The Typical Girl and the Nerd boy

Chapter=19

Jonah (P.O.V)

I think she is taking competition too seriously because she is working very hard. For the first time, she took time for 20sec but after trying three times she completed in 15sec. We ran so many times to get 14sec. Rain and I both are tired. We both told her to take some rest but she didn't listen and told us to rest. But we also told that if she doesn't take rest even we are not going to take rest. After one more round. She is resting because of us. After resting 15 minutes. She started to speak.

"I want to run 100m by 14sec." She said and let me tell you that she ran faster than me and Rain. I was always last to reach.

"Ready... go," Rain said and we started running again.

In a few seconds, we reached the point. Rain saw the stopwatch and a big smile spread on his lips.

"14sec," he said breathlessly.

"Finally, I did it." Ariana squeal making us chuckle.

"Let's go home, I am tired" finally she said. Rain took water bottles and started to say something.

"I am going directly to my house," he said handling my water bottle.

"Bye Aari and Jonah," he said and we waved our hands towards him.

"Let's go" I announced. I think her legs are paining that's why is she walking with a limp.

"I think your legs are paining," I asked but it was more than like a statement.

"Yeah" she replied.

"Jump on my back," I said.

"I think your legs would also be paining since you have also run with me" she replied.

"I am not participating in this competition so, it's not a problem. If you walk home then you won't be able to run tomorrow" I explained. She jumped on my back hesitatingly. We reached home after ten minutes. I made her stand on her leg. We walked inside the Ariana house. We sat on the couch when Mr. Gonzales came out of the kitchen. I think he spends more time in the kitchen by making food.

"You guys look tired?" he said with a raised eyebrow.

"We were practicing for a running competition" I replied.

"Oh, your competition started?" he asked and I nodded.

"You are taking part in the running competition?"

"No" I replied sincerely.

"Then why did you practice?" he asked again and I don't know why he asking so many questions since he never asked.

"Rain and I both were giving her company"

"Where is Rain?" he asked again. Like seriously why he is asking so many questions today.

"He went directly to his home" We both turned to Ariana because she was not saying a word and when we saw she was soundly asleep.

"This girl?" Mr. Gonzales shook his head and started shaking her to get her up. She got up.

"Dad, I am tired let me sleep" she whined while pouting.

"Go to your bedroom if you want to sleep," he said and she walked to her room.

"Mr. Gonzales, I am leaving," I said and started to move.

"When you will come for dinner?" he asked.

"Sorry, Mr. Gonzales I don't have an appetite" I replied sincerely.

"Ok then" finally he went to the kitchen. As soon as I enter my house, I went to bed directly without changing clothes.
