Chapter 10 | People Change

Jamie's POV

What on earth was I thinking?

I was supposed to try and fix things with Ethan. I wanted to sort things out, ask why he'd just stopped talking to me all of a sudden. Instead I did the completely opposite and most stupid thing in thinking 'two can play that game' which had completely escalated the whole situation from there.

I acted like I hated him, although I really didn't. I gave him the most coldest glares in the world whenever he locked eyes with me, yet all I wanted to do was just smile right back at him and get lost in his eyes.

And whatever had just happened just then, the two of us falling down on the soccer field felt all to similar to what happened in Geelong when Ethan had fallen on top of me and had kissed me.

Something about his expression told me that he was thinking the same thing, that he remembered...  But then again, I didn't know Ethan anymore the way I used to.

Sometimes I felt so sure about a person, that I thought I literally knew everything about them. I could read their face, I could understand what they were thinking and feeling. I knew likes and dislikes, and every small characteristic that made up them as a person.

Yet a year or so could slowly pass and change all that, and I guess what I'm really trying to say is that people change. In more specific terms, Ethan had changed and I still wasn't used to that at all.

I guess maybe part of me wanted to know if he still did really care about me. If all this anger that I was displaying might of brought out something else in him, a sign of sympathy even a smile. All I'd managed to get was a smirk. That was start at least, so I couldn't say I was solely disappointed.

I let all my thoughts of Ethan drop as I concentrated back on the game slowly walking away from him and avoiding his long-lasting gaze.

It was beginning to slightly make me curious as to why he had been staring at me for so long.

"Excuse me, what's you name?" The coach glanced sideways at me, as I was still trying to balance myself in my feet to recover from falling over.

I felt my muscles on my face tense up as I uttered out my name, "Jamie."

"Well Jamie, that was one pretty good tackle big make sure you don't play too dirty..."

I nodded at the coach, looking down to hide my embarrassment from all the smirks and snickers from the boys around me and then quickly let my eyes fall back to Ethan again to see if he was still staring at me.

He surprisingly still was, but he wasn't smirking or laughing like everyone else. It was almost as though he was trying to hold it back, that if he even smiled at me it would hurt or wreck him...

And here I was again thinking that I knew Ethan inside out, from head to toe.

"You don't know Ethan anymore." I had to silently remind myself as I watched him take his position back on the field in the defence line.

The game resumed, the ball constantly flying back and forth as I was commanded by the rest of the teammates to go chase it every time it came up my way.

I used to play soccer heaps as a kid. When my dad wasn't as busy at work, he had a huge passion for soccer and loved getting me involved by always taking me down to the park for a fun kick around.

He made me join a team for a few years, but since we began to move after his job career took off is officially given it up.
