If You Dare Love Me

Chapter nine

"Victoria Martins! Everyone is busy exercising what gives you the right to loaf around", the school coach yelled at Vicky who was busy reading her geography notes.
"I'm sorry", Vicky said closing her book.
"Well.....",he gave a satisfied smile.
"I'll be leaving now", she walked passed the coach and sat on the bleachers and continued reading.
"Victoria Martins!!"
Coach was angry.
"Coach she's too frail for vigorous exercise. Please cut her some slack", Brooke pleaded.
"It's just a warm up. She should exercise more", coach pointed out.
"All these academic achievers..... They're going to faint on their books",he sighed.
"Let's continue",he told the other students.

Brooke walked to her friend,
"Studying is important but exercising is just as necessary or....."
"Watch out!"
A football flew past and hit Vicky and she fell from the bleachers.
"Ouch!", she cried on the floor.
"Vicky! You're bleeding!", Brooke exclaimed.
"It's not that painful", Vicky whinced.

"Did our ball hit you? Are you alright? Are you injured?",a voice asked." Let me take you to the infirmary"

Vicky stared at the owner of the voice.
"I........"

"It's Sean Lockhart!"
"I wish that ball had hit me"
Girls murmured.

He carries Vicky in his arms.
"Hey! Put me down..... Ah!"

"It's okay sweety",he said calmly.
'What's this strange feeling?',he thought as he walked to infirmary.

"I didn't think we'd meet this soon and like this, I guess that's fate for you",Dr Jason said smiling as he walked in.
"Just do your examination and cut the crap",Sean said.
"Hey don't talk to Dr. Jason like that!", Brooke defended while Vicky sighed.

"Why are you so impatient?",Dr Jason and as he inspected Vicky's bruises.
"Aren't those just some scratches?", she asked.
He poked her bruises.
"Ow!", she cried.
"No. There's a swelling with your leg muscles. ",he poked her arm.
"That hurts..."
"Your arm muscles swelled too. Your whole body is weak",he said.
"You don't exercise much. You only have scratches but your body is strained",he continues.
"I don't have time to exercise, I need that time to study", Vicky said.
"Your health is important too,if you want to keep on studying you need to take care of your body", Dr Jason adviced.
"I'll go get some ice",he said.
"I'll help you", Brooke said excitedly, following him.

"I haven't introduced myself. I'm Sean Lockhart", Sean said stretching his hand for a handshake.
Vicky stared at his hand and shook it smiling.
"I'm Victoria Martins. My friends call me Vicky"

"If you don't mind I'm the football team captain. I can train you",he said.
"It'd be a waste of time", Vicky said.

"You'd be saving more time than being stuck here receiving treatment", Dr Jason said as he walked in with Brooke.

He placed a bandage on her knees.
And just stared at her.
"Why are you staring at me?" Vicky asked irritated.
"I still am interested in your body",he said softly.
Vicky froze.
"I'm also interested in your mind too"
Vicky frowned.
"I'm interested in both, really. In my entire life you're the first girl that I've felt such interest in",he continued.

"Stop saying that weirdo! You're scaring her", Sean said.

"Don't deny you don't have a crush on her. Why do you care so much for her?", Dr Jason said smiling.

"I.... I can't explain it...."

Vicky watched them both.
'Seriously'
