Fiona

Today I am not myself. Instead of walking through the hallways I flow thought the hallways with the biggest grin on my face. Instead of learning about about the American Revolution I am on a different planet and Ash is there with me. Instead of running laps in gym I am walking through a field with the sun setting.

I am all of the states of matter and none at the same time. I feel light but full of emotion. I feel tired but I also feel like I can take on anything.

Who knew what a kiss could do.

After school I text Ash.

Me: Hey! Next week track practice starts so I have to prepare for that today. My sister is taking me home but tomorrow or the weekend we could go for a run to get you ready for tryouts.

Ash: Sure sounds good but I'll have to check my schedule. I'm pretty popular.

Me: hehe okay

"Fiona"

I look up to see Peter.

"Oh, hey! What's up?" I say

"Coach wants us to help out with tryouts next week,"

"What time?"

"I think he said right after school on Wednesday and we have to wear our track uniforms,"

"Okay. Thanks for reminding me."

"Bye," he starts to walk away

"Wait!" I call to him. "What happened to you and my sister? I heard you guys fighting the other day."

"I don't if she wants me to tell you but we broke up,"

"I'm sorry,"

"Don't be. I have to go. Bye,"

"Bye,"

When I get into the car I immediately start interrogating my sister.

"Cally? Did you and Peter break up?"

"Yeah," she says clearly annoyed.

"Why?"

"I don't know,"

"People don't break up for no reason,"

She sighs.

"Did you do something?" I asked.

"No why would you ask-"

"Did you cheat on him?"

"No! Why would you assume that?"

"Maybe you-"

"Did you ever think that I don't want to tell you that reason or that I have feelings! Huh?" She says her voice rising.

"I'm sorry. I-" 

"No you can keep your apology. I'm sick of you making me the bad guy!"

"I didn't mean-"

"Of course you didn't mean to!" She says sarcastically. "It's never your fault!"

"Cally I-"

"No I don't want to hear your explanation. Just shut up and leave me alone!"

When we pull into the driveway Cally doesn't get out the car.

"Aren't you going to come in?" I asked gingerly just in case she gets mad at me again.

"No. I'm going out,"

I left the car and watched her pull out of the driveway. When I get into the house no one is home. I miss Cally. I feel like shit. I always assume that it's her fault. I never tired to comfort her when Peter broke up with her. I guess that's why she's mad. 

After finishing my homework I went on jog to prepare for track next week and clear my mind, mostly to clear my mind. I put my earbuds in and play my workout playlist. On my jog I see a boy and a girl walking together. Usually I would gag or roll my eyes but seeing them makes me think of Ash, so instead I smile.
