He Fell For The Nerd

Chapter 8

"If there was never a night or day and memories could fade away, then there'd be nothing left but the dreams we made take a leap of faith and hope you fly, feel what its like to be alive, give it all what we've got and lay it on the line."
- Selena Gomez

After the class I didn't get to talk to Adrian about the lessons I would be giving him as he was out of the class before I could pack my bag. Well, it was basically my fault as I pack my bag way too slowly as Amelia has often remarked.

So here I am, sitting on the bleachers and watching the soccer tryouts. They are always held on the first day of school.

I am here waiting for Adrian as he is trying out for forward, I think? From what I can make out.. I had always had an interest in soccer, though I can't play it well I like watching it and I can proudly say that I know all the rules of the game, thanks to my dear brother. Who is the captain of his school soccer team.

Adrian is pretty good at what he's doing actually I can see some boys watch him in envy and some in admiration as he runs with impressive control on the ball like the ball was glued to his feet and dribbled past all the defenders and lastly he shoots the ball into the goal post.

He can compete with Lee.

Today only the soccer players, Coach Barry and the people trying out for various positions are here. The cheerleaders are absent which is a relief, I heard in the hallways that they are going to Bethany's house to discuss what new formations they can come up with this year.

I have been here since the past hour, reading Let It Snow but watching the boys more often.

Hey! You can't blame me when they are running around shirtless passing the ball to their teammates, doing bicycles and all those tricks. Plus I too am a girl. I can't resist when hotness is just being rubbed in my face.

When Mark had seen as I had sat on the bleachers he waved while smiling at me and I almost melted but I had managed a wave back with a grin on my face.

Thirty more minutes passed and I could see that they have selected all the members for the team today itself. The tryouts ended and all the boys gave each other handshakes and bro hugs.

I walk down to the field, feeling nervous as all the eyes had snapped to me. I try not to look at them and head over straight to Adrian who was still talking to the coach with Mark beside him. I stop a few feet away from them not wanting to interrupt their professional talk.

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Will smiling at me.

"Hey, what are you doing here? I also saw you sitting on the bleachers alone," he asked raising an eyebrow.

"I came here to talk to Adrian about a project," I replied vaguely. I didn't feel like telling him about the chemistry lessons.

"Oh,"he replied, he opened his mouth to say something else, but as I turned my face towards the the direction of the three people talking, I saw that the coach had left leaving only Mark and Adrian.

I decided to quickly go and get it over with before he could go any where else.

"Hey Will, I'll talk to you later?" I said gesturing towards Adrian's direction. He got it and nodded his head, "Sure," he said and turned to talk to some other friend of his.

I walked to the two,"Hi Mark," I smiled warmly at him which he returned, " Do you mind if I talk to Adrian for a bit?" he nodded but had a curious look in his eyes, I didn't want him to think anything so I added, "I want to talk to him about a project,"
