LISA'S POV
I finished changing and walked outside onto the track field. I stood in a spot and began stretching then noticed Jennie talking and stretching with a group of other girls not too far from me. I checked the time on my watch and saw I still had 10 minutes until the coach gets here. I need to ask her why she slapped me and got mad
I walked to Jennie, who noticed me, and turned around
"Jennie, hey...why did you slap me?" I asked curiously
"You should know why" she replied not making eye contact with me
"I don't know why that's why I asked?" I said getting annoyed
"Figure it out yourself!" She snapped then walked away
Why is she such a pain
I continued stretching for the remainder of the time, still trying to figure out why she did that, but the coach showed up and blew her whistle signaling us all to line up on the tracks. She blew her whistle again and we began running our 5 laps. I hate running laps
The whole time I was running I did nothing but think about why she slapped me. Then it hit me
That's why she's mad? I was just speaking the truth
I finished my lap and walked over to the bench and got a drink of water. I then looked over and saw Jennie who was sitting on the other end of the bench
I walked over and sat by her. "What do you want?" She asked blankly
"I know why you slapped me," I said nonchalantly
"Why?" She replied crossing her arms and staring at me. This is so annoying
"It was because I said you were fat, right?"
She sighed and looked at me again. "Yes it was"
"Okay" I was fixing to get up and leave, but she grabbed me and pulled me back down
"You're not off the hook yet. You have to apologize"
What?
"What...Why?"
"You were mean and hurt my feelings" why is she making me do this? She knows it's kind of hard for me to understand others' feelings, especially my feelings. How should I have known I hurt hers. I looked back at her, who looked sad, or I think she was sad
I then felt something in my stomach and chest. If I remember correctly, this is what guilt feels like. Okay this is new
"This is hard for me to say, but I'm sorry for calling you fat"
Jennie stared into my eyes and smiled a big smile. "I forgive you," she said hugging me and kissing me on the cheek. "But don't be mean like that again" she warned
"I'll try. It's just hard because saying what comes to my mind is a way to help me express my feelings"
She looked at me with a questioned look. "Why don't you ever say good or happy things?"
"Feeling and saying negative things is easier than feeling happy" I answered bluntly
Why did I say that
"Well it's a good thing I'm here," she said smiling and getting up. "Because from this point on I'm gonna make you feel happy and not just that, but make you feel your emotions and most of all make you smile," she said looking down and smiling at me
I got up and looked at her. "Good luck it's impossible. My parents should know they tried, but gave up"
"Well, that's one thing about me. I never give up!" She said happily and holding her fingers up in the air
"Well Ms. Kim since you never give up, why don't you run another lap around the track, since to me you don't seem tired!" Our coach yelled at her
Jennie just smiled. "No problem!" She turned and kissed me on my cheek then turned and ran her lap
Today was such a painful today
