Hey guys! Here's chapter 4!
Cara's pov:
The next day after school I see Max walking in the hallway.
"Hey Max" I say as I run towards him.
"Oh hey Cara" he replies.
"Why weren't you here after school yesterday?"
"Ohh…I had a soccer ? What were you doing here after school yesterday?"
"Oh…..no reason, I just wanted to ask someone a question."
"Oh. Hey isn't your tennis match today?" I completely forgot about it.
"Oh yeah. Yeah It's tonight. Yup at five. Here. On the courts." Man I'm awkward.
"Well ok. I'll be there so see you there. You're going against the knights right?"
"Yeah. I'm kinda nervous. They're really good."
"I'm sure you'll do fine."
"Yeah. I guess….omg I told Adam I would help tutor him today! I have to tell him I can't anymore!"
"Well I have to go. See ya later Cara." He playfully slugs me in the shoulder. I slug him back.
"See ya." As he walks out of the school, I sink back on one of the lockers I'm leaning up against. He touched me. Max Gold, just touched me. Omg I feel like I'm melting. I now have the song "I Can Hear the Bells" from the play "Hairspray" in my mind. I then snap out of my daydream and call Adam and tell him I can't tutor him tonight.
"I'm sorry Adam" I say after telling him about not being able to tutor him, "I completely forgot about this match today and….."
"Hey it's fine Cara" he answers, "It's cool. Hey I always wanted to come see a game of tennis. Mind if I come?"
"Oh sure. That's fine Adam. Well see you later."
"See you." I hang up. When I get home I get dressed for my match. When I get to the tennis courts I see Adam and Bree. I walk up to them.
"Hey guys"
"Hey" Bree replies, "Adam told me you had a match today. I wanted to come and see you. Chase did too, but he apparently had too much 'homework' to do. Leo has a date with Janelle."
"Oh ok it's cool." I turn my head and see Max! Bree turns to see Max also.
"Look Max's here" she told me, "Go and say hi."
"Umm ok." I walk over to him. "Hey Max."
"Hey Cara" he responds, "Ready to play?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." He smiles. His smile is so pretty. It has a sweet, innocent look to it. Seems like 20 seconds pass by and none of us say anything, so I tell him goodbye and begin to warm up on my courts. The opposing team comes later and we begin our matches. While I am warming up with the other girl I'm playing against I see Max come and sit in front of my courts. I can feel myself blush. He came to the game to watch me. Wow. Maybe he will ask me to homecoming after the game. The game starts and I am winning. Max is smiling. He's probably happy because I'm winning. I ended up winning the game. I shook my opponent's hand telling her good match. She did the same. She went crying off the court. I took my time to get off the court. I fixed my hair so that I looked good when Max congratulated me. I walked out of the courts and my eyes widened. There 10ft away from me I saw Max embracing my opponent into a big hug. She was crying into his shoulder. He was telling her it was ok. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?! That's supposed to be me, hugging Max, not her! He must know her. He must've come here not for me, but for her! I feel tears come down my cheeks. No. He can't have a girlfriend can he? No. This can't be happening! I run past everybody including Adam and Bree without saying a word. I start heading towards the school. I storm into the school and start to sob. I walk into the bathroom. Thankfully there's nobody in there to ask me if I'm okay. I hate when people ask me that. I look into the mirror at my reflection. Man am I ugly. I can't get one guy to even notice me. And I probably never will. I continue to look at myself in the mirror as I sob.
How was that? Is Cara's opponent really Max's girlfriend or is this all one big misunderstanding? Sorry it was short. I've been so busy for the past 2 weeks. Feel free to review! See ya next time!
