Running

Chapter 17: Math

Vanessa POV:

It was now the end of school and Tyler and I made plan to meet up at his house so he can help me with math. I honestly don't like the fact that it's Tyler, but I need to put my issues aside. since yesterday I still can't stop thinking who Tessa is. Maybe it's his girlfriend

Focus Vanessa you really need to pass

And whoever Tessa is, it's non of your business

I was sitting in the girls locker room, still trying to process the information my father gave me. I got up and made my way to the track where I had practice with the team.

I felt my phone vibrate. Miss Diaz

Vanessa, I need you to take over practice today please. Work on starts!

Okay, thats weird why me?

"Okay, girls Coach wont make it today, so she asked me to take over practice today" I announced

"Why you?" asked Asher

What is her problem with me? I'm starting to hate her to be honest, since day one she always finds the smallest thing a problem

She is starting to irritate me

"If you have a problem with that take it to Coach, I have no time to argue with you and deal with your bullshit. If you have a problem with me coaching today, then you are more then welcome to leave." I answered frustrated

"Warm up please" I added walking away

We warmed up for around 25 minutes and it was time to start focusing on the starts

"Okay girls come together please" I said gesturing to them to come to me

"We will work on starts, I have noticed that a few of you have problems with the first few meters, the start is one of the most important things when it comes to running. If you dont have a powerful start, then you will be a second or two behind. Focus on keeping you head down, but dont forget about your arms and legs. Keep your knees up and your arms need to move in sink with the legs. The faster you move your arms the faster your legs will go to keep up" I finished

The practice went on, we practiced on our starts and let me just say they got better already, now we just need to work on keeping the speed throughout the race and controlling their breathing

They will get there

I know it

After school I drove home and hopped in the shower for a few minutes. After my shower I went to my room and through on some black leggings and a dark blue hoodie. I got my math books and went downstairs

"Aunt Lucy, I'm going to Tyler's house for Math!" I yelled while walking down the stairs

"okay, be careful" I heard my Aunt yell from her office

I got my keys and made my way outside, I hopped on my motorcycle and drove away

After a while I finally found Tyler's house. A big white house, the kind in which most American kids dreamed of growing up. Secluded among trees on one of the most exclusive streets, it had gables, dormers, balconies, a screened-in front porch, a free-standing garage, formal gardens, the American dream.

I parked my motorcycle and got off, I walked towards the front door, I knock on the door and wait for someone to open

A young woman on her mid 30s opened the door, she was about 5 feet tall, she had beautiful long brown hair and hazel eyes. She wore a gold chain and a tight blue dress. Shes Gorgeous. Her dark blue dress made her skin glow

Wow

"Hello, you must be Vanessa. I'm Isabella, Tyler's mom" she said reaching her hand so I could shake it

"Hi, nice to meet you Mrs Scott" I answered shaking her hand

"Oh no, Mrs Scott makes me sound old, please call me Isabella" she said with a smile on her face

"Please come in, Tyler will be down in a minute" she mentioned moving aside

I walked in and the first thing I saw was the large, spacious living room, decorated with white and gold furniture.

"Tyler, Vanessa is here! I'm sending her to your room!" she yelled from downstairs

She's sending me or taking me?

"You can go upstairs; his room is the third door on the left" she yelled walking away from me

What the hell. She expects me to find his room in this huge mansion

I'll probably get lost. I guess I have to try

Walking up the stairs I noticed all the family pictures, wedding pictures, pictures of little Tyler and another girl.

The picture that caught my attention was a picture of Tyler, he looks around 10 and he is covered in cake. With a huge smile on his face

OMG Tyler looks so cute

Vanessa focus, you need to find his room, if he finds me here, he will think Im weird.

I walk up the stairs and found myself on a corridor with doors next to doors. I remember Isabella saying his room was the third door on the left. Okay

This should be easy

I found the third door and knocked. But no one opened the door

I knocked again and still no one opened

Should I open it?

Yeah, I should

I place my hand on the door knob and turned it slowly, hesitant to walk in, but I did anyways

"Tyler?" I whispered and didn't get any response, but I could hear someone there

I opened the door and saw Tyler working out with his headphones on, now wonder why he didnt hear me

He had his back faced toward me, so he didnt see or hear me come in.

I walked slowly behind him and tried to scare him

"BOO!" I yelled

"What the fuck, you scared the Shit out of me V!" Tyler yelled

I couldnt help myself. I burst out laughing. I laughed for so long that my stomach started to ache, my eyes started to tear up.

"You should have seen your face" I pointed out laughing

"Whatever V, give me 10 minutes and I'll be back" he said walking away

"Okay" I replied while sitting on a chair in his room. I take out my phone and open Instagram, I scroll through Instagram while I wait for him

Suddenly his door open, and a shirtless Tyler walks in, with his hair soaking wet and a towel wrapped around his waist.

Damn has an amazing body. Those abs whaaat?

I mean he plays football and Daniel said he also does boxing, so what else was I expecting?

"Take a picture it will last longer!" he joked with a smirk on his face

"No thanks, I'm good" I lied looking down on my phone again

He walked to his cupboard and got some clothes out and walked toward the door.

"I'll be right back; get you books out and get ready!" he said walking out of his room again

I got my book out and got ready as I was told

"So, what do you struggle with?" he asked walking in and sitting next to me

"To be honest everything, there are a few things I get but I just need to practice more" I answered

"Okay, let's start from the very beginning okay" he said smiling

He isnt as bad as people say, he has a good side, he is mean sometimes but nothing I cant handle
