The next day everyone was clearing out of the locker room only Marc was left tying his shoes when Siegar walked in.
"Hey." Marc said while scratching the top of his head
"Hey." He said back taking his shoes out of his bag. Marc was just staring at him with a smile on his face then he grabbed his water and left Siegar in there by himself.All four boys ran up to coach out of breath,
"Alright, I've determined the sequence. Stef, you're our starter. Tom, second runner. Then the exchange between Marc and Siegar. Now you know who your partner is." As he finished up Marc looked over and smiled at Siegar,
"It all comes down to details. Everyone knows what to do." Coach said*
Siegar walked into Eddys room which was blaring music.
"Where were you going yesterday?" He asked him
"None of your business." He said sternly and continued reading his magazine
"Just tell me." He said hitting his knee
"Get lost." Eddy said kicking him
"I'll find out anyway." He said leaving his room.Stef and Siegar are riding bikes when they hear a moped and several of them. They follow the noise and find a bunch of kids on them riding around. They see purple jacket girl and walk up to her and her friends but Eddy stops his moped right infront of them.
"What are you doing here? Get lost." He says
"You'll keep your mouth shut, okay?" He tells him
"Is it yours?" Siegar asks. Someone yells for Eddy to come on
"None of your business."
"Where'd you get it?"he asked again
"Keep your mouth shut. Don't tell dad." He told him
"Will you keep it shut?" He asked again
"Yes." Siegar said annoyedStef is talking to purple jacket girl when he walks over there . The blond girl asks him to come with her so the can sit alone.

The next day Siegar walked over to Marc on the track and watched him holding up pretty damn good in a handstand.
"Hey."
"Hey." He says back to Siegar
Siegar then does something on is watch and starts running from side to side on the lines.
"Do you do that often?" Marc asks still in a handstand
"Three times a week." He answers him
"How many?" He asks
"Wait." As he goes to the last line and stops the watch.
"Three series in one minute." He tells him
"Okay."
"What are you doing?" He asks Marc
"This." He says as it's the most obvious thing ever
"Give it a try, then you'll see for yourself." Marc tells him, still holding in the handstand
"You just have to dare to." He tells him
"Just dare to?"
"Just do it."
"Just do it."
He gets the handstand and it's not the worst but still falls down. The second time he flipped over is not that much better at all
"Impressive." He says to Marc
Later they are sitting on a tarp in the field
"Are you the only runner in the family?" Marc asks
"My brother used to run as well." He told him
"Why did he stop?"
"It was after my mother's motor accident. I'm not really sure." He tells him truthfully
"Was he faster than you?"
"Was." He chuckles
"What about your family?" Siegar asked Marc
"My little sister is only seven. And my parents only just got married recently. They wanted my sister and me to be old enough to enjoy it." He told him and he laughed
"But we nearly missed the ceremony. My sister had locked herself in the toilet." They shared a laugh
Then they just looked at eachother and didn't say anything for a moment
"How about a sorbet?" Marc asked Siegar
"Yes? Then let's go."
"Alright."
They ride their bikes to wherever Marc was taking them
They walked infront of a small building and then Marc came around the corner with a big cart of ice cream
"What will it be sir?" Marc asked
He then started naming what was all there
"Hey." A woman called out from a window
"Hey." Marc said back
"Peekaboo." A little girl said putting her head out the window too
"Hey, Neeltje" Marc said to her
"Hey I got your new shoes upstairs for you." The woman said
"Thanks mom" Marc said then turned to Siegar
"This is where I live. This is Siegar."
"Hey, Siegar" his mom said
"Hey." He replied politely
"Made a choice yet?" Marc askedThey were just finishing up they're treat and making jokes and playing around when Neeltje came and tackled Marc.
"Neeltje." He picked her up and spun her around
"Dizzy?" He asked her and then sat her down
"Somersault." She said
"Somersault? One. Two." He picked her up over his shoulder and flipped her over then put her back on the ground.
Siegar watched closely at the two of them playing and couldn't help but laugh.
"Now this is training. Enough, go play with him now." He pointed toward Siegar
She grabbed his hand and helped him up
"Two. Three." And then he flipped her doing the somersault. they kept playing while Marc had the biggest smile on his face. They all went to go jump on the trampoline afterwards.
They laid down beside eachother with Neeltje in between them and they started to tickle her eventually she let them be alone as they continued to turn flips on the trampoline.
They landed on eachother, Marc's head was on Siegar's belly and Siegar put his arm around Marc's chest and Marc laid his hand on his arm and rubbed circles with it making butterflies shoot through Siegar's stomach!
Eventually Marc laid down beside Siegar with their faces inches away but they didn't kiss they stared at eachothers eyes getting lost together in them.
Siegar road home with the biggest smile he'd ever had. He was so happy. Today was a good day he thought.Then next morning at breakfast Siegar was reading a magazine and eating
"Won't you be late for work?" His dad asked Eddy
"They won't miss me." He said
"Eddy."
"Just joking, I'm off." He said got up and leftSiegar took a run afterwards and ran into the blond girl but she had a dog.
"Hey." He said to her
"Hey."
"What's his name?"
"Billie"
"Hey, Billie. My name is Siegar." He told the dog
"I think he likes you." She told him while smiling. It was windy out so I had to go
"I have to keep warm." I said while turning around
"Yes." She said in agreement
"Bye." And he jogged off
"Bye." she called after himSiegar was taking a shower when his brother walked in
"Why are you home?" He asked
"They didn't need me today." He replied. He was so confused and he wrinkled up his face
"What?" He just came over and told him to get out. He walked over to the mirror while doing off.
"Are you going steady yet?" He asked
"Well?"
I realized what he meant and gave him a piss off smile and he patted my cheek laughing and walking out the door.
