Oh God.


Now Hayes is gonna get all mushy.






- Earlier -

Then I hear someone climbing up the ladder to the top bunk.

- /end of flashback/ -

"Hayes Dont." I say, covering my face with blankets.

He lays on top of me.

"Is this good enough?" he says, laughing.

"No, this hurts!" I whine

Then he takes the covers off my face and looks me in the eyes

My eyes well up with tears

Then it happens.

-

5 months earlier


The bell rings.

"See you later" I shout to Alice.

"Bye"

Finally. The weekend!

I'm going to my gymnastics practice now

-

I walk down the hall to the bathroom and change into my leopard leotard with pink shorts

I put my ankle brace on and put my hair into a messy bun.

A piece of my blonde hair falls in my face.

I see Hayes and his gang walking to football practice.

Ugh, Hayes.

We've been "besties" since kindergarten, and we're in 8th grade.


"Knock someone out" I shout to Hayes

"Kick someone on the beam" he shouts back

Then I walk to my gym

I have States in a month, so I'm just perfecting my beam routine today.
