This boy next to my room

37

June

The next day, I wake up a little earlier than usual.

Today is Monday and the sport classes start again even if it's raining hard outside.

The first thing I do is think back to the night before with Connor. It was so unexpected and I still can't believe that I was able to get caught up in his game so easily. A little more and I would have ended up in his bed; I thank a thousand times the policeman who came to interrupt us by the way. He is my savior.

I sincerely hope that he won't put this back on the table because considering a sex friend type relationship with him is clearly not in my desires, besides I am interested in someone else at the moment, Tyler.

At least he's playing on one board.

I haven't forgotten how he picked up Cynthia yesterday in the playroom. They're really close and I don't want to get between them.

I hurry to the bathroom to brush my teeth as usual. I also take the opportunity to take a quick shower, some people judge me because I take showers before doing sports but personally it gives me energy and I reassure you, after sport I take one again.

I just had time to wrap my towel around my body when the door to Connor's room opened. I'm glad, because it would have been a few seconds earlier and he would have seen me naked.

I don't bother to look at him because I'm still so embarrassed and confused about the night before. I planned to act as if nothing had happened so as not to spread this story too far and not to appear suspicious to the others.

And anyway, it was a mistake on our part.

We both know we can't go beyond the rivalry.

"Cat got your tongue ?" He asks as he heads to the sink, where just yesterday I was kissing him.

"Knock next time before you come in, it would be better." I sigh in an innocent tone.

I can feel him watching my reflection from the mirror.

"Are you afraid we'll get carried away and go further if I check you out?" He provokes.

I sigh, ok he's definitely not going to forget this story on his own so I might as well ask him.

"Uh yeah.. About that... Could you please pretend that nothing happened? I don't want to ruin my chances with Tyler."

I barely finished my sentence when I heard his arrogant laugh. Actually, that one was REALLY arrogant. As if I had said something absurd or as if I had just broken his ego.

"You're wasting your time with him." He huffs.

"I don't need to listen to your warnings, he's very good and kind. Anyway, if you'll excuse me.." I replied as I headed for the door.

"For the kiss, I don't give a fuck. I had already forgotten about it anyway, so don't worry." He throws out firmly. At the sound of his harsh words, my heart tightens, what did I seriously expect ? That's still Connor the asshole.

"Cool.. That's fine with me then."

                                       ....

The gym program for this Monday is running. My urge to scream is at an all time high. I hate anything cardio because I don't have any, I can pass out just by running the distance of half the field so when the teacher tells us we're going to have to run forty laps of the field, it's like she's telling me I'm going to die beforehand.

Kathy is highly motivated, in fact it doesn't surprise me because she is a real sportswoman.

We reach the wet field and we all line up horizontally. I'm next to two boys who i don't know personally. Frankly, considering how strong they are, I wouldn't be surprised to see one or both of them succeed.

When the teacher gave the whistle for the start I jumped forward, unmotivated. But fortunately my start was not so bad because I am not the last.

As I run, people pass me and I pass people. Fatigue is mounting but it's not a handicap for the moment. I look up and to my surprise I see my room mate with Tyler.

Oh no, he didn't dare this asshole!

I take speed and approach them to listen to their discussion.
