desiderium || Chris sturniolo

14

I hated this stupid stick. 

I hated that I was too stubborn to accept the one Chris gave me.

What I hated most was that it cost us the match. 

After the other team scored the winning goal, without a word i stormed for the locker rooms,

The rest of my teammates were close on my tail as I threw open the locker room door and turned around waiting for them. 

that was probably the worst game I had ever played. 

My head stung from being slammed into so many times and was quickly turning into a migraine.

"Alright everyone"coaches muttered as she entered into the room.

"I know that wasn't our best game but we can't beat ourselves up about it. We are still the best team in this town and we still have a chance at winning." 

I wasn't really in the mood for pep talks right now. I knew that she was trying to make everyone come back into practice with a good attitude but this loss rested solely on my shoulders.

I drowned the rest of her speech out and waited for her to dismiss us.

"Alright get out of here. I'll see you Monday night for practice" coach  said walking out. 

Taking that as my cue, I walked over to my own locker and pulled out my clothes before going to the girl's changing room and peeling of my soaked uniform.

My entire body was shivering from the cold since winter was just around the corner.
No one in the changing room spoke, which I was glad for. 

After I finished throwing on my black baggy hoodie,some baggy jeans, and my docs, I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed in annoyance. 

A moment passed before I stepped out of the changing room into the now dry air and ran face first into a short brunette girl.

"Good game today, Chalmers"  I raised my eyebrows at lyla Pickens standing in front of me. If there was one person in this world that I hated as much as Chris, it was her. And it was for a good reason.

"Is there something you need? Or are you just here to make everyone's life more miserable?" I asked walking past her. 

She let out an annoyed humph and stormed up beside me. "I'm here to tell you something that you should listen to." 

"And what is that?" 

"Chris doesn't like you." 

This made me laugh out loud.

"If you think that's something I don't know then you are as dumb as everyone thinks you are." 

She grabbed my arm and stopped me from walking. "I think we both know that I'm not dumb Quinn. I saw you two in the library two weeks ago" 

I immediately stiffened at her words. From what I remembered, it was just us two there. But I could've been too distracted to really notice.

"What's your point? I don't know what you saw but I can assure you it's not what you think" 

"Good. Because we both remember what happened the last time you got close to him." She said, a threat underlying her words. 

I smiled in amusement and ripped my arm from her grip. "If you're trying to lay claim to Chris, then don't bother. I want as much to do with him as I do with you.and that's really saying something" 

her eyes flaring angrily, "I'm just trying to save you heartbreak after all. No guy like that would go for someone like you." 

The fact that she really though this was bothering me only made my amusement grow.
