Struggle

|| A Date? ||

~Lucas~

I walked back to the school and waited for Lily at the field . Meanwhile , I watched Ethan play .

Then , I watched River . He is like a brother to me .

He is my brother's bestfriend . He comes over a lot . But when I ask him about his family , he just changes the subject or ignore me .

So , i just thought , 'Maybe they don't get along because he's gay or something .'

"Luke!!!" I hear a high pitched voice . I turn around and saw Madison sitting on the bleachers .She waves at me and I give a weak wave .

I see Lily appear at the entrance and I wave more enthusiasticly . She waves back and walks over .

"Hey , I was starting to think you weren't gonna show ."

"I'm hurt ."

"You're learning , babe ."

"Thank you ." she curtsies .

Then Jake comes up behind her , panting and I instantly groan .

He heard it and looks up . "Well , sorry to disappoint ."

I pull Jake aside and whisper in his ear . "Get Maddi outta here ."

"ugh . Fine . But i'm doing this for Lily's sake ."

"Whatever ."

"Hey , I know you guys are gay and all but if don't want nothing , i think i'm gonna walk home with Maddi . bye baby ! "

"NO!!!"

They all turned to me in shock . I released Jake and calmed down . "I meant I was supposed to hang out with you today ."

"Okay ."

Jake went up to Maddi , talked a bit and left the field . I turned to Lily who was now sitting on the bleachers . I went up and sat down next to her .

"So this is your idea of hanging out ?"She asks gesturing to the football team .

I stood up and stretched my arms . " Well , if you prefer walking , im fine ."

She quickly pulled me back down . " No , but do we seriously have to watch them practice ? It's like , watching someone prepare pizza ."

"But that's so tempting ."

"Exactly ! This makes me wanna go on the field and run . For no specific reason ."

"Fine . but we jog 'cuz i'm not good at running . i'm fat ."

she laughed like an angel . wait , what the hell ? she's your bestfriend ! Who's practically dating your other bestfriend !

we go on to the field and jog around it being careful not to disturb their practice .

"I swear , if Jake hadn't asked me out , I would be full on make out session with Ethan right now . Holy shit he's hot ."

I looked at her like she was a hobo .

"Dude that's my brother ."

"Oh don't worry , you're kinda hot too ." Emphasis on the 'kinda'.

Is it weird that i am uncomfortable because she finds Ethan hotter than me ?

ugh , i'm weird .
