Chapter 2
"Travis, over here! I'm open!" School was over and Laura and Kana were sitting on the bench watching the soccer practice. But, for some reason, Laura was strangely quiet; usually she'd be talking about how great and cool Travis was.
"Laura, you okay?" Kana asked worried about her best friend.
"Oh, um, yeah I'm fine. I was just thinking about something." She said taking her eyes off the field and looked over to her friend.
"About what? I noticed you were watching Roberto." She said causing Laura blush and look down at her shoes.
"Um, well, I just thought that Roberto looks really pumped when playing" she looked back up and watched him for moment again. "Even though it's just practice, his still enjoying every minute of it." She said faintly. Kana was a little surprised Laura would actually admit thinking about Roberto, but she then smiled happily.
"Well guess we already know who won." She said looking back at the field.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" she looked back to her friend.
"Oh, nothing, look practice is finishing up." After they the coach talked to them, the players went to the benches and grabbed their towels and some water.
"So Laura, after I get change can we talk?" Travis said standing next to Laura.
"A sure, I'll just wait here until you're ready." Kana went home ahead without her, but wished her 'good luck'. Laura simply sat down on the bench and waited. She heard the locker room's door open and turned around to see if it was Travis. It wasn't, it was Roberto. He looked over at her, but didn't anything. He simply walked away. She was about call out and greet him, when she heard the door open again and saw Travis come out.
"Sorry to make you wait." he said coming towards her while she stood up and met him half-way.
"It's alright. So what do want to talk about?" he blushed and looked down at the floor.
"Well, um, you see." He looked back up at her, "I really like you Laura, probably since the first day I met you. You're so cheerful and sweet and energetic. I really like you; will you please go out with me?" Laura couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her long time crush had not only confessed his feelings to her, but he had asked her out and complemented her. She had always dreamed of this. She was going tell him 'Yes' and 'I've liked you for a long time too' but something deep inside of her wouldn't let the words come out. But why? "Well duh, I love playing. I guess you could call it my passion."Roberto? Why am I thinking about him know? "Laura?" she looked back at him.
"Travis, what you said just now, made me really happy, but I need time to think. Is it alright if I answer you tomorrow?" she asked disappointing him a little, but he faked smiled and just said "Alright, I'll wait for your answer in the morning then. Well, I'll see you tomorrow." He said before leaving. It was about 4:40pm when Laura got home. She thought about what to do about Travis while she tried to do some homework before she took Brandy out on a walk.
She took Brandy to the park where class saw stars and fireflies. She had Brandy lead her around when heard. "Laura?" she turned around and saw Roberto holding his little dog Samba.
"Roberto, what are you doing here?" he set down his dog and he ran off to play with Brandy.
"Well, since the class trip, I've taken a liking to this place. It's away from the city, quite, and a good place to just think."
"Yeah" she agreed, but all the energy in her voice was gone. Roberto could clearly see something was wrong.
"Hey Laura, are you okay? Did something happen?" She smiled feeling happy for a moment. She liked the thought that he actually cared about her.
"Well, you see, Travis kind of told me he likes me and then he asked me out"
"Oh, then why are so down? Aren't you in love the guy?" Laura frowned and starred up at the sky.
"I thought was, but then, but then" I started thinking about you.
"Laura?"She suddenly felt angry and glared at him.
"This is all your fault!" she yelled taking him back a little.
"My fault? How is that my fault? Wait a minute, what's my fault" he asked bewildered.
"The fact that I feel so confused right now, if you hadn't made me fall for you, this never-" she gasped and covered her mouth realizing what she had just said. She blushed and looked over at Roberto, who was staring at her wide-eyed. Oh no, what did I just do!
