The Olympic Road

Teenage

By the time high school came around Charlie and I had became dedicated to ice skating. we lived and breathed ice. our families were pushing us harder than ever. We were wining things left and right, people said if keep this up we could be on the next trip the Olympics. that was the goal, the dream what we been fighting for all these years. me and Charlie began hanging out again becoming closer again. it felt nice.

One day me and Charlie went to a diner after school. (by the way I was still at the private school and Charlie in public) Charlie upped to drive. I was in my school uniform which I loved. it consisted of a a white button with a tie, a vest and a skirt that came mid thigh with a pair of sperry. we had just finishing order when someone had called Charlie's name. we both turned our heads to see a group of kids. two girls two boys. Charlie was clearly surprised by these but even more when one if the girls ran over and jumped in his lap. Charlie looked uneasy looking back and forth between me and blonde. the rest of the group walked over and piled into the booth. awkwardly crushed into the wall by some random guy. Charlie gave me apologetic look he then removed the blonde from his lap and placed her beside him but she sent me a death glare. I sent a curious look which he clearly avoided. I cleared my throat to make my presents know to the rest of the tables. when they all turned me looking confused. when the brute at the far end of the table began to began to talk.

He started asking Charlie questions. Charlie replayed with simply head movements. until I was finally included in the conversation.

"So your name is Meryl I heard" brute number 1 said(the one at the end of the table) "yes, yes it is" I replied before turning to Charlie shaking my head. brute number 1 then asked me are you currently single? i was appalled by the bluntness and so was Charlie by his expression. "I am what's it to you." I was in the market for a new friend if your available.

Oh since you said it that way I could use a few more of those. my name is Meryl yours are?

Brute 1 with dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes was called tucker and brute 2 was john with baby blue eyes a blow out type hair. they were both bigger than Charlie. I also found our that the girl who wasn't all over Charlie was named Abby. she was a sweet girl, we quickly became friends. after some small talk the blonde decided to introduce herself they called her Lacey. after finishing my food I remembered the big news my parents told me today. I was going to start school with Charlie!

I thought now was a good time to tell him.

Charlie who was slurping on his milkshake looked up slightly confused asking what. With a big smile on my face I answered "I'm going to start going to public school with you!!" he choked on his milkshake.

I wasn't expecting that reaction from him. Lacey started rubbing his back. after regaining composure from his coughing fit asked me to repeat that.

Now I was the confused one.
