Chapter 7

After classes I told Mel and Lilly that I'd be going to practice after school they mustn't wait for me. I went to the track and noticed that Wayne was already there. I went to him.

"You're late.", He said with smirk on his face.

"Hey after school is after school you set no time coach. So I'd like to know what you'd like to discuss with me ?", I said playfully.

"I want you to Sprint 500m and come back in 15 seconds on the track",he said as he took out a timer out of his pocket and sat on the benches.

"What!? That's impossible coach",

RING RING

My phone rang. When I took it out to answer it, he grabbed it and ran off on the track. I sprinted too, to try and catch up to him. The phone kept ringing and ringing and ringing on his hand. When I was almost there he dodged me and ran back towards the benches. I ran back to him and he sat on bench. I stood in front of him.

"20 seconds that's good for starters",his arm reaching out to hand me back my cellphone.

I snatched it and my face relaxed ND managed to crack a chuckle but still trying to catch my breath.

I looked at my phone to see who was calling...

Chris

Oh flip! I'll call him back.

When I tried to call him, Wayne took it and ended the call then placed it in my bag.

"Practice remember I'm sure that person can wait till we're done." He said pointing to the track.

We did a lot of practice and I learned a lot of other techniques and the right exercises for certain parts of my body.

"Okay it's getting late now let's go home, we're done for today. Uhm keep in mind that we'll be doing this everyday from now on ok."

"Yes coach", I said as we packed our bags to leave.

"Let's go grab something to eat you must be hungry", he said smiling.

My water bottle fell we both reached down to pick it up, suddenly we bumped our heads on each other, our hands touched and he looked at me. After a few seconds I stood up and I took it back.

"Sorry", I paused for a moment and then continued "Uhmm I ... I can't I'll be meeting someone but thanks", I lied

Why the hell was that so cliché *rolled my eyes so hard my eyeballs hurt*

"Ok maybe some other time then?", Still looking at me.

"Yeah sure coach", I smiled and looked down

I turned to walk towards the school gate and I tripped, I tried to balance but I couldn't.

Oh fujcakes I'm going down.

I felt soft hands wrapping themselves around my waist saving me from my fall. He lifted me up and turned me to face me leaving no gap between us.

shit so embarrassing.

I felt like kicking the stone but I just stared at it as if it were human.

"Watch your feet Williams ", I hear him say from behind. and I turn to see him giggle

"Sure"

We walked to the gate and I saw Chris standing there. He looked up and saw us coming. They exchanged looks and then Wayne looked back at me.

Listen! When I talk about tension in the air and awkwardness for me. We'd be talking about 110% in percentage.

I said goodbye to Coach and went to Chris. He looked at coach with cold eyes watching him walking out.

Whatever it is, it must be serious.
