High School-The run to popularity. discussion

Track

Henry sprinted his third run. A few cheerleaders cheering as the other members of the track rolled his eyes at him. He was just showing off to impress the girls.

Ryana sat a small distance away from the track, looking at Henry, slightly impressed

His teammates told him to stop by the 8th run. The cheerleaders worried he might have a heart attack, but this was nothing to him. He excused himself as he grabbed some water and dunked it all over his head. He drank a few bottles and then rested on the bleachers.

She looked at him, Wow she thought as she opened her bag and took out a book

He rested on the bleachers, trying to rest up his muscles. He looked to his left and spotted someone with a book and a bag. Huh.. He sighed, placing his head against the row of bleachers behind him.

She moved her gaze away from him as he looked at her and started reading her book

He fell asleep within minutes.

She saw him sleeping and smiled to herself. So even popular guys tend to fall asleep in public

His teammates tried waking him up, but he was sound asleep. They chuckled, drawing a few faces before they left.

She chuckled, So someone who has been trying to impress girls his whole life just falls asleep in public, wow, such a great impression

The cheerleaders tried waking him up too, but he didn't get up.

((kk, np))

She sighed and went back to reading her book

He tossed and turned slightly, but didn't wake up.

((lol))

She tilted her head wondering if she should just go to the library and read instead of sitting here and looking at a sleeping guy

He started shivering as it got colder, he had forgotten his jacket.

She wrapped a blanket around herself wondering if she should do the same for him

He continued to shiver.

She sighed, took out another blanket from her bag, went to him and slowly wrapped it around him, trying her best not to wake him up

He jolted, waking up to see the blanket. Looking up he saw the girl. "So, you finally decided to come huh?" He asked.

"Uh" she said backing away. I knew wrapping a blanket around himself wasn't the best idea she scolded herself

He chuckled. "You the kid from earlier?" He asked, looking at her.

"Um, i don't know what you're talking about she said backing up some more clutching her book and backpack close to herself

"You were the girl who had the bag and the book from when I was running." He said, chuckling.

"Uhhhh" she said turning wondering if she should just make a run for the library before anything else happened, completely forgetting the fact that he was an athlete

He chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't spread nasty rumors about you." He said.

"Uhh" she said looking back at him wondering if he would do just that and was lying

"I'm just an athlete, you need to be a gossip dude to be nasty." He said.

"Um, okay" she said relaxing a bit

He chuckled. "What's your name?" He asked.

"Ryana, you?" she asked wrapping the blanket more tightly around herself wondering why he was chuckling soo much

"Henry." He said.

"Okay" she said

He laughed. "You know for a nerd you are pretty chatty." He retored.

"Liking to read is not called being a nerd" she mutters, barely audible, "Anyways, not to be rude or anything but I think I should go" she said. So please give me back my blanket she thought hoping that she wouldn't have to ask for it.

"Alrighty then. I'll take you home, it's pretty dark here after all." He said.

((He's offering to take her to his house right?))

"B-but" she protested trying to find a good reason to why she'd want to go to her own house rather than his, "Uh, m-my mom will get r-really worried if I don't go back to my own house" she stammered, clearly lying. I wish something like that would happen, if I don't go back, she's just going to think I decided to stay at school or something and that she has one less problem to deal with, as if I'm a problem, she thought kind of sadly but mostly ruefully.

((yeah.))
"We can call her once you're at my house so she knows you are safe. And it's getting really dark so you might get robbed or kidnapped on the streets." He said.

"Um, okay" she says not knowing exactly how to decline his offer without being rude.

"Come on, let's go." He said, motioning for her to come with him.

She kept her book in her bag and followed him

They headed out of the track.
