My Swimmer (BxB) {Book 1}

Chapter 4

I sat back down at my seat, and sighed.

Today's swimming practice wore me out, I feel more tired than I usually would.

I couldn't help but close my eyes for a few minutes, my vision gradually became darker.

~~~

"Wake up, Payton." A voice called my name, I felt a nudge, "Wake up, it's over."

I groaned, "What's over?" then I realized I was still at the movie theater.

I opened my eyes, Brandon, Casey, and Riley were standing, giving me a stare.

"I got it, I'm coming, no need to stare at me like sleeping beauty." I waved my hand as I was getting up.

"What a waste of tickets if you weren't going to watch the movie and a waste of energy, you should've just went home and rest." Casey said.

"I'm fine, just tell me what happened in the movie when we get in the car." We all left the room.

"I need to go to the bathroom." Riley said.

"Wait for me, I need to go too." Brandon said catching up with Riley.

"Hey, October 31st is coming up," I started out, "you know what that means, right?"

"Hm, is it someone's birthday?"

I raised my eyebrows and gave him a 'really?' look.

"I'm kidding," he laughs, "I know, it's my favorite holiday too."

"Are you going to dress up?" I asked.

"Who dresses up at this age?"

I scoffed as a joke, "No one's too old for fun, right?"

"You might as well dress up as a prince, then."

"Then you guys be my right hand knights." I laughed.

"What about a princess?"

"Who knows" I shrugged, "I'll probably find one on Halloween night, how does that sound?" I joked.

"I don't know, you're always rejecting all the girls at school, I mean ever since you broke up with Ashley, I doubt you'll stick with one."

"Well who said I needed one. I wanna hang out with my bros."

An arm wrapped around my shoulder, "Awe, you're so sweet! Bros before gals." Brandon voices a baby talk.

"You," I unwrapped his arm, started going behind him, "carry me,"

"What? No, I thought you said you were fine just a few moments ago."

"I'm too tired." I whined and jumped on his back anyways, he caught me before I slid off, or we both probably would've fell.

It was pretty normal for me and my friends to give each other piggyback rides, it became a childhood habit, I even give them piggyback rides, well, sometimes, I'd prefer to be carried.

"Oi, I think you're getting lighter, is it just me?"

"We exercised a lot today, we didn't even eat, what'd you expect?" Riley answers.

"Mm." I hummed.

We walked back- well, my friends walked back to my car, Brandon drops me off in the driver's seat, Riley got into the passenger seat.

"Text us when you guys get home so we don't get worried." Brandon say waving us off.

As we drove, they went back to Brandon's car to get home.

I dropped Riley off, we said our goodbyes, I went to McDonald's to get ice cream to wake me up, but sadly, 'their ice cream machine was down', and I literally rolled my eyes, half of a time, it's down, some other time, it's not, I mean, why not get an extra machine?

Instead, I ordered a caramel frappe, which did contain caffeine in it.

~~~

I got home, parked my car in the driveway, and made my way upstairs to my room.

I texted the group telling them I got home okay, while I scrolled through Instagram posts, I was finishing up my caramel frappe.

I heard a knock, "Payton! Are you home yet?"

It was my youngest sister, Lily, she's 6 years old.

"Yeah, I'm coming." I said as I got out of my bed and opened the door.

"Mom said dinner's here." She said with her cute, sweet smile.

"What are we having?" I asked as I smile back.

"Mom ordered House Of Japan." Lily said.

One of my favorite food places.

I went downstairs to join my family to eat dinner.

~~~

After dinner, I went upstairs to get ready for bed.

That caffeine boosted a lot of my energy, now it's hard for me to sleep.

I got my headphones out, turned on any song on my Music app.

I don't know why I got caffeine, it was already bad enough that I'm such a night person/night owl, I mean I can stay up and sleep right away when I want to, but the caffeine makes it hard for me to sleep.

The music always helps me in many ways.

A/N:Hey, I wasn't planning on writing a whole day of the story for 3 chapters long, I'm trying to make the chapters shorter, because I know how overwhelming it feels to read a lot in just one chapter. I hope you enjoyed it.
