Ashton pov
[October|Tigers football game]
After another great game by our team, I think I was starting to get the hang of understanding what is going on.
"I'll catch up with you guys later," I told my friends. After they left I stayed and waited to get Zach's attention. He waved at me as I was walking down to the field.
"What did you think?" He says with a proud smile.
"I thought you did very well," I said.
"Thank you." He says as he jokingly bows. "You should get down here so I could teach you something."
"No, it's alright I-"
He reached out his hand to me and looked into my eyes. "Please, for a few minutes." He begs.
I roll my eyes and then come down to the field. "Wow it's a lot bigger than our school," I said looking at all of the bleachers. It was like we were on a college campus.
"Yeah, I know... Now stand over there." He points to one of the yard lines on the field. "I'm gonna throw the ball, you run back to me."
"I don't know about this Zach," I said nervously.
"Don't worry. I won't do it hard."
"Okay." I took a firm stance as I was trying to prepare to catch the ball.
Zach winds his body back and throws the ball forward. I see as it comes towards my face. I stretched my arms out, closed my eyes, and prayed that the ball won't hit my face. Unexpectedly I felt something in my hands. I opened my eyes, instead of running to him, I ran away from him. When I glanced over my shoulder I noticed that he was chasing me. "You can't catch me." I teased then stuck out my tongue.
Not too long after I feel my body getting thrown in the air from behind with my legs flying in the air. "Okay, okay, I give up," I say painting trying to catch my breath. I turn around and face him as he still held me in his arms. Those Brown eyes looking back at me.
"You run fast." He says.
"You too."
He let's go of me and we just collapse on the ground. The bright light on the field still shining. I look at Zach again then look a way.
"You know... You should try to run track...." He says.
"Should I?" I chuckle.
"Yeah, you should."
"I don't do sports."
"But I've seen you lifting in the weight room at school."
"Yeah, but that's different..." I said.
He turns over facing me supporting himself with his arm.
"It's kinda funny seeing you still in the gear, you can take it off." I teased trying to change the subject.
"Do you wanna help me?"
"Not really."
He sits up, lifting his arm out begging me to help him.
