The jock and her nerdy mate

Chapter one Layla

     " C'mon Lay, If you don't win this race, Imma beat ya ass" Cicely screamed at me. i groaned internally. I pushed myself a little harder. shit, i hate a 200 meters and i hate 3 girls in front of me. I pushed myself a little more harder. okay, im doing good. I just have to pass 3 more girls then I'll win the XC invitational. I'm at the 100 meter now and im in a dead sprint. I can feel my legs aching, my throat burning for water and Jesus it's hot.

" LAYLA YOUR ALMOST THERE!! C'MON BABY 1 MORE GIRL!!!!! i heard my mom scream so loudly that in my peripheral vision i saw my dad flinch.

I'm running so fast that i cant feel my legs anymore. I feel like im flying. Now you know why love running. I love feeling the adrenaline pumping through me and i love the most is when i get my runner's high, which I have right now. The girl is right next to me, sprinting as fast as I am. Seeing that the finish line was right there, i popped my chest out a little, So there's a greater chance of me winning. I crossed the finish line and i hear the roar coming from my school. Middlelake High school.

     I collapsed onto the ground, barely being able to breathe, and look up at the score board and see my time, i got 16:38 seconds. Then the realization hit me like a bus, I won. SWEET BABY JESUS, I WON!! i see all everyone from Middlelake High school rush over to where i was. I was bombarded with 'Congrats!' 'You did good'   'Damn that was fast gurla'

       " EVERYBODY MOVE OUT OF MY FUCKING WAY!"

       I didnt even have to look up, i already knew that it was Cic. She jogs over to me with a very annoyed look on her face.

"Coach Daniel wants you to dip in the ice bath bucket, thinger majinger and then after that you have to do a 15 minute cool down." she sighed.

" Yo. What's. Wrong.?" i asked while heavily breathing. Woah today's competition was good in the meet.

     " Oh nothing, i went to go pee and the porter potties were super disgusting! and when i took my pants off , i saw that i got my period... Fuck me."

" Oh thats nice.. do you need some Tylenol?"

" Oh my gawwwd YASSSS!!! i love you so fucking much" She squealed.

      I shook my head and chuckled. We were slowly walking towards the huge bucket full of water and Ice.  I made Cic take off my shoes. she was resistant at first but eventually gave in when i pulled the best friend card.

" Your so lucky to have a best friend like me, What would you do without me?!!" Cic dramatically said. I slowly got into the ice bath. It was so cold but it felt so good because i just raced in a 5K and it was 97 degrees outside. i almost nearly fainted when i got to the finish line.

" Then unfortunately she'll make me do it for her"

     I turned around to see my dad with 2 yellow Gatorade bottles and a ton of food in his hands. "Pappy!!!!!!" i happily squealed. You snatched a Gatorade bottle and chugged it within a couple of seconds. " Woah their tiger, dont drink too fast" he told me. Did i ever listen though. Nope.

"Dadda, your also brought fooooood, I love you soooo much!" i said while stuffing a peanut butter jelly sandwich.

 "Well baby girl, im going to go home now. Your okay to drive right?" he questioned while putting all the food on my lap. " Yeah daddy I'll be fine. Plus Cic carpooled with me." i replied with my mouth full.

" Okay, You chica's be safe, and Cicely stay over for dinner, Emma is cooking dinner"

" Okay, Alpha Brett. Will do"

     I slowly got out of the ice tub. I kept on poking my legs because they were so numb due to the icy water.  I patted myself dry and packed all my stuff. We went to the award ceremony right after, of course Middlelake High school got 1st place and so did I.

     While we we're walking back to the car, i noticed Cic was unusually quiet. " Hey Cic, what happened."

" Oh its nothing Le-Le, I'm just not feeling it today." she replied with a shrug.

"No shit Sherlock, no tell me" 

"School starts tomorrow and I'm just sad that we have to wake up 5 in the morning everyday for nine months."

" Ohh true. i totally forgot. wanna sleep over at my house then we can get ready together in the morning." i offered

" Yea sure. sounds good,"

   We finally made it to my house, which it was in the middle of the woods. We ate my mom's famous pasta and basically showered and went to bed. Im gonna enjoy my senior year and hopefully it's drama free. and i finally drifted into a deep slumber.
