love his honesty about them getting their butts kicked.
ReplyDeleteI admire his attitude. He's not the sort that screams at students for losing.
ReplyDeleteThe setting and the people are engaging and believable. I like this.
ReplyDeleteGreat snippet, can't wait to see how this pans out.
ReplyDeleteNice snippet ... let's wait what she'll do to lure him :-)
ReplyDeleteHum, that's nice. I know what she wants with him but I wonder if going at it through the team is a good strategy. I hope she shows up at the game.
