##Chapter 34: Skye

Lanie pushes her way through the crowd as we walk up the stairs, looking for empty seats in the student section of the football stadium. Not only is it game day but it's also against one of Claremont's biggest rivals, Clemson University. The energy in the stadium is electric. There are easily ten thousand rowdy fans filling the stands. Camera crews are busy setting up their equipment on the field. Reporters are making projections about who will come out victorious. It's been a long time since I've attended a CU game. I almost forgot what a big deal they were. Half the state will turn up for them, and the other half will be glued to their big screens.

I glance across the bright green football field at the opponents cheering section. It's packed full of Clemson fans wearing orange and purple. I'm decked out in orange and black. Both Lanie and I have cougar decals on our cheeks.
