Suffocation

The encounter

MADISONS POV:
*BEEP BEEP BEEP* "God dAMN IT" Its only Saturday morning, and of course, I have 7am practice. Well technically, 7:45, but I always go in early for extra hitting. I dragged myself out of bed and tripped over my backpack, which was spilled all over the floor in a sea of papers. I was trying to study for finals, but of course I got distracted, as always. I swear, it's my phone's fault if I fail my final. I walked in the bathroom and brushed my teeth and hair. I put on some running shorts and threw some sweat pants over them, and my travel team's softball shirt. I pulled on my Nike elite socks and put on my gym shoes, then put my hair up into a high pony tail. My teammates always make fun of how high my pony tail is but whatever. I looked in the mirror and cringed at how looked. I have pale skin but not transparent, and I have golden blonde hair. My eyes are a blue sea color. I have a pretty slim muscular figure, but only because I have softball and we're always working out. I don't know how I'm not obese because I eat like 10 pounds of food a day. I look at myself in the mirror and I look like a wreck. I stayed up all night trying to study, and I look like I haven't slept for days. I still have makeup on from yesterday but it didn't smear. I look at the clock "Fuuuuck" it was 6:25. I live a half hour away from where I practice so I spring down the stairs, almost flying to my death because I skipped a step, and ran out the door. If I haven't mentioned, Im really clumsy. I turned 16 last month so I can drive myself to practice now instead of having to listen to my mom always complain that she has to drive me everywhere. I put my car in reverse and back out of my drive way. I took the highway and got to practice a lot earlier than I thought. I had 15 minutes! Well, I guess I could go grab breakfast really fast, or coffee at the Dunkin donuts across the street. I park my car, mastering parallel parking, and jog over to dunkin donuts. I make my way inside and the line isn't that long. There was an old couple at the front, a boy, and there were a couple people sitting at the table having mindless conversations about what they were going to do for Christmas, but weren't really listening to each other, just talking at each other. I step into line and decided on getting a chocolate long John and a small frozen caramel coffee. I was waiting in line waiting for the boy in front of me to order, and he was taking forever. I looked at my watch and saw I had 7 minutes. The boy finally made up his damn mind on a bagel and turned around and ran right into me.
"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean-" the boy said.
He was taller than me, about 5 inches but the first thing I noticed was his jawline. What the fuck how can anyone have that defined of a jaw. His skin was a nice olive color and his eyes were a pool of melted chocolate. His lips fell agape, and had a nice pink tint to them that had really good contrast to his skin. I realized we have been starring at each other when the corner of his mouth pulled up into a smirk slightly. He was beautiful.
"I'm so sorry I didn't realize I was standing so close to you" I said still breathless. He chuckled a little bit and smiled at me.
"No it's okay, I didn't mean to ram into you."
"Ahem"
We both turned around and saw some old lady behind me and realized we were holding up the line. On instinct, I moved out of line and let the lady order and silently cursed at myself remembering I was suppose to order. I look back up at the boy and he was starring at me. He looked like he had to be like 18.
"Grayson?" The coffee person called and the boy snapped out of his trance and walked over to grab his bagel.
"So your name is grayson?" I said smiling.
"Oh How'd you know?" He said giving me a cheeky smile.
"Lucky guess." I smirked. For some reason I felt very vulnerable around him. I noticed how big his muscles were and he looked really strong.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Guess."
"Hmmmm Gertrude"
"What the hell my name isn't Gertrude! Well you're not the only one who have thought that before." I laughed.
"What?! No. How can a girl as pretty as you have a name like Gertrude?" He smirked.
I was quick to glance down hopefully hiding my blush. Oh no! It's 7:01! Ah! I'm going to be late for softball!
"Oh no! I have to go! I'm sorry! It was really nice to meet you bye!" I rushed.
"But wait-" he grabbed my arm and spun me back to him. It actually kind of scared me, knowing that I only just met him like 5 minutes ago. I pulled out of his grasp and starred at me. He starred back and his eyes grew dark.
I was already running out of the store. I looked back once and he was smiling right at me, with lust. Throughout the rest of practice, I could only focus on one thing. Grayson.
