The Summer I Met You

«««Chapter 5»»»

Greg's POV

"We're up for a game."

I could see his face get red.

I KNEW he liked her!

Wait.. My face is warm..

I'm blushing aren't I..

Shoot.

Arg. Liz..

"What? Girls can't play volleyball?" Liz said, taking the ball from Eleanor

"WHA- NO I-"

"Or are you just scared cause we are gonna kick your assets?"

.. she IS funny .-.

Hoooooooooooooooot.

"Well.." Mason said, tired od observing situation and decided to join in.

Everyone turned to him as he walked to my side.

"How 'bout we have Ele and Liz on our side, and Aria and Meagan on Logan and Ivan's side."

... Uh oh.

Dude. What are you doing.

"Okay!" Ele said, running under the net to our side.

"But El-" Ivan mumbled.

"WHAT IVAN? DID YOU WANT SOMETHING?" Mason said, knowing he wanted Eleanor on his team.

"Wh-... No..." Ivan said, turning completely red.

"OKAY! Ele, would you like to serve?" Mason said, throwing her the ball.

"OOOH!" She seemed prepared.. Should I duck?... Nah. She's small. How much you wanna bet she's gonna mi-

*thunk*

Holy sheet of paper.

She upper handed a serve over the net to the other side with great speed and power.

Dang.

My glance went immediately to Ivan, who was so... distracted.

So distracted that..

He didn't notice the ball coming right at his face.

*thunk*

TIMBUUURRRRRR.

Down he fell.

I ran over to him, along with some other people.

Right when I leaned over to see if he was okay,

It was too late to realize that Liz had the same idea, and our heads collided.

*thunk*

*in unison*

"ARG. YOU IDIO-.. OH MY GOSH. IM SO SORRY. I-"

And as soon as we realized we were speaking in unison, we stopped.

I couldn't stop looking at her.

She didn't take her eyes off mine.

It was like I was in a trance.

A dream.

A spell.

"GREG. IS IVAN OKAY?" Mason yelled across the court, slapping me back into reality.

We both look back at Ivan, who was already sitting up, leaning back on his hands, looking at the both of us, with that.. "MHMM. YEAH. SHES 'NOT YOUR TYPE'." kind of look.

You poop face

He laughed and yelled back to Mason.

"YEAH. I'M FINE,"

And used his normal voice,

"Guess some of us are just a little distracted."

I watched him walk back to Mason to talk to him, about something that lacked my interest.

I quickly looked back to Liz, who was still rubbing her head.

I quickly stood up.

"Ar- Are you okay?"

I held out a hand, wanting to help her up.

She looked up at me.

Wow.. Shes.. Shes so.. pretty.

"Yeah, I'm fine.."

She took my hand, and ended up standing up a lot closer to me than I planned.

I was only slightly taller than her, so it was quite cute having her still look up at me..

I felt the spell overcome me again..

"HEY! ARE YOU PLAYING OR WHAT?" Aria yelled across the field.

I quickly looked back at them, and so did Liz.

Aria did this weird eyebrow thing to Liz, then mouthed something I didn't understand.

Ele seemed quite surprised too.

Ivan? Well,

Ivan looked back at me, and raised his eyebrows.

...

What?

...

I looked down.

Sheet.

I'm still holding her hand
