10 laps II

"Could you go a bit faster" she said

" I could if your hair isn't covering my face" he said

" Don't blame it on my hair" she said packing it up

" Did you change your shampoo?"

" Yes, why did you ask?"

" Nothing, I like the other one better" he said and she smelt his hair

" I think I'm steal your shampoo as well"

" Now I know how my things disappear"

" Oh, don't blame me. I only took your shirt, your snickers, your sunscreen.."

" My sunscreen, no wonder I've not seen it around"

" I'm not giving them back so don't even ask"

" I wasn't going to ask, I was going to steal them back"

" Well, a thief doesn't tell the owner he's plans"

" Wait, when did you turn to the owner. Those things are mine"

" Not anymore"

" Wait, isn't that the girl that made you run 10 more laps"

" Yeah, she is. I'm going to cut her into pieces, you can drop me off now"

" But your leg.."

" I'll manage"

"Okay" he said dropping her off

Before Tara and Connor got their Alex and the rest had gotten there, so Tara and Connor stopped in their tracks to watch.

" Hey, you must be Nancy. The girl that didn't want to run because she thinks she's too pretty" Alex said in a harsh tone

" Yeah, you won't understand that"

" What do you mean?"

" We got to be as pretty as you to understand why we cant use our legs"

" See, she gets it. Try turning pretty and you'll understand"

" You can't speak to her like that" Connor said interfering

" Hey handsome"

" Take what you said back"

" What?"

" That she's not pretty"

" Well, she's not so.."

" I won't repeat myself"

" What do you see in her"

" She can use her legs, as well as her brain" Mika said

" Okay, that was rude. You all don't get it, I bet she would" she said referring to Tara

" Well, they are right. You definitely not using your brain because how does your leg after your beauty and if you talking about shaping your legs, guys like girls with skinny long legs not some fat chubby lap caused by eating everyday and not able to run just for ten minutes and putting us all in your stupid goddamn situation" Tara said without a pause

" Ok, that's enough" Connor said calming her down

" No, she needs to hear it. She needs to hear how stupid she is and selfish that she's putting us all through 10 more laps just because she wants to keep her beauty. To hell with your beauty, cause the guys you are doing it for practically hates you because they also have to run 10 more laps because of you" Tara said

" Okay, that's enough. I can't just sit here and let you all insult me infact I'll have you all reported for bullying"

" Hey, buttercup. Listen to me, if I have to go one more lap because of you.... Not only your beauty but your whole life won't see the next day" Alex said bringing out her pocket knife

" Okay, I think she gets it" Jeremy said pulling Alex back

" And one more thing, don't ever call Alex ugly because she's natural. She doesn't need makeup or ornaments to beautify herself unlike you, I bet you cant even sleep without it or people will run from you with that hideous face of yours." Tomika said

" Scrap" Alex yelled and she ran off

" That felt good" Tara said

" Looks like your leg isn't paining you again, have a nice walk to the shop"Connor said

" No, it still hurts"

" I'm not carrying you again"

" Ouch!, it hurts so much"

" Fine, lets go" he said bending down for her to climb.

They have forgotten people were standing in front of them staring.

" Sorry, we got carried away" Tara said

" Thank you for stepping in" Alex said

" We would have stepped on anyways" Conor said

" Yeah, we actually planned on beating her to a pulp but I hope this works" Tara said

" Yeah, it's nice meeting you. I'm tom.."

" Mika, she's Mika and I'm Alex"

" I'm Tara, and this is Connor"

" Yeah, I already know who you are" Mika said

" From your shop" Jeremy said

" Oh ok, you can come grab a bite" Mika said

" Maybe some other time, we have somewhere to be" Alex said

" Oh okay, goodbye then" Connor said

" Yeah bye"

" You almost blew our over " Alex said

" How?" Mika asked

" Have you forgotten we are hiding our identities" Jeremy said

" Oh, I forgot. But she was so cool out there, the way she was talking" Mika said

" Back off Mika, she's mine" Jeremy said

" Nope, I think she's he's " Mika said

" What do you mean?" Alex asked

" Didn't you see how they're close to each other" she said

" It can be just like our case, they're probably best friends" he said

" You think" she asked

" Yeah" he said

" Okay" she said

Tara and Connor got to bakers grab a bite and met cyma, Douglas and Tyler talking

" Cyma" Tara said hugging her

" My girl is getting big" cyma said

" Thanks to us" Douglas said

" Me especially" Connor said sitting

" Oh, what's your role in it?" Tara asked

" You want me to tell them how I carried you on my back from school to this place" Connor said

" You already said it" Tara said

" What's bad if your boyfriend carries you home" cyma said

" I'm not her boyfriend" Connor said

" You say that all the time, c'mon let's go" cyma said

" But I just got here" he said

" And we are leaving" she said dragging him along

" Why did you even come back" he asked breaking free

" Cause of you" she said

" Why?" He asked

" Cause I love you" she said

" Lies" he said as they left

Tara sat down beside Tyler and she notice him and Douglas staring at her

" What?" She asked

" He still doesn't know" Douglas said

" I think he deserves some more time" she said

" More time?, to tell him how you feel" Tyler asked

" Yeah, to understand where we stand" she said

" Just tell him how you feel, and you can give him time to decide" Tyler said

" Be like me, I like a girl I tell her how I feel" Douglas said

" Yeah, yeah. We hear that all the time but we never seen prove" Tyler said

" At least we are better than you who denied it even though it is true" Tara said to Tyler

" That's true, is it still going on?" Douglas asked

" I don't know, I mean she got back and we haven't spoken about it yet" he said sipping his drink

" And she hasn't mentioned another guy as well, so she probably still thinks it's on" Douglas said

" I don't know, cyma do move on fast" Tara said

" Yeah, and it's been months now so I can't really say" he said

" Then find out, you guys said you were going for a party with the Blings tonight right?" Douglas said

" Since when did you start partying with the Blings" she asked

" Oh, he has a crush on this new Bling Mexican girl" Douglas said

" I don't have a crush on her and stop calling her a Bling" he said

" But that's what she is, I mean she's related to the simons" Douglas said

" The Simons?" She asked

" Yep, and cyma seems to like her too" Douglas said

" If cyma likes her, she isn't that bad but she's a Bling so.." she said

" Didn't spend much time here, she came back few weeks ago. She spent her whole life in mexico with her dad" he said

" How do you know so much information?" Douglas asked

" We've been talking" he said

" I don't know what you want exactly, cyma or the new Bling Mexican girl you have a crush on" Tara said

" Don't call her that, she has a name" Tyler said

" Oh really, she does?" Tara said sarcastically

" It's Banks" Douglas said

" She's a Bank, I thought they were no more Banks" Tara said

" It's Kiara Banks" Tyler said

" Kiara, that's a nice name. Looking forward in meeting her" Tara said
