Elizabeth Olsen x Female Reader("Soulmates from the start")

Chapter 54-There's always next year

*It has been a few weeks. Today was what you thought would be your last track meet of the season. Lizzie came to watch because the meet was in Santa Barbara(not far from L.A).*

You were talking with your coach after the meet and then you run over to Lizzie.

Lizzie: You did great! That was so impressive! That was your personal best for that one event right?

You nod as you are putting on your sweatshirt.

Y/N: Yeah it was, for the 1500. And guess what! I qualified to go to NCAA nationals!

Lizzie: That is amazing! I'm so proud of you!
She kisses you and then takes out her phone.

Y/N: Hey I kinda wanna bask in the glory right now, why did you go in your phone?
You look down

Lizzie laughs and kisses your cheek.

Lizzie: I'm calling your mom. She made me promise to talk to her as soon as the meet was over. You know how much she wanted to be here, and she is gonna be even more sad that she wasn't here when she finds out that you qualified for nationals!

Y/N: Oh-In that case, I guess you can go on your phone.

Lizzie: Thank you.
She giggles.

She finds your mom's contact and calls her.

Mom on the phone: Hi! How did it go?! Is she okay? She didn't get hurt or pass out did she? I checked the weather and saw that it was really hot in Santa Barbara!

You lean over and talk into the phone.

Y/N on the phone: Jeez mom, have a little faith in me!
You laugh
Yeah it's hot but I'm used to it.

Lizzie on the phone: It went great! She qualified for nationals!

Mom: WHAT?! Oh my gosh! I can't believe I wasn't there!

She leans over her shoulder and yells to your dad in another part of the house.

Mom: Honey! Y/N qualified for cross country nationals!

You roll your eyes and yell into the phone

Y/N on the phone: Track not cross country mom!

You whisper to Lizzie.

Y/N: She always gets those mixed up!

Lizzie nudges you.

Lizzie: Well she's trying, she's happy for you.

Mom on the phone: I meant track! Either way, I'm so so so proud of you bubs! I love you more than anything!

Y/N: Thanks mom! I love you too!

*You say goodbye and then you and Lizzie go out for food with your teammates.*

*That night, you drive back to the Los Angeles airport with Lizzie, instead of taking the bus with your team. You listen to and sing along to music the entire time.

As you are entering downtown L.A, you turn down the music and look over at Lizzie.

Y/N: So I wanted to talk about after school gets out. I have a few different offers for jobs this summer but one of them is for another marvel movie and...

Lizzie: Oh thank god you got that too!

Y/N: You are in it too? I didn't know, ya know all the secrecy and everything. That's great because I was worried since it is in Atlanta again. I didn't want to leave you for the whole summer.

Lizzie: I didn't want to leave you either, but looks like we won't have to!

Y/N: I was kinda looking forward to spending the summer in L.A, but I'm happy about this too!

Lizzie: So I guess we should start looking for an apartment in Atlanta. Maybe we can get the same one we had last time? I loved that one!

Y/N: Yeah I did too!

*A few minutes later you arrive at the airport and say your goodbyes. You go and get on the plane with your team.*

*Time skip-Today you are at Nationals for track. You are just running the 1500. You are warming up for your race and talking with some of your competitors.*

Woman from another team: So your a junior, senior?

Y/N: No.
You giggle
I'm a freshman.

Woman from another team: Oh-

She looks really surprised and a little smug.

Women from another team: Well don't feel bad if you don't place very well. It is your first time at nationals. There's always next year.

Y/N: I think I can hold my own.

Woman from another team: Huh, well good luck.

*You are all called to the starting line.*

The official fires the starting gun and the race begins.

You come around the first curve in the front of the pack, but you know that you cannot hold this pace. You find a more steady pace and settle into the middle of the group.

You are now a lap and a half in and you are running on the right side of the girl that you spoke to at the beginning. You notice her step over the line(out of bounds) multiple times but say nothing. She pulls ahead of you as you finish the next lap.

You get to the last 100 meters of the race and pick up your knees and elongate your stride, sprinting as fast as you can!
To your dismay, you trip slightly, messing up your stride and causing you to finish just after the other girl.

She comes over to you as you are breathing really heavily.

Woman from other team: Nice race.

Y/N: You too.

Then an official comes over to her.

Official: I'm sorry to say that you are disqualified. You stepped inside the line many times. This means that Y/N is now awarded 5th place.

You try to hide your smile. You go over and shake the hand of the woman from the other team.

Y/N: Sorry to hear about that. There's always next year.

She smiles and shakes your hand but then glares at the ground as she walks away.
