WELCOME TO COUGAR COUNTRY (open)

[the steel stringbean]

PLOT

School's out! Finally. Now all of our Cougar Country residents can forget about the pressure of academics and focus on what really matters: Prepping up for football next season. Most of our star players are seniors and the entire town expects them to be number one next season after winning state. Summer isn't just for football practice 24/7, the "hot spot" is DERRICK's new lakehouse that his parents bought him after overcoming their differences as a family, now they're closer than ever. And every one's liking the new and improved team player that DERRICK has become. He's the leader that everyone listens too and admires, which is why he's the MVP and team captain. Of course, our kids have to grow up sometime. Time for summer jobs! Some kids don't have to work, instead they go to the mall, play mini-golf, chill at their respective country clubs, and party it up all day. That, or they go to camps with other people, the football players don't have to worry about that until August. For most people, this is the last summer that they will all spend together, since next summer everyone has roadtrips or trips with their family planned. Let's make this summer memorable.

CHECK OUT THE SPORTS SECTION




The Cougars beat long time rival Hercules in the states (with a perfect 15-0 record) led by team captain and league MVP DERRICK BOONE with the assistance of the MVP of the game KYLE KINLOCH, connecting with DERRICK for two touchdowns and 157 yards teammate and go-to receiver TYLER for three touchdowns with 155 yards, along with the game winning touchdown with five seconds left on clock. Let's not forget about our running game, HENRY tore through the defense with one touchdown and 120 rushing yards. The Cougar defense hadn't performed well until the last quarter, most of the game was an air attack with Hercules ripping through the secondary like there was no tomorrow. Luckily, in the fourth quarterback the defense brought the heat with defensive team captains and best friends MATT and REAPER leading the way. REAPER intercepted the Hercules quarterback in the endzone not once, not twice, but THREE times! MATT aided the floppy, inaccurate passes by bringing some pressure by blitzing every down, and he was rewarded with three sacks and two forced fumbles. Hercules had been leading 41-35 because on one drive the Hercules free safety and middle linebacker teammed up to give star quarterback KYLE a concussion; thus, prompting Coach Whiston to bring in back-up quarterback and former Cougar team captain JOHN out to fumble twice and finish off with an interception. KYLE came back in with a buck thirty on the clock, ran the two minute drill, before hitting TYLER up for the game winning touchdown in the corner of the endzone with in double coverage. Cougars win 42-41 with KYLE kicking the extra point as time expires.

Apart from football, the other sports teams have been kicking a** as well. KYLE and DERRICK led the basketball team to states before losing by four points, both of them being co-captains with KYLE being the league high scorer and setting a new Cougar record. TYLER (right wing) and REAPER (defense) kicked some major a** in hockey, by sending the team to the state championship and winning it all, with the assistance of center DERRICK. Let's not forget about winter track, TYLER, JOHN, and HENRY with them getting first place in the 4x800 and 4x200 meters for the relay races. In the spring, THEO kicked a** as usual in rugby with the help with of DERRICK for their club team, the competition was tough but they got second place overall in their league. Unfortunately, soccer team with JOHN (mid) and DERRICK (striker) didn't do so hot and ended up not making the playoffs, maybe next years, guys. But damnnnnn the lax team is on FIRE! KYLE (attack), HENRY, TYLER (mid), and DERRICK (defense) are the dream team, almost beating out football with the crowd attendance, and wining states easily. Same goes for the lady Cougars lax with JASEY, RILEY, and KAT taking the team to regionals but losing in the second. Overall, it's been a good year athletically for the Cougars.

HE DID WHAT WITH WHO?


FRIENDS
TYLER x DERRICK - since john's out of the picture, tyler is derrick's new wingman.
THEO x MATT - the terrible twosome have been best friends since they met each other, although the respective women in their lives are starting to tear them apart.
CORY x KYLE - bffls, no one knows why they're friends, but they are and that's all that matters to them.
ROXY x SKYE - when roary backstabbed roxy, skye was there for her. now they're closer than ever.
ROARY x ROXY - it's a complicated friendship. they're always competing over something. one second they're best friends, the other they are at each other's throats.
JOHN x TYLER - derrick bailed on john and tyler's the only person that still tolerates him.
HENRY x KYLE - both of them started out the season with being overshadowed, under - rated, nobodies and now with a kickass lax and football team, they're still really good friends.
JASEY x RILEY - they both play lax and sleep around a lot, instant friends.

CRUSHES
SKYE x MATT - well, it's more one - sided to say the least, she wants him back and he's has his eye on someone else.
TYLER x ROARY - he's one of her favorite ********, and with her long list of guys, that definitely saying something.
TYLER x ROXY - he's liked her ever since they've met, but never acted on it because he was too busy chasing after roary or kat. she just thinks of him as a friend.
DERRICK x JASEY - they both like each other, but are too afraid of commitment to actually be exclusive.
DERRICK x RILEY - it makes sense that they're at least a little emotionally attached to each other after all the time's they ******** each other.
ROXY x JOHN - roxy wants john back, even though he's happy with roary, there's still some feelings there.
CORY x KYLE - they became best friends since he moved and something just clicked, but cory's perfectly happy with theo and kyle wouldn't do anything to jeopardize his friendship with either of them.
KYLE x JASEY - he likes her and she's oblivious to it. maybe if he could actually string at least two words together when he's around her they might have chance.

COUPLES
JOHN x ROARY - their relationship seems okay from the outside, maybe it will last this time, just as long as one of them stopped sleeping around behind the other's back.
CORY x THEO - paradise is over. lately, they can't stop arguing about anything.

EX'S
MATT x SKYE - she wasn't ready for a relationship and broke up with him, but now she's starting to regret that decision.
ROXY x JOHN - he was using her for roary and she was using him for henry. then somehow feelings developed. wonder how that happened.
TYLER x KAT - they were hot and heavy throughout junior year. then she moved away and the "it" couple broke up.

HOOK-UPS
DERRICK x JASEY - they might not be a couple, but they do ******** each other quite a bit.
MATT x SKYE - she wasn't ready for a relationship, but she was fine sleeping with him as much as she wanted.
DERRICK x RILEY - who didn't ******** riley?
MATT x RILEY - see above.
TYLER x ROARY - they're sneaking around behind john's back. there's some feelings there. is it enough for her to leave john?

ENEMIES
THEO x the world - he hates everyone apart from matt and cory. and he can barely stand them two.
ROARY x ROXY - they can be best friends and they can be enemies. roary has something roxy wants, and she won't stop at anything until she gets it.
SKYE x ROARY - they've always hated each other since they were little and skye still doesn't trust her.
DERRICK x JOHN - best friends turned enemies. derrick finally had enough of john after getting stabbed in the back.

WHAT WENT DOWN

» The biggest news right now? Everyone's talking about how Coach Whiston ditched the team for a head coaching job at Boston College. The new coach, Coach Lancaster, doesn't seem too tolerant of the players antics on or off the field. This guy means business. He came right out and said that not all returning seniors would make the team, guess this means they actually have to try - out this time. However, he's not exactly a good coach. He's a biased, arrogant p***k, and won't do what is good for the team. Coach Lancaster is strict, but a s**t coach, that won't sit well with the players. They dealt with the sociopath Whiston because he got them to win, even if he was a bit crazy to say the least.

» For the first time ever, JOHN and DERRICK aren't best friends anymore. Nope, DERRICK hates his guts. He finally got tired of JOHN treating everyone but him like s**t, and the one time that JOHN did treat DERRICK poorly, he ended their friendship once and for all.

» Fortunately for JOHN, he has someone else to cheer him up instead of DERRICK. JOHN and ROARY got back together, again. It would appear that both of them were actually happy for a few weeks. . .Until ROARY's attention started to drift, most notably to the freshly on the market TYLER. One of them has to call it off sooner or later. At least JOHN knows that ROXY will always be waiting for him.

» TYLER and KAT got together after homecoming and ended up going out for the rest of the year. Quickly becoming the new school's "it" couple, no one wanted to break the couple up, which was uncommon for HDT. It was going great until the end when she found out that she had to move. Well, not had to, she chose to move clear across the ocean to England. Ever since they broke up TYLER's been in a funk, and apparently ROARY noticed that along with his single status, so she helped him out. What are [******** buddies friends for? DERRICK's cheering TYLER on, he wants to take JOHN down, and is up for TYLER stealing his girl.

» One of the other hot couples are CORY and THEO. Their relationship is confusing, to say the least, but it worked. Up until now. Now they simply can't stand each other. They are always arguing about something. Once they (Well, one of them. We all know who the brains of the relationship is.) assessed the problem, they tried to fix it, by changing a few things about themselves in order to be more compatible. Now, CORY's loosening up quite a bit by going to more parties and being social. THEO's trying to be nicer, but that isn't working out too well. Some of the guys have taken a liking to a new nickname for him: WINDBAG. He doesn't back up what he says anymore, and that's irritating MATT. MATT doesn't like CORY, almost as much as THEO hates SKYE, she's turning his best friend into a tool. MATT's on a mission to bring back REAPER by throwing as many good - looking girls at him, so he can go back to his old ways, resulting in a lack of affection for CORY prompting many fights. Leading CORY to KYLE after their arguments, her attention is starting to drift from THEO to KYLE.

» Maybe MATT's just bitter about the fact that he's not in a relationship? Nah, that's not like him. He just doesn't like CORY. THEO still hates SKYE with a passion, that feeling seems to have escalated after SKYE broke up with MATT within weeks of getting together because she wasn't ready for a relationship. THEO thought that SKYE was just screwing around with MATT's head and hates her even more for the pain she caused him. MATT was fine with her breaking up with him, THEO wasn't. He's moved on almost completely, to whom? RILEY. SKYE's not happy about that. She wants him back, badly.

» DERRICK's been hooking up with two girls consistently, RILEY and JASEY. There's feelings involved. Somewhere. Deep Down. None of them would ever admit it.

» DERRICK's troublemaking cousin is in town. She's ready to raise some hell in Cougar Country, most likely to stir up some drama in a few relationships. She is only there for the summer, might as well make the most of it. Right now she has her eye on THEO and JOHN. Of course, she's only into them for the challenge of stealing another girl's guy. No wonder RILEY and her have become such good friends in so little time.

» The NAIVE FRESHMAN has been eying quite a few guys lately. At the top of her list are DERRICK and TYLER. DERRICK and TYLER wouldn't be that hard to get in bed, but why would two senior football players ever look at a freshmen girl? Well, she's incredibly hot and doesn't look like a stupid freshmen and she has connections with a few senior girls: ROARY, ROXY, and SKYE. She's like a little sister to all of them and since she has so many popular friends, she thinks high school will be a breeze. How could someone thats lived at Concord be so wrong. RILEY and THE TROUBLEMAKING COUSIN are already scheming against her, I sense a chick fight in the near future.

» Rumor is the THE HOT GYMNAST is back and looking better than ever (can't get that much uglier than where she was at). Her new look is turning heads. Behind that angelic face is a manipulative b***h scheming against all of the people that did her wrong like ROARY, ROXY, CORY, DERRICK, and JOHN. That might change once she actually starts talking to DERRICK and notices his change. She had a thing for TYLER way back when, but she changed. Right now, she's going after THEO and KYLE to test out her new look. She's gotten both of her attention, in a more than friendly way. Nothing happened of course, just some harmless flirting. After all THEO is in a relationship and KYLE is. . .KYLE, he doesn't do anything fun or that might actually benefit. him.
