I stood outside, waiting for Luc to get here. My phone vibrated, it was my friend Melody.
But I still don’t understand why you would break up with Trevor, I mean you went through all that trouble with Kayla, and now you’re just giving up.
I squeezed my eyes shut. She didn’t get it.
A honk pulled me out of my thoughts. Luc was here.
“Hey, Annabelle,” Luc said, smiling.
“What’s up?”
“Uh, not much, are you okay?”
“What? Oh, yeah, Melody is just…you know, being pushy, and its annoying me,” I grumbled. Luc was one of my best guy friends. I had known him since I was in middle school, we had been on the cross country team, and had be put together because we were the fastest on the team.
“About Trevor?”
“Yeah, she’s freaking out because we went through all that trouble with Kayla, and how she liked Trevor, and I just break up with him…She doesn’t get that that is why I broke up with Trevor.”
“Well, you did the right thing, unless Kayla was just jealous, she has been known to get jealous,” Luc said, turning into the school athletic parking. “But you can forget it all, It was my turn to make the workout, and I decided to see how ‘well rounded’ we are.”
I groaned, “Why do you do this to me?”
“Haha, you’ll be glad next season when coach makes you run a sprint instead of the mile.”
“Fine, as long as I can forget about everything during this.” I always hated myself when I let Luc make the workouts. After 8th grade he had gone to sprinting instead of distance, where I was, so when we did his workouts they were usually sprint training,
I began to braid my blond as we walked to the track
“I still don’t get why you don’t cut your hair,” Luc said. He had been on my case for forever about how long it was.
“I really don’t see how my hair length makes a difference, I know it’s heavier than short hair, but I like it like this,”
“Whatever, you’ll see when you meet, what's her face again? Valarie?”
I rolled my eyes. “You’re still going on about that? I don’t care about her; she can keep trying to beat me if she wants. If she does, well congratulations, I couldn’t care less.”
“So that’s why your workouts have gotten so rigorous…” Luc smirked at me. It had always been like this, Luc constantly teasing me, and me constantly disagreeing, it was reliable.
We had gotten to the track now and didn’t have time to talk. I looked at what Luc had written down. I sighed; it wouldn’t be to bad if I work it right.
As time past I could feel my muscles starting to complain, I must still be sore from yesterday. We took a break around two, and then went back at it until three.
“That wasn’t to bad, now was it?” Luc asked, smiling.
I smiled back at him, “No, you didn’t make it to bad, and I guess it was my turn to sprint, you do all those distance things with me.”
Luc winked, and we sat in comfortable silence for a while. I thought about Trevor, I had really liked him, but I knew I wouldn’t have wanted Kayla to date a guy I liked while I liked him, so I had ended it, ended it before it got complicated.
“You know what's pathetic?” I asked suddenly. It had been on my mind for a while,
“No, what?”
“I still haven’t had my first kiss yet.”
“Really? Why?” Luc asked, taking a gulp from his water bottle.
I shrugged, “I want to find the right guy, and I thought Trevor was right, but with all the drama with Kayla…it just wasn’t right, you know? Everyone makes it out to be this big deal, and I just want to know what its like…” I trailed of.
“Well, it’s like this…” And before I could comprehend what his intentions were Luc was leaning in and pressing his lips to mine.
His lips were soft, and gentle, and before I knew it he was pulling away. I sat, stunned at what he had just done.
“I’m sorry, I thought…you should know.” Luc mutter, before turning and running away.
