Loving you is the antidote {ONGOING}

She

Ethan's POV:

Why couldn't I get her out of my mind ever since she whispered in my ear at lunch?! I saw her again at tryouts because her brother was there. While playing I looked up various times to see what she was doing. Every time I looked she was paying attention to her phone while smiling with that cute little dimple that forms only on the left side of her cheek.

Wait...did I just say cute? There must be something happening to me today, I'm not acting like my usual self.

After some hours the tryouts were officially over and she and her brother left. But a couple minutes after... she came back. I saw as she poked her head through the door to check something. I looked at the direction in which her eyes went and saw that she was looking at a turquoise bottle. She started running towards it but I got there faster. I was going to give it to her but then I remembered how she messed with me at the cafeteria and I wanted to get payback. Am I being petty? The answer is yes but I didn't care about that.

I told her that she would have to grab it, if she wanted it...which was going to be quite difficult since she only reached my shoulders. She started getting up on the bleachers and I did the the same. We kept playing our cat and mouse game until she slipped. She was going to fall and I don't know what came over me that I was suddenly scared at the thought of her falling. I rapidly grabbed her and turned us around so that I would be the one ending up on the floor. After we fell she looked into my eyes and I just couldn't look away. I know how it sounds ok? But I really don't know how to explain why.

Then she suddenly stood up and went running out of the basketball court as if her ass had caught fire. I would have laughed if I had not been on the floor at that moment and still in some kind of shock.

I haven't stopped thinking about her glistening brown eyes. What was happening to me?! I can't like her cause I'm pretty sure shell end up being just like all the other girls. The question is... why did a part of me think that wasn't the case?

I ignored the thought about her and went on with my day. When I got home dad was cooking some pasta. Nothing's been the same since mom died. I know my dad tries but I have a hole in my heart that can't be filled, no matter how much he loves me. I don't like talking about her to people because everyone feels pity as soon as they know what happened and I absolutely hate pity. I only talk about her with my dad.

I said hi to him before going up to my room. I put down my things down and got out tomorrow's work. I started doing math's homework until dad called me down to dinner.

"Hey son, how was the first day of school?" My dad asks with a smile as soon as we are both sitting on the table with our food. "It was normal. Nothing new." I  usually tell my dad everything but something was stopping me from telling her about the new girl so I just didn't mention that.

"Ohh...um well try the pasta! I followed a new recipe since last time the pasta wasn't good" He answered which I couldn't help but laugh at his comment while remembering what happened to the poor pasta last time.

"It's good dad. It's way better than last time" After hearing that he lightened up more. "I'm so relieved you think so, I really didn't wanna have to order takeout again"

"Yeah cause the last takeout food we ate tasted like shit" As soon as the word came out of my mouth I looked at my dad to see him giving me the 'I dare you to repeat that in front of me' look that only parents seemed to nail. I just murmured a sorry and kept eating. Didn't wanna poke the bear you know what I mean?

Some minutes passed and I talked again. "So... how was work?"

"It was good. Maybe I'll be getting a promotion soon but nothing is set in stone yet." I couldn't help but feel happy for my dad after hearing those words. He has worked very hard in order to get a promotion in his job. "That's amazing dad! You've been waiting one for forever and now may be your chance."

The rest conversation was about his work. He tried to ask me about school again but I really didn't wanna talk about that so I answered with simple answers and then carried on to change the subject. After finishing with our food, I went back to my room while dad went to clean the dishes. I put my homework back in my backpack and then went on to take a shower. After gets out of it and drying myself, I put on a loose t-shirt and some joggers. As soon as I rested my head on the pillow, I couldn't help get sleepy. So after putting my phone to charge, I started drifting to sleep. Though...I couldn't help but have curiosity of what might happen tomorrow with the new girl.
