"So what do you think really happend out there?"

1996

August wanted to be anywhere but here right now.

It was early morning, two hours shy from when she had to be in a classroom- foot tapping, eyes rolling, and boredom already becoming something she was dreading.

She flipped the fried eggs as her mom floated around the kitchen talking August and her siblings ear off about the next few days ahead.

Nothing she and her siblings hadn't heard before. Their mom had a press conference in Tampa and was already anticipating leaving her children behind for some hot fuck to probably make some more.

If there's anyone August hated it was her mother.

Usually as she was the eldest it was up to her to make sure her siblings were fed and roofed while her mother was gone, but in two days time she was sure she'd be at nationals winning the trophy with her best friend Van right at her side.

She couldn't wait.

"Now remember Augustine, no party's, no boys, absolutely no mischief while I'm gone."

She rolled her eyes, "that's nice and all mother, but it seems you've forgotten. Willa is in charge this week."

Her mother could only pause, sighing prickly like she hadn't known her daughter was going out of town for the past week.

"Fine. Willa you heard what I just said. Remember feed your brothers, your sister will leave you money on the table before she leaves, a vacation charge since she thinks she deserves to go on her trip."

August sighed sharply, scraping the rest of the eggs roughly on to the plate before placing it in front of her baby brother. Messing with his curls before moving on to her other brother, giving him is food as well- kissing the side of his head.

August and Willa served themselves, both having the smallest portion in comparison to their mother and brothers plates.

The two made eye contact, a silent promise made to be kept while August would be gone.

They kept the stare until a loud honking echoed from the outside of the house, a yell making its way from the screen door.

"A! We're late hurry the fuck up!"

August, avoiding her mother's glared scooped up the rest of her food. It being gone quick due to the urgency. Grabbing her bag sliding her books and pens inside and hopping to the door with one foot out of her shoe.

"Bye loves, mom- don't wait up!"

She yelled, running out the door to her smirking friend waiting impatiently for the brunette.

"How are the kiddies?" Was the first thing Van asked as August climed through her car window (the door was sealed shut).

"They could be better-"

One leg through.

"Uh- if my mom wasn't such a bitch, drive."

As she got her other leg in.

Van laughed and just sped off in her shitbox car she stole off her dad after he left.

Van and August met when they were in elementary school, initially bonding on the fact that they both had shitty moms and shared love for music and soccer.

After they had already become friends Van's dad left and August's died and the bond had been sealed forever.

Trauma can do that shit.

Wouldn't they know it.

"She still going on that trip?"

"Yup." And she was not happy about it. The trip hadn't even been scheduled when her team had won their ticket to nationals, but as soon as August brought up the tickets to her mom it had been suddenly booked for months.

Her mom hadn't wanted her to go.

"What our lovely mothers dont realize is once we are gone were gone- like do they think we'll just always stick around?"

Van had come up with the theory August's mom had scheduled the trip as a power move, a way to tell her even when the options right there- that'd she would never leave.

Thank god for Willa.

Willa was two years under August, a sophomore and August's first best friend. The two sisters are close and have already agreed to naming any future children after each other. Spouses be damned.

August scoffed once more, leaning down into her bag taking out her journal and turning up their favorite band. Noting that they were almost at the camp grounds where the party was being held. Yes the party was in their honor but with the two of them being in student council it was their job to help set these things up.

(It also helped the school didn't realize August had a fake ID and would usually booze these things up)

It's there fault for never having adult supervision at these things.

Hours later and now in the locker room prepping for the pep rally, the girls were in better moods. Blasting music and brushing hair was what you'd see and hear if you even walked past the girls locker room door in the hallway.

"here I go, here I go, here I go again! girls whats my weakness?" they all sang and shouted "men!" at the end.

Natalie and Lottie dancing around each other was all August could notice as she tried not to stare from her locker.

Only joining in on the fun as Van grabbed her arms and started jumping like they were about to get in a fight- singing along practically screaming the lyrics in each other's faces.

"i swear, I stared, my niece my witness, my brother had it goin on with something kind of. uh! wicked wicked had to kick it!"

Only letting go when it was clear they really didn't have the time to be fooling as the girls did face paint and tied up there sneakers.

August adjusted her bangs one more time before closing her locker and migrating to the far left of the room, where she could now hear the conversation happening.

"Well- hey at least you can wear it next year." Her best friend offered as comfort to the freshman pouting over prom.

"You don't get it Van, cause nobody asked you."

August raised her eyebrows at the white girls audacity and Van's non existent reaction. If it were her, she didn't give a damn that she was on her team why does she think it's any of her business?

"Okay, your done." Van said nodding lightly at the freshman. Until she smiled and walked away like she didn't just drop a bitch bomb.

Lottie waited by the door until she was gone, only letting out a "Jesus christ" at the display from minutes prior.

While snorts and chuckles were let out in the locker room. Before the four girls, Van, Lottie, Tai, and August moved to check their reflection in the mirror.

"Does someone wanna tell Kelly Kapowski

to maybe worry less about prom and maybe more about not fucking up nationals"

"Oh come on"

"She's right-"

"I mean if she plays like she did at states."

"That's not going to happen." Tai said leaning back with her arms crossed, letting August come over and help wrap a silk scarf around her head like a headband.

"Anyone see jackie?"

"Right here." The girl in question said, leaving the coaches office smirking smug and she gestured to the gym doors.

"Sounds like our cue gals" brushing past August's shoulder as she walked past.

"Sound like our cue gals" August repeated, mocking the teams captain making brief eye contact with Nat on the way out to the gym, hearing the last of the boys team lame portion of the celebration.

August knew she was a bitch eighty percent of the time. She just had little energy for others bullshit and can almost always tell when someone's going to end up being a snake. And little miss Jackie Taylor had been on that list since day one.

Starting to run when Jackie did, number 10 Augstine Jones made her effort to bask in the praise while she had it.

Smiling up at everyone at the bleachers feeling like she'd accomplished something, humming along in her head when she felt inspiration flooding towards her brain.

As soon as they were excused she ran back to the locker room searching for a pen and her book, settling for a pencil and a sticky note she'd shove in later writing down sort rhyming lines.

She knew the lines were sad, but they were just as much poetic if anything. Which was pretty much her brand with everything these days.

As the other girls rushed into the locker room, mostly prepping for the fact that now that the glory was over they had to practice for the next couple hours.

A faint clearing of a throat got her attention and she turns to the left to see Taissa nudging her head out side staring at her with wide eyes.

Taissa and August weren't close but the two had definitely established a bond. Being two of the very few black girls in their age group, plus their mutual connection and love for Van kept them friendly.

August shoved the sticky note somewhere in her locker, closing it before jogging out the room where she discovered Tai, Nat, and Lottie waiting for her to join them.

"Group meeting- now." Tai said leaning the other confused girls out the school.

"Sorry to burst your bubble there T but this isn't the team- it's like less than a portion of it." August said leaning up against a lamp post when they finally got outside.

Tai rolled her eyes and started her point. Talking about taking about Ally and how she would end up dragging down the team if they let her have the ball during nationals.

Nat looked upset and kept glancing at August expecting the same reaction.

Though all she would find was a contemplative face as she thought about what Taissa had brought up.

"This is what we've worked for all season. Do you really wanna take that chance?"

"Yeah" Nat said straighting up her shoulders, "because I'm not a fuckin asshole."

"What are you guys talking about?" Shauna joined,

"Ally" lottie said nodding her head slightly.

"What about her?"

"Did you black out at states? She totally choked-"

"She's a freshman-"

"Which is exactly why Tai has a point. She's a freshmen, she needs another year or so before being a varsity. I don't know what coach was thinking."

"Exactly she's a liability."

"So what do you want to do about it?"

"She can't screw up if she doesn't get the ball."

"You wanna freeze her out." Shauna concluded, as August raised her eyebrows expecting a better plan.

They were a team and while yes she was a liability it was a weaker move to just not use her at all. It shows that they aren't a team and that isn't what champions do.

"At least we know what we're working with." Tai said looking for security in her team.

Lottie and August stared at each other, "she kind of sucks but- I don't know."

August shook her head, "I agree she definitely shouldn't be playing- but maybe we could convince coach to bench her or something. I mean we really don't need her and it's for a logical reason."

Technically they really didn't need Ally there. The Yellowjackets had a centerback and Ally was really there for back up, which Lottie wouldn't end up needing anyway. It was better to just bench her incase the girls did need her.

"You need a logical reason because it's bullshit-"

"Oh yeah? What's your plan?"

"Play like a fucking team and win? Its worked so far."

She shook her head- "everything works until it doesn't. And for the record, you smell like a wino, get your shit together"

"Don't fuckin talk to her like that tai!"

"Okay- now you shut up." Nat waved her hand in August's face.

"You don't get to defend me after siding with her." She said, August rolling her eyes at the childness of it all.

"And you know what- fuck this." She threw her hands up and just walked away- the other girls letting her.

While August just sighed and followed after the blond who wasn't giving her the time of day. Eventually she followed Nat all the way to practice, where there was no opening to even talk to her.

But August knew that. Coach was a grade a asshole- even with Coach Scott taking over for him today. There were strict rules when it came to practice starting.

"Alright bring it in, take a knee ladies!"

Coach Scott said as everyone kneeled around him in the grass.

"What up state champs!" he yelled out as everyone cheered.

"Okay- so JV is gonna help us out with a little scrimmage today, uh Coach Martinez had to take care of a family thing, so JV your gonna grab a pinny from Misty and let's get started." Coach Scott said.

"uh excuse me Coach Scott? shouldnt we say a prayer first?" Laura Lee asked a hopeful but expectant expression on her face.

He hesitated but shook his head tiredly, "Its just a scrimmage Laura Lee, but sure. Yeah knock yourself out. Everyone joined together reluctantly and listened as laura lee said some prayer, everyone said amen and then as soon as they could got to playing the game.

Shauna dribbles upfield, easily maneuvering around the JV defender. Allie races open on her left, but Shauna ignores her, opting for a trickier pass to Van. When Natalie darts in and kicks the ball.

"Nat over here!" August said, but instead

she ignored her and passed the ball to Ally.

August just ignored the petty girl, continuing to run. Like she hadn't just been ignored.

"Alright lets go varsity! Taissa wants to see you step it up and quite frankly that makes two of us! lets see some hustle!" Coach Scott said.

The game kept progressing, getting slightly heated though only a scrimmage.

Shauna and Taissa continued on with the plan, dodging any attempt Ally made for the ball and it got to the point of Jackie and Van staring right at the two girls almost asking 'what the fuck?'

August who'd walked away before Shauna and Taissa agreed on the plan. Had only recently caught on to the fact that they were in fact going through with it.

She contemplated if she should or shouldn't- before she heard a sickening snap!

Turning her head to Taissa and Ally she sees- well she doesn't quite know what she's looking at, is that bone?

When she comes to the realization it is- August turns away immediately walking to the other side of the field trying to catch her breath in shock of what just happened, because previous to before the break she'd just been sprinting across the field.

Only half registering her best friend to the side of her throwing up her guts, until she snapped out of it and grabbed on to Van's hair as the girl puked.

Once Ally was taken by the ambulance, Coach Scott riding with her to the hospital the rest of the team walked back to the locker room in silence.

A tense air floating around as the girls slowly got ready to head home for the night until the party later.

Everyone's avoiding eye contact- really unsure about what they would even say if someone did open their mouth.

Except Nat, who's very obviously glaring at Tai. Jackie is the one who breaks the silence. Her perky voice echoing in the room as she says "I know we're all worried about Allie. But I really think we need

to focus on the positive right now. It might not be as bad as it looks"

Nat scoffs shaking her head.

"You could see her fucking bones, Jackie. I'm pretty sure it's exactly as bad as it looks."

"Oh God. I think I'm gonna puke again…" Van said, shaking her head regrettably, as August looked at her and hesitantly rubbed her back- hoping to give some sort of comfort.

Jackie glares a Nat, taking a breath before continuing "I mean, we're still a team. And we still have each other. And…"

She drifted off as August muttered "some team we are" shaking her head and looking to nat with an apologetic look. The guilt already rushing in, knowing she even just slightly agreed with the plan.

Jackie just turned to Shauna hoping for some backup- but really all she got was a tired look.

Natalie just slams her locker shut. Done with this conversation and intense air. Leaving the locker room dramatically as Augustine not so discrete slowly inched up and followed after the girl.

Hoping it looked like she just wanted to get out of there despite Van being her ride.

(Though she wasn't really)

Following Nat out into the hallway all the way till they made it to Nats car. August very quickly snatching the keys from her already knowing most likely she wasn't sober.

They both got in and August started driving, the same tense air having followed all the way to the car.

"So, are you going to stay mad at me forever?"

Natalie sighed and turned to look out the window. "I'm- I'm not mad at you okay."

"Okay? So why do I suddenly feel like I ripped up your favorite Montley Crue shirt?" August asked the fake blond teasingly.

That got Nat to loosen up a bit, "Oh please if anything it's your favorite shirt- with how often you steal it."

"The day I stop wearing your clothes is the day we break up love."

"Yeah well that's not happening anytime soon." She said, suddenly staring at August with her pouty lip jutted out like she was upset.

August and Van had to be the queens of secret relationships. Though August definitely took the title for this one because hers remained a secret to her best friend.

August and Natalie had almost always been foils in their day to day life. Pure opposites yet so alike at the same time, they clashed perfectly.

They had years of unreleased sexual tension by homecoming of junior year, they were fucking by Christmas and in love by Valentines.

The two had kept it a secret for their parents sake, with Nats dad and August's mom being on their backs constantly it was easier keeping those parts of themselves hidden away.

The only one who even knew they were closer than just two teammates was Natalie's mom who just assumed they were close friends who had a lot of sleepovers.

Van knows that there's someone in August's life she just never pushes for details. If anyone knows the backlash a secret coming out can have its her.

So she goes with the flow dropping August off everyday and going home with Taissa, only knowing that her friends has a ride with someone who loves her.

Speaking of a ride. August pulls over, face impassive as she stared at nothing. Nat knows better than to say anything, giving time and patience to the girl in front of her.

August's hands came up to Nats face, redirecting the girls focus to her. Cupping her cheeks and bringing their lips together.

Although the annoyance for her girlfriend was still firmly in her chest, she would never fight August. Instead leaning further into the kiss.

When they separated all August could think was, "You sure your not mad?"

"No, more disappointed that you would've just let that happen." She said, grazing her hand up and down the brunettes cheek.

Leaning closer, right up next to August's ear she whispers. "But I may know of a few ways you can make it up to me." She smirks leaning back on the leather seats, looking down at her girlfriends love shining through her eyes as clear as glass.

"Well then I must not disappoint."

Hope you guys liked it- please don't be a silent reader, and please let me know if you'd like to be tagged! Augustines face claim is young Tatyana Ali- in specifics her teenage Fresh prince of Belair era. Willa's face claim is young halle bailey:)

Thanks for reading, see you soon!
