Hi everyone! Today I am writing a request for Elspath ! Thank you so much for requesting!

I hope you really like it!

I am still working on the ideas from the comments on the "Help pls" chapter, so those will be coming shortly!

School update for anyone interested in reading!

I had my first class recently and all my classes are starting to show their true colors so it is actually shaping up to be a hard year. But I am determined to power through, so if wattpad updates are more sparse I am so sorry! But I WILL NOT LET WATTPAD UPDATES DISAPPEAR LIKE LAST YEAR!

Alright, let's get into the story!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maggie's POV! (Btw I love your name! It's so cute!)

I grabbed my flag and walked over to my team.

I am on the flag team so we have practice today, the games are coming up!

"Hey Gina! How have you been today?" I asked, a lot of my friends are on the flag team with me.

"Hey Maggie! Guess who's sharing the field with us today?"

I shrugged, "Who?" My other friend Heidi said, "Your boyfriend!"

I blushed, "He's not my boyfriend! I just have a crush on him, that's it."

My friends rolled their eyes and we began practice. 

Everything was going well and then the band leader came over to our coach. 

They whispered between each other and then our coach turned to us, "Alright, we're going to do a little showing! First the band is going to use the whole field and we're going to watch. Then we're going to do our routine, and they will watch. Ok, let's all go sit down on the bleachers!"

We all walked over bleachers and sat down. The band started their routine and it was pretty good!

Of course I looked for Clayton! (He's my crush btw).

As soon as I found him I instantly smiled. He is just adorable!!

His brown hair clung to his forehead with sweat, it is pretty hot out so it is understandable.

He played the trombone very well, he even got a little solo!

While he was playing we made eye contact. I instantly blushed and looked away.

My friend Gina noticed, "Awe look at the two love birds flirting!"

I rolled my eyes, "Stop, no we weren't. I doubt he would like me!"

She scoffed, "Shut up! You are amazing!"

I smiled and looked for Clayton again. I saw him and started watching him again. He is amazing, like how can a human being be that wonderful???

He got a little break from playing and was doing a formation change. He looked me in the eye and WINKED.

I REPEAT. HE WINKED AT ME!

I smiled and he smiled back. What is even happening right now?

After they finished we clapped and got ready for our routine. 

Clayton sat in the front and smiled at me. 

This is all becoming too real? I wonder if one of my "friends" told him I liked him?!

Nah, they wouldn't do that....or would they??

Our music started and we started twirling our flags. Our routine was going really well!

All the corrections we were given were being made and it was all going really smoothly.

I did a flag toss and was about to catch it...But then Clayton leaned over and whispered something to his friend and was staring at me.

I got completely distracted and I looked up too late...

The pain was bad! My eye hurt so bad. See this is what happens when you get distracted when throwing a flag!

Luckily the routine was almost over so I didn't miss much.

I was covering my eye with my hands and the coach came over to me, "Here,  let me see your eye."

I cringed as I removed my hands as the sun was burning my eye.

"Awe, it's starting to bruise. Why don't you make your way to the office and see what they can do for you?"

I nodded and she asked, "Can you make it there by yourself?" I shrugged, "I thin-"

I was interrupted, "I can take her." I recognized that voice. I should pick that voice out of a lineup. 

Clayton.

"Awe, thank you! Now run along, I don't want that eye to get any worse!"

I nodded and we began walking.

"Thanks for walking me, you didn't have to do that." I smiled, but really....He needed to do that.

"Ah, no problem. Couldn't let a pretty girl like you walk alone with a bad eye."

"Well, I could've- wait what?" He looked at me confused, "What's wrong?"

I said, "You just called me pretty! Why?!" He laughed, "Uh, I can't not let a pretty girl know she's pretty!"

I gasped and we both started laughing, "Well you're pretty too!"

He laughed, "Thanks, such a confidence boost!"

The rest of the way was silent, but a comfortable silence.

We walked into the office and Clayton said, "Hi, miss Maggie here got poked in the eye with a flag! Can you help us?"

The lady gasped and took me back to the medical room right away. The iced my eye and helped the swelling.

The medic said I would be fine, as long as I continued to ice it and followed her directions I would be ok. 

I walked back out to see Clayton waiting for me.

I smiled and walked over, "Hey, I'm all better now!"

He smiled and we started to walk back, "What did they say?"

"They said to ice it and she gave me some directions to help it heal. But I can't practice the rest of the day."

"Awe, that sucks."

I nodded.

"So, you know, I volunteered for a reason."

I looked at him confused but also very nervously. "Why?"

"I really like you, like a lot. Like more than a friend. You're just so amazing and so pretty. I just can't help but like you. So would you like to go out with me sometime?"

I smiled, "Of course! I've liked you for a while, just wasn't sure if you felt the same."

I'm so glad I got poked in the eye today....

I hope you enjoyed! I had fun writing it!!
