Red Sparks

Chapter 28: Gym

Taegan’s POV

I doodled in my notebook as Mr. Parkin babbled on about how a bill becomes a law. I yawned. I couldn’t wait for lunch. I was eager to know how her date went with Harry. (How would a celebrity treat a non-celebrity on a date?). That could be a good topic to cover for the school magazine! I jotted it down in my notebook.

*bell rings*

Yes! Lunch time! I shoved my notebook into my backpack and headed out the doors. As I made my way to the cafeteria, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Mr. Duke.

(Uh-oh).

Mr. Duke: ‘Mr. Anderson, just the person I was looking for,’ he said.

Me: ‘Er.. You’ve found me?’, I replied lamely.

Mr. Duke: ‘Have you got your progress report on you right now? Any updates? How about the photographs?’ he asked.

Me: ‘Oh, well..- (I began).

Mr. Duke: ‘Why don’t we continue this in the library?’

Me: ‘Well, actually..’, I stammered.

Mr. Duke: *arms crossed* ‘Mr. Anderson, you do realize I require an update? And the deadline for the magazine is soon?’

Me: *sigh* ‘Yes sir’

Mr. Duke: ‘Good. Come along now’, he said heading towards the library.

I scowled at his back as I followed him towards the library.

(There goes my lunch).

Lynndra’s POV

As me and Jane went into the gym, I felt butterflies in my stomach. ‘I can’t wait to meet them!’, I said as I hugged Jane tightly

*******************************************

Jane’s POV

We had just entered the gym and sat on the bleachers when Lynndra hugged me tightly.

Lynndra: ‘I can’t wait to meet them!’

I smiled. ‘Me too!’, I said excitedly.

(I didn’t expect to be already missing Harry; after all we weren’t even a couple. I had just gone on one date only with him after all. But he did mention of future dates, I thought excitedly).

I wonder what’s taking them so long?

*********************************************

Harry’s POV

‘Come on guys!’, I said as we left the cafeteria. Niall was juggling a bag of cookies, nachos and some sodas as he and the others came out of the cafeteria.

Zayn: ‘Someone’s excited’, he teased.

I blushed. ‘Get a move on!’, I said as I hurried towards the gym.

***********************************************

Jane’s POV

I walked around the gym with Lynndra as we waited for them to show up. I saw the gym rope and an idea came to mind. ‘Hey Lynndra,’, I called out.

Lynndra: ‘Yeah?’

Me: ‘I think I’ll try climbing this rope, you know while we wait for them to arrive’ ‘It’s random, I know’
