Posted the third and last chapter of this story today, and yes, it's all about Vera. Enjoy.
For reasons I don't fully understand, I was in too much of a hurry to post this one. I looked it over again yesterday and saw that it was riddled with errors, mostly the miskeying kind. I've been properly punished for my haste with some lousy ratings. I went through it again this morning, corrected all the errors I could find, and reposted it. If you've already read it, don't bother reading it again. Nothing really changed in the plot or characters; I just did it to make myself look less like an idiot to future readers.
After I posted the first chapter of "... Football Hero" I noticed that I had changed the name of the high school part of the way through it. It didn't seem worth fixing at the time, but now that I'm writing the third chapter and I want to mention the school's name again, I decided to fix my error. So, yesterday I reposted the first chapter with 1(!) word changed. I guess it was worth it. I did sleep better last night.
I thought this was going to be the end of my Cassie tale, but I just can't quit her. One more (at least) coming.
Sometimes, actually most of the time, I forget that SOL is viewed all over the world. As I was reviewing my latest submission, I realized there were a couple of things that might have been confusing to someone not from the US. So here goes:
(1) The abbreviation "j.v." is short for junior varsity, which in most American high schools means athletic teams for ninth and tenth graders (14-15 years old, usually).
(2) And this one might come in handy for any readers under 50. The title of the story is the first line of a song that was popular 40-50-60??? years ago. The next line is "to get along with the beautiful girls".
There, I feel better. I now return you to your regularly scheduled reading.
