My First Crush

Chapter 23: Details to Love

Cece´s POV

I felt the gaze of every kid at school upon me and though it was annoying, the fact that Evan ignored them pretty well made me more carefree. We arrived after lunch and I had PE classes. I was a mess, an actual and literal mess. A month ago I was running around with my perfect ponytail and my shorts revealing my perfect, tanned legs. Now I was looking like homeless that had bathed in vomit. My hair was dull and covered in sweat, as well as my shiny grose pallid face with horrible bags under the eyes. I was wearing some baggy pants and was using the regular uniform shirt that now hanged loose in my body (maybe I was a lot more skinner than before). Adding to it I was completely and utterly out of shape and I was struggling to breathe. My muscles ached like hell and I moved like a potatoes bag.

We were training for the cross country and I was way more behind that all the other girls and when the bell rang indicating the end of the day I still had a long way to get to the locker rooms.  Every step I made hurt  and I was finally left alone in the field, everybody was long ago in the locker rooms when my weak and slow body had only walked half a mile, and I had half more left when dizziness invaded me.

Evan´s POV

“Listen Collins I don´t know what is going on between you and Cece but we agreed-“ Jason intercepted be before I left the locker rooms but I interrupted his sh*ty speech.

“I don´t care what we agreed Dolley I will just warn you that I have gained Cece´s trust and I don´t want you nor Eric to messed that up” I told him.

“F*ck you Evan! We were in this together, we started this thing together and just because you don´t need us anymore you had no rights to make her all yours.” Jason said angry.

“Please don´t bullshit me with the together thing, I never liked you, you never liked me and if we ever shared time was because of Cece, she wants my help, not the help of a possessive crazy guy that tells her he cares about her but can´t understand her- Jason you don´t know a damn thing about Cece-“ I knew I was pissing him off and I was kind of doing it on purpose- I knew Jason had a pretty short temper when it came to my girl. Wait I just called Cece my girl?

“And you do? Come on Collins you have known her for less than I year so don´t you dare say you really know her. She will finally realized who does, I know her, I do since we were kids and you are not going to change that!”

“Since you were kids? That is not what Cece told me you asshole.” I was astounded by his infinite douche bag personality “ If you were a little bit, only a bit so less self-centered you would realized that you are a controlling freak.” I shouted at him and stormed off, maybe he would entered into reason that nobody want him around. I sensed he wanted her, maybe I first doubted Eric but I was starting to realized I was wrong. Jason wanted her badly, he had huge personality problems and he was mean to Cece almost always, it was the perfect cover up for the desire he had for her, and I hated that.

I waited like 10 minutes outside the locker rooms for Cece and she hadn´t still came out. Like, god, I knew that girls spend ages in the locker rooms but every girl had already came out and she still didn´t.

“Sorry is Cece Harper still inside?” I asked a girl that came out the door.

“Who? Umm sorry I don´t know her… Though I was the last one, there is no one more inside.” she explained.

“Okay thanks.”

Where was she know!?

I walked away and as soon as I stared at the filed I spotted a figure walking slowly behind some trees. Please tell me it wasn´t her… please tell me it wasn´t- I run towards it to be disappointed. She looked so ruined that my heart swirl broken remembering how I was supposed to look after her.
