The Shy Girl's Bad Boy (Interracial) ✅

Ch. 49 Flexin'

Gymnastics 

don't ask. this is fiction so.... .3.

Diane's pov

"If I break my spine, you're payin' for it" I climb up the short ladder. 

"You sure this is safe?"I ask aloud "Its just the weird looking sideways ladder" Chance says back (yall its the monkey bars, least that's what I call them).

"Uhhhh....." I look down at the pool of black foam blocks below me. I haven't been on this since the play ground. I used to go to the park and do flips and tricks on the jungle gym, but it stopped ever since my parents died.
That's what basically triggered my fear of heights, my depression and my anxiety. "Are you scared?" "What? No! I just haven't  been on these in a while!" I proceed to reach out for the first bar as my feet left the bar I was standing on.

The problem was, my fingers slipped and didn't grab the bar, making me literally plop into the pool. I quickly hopped out, seeing Chance's cheeks a bit red, his hand covering his laugh. "What a Sag I am" I roll my eyes, "Are you okay?" he helps me up, "Of course! I'm just gonna try again..." I made my way up to the bars again, and grab the first bar with my hand the the other. My feet left the bar I was standing on again, just don't look down.
I was hanging there, I slowly moved my hand to the next bar and then the next and then the next. Just....one...more! I reached for the last one, but my arms started to tire out.  Then I slipped and fell. At the last one. "You was so close." "That was  awesome!" I get out, laughing, I took my phone out, feeling it vibrate.

Where the magic happens

Undercooked_Brownie : d where are you? we're all waiting on you at the mall

"Ughhhh, Chance, thanks for inviting me by the way. I forgot I had to run some errands before" I grab for my ponytail. "Nice seeing you" he waves.

I was wearing a tee under my favorite hoodie and my leggings, I took my hair down, brushing it with my fingers as I entered the mall. "Sorry I was late I was doing something, the time flew by me" I laugh, out of breath. "Where's the bunny at?" I look around catching my breath, Louis and Dom's faces, the sneaky smirks on their faces their eyes somewhat on me but a different direction as well. 

I noticed Mel was looking up then somewhere else. I look behind me and was swooped up, "WHAT THE FISH TRAVIS!?" I yell laughing, "What's the magic word?" "Put me down or I'll kick you in the-" 

"Okay pequena, you don't have to be so harsh" he puts me down. "If it wasn't for us in this mall I would've head-butted you" "I would love that" "Ugh, just never mind!!- What are we doing here?" I fix my hair.
"Nothing much." we all start walking to a table and we all sat down. Travis was right beside me, I could feel the sleeve of his cinnamon-smelling hoodie sleeve brush against my Walmart-lookin'(hey!) sorry I won't say it! 

(ya'll i think i somewhat made travis a cinnamon roll, that's why he literally smell like CINNAMON HAHAHAHAHA- *gets mouth stuffed with a roll*)

Either way you could definitely tell who was wearing Walmart and Louis Vuitton. Mel was sitting across Travis, Dom across from me, and Louis stole a chair from an empty table and sat at the end. "So is Val at another meeting or something?" I ask Travis. "Yep" 

"She's so busy. I kinda miss her" I sigh.

Travis' leg bumped my leg, I bumped him back. Mel was quiet the whole time. What is up with this girl? I look over at Mel, on her phone, I had enough, that's it, "Melanie." "What?" she looks at me, " 'What'? You've been grumpy these past few days, what's wrong?" I ask, raising an eyebrow. "Nothing." 

"You sure didn't say that at gym the other day, I don't think I have changed at all" I let it out, laid back in my chair, twirling my hair around my finger as the tension built, the guys were watching, deciding to stay out of it. Mel put her phone up, and looked at me, "You have"
"How?" I look at my arms and hair, hearing a small, hard to pick up laugh from Louis. "Diane quit acting like a (boing)" 

"OH MY GOSH! GEE THANKS! AM I DOING A GOOD JOB OF IT?!" I raise my voice, "Mel, don't say another word, you wanna know how I think of you? The real "one" over here is you. Is it the fact, you're not popular anymore? I still hear people talking about you, so I don't see why you're jealous of that. Maybe because I talk more? You want me to be the quiet and shy girl you met in 9th grade? Too bad. That's called life. If you think I'm not Diane Moore anymore, then go somewhere else and find her! I'm finally happy for once, and you want to take that away as well!" 

"Oooh-Ow!" I hear Louis, hearing Dom's foot stomp. "What are you talking about!?" Mel shot up from her seat, I immediately shot up from mine, making my chair fall back, my standing height is about Travis' sitting height. Why do I keep thinking about Travis' height?!

"Ya got cotton in your ears? You heard me! You're just here to be spotted with Travis isn't it? I saw how you shot looks at me. I don't know why you're acting like this, but it needs to stop!" I say. 

"You're pathetic again, and this just shows how worthless you are anyway Diane. It doesn't matter anymore, I have other friends to rely on" she smarts off, pushing her chair in. Before more words spat from my mouth, Travis speaks up,

"Mel, if you don't like Diane, then leave. You were always jealous of her anyway"
"Anyone who messes with our short gal here, messes with us." Louis chimes in. "I don't need you anyway!!" she storms off. I look at her storming off, then look around seeing some people glancing at us.

"Uhhhhh....."  Louis picked up my chair for me, but I didn't really notice. It felt like everything was swirling around me "Um..." I could feel the storm clouds begin to shadow over me already.
"Hey" Travis' hands grabs my shoulders, clearing the storm. I looked at him, with the given slight shake of comfort,  "....I'm fine, I think-No I'm fine! Really!" I laugh a little, giving Louis a high five and Dom a fist bump. 

"You sure?" the sight of the mall and the feeling of cold air rushed in. "I'm okay......Don't tell me I just said all of that to her- I don't know what came over me, I was gonna reach over the table if it wasn't for you breaking in Travis. I just feel bad that she feels that way towards me....." I looked at him, but didn't expect a rush of mixed feelings, or a sudden jump of my heart, with what just happened, I think my heart made the world record on long jump.

 I'm trying my best to keep my anxiety on the down low, maybe just distract myself! 

"....That reminds me I almost forgot to look at something while I'm here" a reminder of an object came to my mind suddenly.

Fun Fact: Originally Louis and Melanie were supposed to be a couple, but that idea didn't make it to the final cut.
