"Okay, your position is a little off, but we'll work on that." Nick said circling me, watching me do squats, push-ups and sit-ups. Breathing heavily I said "What'd you mean position?" I stood up grabbing my water canister, taking a sip.

"Your arms have to be in this kind of position," Nick demonstrated, Nick was quite fit, being in rugby you have to be pretty fit so I would understand why he was.

"So like this?" I did the same arm movements as Nick, he walked over and put his hand on my arm lifting it to the right height.

"Like that. Now when you do your squats you want to keep your arms in that position." He smiled looking at me struggle to do a simple squat.

"I'm not used to doing squats, I normally do the typical workouts."

"That's alright we'll work on it more." Nick said right in time because Mrs.Singh blew her whistle signifying, practice was over.

"Good job today everyone, you all will keep these partners the rest of the year."

"I'll see you later then?" Nick said picking up his water canister. I nodded.

"Alright." Nick paused at the school doors.

"Do you want to maybe come 'round my house? For practice." He quickly said.

"I don't know, I'm supposed to be hanging out with Tao and Charlie." I lied, I wasn't hanging out with anyone. I just didn't want to go over to Nick's today. His smile fell to an embarrassed look.

"Oh, sorry. I'll see you tomorrow Molly." Nick waved before walking into the school doors.

"Molly, I never thought you would have to reject Nick Nelson." Tao said walking out of the school building.

"Tao? Were you listening the whole time?" He nodded.

"That and I also ran into Nick." I looked at Tao confused.

"I heard him under his breath say, 'I'm so stupid to invite Molly to my house.' Ouch." Tao made a fake hurt face and grabbed his heart.

"Come on, I've gotta go get changed. Plus it's cold out here."

I shut off my phone and went downstairs. I walked into the kitchen, a blast of beef pot roast hit my nose. 

"Mum the food smells amazing!" 

"Thank you. Your sister and Chris are coming home to eat dinner with us. Go put something else on her husband is gonna be here, I don't want you looking whorish." I looked down at my outfit, I was wearing shorts and a tank top.

"What's so wrong with my outfit? It's just shorts and a tank top." Mum scoffed.

"Do what I told you and go change!" 

I turned towards the stairs, slowly dragging my feet up each step.  When I get up to my room I hear the doorbell meaning my sister has arrived. Downstairs I could softly hear Mum.

"Amy! Chris! How are you guys?" Mum always liked Amy better than me, no matter if I got good grades, or if I did all my chores. I was still the disrespectful one I was still the disobedient one. Amy had always been a good sister, always there for me, trying to defend me the best she could.

"Hi Mum, we're fine. Where's Molly?" Amy asked. 

"She's upstairs changing, she was wearing the most whorish thing!" 

"What was she wearing?" 

"A tanktop and shorts! I told her since you and Chris are coming for dinner that she had to change, just so it wouldn't attract any unwanted attention from Chris." Mum acted like saying that was a power move or something.

"Mum! This is her house too. She shouldn't have to change just because Chris is here! Chris is family!" Amy shouted, I'd never heard her shout at anyone before, let alone Mum.

I was finally dressed 'appropriately' so I joined everyone else downstairs in the kitchen.

"Hi Amy!" I said entering the kitchen. 

"Molly! Hi! I've missed you! How have you been? Do you have a boyfriend?" Amy hugged me so tight I could hardly breathe. She finally let go, after catching my breath I responded. 

"I've been good, I aced a maths test last week, so thats good! No, I don't yet have a boyfriend." I laughed and sighed at the same time.

"Oh come on there has to be at least one boy? You play rugby right, there has to be a rugby guy that you like?" 

"I mean I got paired up with a guy for the rest of rugby season. So I guess that counts." I grabbed a glass out of the cupboard, taking the orange juice out of the fridge. 

"What's his name? If you have a boyfriend I should be the first to know!" Mum asked sternly.

"His name is Nick Nelson, but I don't like him like that." I took a sip of orange juice before continuing. "Him and my ex-bestfriend dated, so if I were to date him, I would still feel terrible even if me and Imogen aren't friends anymore." Amy just looked at me with a smile. 

"Oh you'll eventually fall like madly in love with Nick, ESPECIALY if you guys are paired up for the rest of rugby season. Which isn't it like the whole school year?" Amy stated.

I thought to myself, 'Maybe she's right I mean he is super nice and cu-" Wait what was I thinking, I DON'T LIKE NICK NELSON!!!

*Ping* *Ping* I checked my phone.
