you must be tired. because you've been running through my mind all day

Ellie packed up her bag and slung it over her shoulder, quickly going for her PE lesson that she dreaded. She had Johan who was a guy and with his girlfriend, so she'll most likely be a third wheeler.

She opened her gym locker in the girls changing room and hung her bag in the hook of the locker and took off her yellow sweater.

She then slipped on her PE shirt which was a simple white colour with the school's logo at the left side of the shirt. She slipped off her jeans and wore her basketball shorts which she borrowed from her dad which she cut short due to her stature.

Ellie grabbed her plastic waterbottle and tied up her wavy blonde hair into a high ponytail. She closed her locker went out of the changing room, taking a big gulp of water and let it rest in her mouth.

Ellie went to the field and walked to Johan and his girlfriend, Madison, who was apart of the school's student council.

"Hey, Ally!" Madison called out, jumping up and down. Johan looked at her with kind eyes and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"It's, Ellie, Madi." Johan corrected her gently.

"Oh.." Madison trailed off, biting her fingernail.

Ellie bobbed her head as a greeting as she still had water in her mouth and refused to drink it, a little habit of hers she developed.

"I think Ms. Adelaide isn't going to come today." Madison said. Ms. Adelaide was their PE teacher and was the one that forced every student to be whipped into shape.

Ellie gulped the water in her mouth.

Ms. Adelaide was the reason Ellie disliked going for sports day and PE because Ms. Adelaide knew she was a good runner, so she'll fill up most of the empty spots with Ellie's name.

She definitely didn't like that.

"Yes." Ellie and Johan high fives.

Madison rolled her eyes at her boyfriend and her boyfriend's friend reaction. "So," Madison added on, making Ellie and Johan look at her confused.

"My father will be relieving the class." Madison finished.

Johan widened his eyes and sweated profusely. "No, no, no, no. You know that your dad doesn't like me with you."

Ellie nodded her head. "Your dad is that kind of dad that doesn't want their daughter to be hanging out with people who looks like this." She said as she gestures to Johan.

Johan nodded his head furiously. "Yeah!"

Madison crossed her arms and pocked Johan's nose playfully. "Then, I'll make sure that he satisfies his 'beloved daughter' with people who looks like this."

Johan gripped his green hair and shook his head. "Please don't."

"This is what you get if you date me, Johan Pierce." Madison finished, walking over to her father who already appeared by the field greeting his daughter with a smile.

Not before glaring at Johan who was folding down his rolled up sleeves under the intense stare of his girlfriend's father.

Ellie giggled and pushed a strand of hair behind her ears and stared at the direction of Madison and her father.

What she didn't know that Julio was walking with his friends to the field.

Ellie felt a pang in her chest and quickly hid behind the taller male, Johan, who was considered an average height for a male but tall to Ellie who was slightly shorter than average.

"What?" Johan asked her.

"Look over there."

"Where?"
