today was the day of the football game and i still hadn't made up my mind. it was a "b" day and it was going by so slowly. it was killing me.
it was only second period and i was sitting with hayes and haley since our teacher was nice and let us sit where we wanted to.
right now we were working on a worksheet with whoever we wanted to and hayes was not getting any of it. "who says Spanish is easy? it's not." he says, erasing something.
"what does that mean?" i pointed to a word we had to translate in english. "i don't know. hi?" haley snickers before saying, "it means hungry."
"i knew that." he says writing it down. "so are you going to the football game tonight?" haley asks. "nah. i don't wanna be reminded that i didn't make the team." hayes replies.
"i don't know. i don't wanna hurt nash's feelings or wes'." i say. "he made his football team?! way to go wes." hayes chuckles.
"either way, i'm sure they'll understand. whoever you pick." haley shrugs. "yeah. no pressure." hayes smiles, giving me a side hug.

"c'mon claire!" hayes grabs my hand as we run the track. we were doing the first mile of the year and oh my god i was not ready.
by grabbing my hand, my pace quickens to his level and now we're running at the same time. "just a few more steps. we're almost done." he says as we run.
"shut up hayes!" i pant as we run. whenever i run, especially forced, i get cranky. "8:03 is both your times. that's funny. because you guys are twins." Mrs. Hendrix laughs.
i barely let out a chuckle before leaning on hayes to catch my breath. we made a new friend in this class. his name was Milo. he was cute but not as cute as wes. (lol. y'all finna be surprised)

him and hayes were like magnets on the first day of school. he was definitely going to be in his life for a long time. "damn, are you okay?" milo laughs.
"are you good claire? seriously you look like you're about to faint." hayes has a worried face. "no i'm fine. i just need water." i say.
i get off him and walk but my knees are so wobbly. "ugh. i hate the mile." hayes insists on giving me a piggy back ride all the way back inside but i say no.
instead, i just lean on him as his arm is around me. we walk back inside and wait for everyone else to be done.

it's the end of the day and i go home taking a shower immediately. once i was done and dressed, i went downstairs seeing hayes on the couch flipping through channels.
