Chapter 10
Tyson ran for all it was worth, not even stopping for breath. He didn't care whether he knew where he was going or not. He felt hurt, like his mind was clouded and there was a pit in his stomach. Everything around him felt unclear, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. The end of the day was getting closer, and the sun was starting to set. But Tyson still ran. He started heaving, feeling tired from training after school. Without thinking, he ran faster until he tripped over something. He collapsed onto the ground. "Man." Tyson murmured, wincing at his pained ankle on which he tripped over. Slowly, he got up, slowly walking. Maybe I'm just running from my fears. Tyson thought, looking down at the ground. He walked past the bridge on the other side of town, stopping as he looked at the ocean. Walking down the hill, he went over to the waters edge and looked at the sky. His eyes stung with new tears as he held them back. ".Why doesn't she love me?" Tyson asked himself. Yet the answer was obvious, He had hurt her over the past week, and they could never get along. Looking down at the sand, a cold wind blew by from the ocean breeze and past Tyson. So Tyson walked on, still feeling that pit in his stomach and his mind clouded, as his emotions played with his thoughts. He wondered if he could ever change things between him and Hilary.
Kai jerked away from her, turning his back. "Just leave me alone, can't you see that Tyson's hurt?" Kai snapped, his voice quivering a little. "But, Kai." Hilary started before Kai interrupted. "Can't you see Hilary? Tyson obviously likes you. You should go talk to him," Kai said, starting to walk away. "Wait a minute Kai. What about you? How do you feel about this, about me?" Hilary questioned, hesitating on the last word.
