The Teenage Reality l.h

36. Head start

The whole entire afternoon I was watching my little sister play in the football (soccer) field with her friends, I played around with her here and there sometimes. I used to play football when I was her age as well, so I wasn't that blind when it come to football (soccer).

I pretty much had fun, I tried not thinking too much about what has been happening lately, I was just enjoying the freedom of the large field.

Sarah's coach blew the final whistle meaning that the game has ended, so far Sarah's legs hasn't snapped into pieces.

She have stick thin long legs, sometimes I cringe whenever she runs, her legs looks too fragile and it could possibly break if she runs too fast.

Sarah ran to me as I handed her water bottle.

Sarah sat next to me on the bleachers downing her drink. "Had fun?" I asked her smiling. "Yup"

I packed up all her things and left the football (soccer) field. "Do you want to stop by nandos?"

"Yes" She nodded her head aggressively. "Okay, tiger" I chuckled. "I'm hungry" She stuck her tongue out at me playfully.

We ate at nandos and it was amazing as always, Sarah and I definitely like hot sauces and nandos's obviously have the best hot sauces around Australia.

Absentmindedly, I picked the booth where Luke and I sat at when we came here. Sarah was sitting where Luke was sitting and my heart stung because it brought back memories from last time.

I pressed the home button on my phone that was placed on the table, I picked it up and switched it to camera.

Sarah was too busy eating so she didn't realized that I took a photo of her. I posted the photo on instagram and twitter with the caption;

@SkylaButler: Spent the whole day with this little bug today, what did you do?

We both spent the whole time talking and laughing at nandos, I should really do this with Sarah more often. I have never felt more free in my entire teenage life.

"Is Luke the guy that came to our house to drive you and Aiden to school?" Sarah asked curiously as she popped a fry in.

"Mhm" I nodded.

"He's really handsome" She commented.

I agreed, let's face it Luke is undeniably handsome and I don't think anyone could deny that unless it's just me. "He very much is"

"So you like him?" Sarah asked suddenly very interested. "Well I used to" I told her, I didn't really want to tell Sarah because she was still young and she shouldn't have anything negative surrounding her.

"Why?" Sarah asked. "Just because he did something bad" I shrugged sipping on my coke.

"What bad thing?" God, why are 7 year olds so curious about everything. "Just something very bad" I shook my head. "So are you done?" I asked her indicating about her food, changing the topic quickly before Sarah could ask anything else.

She nodded and ate the last fry before leaving nandos and getting inside the car.

"So if a guy is really handsome but has a really bad personality does that mean you shouldn't have a crush on him?" Sarah asked.

"Well yeah, looks doesn't always matter because when you grow old you won't be so attractive anymore and all that is left is your personality and that's why you need someone who has a really good personality like, dad for instance"

"Yeah dad is really ugly but he's really nice and funny" Sarah confessed confidently.

I bursted out laughing. "Oh Sarah" I wiped away the tears that were starting to form at the corner of my eyes. "I meant dad has a good personality, I'm not saying he's ugly" I was still laughing but Sarah still remained unsure on what I was laughing at.
