Just another rowing story (Completed)

Chapter One (The beginning)

What is love? Is it just a word we humans throw around? Is it an expression, a feeling, you get when you really want something or need it? I really don't know what it is, but what I do know, is that I think I have it.

I am just an ordinary girl living a normal life, my name is Lee and this is my rowing story.

I thought this would be one sport that I would hate, it started off like that. All we did was run, row and do ergo tests. It was so much of an effort. (For those who do not know what an ergo is, it is a stupid machine that tells you lies about how long you do a 1km test or even a 10km test.) I just wanted to quit it all, but I would miss my true gossip girl Cat and my white on the outside but black in the inside friend Yummy (Real name Abby). Oh yeah and the other people too.

So yes I decided to stay another week in this place of torture. The only thing that kept me going was my future husband Hayden , he was guiding me and telling me to go on . (When I grow up I am so marrying him.) Hayden my love I'll do it only for you. So I stayed, worst mistake of my life!!! And so my story begins.

Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday we had rowing. I mean why is this sport basically everyday, I might as well row myself to church on Sundays. How can I cope with this?

                                      ********
We had an early practice on Saturday morning , it drained the life out of me . I had no food, I mean out of all the people in the world I have no food. I always have food! That was a surprise to all I tell you. Anyway I sucked it up for the whole day. The clock finally hit three, it was finally time to go home . Alleluia!! But yet again Liya( one of the  other people I mentioned), Cat and I were the last ones to go home. Our parents had already started the routine of fetching us late. How could they ? They were embarrassing us in front of the white people. They were probably saying in their heads that this is so what black people do.

And so we became the P.B.P club within rowing. This stood for the Pure Black People. We were the last people to get there and the last people to go home. Our parents stuck to their roots. Don't judge I wanted our name to be the B.G.G meaning the Black Gossip girls it sounds way cooler but it didn't make the cut . Anyway back to the Saturday after rowing.

Like I said it was only us and also the Godfrey's that were left . (The Godfrey's are the family that owns the rowing place and their sons row.) Then out of no where someone taps me on my Shoulder . First I wanted to bang my bag on that person's head and say,"Can't you see I'm in deep thought I mean honestly?" But instead I turned around and said,"Yes." The person who was standing in front of me was a skinny, odd looking boy. He was the Godfrey's youngest son Ed , he was the same age as me from what I had heard about him.

What did he want? I mean I have only seen him row and that's all . What would he want with me. And so I had to ask what he wanted. And he said,"Are you the Lee who friend requested me on Facebook?" I just looked at him with my most evil look and this is what I wanted to say,"Who do you think you are , me of all people , friend request you? Have you lost your mind , I don't do the requesting people request to be my friends." But this is actually what I said,"I have never done that, are you sure her name was Lee?" I asked raising a curious brow.

Ed nodded confidently,"Yeah I am pretty sure it was but that's okay , anyway I am Ed and you?" "I am Lee and this is  Cat and Liya." "Oh okay." That's all he said and then he left . I mean what kind of guy does that? After hours of waiting our parents finally arrive after we waited for them for so long.

Before I left I couldn't stop thinking about Ed. What a weird person. The whole of the following week I kept dreaming about what Ed had said. I couldn't stop thinking if maybe I did send a friend request to him on one of my depressed days when no one friend requested me .

So I decided to prove to myself, it was not me by checking on my Facebook account activities. When I opened my account and slowly scrolled down to see. To my horror I kinda did send him that friend request to him. This was just one of the most embarrassing things that has ever happened to me. I was utterly embarrassed, what in human nature was I thinking? I am a total idiot. WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!
