When Love Dies

Chapter Eight

Kelly.
After that little encounter with Beyoncé I had butterflies. She made my life so confusing she wanted to do relationship things but not be in a relationship. I've never in my life fooled around with a female, let alone actually have thing for one.

I started to do my warm up laps to drown the thoughts flowing through my head. I started jogging as I watched the freshmen sprint the warm up laps

Idiots.

I chuckled at the small thought and continued to finish 4 laps. Once I was done I headed over to the field and started warming up. I started on a couple of  high knees until someone tapped me on the shoulder.

I turned around and saw that it was Robyn. Robyn was such a nice person the time I've been at this school her and Zendaya were truly good friends to me. I took my airpod out and smiled.

"Wassup" I said, as I sat on the ground to stretch

"I'm waiting to see the magical time you keep yapping about for your 400" She chuckled while stretching her arms.

"Oh trust me you'll see" I winked.

"Hm." Robyn thought for a minute before she started to speak again. "Sooooo you and beyoncé... what's up with that" She spoke out joining me on the floor.

I let out an exhale. "Ummm.. I don't know, your just chilling you know" I looked up at her

Deep down I wanted to say more, but in front of her friend I didn't want to say too much. I don't want this friendship to become those type of friendships where we only discuss me and my partner. Robyn was a good person and I just wanted her as friend.

"you should consider going on that date with her" she smiled and wink.

"yeah i-"

My sentence was cut short by the coaching bowing his whistle. We lined up to start doing our time trials for the beginning for the of tryouts. It was a lot of girls I was starting to get nerves. I spotted Robyn and decided to stand next to her.

"I thought beyoncé was trying out" I asked her out of curiosity

"Nah, she told me she was just gonna focus on football and basketball I guess."

I shook my head.

It was time for the 100 meter dash which wasn't my strongest. I had stamina more then I had speed and this event is strictly speed demons.

After finishing the 100, 200, and 400 meter dash. I was nervous because the coach wasn't telling us time after we ran which was nerve reckoning. Once I finished my finished my time trial events I sat in the grass and thought if I should actually hang out with Beyoncé', I knew I was already but I was deciding on who I wanted to be today.

Everyone finished their trials and the coach told us to line up. I was assuming he was about to tell us who made the team which was weird because in Chicago they would display outside their door the next day.

Guess not. The coaching started saying names and telling them to to either stay or locker room.

"Don't not do the following until the end? okay"
"Iris, stay"

"Jhenal, locker room"

"Dev, stay"

"Ashley, stay"

"Jordyn locker room"

I was getting nervous because no one knew what locker room or staying meant.

"Kelly, stay"

After about a couple minutes the coach started to say
"If i told you locker unfortunately you did not make the team and I need to pack up and head out. You guys all wor...."
