As I finished my run, I was the last one who finished and surprisingly Grayson was patiently waiting for me.

Grace looked like she was holding her laugh, while Indiana looked equally as exhausted as I was. "Great job!" Grayson said as he jogged to me. I was too busy panting, and I only nodded at him.

He handed me the paper, and I ran five laps for six and a half minutes. My cheeks heated in embarrassment as I received it.

"Hand me your paper," I reminded him, and he gave it to me.

I knew I wasn't supposed to be sitting down right away, but who cared, so I sat down. My legs were aching very badly.

This was probably the main reason why my height was still like this.

"Good luck!" I exclaimed at both Grace and Grayson as they were on the starting line. They both smiled at me.

Probably surprised by my voice, Alexander Howell also turned around and looked at me. He started waving his hands too, making my heart nearly stop. Since we've never spoken to each other, there's no way he did that to me, right?

I nearly waved him back, but luckily I turned around to see another girl waving at him. He smiled to my direction, but obviously not to me, and he turned around to start running.

His pace was at first slow, but then he started to pick up his pace. I stared at him for a while, but I quickly tore my eyes away from him to see Grace and Grayson, cheering at the both of them.

Before I knew it, it was nearing the end of the race, and Grayson finished first at the record of four minutes. I congratulated me as he took a seat next to me and I gave him his paper. "Great job!"

Not too long after, Alexander finished, and I found myself staring into his eyes as he stared at mine. He started walking to me with a cute smile on his face and I stood up, wanting to congratulate him.

"Good job!" I practiced the words in my head as I smiled at him, but then he suddenly disappeared.

Grace was now in my view. "Was I fast?" she questioned. I nodded my head as I smiled at her, cursing at my mind for imagining things again.

"Great job!" I told her, my eyes wandering onto the certain boy who was laughing with his friend.
