My Name Is Payton

Chapter Twenty - Discovered

Chapter Twenty - Discovered

"Payton! Payton, wait!" I sauntered out of school, not bothering to look back at Jade. The sound of her footsteps started to speed up, telling me she was starting to run. I sighed and started picking up the pace. I didn't want to talk to Jade right now, I just couldn't. 

I ran all the way home but I texted Issy so she wouldn't have been waiting for me.

As soon as I got home, I rushed hurriedly up the stairs ignoring my mother.

I shouldn't be upset about this, should I? I rubbed my eyes vigourously and went to bed early without dinner.

I woke up an hour earlier than what my alarm was set to. Turning off the alarm, I had a short shower.

Today, I wanted to wear something that would be easy to run in, you never know when I'll see Jade again.

I shrugged on a pair of black opqaue leggings --that weren't see-through so you could not see my butt. I pulled on a plain white singlet and a grey hoodie on top. I slipped on my nike roche trainers for running.

Grabbing an apple, I walked out the door after saying goodbye to my family. I texted Issy saying I didn't need a lift to school and I ran all the way to school which wasn't that far now that I had ran it.

It was quite early, 30 minutes till school started. I ran straight to the school field ignoring the stares of the people that came early.

I had my grey hoodie up and covering a lot of my face. I plugged in my earphones and scrolled through the songs on my iPhone, I clicked on a random Beyonce song.

I ran a few laps and started to break a sweat. I ran with my head down and my hood still up. 

I hadn't noticed that there was no-one on the field when there usually was.

"Hey! You!" A voice shouted loudly. I looked up to see Coach Marshall and Mrs Lockett at the far end of the field. They were the Physical Educations teachers. I jogged hurriedly over to them.

I suddenly remembered that no-one was allowed on the field in the mornings as it was usually being cleaned, I was going to get into so much trouble. 

"Payton?!" Coach shouted in shock.

"Yes coach." I replied quietly.

"What are you doing out there?" Mrs Lockett asked in astonishment.

"Running, I forgot we weren't allowed there in the mornings, I'm sorry."

She overlooked my apology, "Running? You never run in my lessons, you always make excuses."

I shrugged, "It's my..." I thought for a second before answering, "new hobby." 

Coach eyed me suspiciously, "I saw you running," I nodded slowly. "-And you're fast." I was beaming brightly, "But not fast enough." My smile dropped. Praise from the Coach was very rare.

He looked at his watch carefully, "You've been running for 25 minutes non-stop." He saw my expression which was confused, "It's a  good thing."

Nodding again, I fiddled with the sleeves of my hoodie. "Would you like to be in the track or sprint team?" Mrs Lockett asked.

I opened my mouth in shock. Me? Compete? I'd be too nervous with things like that.

"I don't know..." 

"Okay, take your time deciding...but I need to know by tomorrow afternoon as there's a competition." Coach said. My jaw dropped, he told me to take my time! 

"You have the speed and agility, Payton from what I could tell, tomorrow after school we have sprinting practises," She gave me a stern look, "I hope to see you there."

They marched away talking leaving me standing there, stunned.

 What?!
