"Quinn hurry you'll be late for school." My Grandfather yells from downstairs.
"I'm coming!" I screamed back. I stayed up all night talking to Myers on the phone. About his car crash and about the kiss. I haven't even told Lyra about this kiss and seeing Alexander at the grocery store. I'm literally torn between two guys. Myers is someone I can see myself with, whereas I barely know Alexander but there is something about him that draws me in.
For Instance, at the party he helped me with Will and he paid for my groceries which lets me know that he'll always be there for me. Also, listening to my problems on the business trip. We have these moments that are not planned and I live for them to happen more and more. The thing about Alexander that bothers me is that he's 2 years older than me. If I was 22 and he was 24 then no problem, but I'm 17 and he's 19 that's causes a problem.
I brush it off and head downstairs. Walking into the kitchen I see Grandpa making muffins, blueberries my favorite.
"Did you make these for me?" I wrap my arms around his waist and give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Actually, there for Irene I was going to go down to The Tribune to surprise her." He puts the last few muffins in the basket and wraps them up.
I put my hand on my chest and act all hurt. "Oh, so there's another woman, I'm distraught."
"You will always come first Quinneth." I reach over and give me a big hug. While he's in my arms I grab two muffins from the basket and bolt towards the door.
"I love you gramps!" Shutting the door, I drive off really quickly so he won't catch me, I'll apologize later.
Couple minutes later...
I throw my backpack over my shoulder and head down to the locker room. Opening the door girls surround the place gossiping and changing into their gym clothes. I pass the first two sets of the lockers until I see Lyra putting on her shoes.
"Where were you? If coach knows you showed up late, she'll make us all run laps." She finishes tying her shoes and puts the rest of her stuff in her locker. I sit my bag down and start undressing.
"Sorry... I was up all night talking to Myers on the phone and then I fell asleep at 2 in the morning and woke up an hour late." I finish changing my clothes and start tying my hair up.
"Back up the train you were talking to Myers on the phone, since when are you talking to him again?" She asked.
"He came by the house last night when we had the dinner for Irene and Grandpa. He told me the reason he missed our date is because he was in a car accident." Closing my locker, I walk over to the sinks to check my hair out.
Lyra hot on my trails follows behind me. "He came by and you didn't tell me? What kind of friendship is this we keeping secrets now?"
"No. I just didn't want to say anything it wasn't a big deal." I'm lying it was a big deal.
"OK then what happened next?" She asked crossing her arms.
"He then kissed me." I turn around away from the mirror to see her mouth hanging open.
"HE DID WHAT!" She said while screaming. The whole locker room turned around to look at us. I pulled her away from the onlookers towards the showers.
"Can you not be so loud?" I leaned into her whispering.
"You have no right to tell me to be quiet. I can't believe you didn't say anything, we tell each other everything."
"I didn't want to say anything because if I say it out loud then... it's real and what about Alexander?" I tell her while sitting down on the bench.
"What about Alexander?" She sat down beside me turning her head towards mine.
"There's something about him Lyra he's... Different and not the 'he isn't like someone I never met before' different. The way I feel when I'm around him and when we were at the grocery store, he shook my hand and I felt sparks... Literal sparks Ly." I said showing her the palms of my hands.
"Wait shook his hand where?" She asks.
"At the grocery store, I'll tell you later want to meet up for burgers later?"
"Yeah let's do that there's a lot we have to catch up on."
Before we could say anymore, we hear a loud whistle from our coach, Ms. Pellowski.
"Come on ladies those laps won't run themselves." She says as she clapped her hands together. Everyone pours out of the locker room including me and Lyra to go to the track. How I loathe running.
20 minutes later...
Me and Lyra lay on the track sweating and out of breath. We had to run a mile around the track and it's like 100 degrees out here.
"I'm literally dripping sweat as we speak. So, disgusting this is inhumane." Lyra says in a angry tone.
"It's not inhumane Lyra it's a standard P.E. requirement." I tell her while standing up to stretch my sore bones.
"Whatever I can't wait till this class Is over." She grunts out.
"Me too, let's go over to the bleachers." She gives me a nod and we walk over to the bleachers.
We sit in silence for a few minutes just to catch our breaths. The bright sun beams down on us as we lay on the bench. I lay on the top bench while Lyra lays below me. She rolls over to look up at me.
"Hey I need a favor from you?"
"Anything, what is it." I rise up from laying down and give her my full attention.
"So, the vet clinic is hosting a charity event to raise money for the strays. The girls and the boys are auctioning ourselves off to people in the audience and Mary bailed out on us at the last minute and we need a new girl so I was wondering..." I raise my hand up to her indicating I don't want the sentence to be finished.
"No, I will not be on display for men to buy me." I start to get up and walk away.
"Look I wouldn't be asking if it wasn't serious." She jumps in front of me. "We need another girl and you owe me for not telling me about Myers and Alexander." I roll my eyes at her and let out a huge breath I will come to regret this.
"Fine, what do I have to wear?" She jumps up and down in excitement and gives me a huge hug. I cringe when I feel her sweat on me, she instantly let's go and says sorry.
"Clariza's Closet donated some dresses for the event so you'll just wear Mary's dress."
"Ohhh I love their dresses!" This may not be bad after all.
"Yeah you'll love this one." Ms. Pellowski blows her whistle.
