chapter eleven

Two days.

Two days later and Blake and I had failed to talked about the small kiss we shared before our presentation.

But luckily it wasn't awkward between the two of us.

Nobody else knows either.

Which is a good thing in my opinion. I would never hear the end of it from Carly, Reece, George, or Parker if they found out.

That would be miserable.

I walk towards the field, smiling when I see the boys already there.

We had decided to come to the school and play football for a little bit to help with all of the stress from school.

"Okay, what are the teams?" I ask, switching out my boots for the grey runners that I had thrown in my bag this morning as I was about to leave.

"Me and Reece against you and Blake?" Parker asks quickly.

The butthead has already thought of this, hasn't he?

It's just another attempt at getting me to admit my feelings for Blake.

Although I've already admit it to myself.

That's the worst part about all of this.

Oops?

I don't know what to do. I'm scared that if I tell him he's not going to feel the same, despite all of the signs.

I don't want to get my hopes up only to be let down.

I'm like that with everything I do.

"You do that a lot, don't you?"

I look over at Blake. "Do what?"

"Get lost in your head."

I raise an eyebrow "What does that mean?"

"You're always off in your own world."

"Oh. Yea, I guess you could say that happens a lot." I shrug. "Anyways, let's get to playing. I have to be home soon to watch Nova."

"Wait, when is George coming around?" Reece asks.

"I don't know. Sometime after he's done running errands with his mom."

He nods, grabbing a ball off the sideline.

"Let's do this."

Blake and I walk off to our own little area, coming up with a plan.

It was pretty easy to do considering we know how to play.

"Get off the field!"

We look up to see Anderson and some of his friends walking towards us.

"What the hell do you want?" I ask, walking towards him.
