I run in front of Scarlet, I feel so free as I run.

I feel like there's always a barrier in front of me and I don't know how to get past it.

Like I'm trapped, stuck, there's this emotion buliding up in me frustion, anger I don't know.

But when I run I feel free it helps to unleash the emotion within me.

I start to speed but Scarlet says "I can't run anymore Cade."

I turn around and run back to her.

Scarlet

Cade turns around and runs back to me and as his eyes focus on me I feel a flare of sparks where his eyes land.

His blue, green eyes look deeper they look so deep it almost looks like the color of his eyes changed.

My breath catches in my throat but he clears his throat, breaking the spell over me. 

Trying to get rid of the emotions within me I ask "can we stop running."

He frowns and says "why"

I reply "Because I suck at running."

He blurts out "I can coach you."

I freeze, I can't spend anymore time with him I already have to spend a bunch of time with him.

 I need to get over him he has a damn girlfriend. 

So I reply "uh I don't know." because I just can't reject those eyes.

He shakes his head and says his greenish eyes sparkling "I am  coaching you this is a great idea."

"I-" He presses his finger against my lips I freeze as about a billion sparks ignite in my body. 

He quickly pulls his fingers and mutter "so-sorry it's just you can't argue against this it's a great idea."

I laugh trying to ignore the fading sparks, I say "I guess I say yes."

He smirks at me saying "Like you had a choice."

I punch his shoulder and laugh again. 

I look up we arrived at school suddenly a thought occurs to me I turn to look at Cade and softly say "Can I see your grades."

His eyebrows shoot up and his cheeks turn pink he's actually blushing.

God he must have bad grades I'm going to help him raise those grades. 

He stops grabbing his computer he presses some keys and hand it over to me saying "Here."

I look at the screen and my jaw drops almost hitting the ground. I look at him and say "what the actual fuck, your grades are perfect there all A+ that's a 100% how the hell is that even possible."

His cheeks turn red and he says "uh I tried hard."

I shake my head and say "and here I thought I could help you raise your grade how the hell did you mange to do this while skipping." 

His eyes look at me for I feel like I'm taking a test.

He finally breaks eye contact and look at the ground running a hand through his hair he says "It's just from what I know about my father he was a hard worker he had perfect grades and even though he is dead I just wanted to make him proud so I studied and maybe pulled a few strings so I got perfect grades."

My eyes go wide and I have no clue what to say finally I stammer out "oh."

He smiles and says "oh's right."

I take a deep breath and say "we should go in." pointing to the school.

"Yeah." he says following me in.

We are walking when I see Jaxon please don't see me I pray. But of course he sees me "Scarlet, Scarlet."

I turn around as he comes running over to us.
