I watched her as she walked off. Inside I wanted to follow her, but I knew I had to go back to track. I told myself to get up but all I did was watch her walk to her mom and drive off.
"Get up off your butt an back to practice." I muttered to myself. I eventually got up, but my thoughts were on her, I was so worried about her. The image of her shuddering and falling over into my arms, unconscious, was one of the scariest things ever. She was only out for a few seconds but, I just didn't know what to do. So I did the dumbest thing ever, I shook her awake.
I sighed. Nothing I could do now.
Track passed slowly, I couldn't get her off my mind. When track finally ended and it was time for me to walk home with Kyrin, my best friend.
We met at the front of the track with our backpacks and started to walk
"Dude," Kyrin said, "what's wrong?"
I sighed, why does he pick up on everything?
"I don't actually know, you know Clara?"
"And how she passed out at track today?"
"Yeah-"
"And when you went to help her she passed out again?"
"How did you know that?!" I asked in alarm
"I'm not an idiot," he scoffed "I watched you carry her off and saw all that happen."
"Creeppeerrr" I teased. He rolled his eyes at me. We continued to walk in silence.
"Soo," Kyrin said teasingly "Do you like her or are you still unsure?"
He used air quotes when he said "unsure"
"Yeah." I said, smiling.
Kyrin laughed at me "Well it about time you admitted that. You've liked her for a while."
"Yeah, I guess it has been a while."
"You guess?! You liked her in 7th grade dude! Were 8th graders going into high school!"
"I'm not going to admit anything to you ever again," I laughed "besides, I don't know if she likes me back."
"I'm not expert on girls," Kyrin said "but I'm pretty positive she likes you."
Hearing this made me feel happy. I couldn't help grinning.
We kept talking until we got to my house. I waved goodbye to Kyrin and walked in.
"Tanner? You home?" My moms voice called.
"Yeah! I'm home." I called back
"Come to the kitchen! I have cookies!"
That encouraged me. I ran over to the kitchen, all my little sisters and brothers were sitting at the table.
I'm the oldest of 8 kids. Corey and Chloē are twins, they are 12. Next comes Erin, she's 10. Ruby is 8, Jake is 6, Meridian and Avery are 4, and the youngest- Max is 2. They all greeted me with "Tanner! Hi!"
"Hey guys," I replied, smiling a bit "how was your day guys?"
I listened to everyone, even Max who just muttered "Tammer! Yay!" And went back to scribbling on his paper. My mom asked how my day was.
"It was fine," I replied- I gave her the 'not right now' look "now I have to go do some homework." I ruffled Maxes hair and walked upstairs. I plopped down on my bed, but before I could pull anything out of my bag I fell asleep.
