Chapter 23

Graces POV
    I stand in my stupid running position. Ugh I really don't feel like running right now. I just want it to be the end of the day so I can go over to Jacobs house! I hear the whistle go off, and I look behind me to see Jacob sprinting towards me with the metal thingy that people use in relays. Oh god... he looks so hot. Wait, I can't get distracted! I have to beat Rowland Jr! Jacob was ahead of Sydney, who went first on the other team. He gets closer to me, and I get into my stance. What if I mess up? Will Jacob think I'm not athletic? Will Jacob think weirdly of me? Ugh what am I thinking. I'm thinking to much. All I need to do is run and beat Brandon.

"Go!" Jacob yells. I start running, and he hand off the "relay stick". I feel his hand touch mine, and sparks go off in my stomach. Ugh, the Sparks.

"Go!" Jacob yells again. I run As fast as I can. I look to the right of me and see Brandon behind me. Haha, and he thought he could beat me. I hand it off to Aubree, and holy shit can she run fast. No surprise though, last year she was in track and she was really good. Our teacher said whatever team wins gets extra time to change, which meant I could get ready for Jacobs.

"Go Aubree!" I yell. I hear Jacob yell to, and I look back at him and he winks at me. My heart is meltinggggggggg.

"Go Joseph! You got this!" Jacob yells. I look ahead and see that Joseph was running against Mark. Haha, whoever though he was fast is stupid. Mark wouldn't be able to run even if was to chipotle. Joseph was almost first, until Bella sped past him. Bella's team got first, and we got second. Got damn it Bella, why do you have to be so fast?!

"Congrats guys! You can go! For everyone else, one lap around the track. Then you can go." The gym teacher says. Aubree and I start running, until Jacob catches up with me.

"Hey! Are you excited about coming over?" Jacob asks.

"Well duh." I say. Ugh, why did I say that. I mentally slap myself in the head.

"Oh cool. I didn't think I was that cool!" He says and laughs. His laugh is so cute! We talk for a little bit longer, until we have ran one lap. Aubree and I go in the locker rooms and get changed.

"How do I look?" I ask once I get ready.

"Like you always do." Aubree says, with a little bit of annoyance in her voice.

"Ok!" I say. We walk out of the locker rooms, and the bell rings. I pass Brandon in the hallway, and I beat him.

"Haha, beat you jr." I say. He crosses his arms and does a pouty face.

"That's because you had Aubree! And she has like super speed or something!" He says.

"Well I beat you, and I don't have super speed." I say. I flip my hair and walk away. I'm such a savage. I get to my locker, and see Hunter leaning against it talking to Mark.

"What to you want Hunturd?" I ask, and I hear Mark laugh. Jacob wasn't at his locker yet, either he is waiting for me or he hasn't gotten out of the locker room yet.

"You never said why you couldn't walk with me." He says.

"Because I'm hanging out with one of my friends." I say.

"Who?!" Mark and Hunter both say at the same time. I grab my backpack and stuff and shut my locker. I tap Jacobs locker and walk away. Take a hint boys!
