Runner

Chapter 4

I slam my books onto my desk when I enter Social Studies.

"Whoa what's wrong with you?" Asked Caden.

I look over at Lindsey who is having trouble fitting in her desk.

"Her!" I say pointing.

She saw me and just smiled at me and waved like we have been friends forever. Which just makes me even more pissed.

"What happened?"

"Oh she fought Macy and got her suspended for three weeks!"

"Oh, but if she fought Macy shouldn't she be the one suspended?"

"No because everyone loves Lindsey and she can't do a thing wrong even though she's pregnant!" I whisper yell.

"That sucks." He shrugs.

I slouch into my seat and glare at Lindsey thinking of how many things I should and could do to her.

After what seemed like a lifetime the bell rings to tell us that school has ended.

I rush to my locker and start putting my stuff into my backpack, just as I go to shut my locker someone else does it for me.

"Listen bitch if I could I would get you suspended too! But Little Miss. Track Runner won't get suspended because state is in four weeks for you, and of course you'll probably win it again like last year and make our school look good!" She screeches having both hands on her stomach one on top one on bottom.

"Whoops sorry for being skinny and being able to walk and run right and not have to wobble around like my grandmother every where I go!" I shoot back.

Lindseys face turned really red probably at the fact that I actually sassed back. (I usually keep to myself around her)

"Bye,bye!" I say with a little wave as she walks away.

She turns around a flips me off then keeps going.

After I get out of the building I wait with the track team for our buses.

"So who exactly won the fight?" Caden ask wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"Oh my god Caden shut up!" I say hitting him playfully.

He hold up his hands defensibly. "Hey, I just wanna know alright."

"I say Macy." I shrug.

"Well congrats Macy!" He laughs.

I smile, not really in the greatest mood at the moment.

"So I was uh..wondering if you would like to go see a movie with me or something?"

"Is Caden Akal actually blushing?!" I say in shock.

"Well what do you expect?" He laughs.

I laugh "I would love to go see a movie with you!"

"Great! So uh, what day?" He ask fiddling with his hands.

"I can do Friday if that's good for you?"

"That's good!" He smiles big.

A couple minutes later the bus comes to a stop with the breaks screaming.

"After you." Caden says politely when I go to the door.

"I was planning on it anyways, and just because she are going on a date don't become all sweet and everything." I laugh.

He laughs "whatever."

He sits by me on the bus. A couple of his friends yell stuff like, "Caden slaying!" or "Caden is that your girl?"

"Shut up!" Caden yelled laughing and blushing.

"Oh my god Caden stop all the blushing!" I laugh.

"I honestly can't help it. This may be cheesy but your beautiful and you act like you don't even know it."

Now it's my turn to blush "thank you." I say looking out the window smiling big.

About seventeen minutes later we finally end up at the track for practice. We do our regular two lap warm up, then our stretches, and then our team chat with coach.

"All right ladies and gentlemen Conference is in two weeks! We are all going to start practicing really hard!"

She keeps talking for a really long time but then comes to a stop.

"Okay! Long distance runner today you are running a twenty minute run and sprinters we will be running 200 and 100 yards!"

"Can I have the watch?" I ask walking up to coach.

"Yeah!" She says tossing is to me.

"Thanks!" I walk away and go to the group of boys and girls of long distance runners.

I look at the watch "three....two....one....go!" I say then we all go at a slow pace.

"Please cut time short!" Caden whispered to me.

"Maybe, maybe not." I laugh.

About fifteen minutes later my legs start to hurt really bad.

"Ok, maybe I should cut time short." I whisper to Caden.

"Good decision!" He breaths.

Two minutes later I decide to stop the time.

"Okay, that's  time!" I yell.

Everyone stopped breathing heavily and putting their hands over their heads.

"Good job guys!" I say breathing hardish.

About two minutes later we all get up from stretching. There are a lot of moans from everyone getting up slowly.

I smile at the group for like no reason at all.

"Thank you again, I don't know what I would do without you if you didn't cut the time short." Caden says laughing.

I laugh "Don't thank me a whole lot it was only three minutes."

"Three minutes could have killed me!" He says sarcastically.

I chuckle "Oh really?"

"Maybe..." He holds on and looks away.

I look up at him and smile.

He looks down at me and smile for a slight moment, before the coach blows her annoying whistle.

Sorry for not writing for a very LONG time. I have been really busy with school, sports, and family and friends. There has been a lot going on for a while and it's all calmed down a lot, so I'm going to be writing a lot more. Thank you guys for reading my story I really appreciate it. Love you! 😘
