Chapter 4
It was after school but none of the group of friends, or many of the other students for that matter, were in a hurry to go home. This was because it was the school's sports gala day, where everybody on the various school sports teams could showcase their skills, engage in friendly matches and so on.
The group of friends were currently seated around, all with the exception of Hannah, clad in their gym uniforms, although even amongst them, Jess stood out somewhat, having a small variant to her clothes.
Said clothes consisted of a pair of dark blue shorts, with a black school T-shirt and black sneakers for the girls; Jess stood out as her shorts were actually shorter than all the other girls, such was her self-confidence, she pulled it off effortlessly. There was no real complaints and the way Jess carried herself with this look, as well as it being public knowledge she and Matt were together meant nobody made any crass comments either.
The boys meanwhile were clad in black shorts, with a red sports team hoodie and black sneakers.
Meanwhile Hannah wore the uniform of her school team, the tennis team. As such she stood out from the group, being clad in a white mid-thigh length tennis skirt, a matching white tank-top and even white ankle socks and white sneakers.
Sam bit her lip, her argument with Hannah still fresh in her mind, as well as the usual feelings she got when she saw Hannah in her tennis gear.
"So um..." She began.
Hannah however reacted quickly, her voice terse. "I have to get going, got a match starting, talk to you guys later, go do your best."
With that she turned and stalked away, Sam bit back a sigh, well aware of the eyes upon her.
"Sammy, um, what exactly…?" Josh began.
Sam shook her head. "It's nothing, really, just...we had some stupid fight, don't worry about it."
But she could see Beth raising her eyebrow and knew she had to act fast.
"Beth, seriously, don't...Hannah and I can sort this out." Sam replied quickly. "It was stupid anyway, I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it and..."
Beth cut across her. "Sam stop, you know I'm not buying it, Ashley already told me."
Ashley bowed her head, blushing, at that.
"We all know and this is serious, why would Hannah think something like that?" Beth continued.
"I...I just..." Sam stammered. "I didn't cheat on her I just..."
"But you were up to something?" Emily finished; noting Sam's hesitance.
Sam sighed but nodded and Beth shook her head.
"Sorry Sam." She said at last. "But I can't let this stand, I will be talking to Hannah, tonight."
Sam groaned but as Beth and then the others all gradually moved towards their own activities Sam knew it was pointless to argue. So, praying this wouldn't make things worse, she made her way, quickly, to the school track field.
Meanwhile, not being very sporty people themselves, yet still attending to be with their friends, Chris and Ashley hung around awkwardly, near the football field to cheer on Matt.
"So um...been a while since we talked Ash..." Chris began, the awkwardness rising.
Ashley nodded slowly, feeling the same. "Y-yeah...how's, how's things?"
Chris replied, nearly tripping over his words. "Pretty, pretty good yeah."
He couldn't help himself when he saw Ashley's legs in her shorts, only to catch himself and quickly look away, mentally berating himself. If Ashley was aware she gave no sign, shifting from foot to foot. All the same she felt rather exposed in her gym clothes but then her mind went unbidden to Chris as she glanced at him.
'I wonder what he's thinking about, he looks, rather...' She thought before realizing where her thoughts were going.
Quickly brushing those thoughts aside she focused once more on the football field, along with Chris. The two smiled as they watched Matt play; both unaware they were now standing somewhat closer to each other than before. Watching this all unfold, a smirk playing on his face, was Josh.
'Well, well, well, there they go again.' Josh reflected in amusement. 'When are they gonna get the hint...both of them?'
It was clear as day, to everybody except them, that Chris and Ashley were both carrying major feelings for each other.
Emily let out a relieved sigh as she finished drinking from her water bottle. She had just started taking a break and looked around, trying to spot any of the others. She had to admit; of all the people to get into a fight, Sam and Hannah were the last ones she suspected.
Even more so given Hannah was the angry one here. Even as she thought that Emily's gaze found Beth, also taking a break. Beth was casually wiping some sweat from her forehead with a towel and Emily felt strange all over again.
'What the fuck is wrong with me? Why do I keep feeling like this?' She wondered. 'It feels even stronger now, what the fuck?'
The fact she still couldn't figure it out irritated her to no end, especially when it seemed to flare up whenever she was looking or, as of now, thinking of Beth.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
