บท 23: Anger
The next day, I have the track competition. I start stretching away from everyone else. Izzie soars through my head. Al I can think about is her lips on someone else. I should have never broken up with Evan and kissed her in the first place. I see her staring at me. She waves at me, awkwardly. I look away from her and walk away. I talk to Sharice before I get lined up, ready to sprint. Last time I had to run when I had Izzie and Evan on my mind, I did really bad. But now, there's too much at stake. I need to break the record. Izzie lines up next to me, and I feel her eyes burning holes on me. Everyone gets in position. I take a deep breath, and then the whistle blows. I launch forward right on time. I won't let Izzie screw this up for me. Two girls from another team get ahead of me, but not for long. My anger about Izzie kissing some random guy washes over me, and it pushes me harder. I can hear my heart pounding out of my chest. I look behind me, and I'm winning. I keep running, faster, and faster, until I pass the finish line. I stop quickly and look at the time. I did it! I beat the record! Everyone runs up to me, even my old coach. He hugs me. Sharice gives me a hug too, and everyone on the team congratulates me. "You looked good out there, Newton." Izzie says. I say nothing, and walk away with Sharice. I can't believe I beat the record.
When I head home and go to school the next day, people congratulate me in the halls. People I've never even met before. I walk to my locker, with a smile plastered on my face. I see Izzie standing ahead of me. My smile drops. "Can we talk?" "Nope." I say, and I keep walking. I hear her behind me. "I'm sorry." "I'm sick of you apologizing." I get to my locker and open it. "You led me on, you're jerking me around, I hate it." I grab my books, and slam my locker door shut. She looks at me. "I really like you." Well she definitely has a great way of showing it. "Yeah, in this moment. But in ten minutes you might be embarrassed by me, or kissing some random guy." I walk away from her. I'm so done with her bullshit. She does stuff like this all the time, and just says sorry. It doesn't mean anything anymore. "Just leave me alone." I say, as I hear her trailing behind me again. "Newton." "What?" I turn around angrily. Izzie steps close to me, and quickly envelopes me in a kiss, in front of everyone. I kiss her back, even though I'm mad. "I'm done being weird." She says. "That was pretty weird." I reply. "Bad weird?" I give her my answer by wrapping my arm around her, holding her close. I can't stay mad at her forever. I know she was just as confused as I was. I feel her smile against me, as we walk down the halls, close together.
