When school rolled around it was back to normal, yet what the burly man said to me was still in my head. It was like reminding me that not everything was right there was more to this whole thing. It felt like everything was suddenly a coincidence as well. It was afternoon the day wear nearing to an end I thought and really hot.

"Next up Elsa" someone shouted I got up and dusted off my shorts

"Alright on your marks" shouted another man, I set myself in position there was a sports day in this school I had no idea. "Go!"

And off went the loud bang, I wasn't a runner but I could see I was gaining on the first two and when the wind hit my face I felt a sudden rush. I was feeling happy and seeing how good this felt, but it was done in seconds and I placed second respectively. I had no complaints but I did get a few congratulations from people whom I never spoke to.

I was still upset over Emerson but I didn't need to be, when I saw him across the other side I saw his small smile on his lips. I gave him a big grin, he was still with me and that night he never let go not even once. I had never felt so safe in someone's arms not even Cyrus could be like Emerson yet my heart was messed up.

When the boys went up I watched Emerson fly by, I was cheering him on as much as possible. At the corner of my eyes I could see Cyrus standing with his arms folded. I wasn't sure on how to look at him, when he confessed I didn't feel that it felt right yet my heart and body said otherwise. I saw girls flock over to him; his overall top was down so his singlet was showing. His arms glistened under the hot sun; it was a pretty hot day so no wonder.

I was watching him flirt with the other girls; a part of me wasn't sure on how to handle this. But I tried not to pay any attention. I felt like he was doing this on purpose as well, like he knew how to get my attention of course he was years older he would know how to catch a girl. I caught his eyes for a second and when I did I gave him a scowl and put my middle finger up at him, which startled him and made him grin. At that moment Emerson came by and hugged me from behind, I saw Cyrus's grin fade with a scowl and I smirked as I turned around.

"You did great!" I said and hugged him with a smile he made me feel warm

"You didn't do so bad yourself I didn't know you ran" he motioned

"When you have many bullies back home you got to learn to run" I murmured

"Sorry" he replied guilty and I shook my head and laughed he was so cute

"Don't be I'm fine aren't I?" I smiled and he grinned back

"Hey Emerson great job man!" Shouted a boy who was coming towards us, Emerson looked at me and then back at the boy.

"Go I'm going to get ready for the next match" I said and he smiled, giving my shoulders a squeeze and left to talk to the boy.

I at that moment, left to go and get a drink from the vending machine. I didn't know anyone was following me until they spoke up which made me jump.

(Cyrus)

I watched her flip the bird, I wasn't sure whether to laugh or scowl she was too much. I watched her run it felt like she was free, free from all this that was happening and nothing was tying her down. Her faced showed off such serenity that I never got tired of staring, I stopped my job just to stare and I was surprised to see her come second.
