Gabriel shouted, shoving his way through the applauding crowd.  The camera flashes were blinding.  He shielded his eyes in time to see Roseline dash down the stadium stairs, leaving a bewildered Sadie and William behind.  “Rose, stop!” “Gabriel,” a shrill cry rang out as arms wrapped tightly around his chest.  He glanced down, instantly annoyed. “Not now Claire.” “Oh come on.  Let’s celebrate!  You won the game,” she purred, curling her finger around a lock of his hair.  “I’ll make it worth your while,” she grinned mischievously. “Not gonna happen Claire.”  He unhooked her hands and shoved her aside, ignoring her indignant shriek as he ran full out towards the bleachers. “Over here son,” Steve called out, a wide grin plastered on his face.  College scouts were flocked around Gabriel’s dad.  “I have some people I’d like for you to meet.” “I’ll be right back,” he called, slipping into the crowd descending from the bleachers.  “Where is she?”
