Heartstopper

Practice 1.

"Come on Charlie ."
"No way . That's not how I'm going to die ."
I tried my best not to laugh at this comment .
"You're not gonna die ! Just tackle me , I'm not gonna move ."
He sighed in defeat.
"That's such a dumb Idea ."
Then he started to run and tackled me down .
"That was Great ! Now we try while I'm moving ."
He shook his head no .
"Why not ?"
I stood up and hold my hand out . He takes my hand and I lifted him up.
"Nick , I can't anymore ! We do this for 1 hour now .
I want to shower and sleep . The others are home already and we're still here . Playing rugbyyyyy."
"If we stop practice , you will never play on the field .
Your just sitting outside ."
"That's literally exactly what I want!"
I sighed .
"Why do you plus Rugby , when you don't like it ."
He stayed silent for a few seconds before going back to his position .
"Come on , start moving ."
I starred at him before shaking my head . We practiced for 10 more minutes before deciding that's enough for today .

We started to change in our own clothes as I remembered my Question, which he seems to avoid.
"Charlie , why are you playing rugby if you don't like it ?"
He stopped all his movements And looked at the T-Shirt in his hands .
"Its not important ."
Then he quickly pulled it over his head .
"Oh Cmon , tell me !"
He sighed before answering .
"I have a crush on someone in the rugby team, but you can't tell anyone !"
Who ? Whoever it was , wasn't good enough for him . He shouldn't have a crush on someone like them . I didn't know exactly why it bothered me. But it did .
"Who ?"
He looked at me like I was crazy.
"I'm not gonna tell you ."
We both walked out and made our way to the school gate .
"Why not ? Omg Is it Harry ?"
Please tell me it isn't Harry .
"No , of course not ! Why would I have a crush on Harry ?"
He stopped and looked In my eyes , like I just offended him.

"I don't know it was just an idea ."
"No , it isn't Harry . He's literally my bully and I'm not into enemy's to lovers."
"Who is it then ? Please tell me."
I felt like a little kid begging for a candy.
"No , I'm not gonna tell you ."
Charlie started to walk again.
"You can trust me ! I'm not gonna tell him ."
"I do trust you ! That has absolutely Nothing to do with trusting you ."
"With what then ?"
"I- I just can't say it !"
I sighed , why won't he tell me ?
"Okay ... I need to go ."
"Nick ..."
"Bye Charlie ."

I turned around and started to walk to my mums car . I opened the door and sat down .
"How was training Nicky ?"
She smiled .
"Okay , like always ."
