it's too early
...

currently it's and we're all sitting together. kay and i are talking about her classes, while the others are talking about their games coming up.

"you excited for practice"

"yeah a little nervous though"

"you'll be good, i told to the coach already and she's excited to meet you"

"really" kay questioned.

"yeah they need someone good"

"yeah cause jennie sucks" jack says making us laugh except jonah.

"i'll be right back"

"hey j, you ok" i asked him once i got to him.

"i'm fine"

"jonah, i'm not convinced"

"fine you don't have to be convinced, i'm fucking fine alright" he raised his voice at me.

"alright whatever, i'm just trying to help"

i walked out of the lunch room and went out to my safe place, the field hockey field.

...

"jonah, what the hell was that about" franny asked.

"nothing, it's not important"

"clearly it is, she's just trying to help"

"boys figure out what his problem is, we're gonna go check on her"

once they left, jonah immediately got attacked with questions.

"guys can we just get over this and talk about something else"

"no because clearly something is wrong and your being rude so you don't have to talk about it"

"dude your not the type to push people away so what's up"

"fine jesus, i'm starting to catch feelings for her but it's too early because jennie and i just ended things three days ago"

"so your trying to push her away instead"

"yeah" he admitted.

"bro what the hell, you can't do that"

"i know daniel but i can't admit my feelings either"

"yes you can or at least start hanging out with her more because then you'll both gain feelings"

"i did that with christina and we've been together for almost 2 years" corbyn told us.

"you gotta show her that you care"

"ok after practice i'll apologize and try to be better"

...

while the boys were lecturing jonah, the girls found tate and tried to cheer her up.

"why do i care so much, he's just a friend... i think. ugh what if i like him, it's too early" she ranted.

"tate, it's ok to like him but you gotta talk to him"

"i know but i don't wanna be yelled at again"

"you won't, he realized he messed up and he already told us he won't do it again" we continued to hug her but christina secretly was texting corbyn about what was happening.

it was now the end of the day, kay and tate were at cheer practice. i could tell she was nervous but i kept telling her that she was gonna do great. she started her tryout while i talk to coach smith.

"wow she's really good"

"i told you"

"you were right, she's amazing"

"so what does that mean"

"she's on varsity" i immediately silently cheered making her laugh.

"you can tell, just record her reaction for me"

after practice was done for kay, we walked out to our cars to meet up with everyone else. once we got there everyone was waiting for us.

"how'd it go kay" zach asked.

"really good but i don't know if i made the team yet"

"that's ok, you definitely did"

"tatum, can we please talk"

"uh sure" we walked away from our friends.

"i'm so sorry tatum, you didn't deserve to get attitude from me and i'm really sorry"

"yeah i guess"

"tatum, i know your mad at me and i'm so sorry"

"why do you call me by my full name" i asked changing the topic.

"because no one else calls you it and i love your name"

"ok your forgiven"

"thank god, i miss you"

"damn already" he laughed at me.
