The boy in the wheelchair

"You did what????" Georgia said surprised.
"Wow nice job bro."
"Derek do you ever plan to grow up? " said Sue annoyed.
"Never I'm Peter Pan."
"Guys can we please stop with Peter Pan. Simon what happened next? " asked Tom.
"Nothing. I tried to talk to her but she said only sorry and to forget about that. We trained again after that but she didn't say a word. "
"I don't get it why she acts so difficult. I mean you did nothing wrong. It's not like she is your stepsister or a thing like that. She's hiding something. " said Georgia.
"I already know that but I what?"
"Maybe she isn't into boys. " said Derek.
"That's ridiculous. Anyone with a better suggestion?" Tom said
"I think she just feels confused. Like Simon said it happened really fast. Maybe she doesn't know how she feels about you Simon. " Sue said.
"Maybe but I need to talk to her. "
"Yes she has some explaining to do. " Tom said.
"You know what I'm thinking Simon. You should ask her out. I mean not a date but just 2 "friends" drinking something and talking. "
"Maybe you're right Derek. At least you said something normal. "
"Hey I don't always act like a kid. "
"No Derek you actually are a kid. " Georgia said.

After the coffee with his friends Simon had practice with Daphne. It looked weird to go to practice again with her. She told him to forget about what happened but how could he forget that.

"Hey Daphne. "
"Hi Simon. Ready for today? "
"Yes"
Then an awkward silence.
"Daphne? "
"Yes?"
"I want to ask something. "
"Listen if it is about yesterday..."
"No no I just thought if you know,after practice can we just...grab a coffee. You know like friends. "
"Simon I'm sorry but I can't. I actually want something to say too. "
"Well we won't train together. "
"What????"
"No don't worry. I guess I chosed the wrong words. What I was actually going to say is that..
"That you will have a professional trainer now. "
In that moment a man around the 30s approached them. He was tall,had a dark skin color,dark hair and eyes.
"Hello Simon. My name is Victor Green. I'm will be your trainer during these months. Miss Brawn has talked a lot about you. "
"I don't know what to say. "
"Well Simon Mr Green is a swimming trainer and he works with disabled people  and teaches them to swim. "
"That's right. I usually work with children but I have also worked with teens. "
"Thanks Daphne but I don't think it would be necessary. Really thank you Mr Green but I'm fine. "
"No Simon,you need this. He is a pro. He can teach you better."
"That's right kid. With my training you are going to win that competition for sure. "

It was really nice of Daphne to do this to Simon but he couldn't stop thinking that Daphne didn't do this only to help him. She was trying to avoid him. But why was she doing this? Why did she turn into this person after the kiss? Simon had had enough of this. He needed answers and soon.

What do you think about the story so far?
