Tyler POV:
After literally dragging Nessa to the football field, she looked confused, even more confused than she does in math class but she also looked extremely furious at me for dragging her here
"Why are we here?" she asked
"Because you are going to try out for the track and field team" I said without even looking at her
I honestly don't like looking at people when I talk to them, I get distracted and I definitely don't like looking them in the eye when they are irritated
"Since when and says who?" she asks angrily
"Since today and says me" I said
She looked confused, nervous and also looked like she wanted to punch me. I can usually read people like open books but Vanessa, she's just difficult to read, she give mix emotions
"NO, I'm not" she said
"Why not? come on V please. We all know how much you enjoy running. Whenever I'm with Daniel all he talks about is how fast you are and how good you are" I said which was partially true
"There are reasons why I can't-" She was explaining before I interrupted her
"You can't or don't want to?" I questioned her
There is a difference between you can't do it and you don't want to. and from what Daniel tell me, she loves doing it so there is nothing in this world that can possibly stop her, unless she becomes paralyzed...
"I can't okay" I finally said solemn
"Okay, listen I don't know why you can't or don't want to but let me just tell you something. if you really like running don't let the past events stop you. you are good, I can tell that you are. I did track and field 2 years ago and lets just say my father wasn't happy about it. he was honestly against it so he forced me to stop and focus only on Football and till this day I regret listening to him. whatever happened to you in the past don't let it prevent you from doing what you love. Just try it one more time then you'll see how you feel" I explained
all I said to her was true, my father was a pain in the ass, he forced me to stop doing the one thing I truly loved and I regret it till this day,
She took a deep breath and she looked as if she was ready to punch me
"But I'm not ready!" She finally said
"Ready how, mentally or physically?" I asked
"Both"
"Just get out there and run" I said
"What about actual running clothes, Im wearing jeans!" she said sounding a bit angry
I didn't actually mean it in that way, It's funny seeing her frustrated
"No need to stress Princess" I said
Shit did I just call her Princess? Dumbass
I hope she didn't hear me
"And I need my running shoes as well and I also need my blocks with me!" she said not mentioning anything about what I just called her
"Okay fine let's talk to the coach and let her know that you are trying out tomorrow, okay?"
"How do you know she will let me try out?" she questioned
"She was my coach too, she knows a good athlete when she sees one, and she wont let a good athlete slip through her finger again. Plus if she says no I will talk to her myself" I explained
"Fine" she said angrily
Vanessa POV:
After having an argument with Tyler about me trying out I finally gave in and we were walking toward the coach to let her know that I'll be trying out tomorrow. I walked toward a young lady who looks on her mid 20s. She had a blue jacket that said COACH with large yellow letters. She was around 5 foot 5 and she had long, light brown, straight hair which was neatly put up on a ponytail.
"Excuse me Mrs..." I said waiting for her to tell me her name
"Miss Diaz, and you are?" she kindly asked
"Vanessa Smith" I said
"And how may I help you Vanessa?" she asked
"I know its already late, but I wanted to ask if I can still try out for the team?" I asked
"what do you do?"
"100m, 200m and long jump" I answered
"Ever did the 100m relay?" she asked studying me from the bottom of my shoes to my last hair standing
"Yes Miss, I always ran the last stretch"
"Very well, tomorrow straight after school. Be ready and on time"
She said then she turned around and continued coaching. I turned around still not believing what I had just done. I walked toward where Tyler was sitting waiting for me
"so?" he asked curiously
"tomorrow after school" I said with a smile on my face. I was so happy he forced me to do that
"Thank you, Tyler" I murmured
"For what?" he asked
"For getting me to do this" I replied
"No need to thank me V. That's what friend are for" he mentioned
Tyler and I made our way back to the parking lot where my motorcycle and his car were parked.
"A BMW R1200RT?" he asked
"Yeah" I said
I heard his phone vibrate, he took his phone out of his pocket and looked at the contact name that popped up. Then suddenly his face turned pale
"That's a cool motorcycle" he said while getting on his car and shutting the door before I could say anything and drove off
Rude...
I get on my motorcycle and drive away
