My Freshman Year

Chapter 23

Ryan wasn't present today, which got me slightly worried. i was thinking about random things until Ann talked

"From Earth to Jennie"

"I repeat, from Earth to Jennie"

"Mayday mayday , the rocket is falling" i say , pretending a shock

"what happened ?"

"what do you mean ?"

"you never posted anything on Instagram and now you are posting pictures of a husky"

"Ryan gave it to me at midnight when he ki-"

"He what ?!" she says , with a huge smile on her face from ear to ear

i nod at her

"Please say it was under the rain !" she says , crossing her fingers

"It was !"

she squeals loudly

"Calm down !" i say , trying to get her to sit down

we keep eating our french fries while i was looking at her preparing to jump at her if she gets too excited

Roger came and sat with us.
"Hi, mind if i sit"

"You are sitting already"

"Is it bad to be polite" he says , putting his hand on his chest

"May i have your attention!" Shouts the monitor in the cafeteria
Everyone turns heads to face the teacher

"There will be a fundraiser going on in the school. You can sell the stuff we give you , or run a 50 lap marathon "

I am so running, i dont want to knock on doors begging for money.

The fundraising started today after school, which gave me time to get on my favorite running shoes, my turquoise converse, my most comfortable.
Oh how i loved these shoes.
I tie my hair up in a high ponytail and run out side to the field where the marathon will be held. When i was stretching my legs and doing warm- ups , i find some American-looking couple heading to the administration. Probably registering their kid
"Good luck with that" i mutter to myself . He/she will have to pass a test before entering the school.

The fake bullet shoots and i tun slowly waiting gor them to get all tired and go to the golden medal

They eventually get tired and i boost right up to the first place and see my name on top of the chart with 25 laps already done . I only have to do the other 25 and i will be raising a 150 £ for charity
I run like there is a pack of wolves chasing me with venom in their teeth. That technique worked like a charm , boosting me to the 30th lap already
"Twenty more , Jen , twenty more" I whisper to my self and take a deep breath and find some guy is near me already
Oh hell no ! I'm not letting anyone win this except me
I tend to be competitive sometimes

I am at the 45th lap when the other boy gets tired
I am ahead of most by 3 laps
I run at full speed thinking about the poisoning fog from the catching fire book. I am at the last lap , which is making me slow down a bit the end , catching my breath. Never do that. The boy who was close to me became closer until he passed me
I ran like there was no tomorrow and just cut that ribbon in half , donating 150£ to charity
I feel good with my self and go in to grab my water bottle where the couple found me and started asking

"Um , excuse me , where can i find the registration office ? "
I go ahead and give them a small map of the school and lead them through the hallways to the registration office where they thank me.
I run back home and head straight up to the shower because i stink so badly, Alexander would share a locker with his friend
I put on some of the scented soap and warm water. I stay for a while until mum knocks on the door , startling me.
"Are you done sweetheart?"
"Um , in a second" i yell
"Okay quick"
I had to leave the warm water and put on a towel and get in my room and get dressed and put on my fluffy leopard boot slipper . I go downstairs and get a poptart , toast it, and eat it until Austin returns from his job
"Hi" i say going up to him and hig him
"Hey blueberry "
"How are ya ?"
"Good , just a bad day at work"
"Want some of my poptart?" I say , handinv him my poptart
He eats it all in one bite
"I said some" i say , annoyed
"Oh , sorry" he says , with crumbs flying in my face
I sit and watch TV with Muffin sitting in my lap
I look at the clock and realize its way past midnight
This is what happens when you leave me on a Friday night

I go upstairs and sleep while Muffin is circiling my beanbag chair, getting ready to sleep. She eventually drifts off and i do the same
