Chapter twenty two - Slushy Stain

Astrid's P.O.V
Will is in shock. He's staring at me in awe for spilling my whole life out.
"I didn't know..." He says totally speechless
"It's not your problem, I just need your help to.. get Jake!" I say as Jake comes into view by the bleachers.
Will and I put a smirk on our faces, but I can see in Will's eyes that he is still surprised.
"Let's get him!" He replied and I jump on his back and he dashes towards the bleachers and I start laughing.
Jake is leaning against the bleachers with earbuds in, and on his phone.
Will runs right next to Jake and he finally notices.
"Hey Jake" Will smirks.
"Will" he grits
"Hi" I join in the awkward staring into each others souls.
"Hey Astrid" Jake says not losing his glare. Will gently puts me down not taking his eyes off of Jake.
"Guys.." I whine "can we do something interesting. This isn't fun" I pout and fall in between them and that catches their attention and both of they're eyes Avert to me and lose the 'I'm gonna kill you' glare and they're eyes turn soft at the sight of me.
I'm so amazing. I set my slushy beside me purposefully banging it on the crusty snow.
"Why do you have a slushy in the middle of winter?"
Will pulls me up and I clutch my slushy.
"I heard about your prank war, and I'm the best at pranks!" I give a toothy grin to the boys. " oh, and so that I can do this" I shrug and splash the slushy on jake.
"What the Hell?!" He screams, his soft eyes from me turns into a playful glare. He's shrugging as much slushy off of his jacket as he can, but ends up with a dark blue stain. Oh this is gonna get good. I climb onto the ice cold metal bleachers.
"My favourite colour" Will says and smirks" I think your whole coat would look good in that colour" he splashes his slushy on Jake.
"Oh it's on!" Jake screams and grabs a chunk of snow with his bare hands and chucks it at Wills face, exploding all over his eyes. Jake picks up another chunk.
"I can't see!" Will says rubbing his eyes. Jake sneaks up behind Will and shoves it down his shirt.
"Shit!" Will screams in horror as I burst into laughter.
"I thought we were a team.." will grins. Then Jake goes up to Will and whispers something. My smirk is wiped away as they give me a terrifying look, like they're gonna kill me. They both crouch and gather some snow. I instantly jump off the bleachers as they stand up. I run over to the other bleachers and go behind them trying to hide. I haven't run in a long time. I'm breathless and I'm trying to catch my breath and I look back to find the silly-grin boys. I gather myself up, grabbing my slushy cup and dash towards the street. Going through the gap in the fence, I swing around a lamp post and over to the sidewalk.
"It's not safe to run in the streets!" Will screams from behind me and I look back and he has fear in his eyes.
"Ugh fine... just let me get back into the school field. Without snow"
"Fine, wait is this a game now?"
"Yes and I'm on T"
"Fine" Jake groans and lets me pass through the gap in the fence.
"Ill count to ten to give you a head start"
"Okay.." I say and prepare myself for a run around the school yard. I eye where I'm going. Past the track and over to the other side where a soccer net is, but I doubt I will get that far, also because of the snow.
"Ready?"
"Yup"
"Go! 1..." Jake says and his voice comes distant as I dash towards the soccer nets. I only reach the track before I hear Jake and Will letting out a battle cry behind me.
"Hahahahihihihohoho!" Is all I hear while I try to focus on running, but then it goes silent. All I hear is my footsteps. They just tricked me. I decide to block out the world and continue running. I hum 'Release from Imagine Dragons' as I run. Suddenly, I feel hands snake around my waist.
"Gotcha!!" Jake's voice booms in my ear. He pulls me over his shoulder. I look around for Will and, can't find him.
"Where's Will?"
"Oh, uh, he left. He wanted to catch the late bus"
"Oh" is all I say. Maybe I'm disappointed. I don't know. He's just a friend.. nothing else.
"I'm still not forgiving you for the stain" he chuckles
"Go ahead.. put snow in my shirt" I say loosening my muscles like a rag doll.
"I want something better then that" he smiles and puts me on my feet facing him. He still has his hands around my waist, but this time it doesn't feel like the first time I met him, i like him. I think.
"What is that?" I whisper
"I know it might seem very early and if you don't want to then, I get it it. But, what I want is... to be.. more then.. uh.."
"Friends?" I whisper completing his sentence.
"Yeah" he whispers back, and doesn't bow his head like I thought he would, but just stares into my eyes.
"Your nothing like any other girl I've dated before. Your different. We can be something different. Some people meant to be. We are something different" he says still looking into my eyes.
Then it triggers me. I've heard that before. From Aiden. From Lyle. From Lorence. They all said that. Aiden said "Your nothing like anyone I dated"
Lyle said" Your different. We can be perfect"
Lorence said" we are something different"
I trusted them, I kissed them, I loved them, and they just used me. For popularity. For love. To break my heart. That is why I need to be careful about who I date.
I bow my head.
"I'll think about it" I whisper and tear his arms off my body, and run across the field and into the parking lot, luckily to find the late bus still there. I quickly climb on and sit in the front. No one sits here except loners. I'm a loner, my feelings have been played with and I won't let that happen again.
