My enemy since childhood

Chapter 54

When i put on my ski clothes i felt like i was going to die of sweat as i stood in the small hall of our room waiting for Brooke to finish. How tough she was today then, i thought and leaned impatiently against the door.

It was getting close to ten thirty so i wasn't in a hurry, not really but i wanted to get off so i wouldn't risk being late for the ski lesson.

Ace had said to meet him at ten but with my bad skiing skills you never knew how long it would take to get down to the ski rental. I didn't really know how to brake so down i would get, but how far down? the ski rental was halfway to the lifts themselves. That thought made me laugh, it would indeed be a sight if i drove past Ace and destroyed it.

"Are you having fun?" Brooke asked as she came out into the hall.

"Had an internal vision of me barreling past Ace on the rental and then wrecking at the lifts again because i can't brake."

"Sure, you fell for the first time but come on even the best can fall."

"I know that, but it's still a funny thought and a clear sign that i need professional help, i'm a bloody danger to the public" i said and laughed again.

"You are not a danger to anyone, a danger to yourself maybe but not to the public" Brooke said so i raised my eyebrows questioningly as she put her phone in her jacket.

"What do you mean by that? Danger to myself?"

"Nothing special, or maybe you are in love with Thomas but you are still going to meet Ace."

"I'm not going to meet Ace, he's going to teach me to ski because that's his job."

"He's teaching kids to ski. I don't think you put adults in a children's group. Which means he wants to meet you."

"How would you know? I'm sure there will be other adults in the group, at least teenage over fifteen."

"It will turn out. Come on, let's go, i'm sweating to death."

I snorted as i opened the door. She was sweating to death? she was the one who had been taking time so if anyone was sweating to death it was me. But was she right? i knew nothing about how things worked at ski resorts. The group should be adjusted according to ability and not age, right?

Thoughtfully i stood quietly in the elevator but glanced at Brooke who looked down at her phone and smiled. Surely Alex had sent some cute text, which made me want to puke. It was so disgusting when pictures of the two of them together flickered past infornt of my eyes. Would i ever get used to it?

The elevator stopped softly in the entrance hall and i had a sudden feeling of claustrophobia, i needed air. Sure that it was probably a very cute text message that she received, but it reminded me so much of what i wanted....with Thomas. Imagine if he could send a cute text that made me so smile like that. Stupid jealousy, i thought, hurrying out the front door.

I couldn't get that thing with Thomas if i didn't talk to him, i reminded myself as i walked up to the ski rack where we had left our skis yesterday. Although the chances were pretty high that i would never get that with Thomas, i thought irritably and yanked on my skis, apparently so hard i was close to knocking them all over.

No point in rethinking and maybe, i have to talk to him. If he doesn't want me, well then i didn't have to join in even though i would probably die.
