Secret

Chapter 8

Tuesday
I was feeling a lot better today. School was going by so slowly. English seemed to tick by at a snails pace. We were reading To Kill A Mocking Bird. Surprisingly the book was really interesting, but I couldn't focus. My mind kept wandering to Coach Bobby. I keep replaying in my mind the steamy moment we had in his office. That type of stuff only happened in the movies right! And it doesn't happen to me. Not plain Megan!!!
Finally it was time to go and Susie was trying to get my attention, Oops I must have been day dreaming.
"Wow Megan it must have been good!"
"What, what are you talking about? " I stutter. I panic, she must have heard something, someone saw something!
"Nothing happened!" I shout
"What, I was talking about your day dream girl! " She laughs " took me forever to get your attention. What did you think I was talking about?"
I laugh nervously " Nothing, my bad" I say gathering my books and standing up. " Let's go we gonna be late if we don't hurry."
We rush to next period.
Finally it's time to go to gym. The minute I walk into the gym I look for him. Susie is rambling on about her weekend plans. I'm trying so hard to look like I'm paying attention but really I'm only capturing small tidbits here and there. Oh my gosh, there he is.
Coach Bobby walks into the gym and begins gathering the class together.
"Alright class, quiet down! Today we are going to play baseball. I need to get through most of these sports because tryout are coming up in a few weeks. Raise your hand if you are trying out for a sport."
A little more then half the class raises there hands. Every time I look at Coach and he looks at me I can't help blushing. My whole body warms thinking about his lips on mine. I guess I will try to avoid looking directly at him for the rest of class. Maybe that will help. He splits us up into teams. Susie and I were on different teams. My team was first at bat. We were doing pretty well too. We had one home run and the bases were loaded. We had one out and I was up next. I walk up and position the bat on my shoulder. Billy, the guy at the pitchers mound throws and it almost hits me. I jump back and almost fall. Billy is really good and his throws are really fast, I'm surprised we have so many people on bases. "Ball one and Billy watch it with that ball! Coach yells.
I take a deep breath and walk back up. I get in my ready stance and before I know it the ball is being hurled towards me and hits me dead in the side. "ouch" I cry and fall to the ground. I grab my side and sit up just as everyone is running over to me. Coach makes it to me first and kneels down " Are you alright, do you need to go to the nurse?"
"Umm, I don't think so." I say as I lift up my shirt a little and notice there is a lump forming on my side.
"I'm so sorry Megan, I didn't mean to!" Billy shouts.
"It's ok Billy, I'll be alright."
"No it's not alright. I told you to be careful! Go and do some laps!" Coach yells.
"But Coach, I ..." Billy starts to explain.
"No buts, laps now, and don't stop till I tell you!" Coach interupts.
"Susie go with Megan to the nurse and put some ice on her side."
Susie and I walk to the nurse office, well I limped a little. My side was beginning to hurt more.
"Wow, Coach was mad at Billy huh? It didn't look like he did it on purpose geez! Your alright though, right?"
"Yea, but maybe it just shocked him that it hit me, I'm sure he doesn't want anyone to get hurt on his watch. Don't teachers get in trouble for that."
"Maybe, I don't know."
When we get to the nurses office she takes a look at my side and then hands me a ice pack and sends me back to gym. By the time we get back, class is almost over so Coach tells us just to head on to lunch. On my way out he pats me on the shoulder and winks at me. I look around to see if any one saw, no one saw, I was relieved. Especially didn't want Susie to see, then I'd have to answer a million questions!

Last period was almost over when I was called to the principals office. Oh no, what now. When I got there Coach Bobby was waiting outside the office for me.
"Hey Megan, I just wanted to make sure you were ok."
"Oh, so the principal doesn't need to see me?
"No, are you alright?"
"Yea, it just hurts a little bit."
"Come with me, I want to make sure it's alright."
I follow him to his office and he shuts the door. He sits down and motions for me to come closer. I do and he lifts my shirt slightly and rubs his hand down my side ever so lightly. It feels so good that I lean into his hand. He bends down and kisses my side. Plants small kisses all around my sore area. A moan escapes my mouth and I blush when I realize what I just did. He looks up and smiles at my response. He pulls me to face him and kisses me deeply and so passionately. It makes me feel drunk with want. I have never felt this way before.
The last bell sounds! It startles me and I jerk away from him. He smiles, clears his throat and walks to sit behind his desk.
"Hey Megan, what would you say if I suggest we skip practice today and go somewhere else?"
"Um, ok but where?"
"Leave that to me. Meet me at the trail like always ok. Take all your stuff, I'll drop you off home afterward."
"Ok"
