Into The Moon (Book one) ........(First few chapters need serious editing)

chapter 16

“Nice of you to join us ladies” coach Klein’s voice boomed across the field as we jogged over to everyone else. Poor Gabby jumped a mile

“s..s…sorry sir” she muttered quietly turning beetroot red, bless her she was so shy and timid, how she became friends with the popular guys puzzled me, I mean she didn’t seem to have any girlfriends and the guys kind of saw her as one of them but I couldn’t see why, she wasn’t a tom boy, a joker or a jock. She just fit in so well with the guys I think they forgot she was a girl

“Sit” he bellowed as we moved towards the back to the guys, how they’d gotten changed so fast was beyond me but hey, one of the great mysteries of teenage life I suppose

We plopped down in between the twins. I smiled dropping my head on to Milos shoulder he was so comfy I adjusted my neck so I was looking at the coach catching a glance of Gabby starring at an oblivious Dan with wide eyes, it hit me Dan was who she was talking about earlier, oh this was good, I could fix them up I thought to myself turning my attention back to coach who was banging on about track times and how he wanted them improving, also try-outs for track were tomorrow.

#you trying out# Milos voice echoed in my head

#yeah may as well# I said #we still ditching#

#hell yeah, I wanna be alone with you again # he smiled as I looked up at him

#we can’t be long remember our wonderful talk with my dad# I cringed, oh the horror I dreaded to think what he wanted to say to me but it couldn’t be good

#I know baby, don’t worry I'll make sure were back#

I didn’t say anything else,I'd ditched school plenty of times when things got rough just to have a bit of peace from the chaos that was my life, funny how things change in such a short amount of time, yeah things were more confusing and complicated than ever before but I was also happier and more content than I’d ever been.

Gym class passed in a flash and after whooping dans butt three times after he demanded rematches just me and him. On the third time he admitted defeat and sulked off into the locker rooms. Practically the entire school had been either looking out of windows or gathered near the track watching our final rematch. We did two 200meters and the last race was a 500meters. No distance bothered me I was made for track even though I was short and dumpy and didn’t look like a runner; I hardly got out of breath and barely ached after. I breezed my way through all three races barely breaking a sweat. Coach Klein had pulled me to one side and demanded I sign up for track after beating another record. I just nodded and agreed thinking it couldn’t hurt to train harder, because I'd hardly run in the last year.

We had two hours till the end of school so after getting changed I snook out of the locker room to find Milo, I laughed at his so called stealth when I’d seen him hunched behind a trash can his fingers in the shape of a gun pretending to be on a mission. I walked over shaking my head at his stupidity, geez he was an idiot but he was my idiot

“What are you doing you giant tool” I laughed holding my hand out for him to grab so I could pull him up from his squatting position
