Never In A Million Years

Chapter Twenty-Four

~Boithuto's POV~

I can't believe what just happened. It all was just a blur. I fail to understand, how I could have let this happen. I spend so much time perfecting my take off, ensuring it comes out crystal clear. I jacked up.How could I let her beat me again. 

I felt the piercing eyes of the crowd as I walked off the track. I could feel the boiling tears accumulating in my eyes, and I was more than certain Ally was smirking, but when I gathered myself together and looked back, she seemed more than worried. I heard as Karabo and Isaac, screamed in sync and saw the hurting eyes of Allyson. 

For some reason, I was content. Happy though. Not because Karabo screamed out loud like that, but because Isaac did too. I soon found myself smiling. Approaching the bench in the indoor training grounds like a lump of sappy Boithuto. I sat down and watched the race from in there. 

They had just taken off and the Jamaicans were already making their move. I couldn't help but hope that Allyson makes it. I grabbed the handles of the chair once I saw Allyson picking up her pace. She was fourth now. C'mon! Only two make it through by right.

Allyson was a good runner, she just needs to believe in herself, one, and two she needs to release that hidden speed. GET IN THE GAME GIRL! I found myself mentally screaming. 

Just like fire, burning hotter and hotter, her speed increased, faster and faster. My hopes multiplied more and more. My spirit raised higher and higher.

I could feel the weight being lifted from my shoulders. Kinda like what happens when Isaac comforts me. 

Wait, what? No. Not feelings. Not again.

I'm not ready for this crap. Not again. NO.

And with Isaac, he obviously doesn't feel the same way. 

Done. Bye feelings.
