Ceil’s smile faltered when her phone rang. She looked at the text. “So I guess its half time,” she mumbled.

"Wow, already?" Ciel raised her eyebrows. "Should we go back, or…?" She didn't want to leave, but if they had to, it was fine with her.

Melissa nodded and sighed. “Yeah I have to Brandon’s expecting me,” she said looking at the grass.

"Shoot. Well, let's head back now, I guess," Ciel said, trying not to sound too disappointed. She didn't want Melissa to feel bad. "I wonder how the game went so far?"

Melissa nodded. “Guess we’ll find out,” she said standing up.

"Yep." Ciel nodded, standing as well. Even though they had to leave this amazing place, she knew it existed now. She could always come back if she wanted to.

“We can come back after if you want,” she said really wanting to come back. She took her hand again.

"Ooh, yeah, that would be great!" Ciel exclaimed, squeezing Melissa's hand gently. "Does anything interesting happen during halftime, or is it even more boring than the actual game?"

“Its really just a break. The cheerleaders sometimes do something but I’m not sure if they have anything planned now,” she said.

"Huh. That is boring." Ciel laughed lightly. "Let's hope the cheerleaders will do something, for my sake. But if they don't, I'm sure I can spend a few minutes doing nothing."

Melissa smiled and nodded. They made it out of the woods. She reluctantly let go of Ciel’s hand once they where close to the field.

Ciel understood why Melissa let go of her hand, but that didn't stop the sudden rush of disappointment. She tried to stop it by listing all the reasons these feelings were stupid, but that didn't really help.

Once they where practically on the bleachers Melissa looked around for Brandon. To her horror and surprise he was talking to some people from the other team. People she recognized.

Ciel followed Melissa's gaze to see Brandon talking to people from the other school. "Do you want me to go sit in the bleachers while you talk to him?" She asked, glancing over at Melissa.

”if you um don’t mind. You can come with if you want to but it’ll be quick and probably boring,” she said. The cheerleaders where giving a performance.

Ciel frowned lightly, considering the options. She didn't want to leave Melissa alone, but she also didn't want to risk Branden getting mad at Melissa if he saw Ciel with her. "I'll chill right here and watch the cheerleaders, then," She said with a smile. If something went sideways– though she doubted anything like that would happen– Ciel would be able to react quickly.

“Ok I’ll be back in a bit,” she said smiling softly before walking away. She walked over to Brandon. He put an arm around her.

"Okay." Ciel's gaze followed Melissa, though she looked away as soon as Brandon put an arm around her. Instead, she watched the cheerleaders. She couldn't help the occasional glance towards the pair, however.

Melissa’s smiled grew fake as she stood there. Pretending to laugh and put her head on Brandon’s shoulder.

Ciel's lip curled into a small grimace and she turned to look back at the cheerleaders. Accepting the fact that Melissa had a boyfriend was not happening, and she didn't like seeing them together.

A while passed and the cheerleaders finished up. Brandon kisses Melissa goodbye and Melissa walked back over to Ciel biting her lip nervously.

"Hey," Ciel said softly. "Those cheerleaders weren't half bad. Much better than the football players, for sure." Not knowing what else to do, she gave Melissa a smile.

Melissa smiled and laughed slightly. "Yeah I wouldn't doubt it," She said. "Seems like our teams winning though. Want to go back before it starts up again."

"Is that an unusual occurrence?" Ciel asked, her smile turning into more of a playful smirk. "Yeah, sure." She nodded. It was pretty loud around the field and it was starting to annoy her.

"Yeah I know that my old school is extremely bad at football but we are also really bad," She said taking their hand against once they were semi far.
