Bad Reputation

Ch. 24

The next day at school I walked in and Chris was waiting at my locker.

C- "good morning beautiful"
Y/n- "good morning Chris"
C- "you have a race this week right?"
Y/n- "yes. Friday"
C- "I'll be there"

He said kissing my cheek before walking off. I turned around to see Heidi standing behind me. I swear her jaw was almost on the floor.

H- "what was that?"
Y/n- "what was what?"
H- "I'm not blind. I saw that"
Y/n- "I don't know what you're talking about. There was nothing to see"
H- "are you two-?"
Y/n- "there is nothing between us. He's a friend. That is all"
H- "because that explains the cheek kiss now doesn't it?"

The bell rang.

Y/n- "come on, let's just get to class"
H- "we're not finished this conversation"

~ end of school day ~

I'd gone to the change rooms and put on my track uniform. I got out onto the field and started stretching. I saw Chris run down towards me.

C- "I just wanted to wish you good luck. Even though you don't need it"

He winked. I stood up and hugged him. Kissing him on the cheek this time.

Y/n- "thank you Chris"

He kissed my forehead before running back up into the stands. We took our marks for the race. Lining up. Hearing the starting call, we all began to run. This race is only 500 meters. As I ran, the only thing on my mind, was hugging Chris once I finished. I powered through the race and once again, my name was called out over the speakers.

Announcing me the winner.

C- "that's my girl!"

I heard him shout from the sideline. I ran over to him and hugged him. He lifted me up, spinning me around before resting my feet back on the ground again. I noticed Stephanie death staring me but chose to ignore it.

Y/n- "I'm just gonna go get changed. Then we can go hang out"
C- "okay, I'll be here"

He said as I ran off. I got back to the change rooms and got changed. As I was putting my stuff away I heard someone enter. I turned around to see Stephanie standing behind me with her arms crossed.

S- "well well well, if it isn't the tramp herself"
Y/n- "excuse me?"
S- "you really think Chris likes you?"
Y/n- "I'm sorry but I don't know what you're talking about"
S- "if you think he actually likes you? Well you're even dumber than you look"
Y/n- "and how would you know?"
S- "you're just another pawn in his game y/n. And it won't be long until he comes crawling back to me. I mean look at you and me. You're a track runner. Straight A student. Me? I'm head cheerleader. Most popular girl in school. You're a nothing compared to me. So when he gets sick of dealing with you as his new charity case. Just know, I'll be first in line to get him back"

With that, she spun around. Flicking her hair and walking away.
