He thinks he's so cool
Chapter 3
Disclaimer: I don't own…
I struggle through my last class of the day and by the time it's all over I'm so happy that I consider not staying for track practice. But I persist. I give Michi the car keys and tell her I'll get a ride home when it's over. I dress quickly in one of the boy's room stalls and arrive on the field early. All the other team members show up about ten minutes later laughing about this or that. I'm humming to myself and stop when the coach walks in front of us…
With him.
"Boys, this is Trowa Barton and he's new to the team. Don't go easy on him, ladies. I expect the same from him as I do any of you, is that clear?" "Yes, sir!" we shout. He walks over to our group and stands a little too close to me. "Alright, the weather report predicts bad weather so lets keep this short and sweet so we can get home dry. Five laps around the track, I'll pair you up and time you. Lets get stretching, ladies!"
As I begin to work the kinks out of my muscles, coach drones on and on, calling out our names. I begin to pray to the Silver Crystal, God, Allah, Buddha, Zeus, and what ever other deity is listening to spare me form being his partner. I don't know why, but it is urgent. "Tenoh, you race our new boy!" coach screams. I groan out loud and I feel his smile without even having to look. We wait for our turn and I can see the storm clouds gathering.
"Get your head out of the clouds, Tenoh, and get on your mark!" I look and see him already waiting for me at the start. I get into position.
"Go!"
I'm flying, this boy is out of his element and in mine. I'm sure I've passed him up. I turn to look behind me but am met by his image at my side. I can't believe it! He's keeping up with me stride for stride. We lap twice and I hear him chuckle, "Seems like we're evenly matched." "Shut up!" And at that moment I am glad it starts to rain because I'm afraid I might cry. "Pack it in, ladies," the coach shouts as he and the others scurry away.
I won't stop. I keep running and he keeps up. I'm running faster than I ever have and he keeps up. My foot catches on the track and I trip on myself, landing on my hands and knees in the rain. He leans down and encircles my middle pulling me into a standing position.
How dare him! I shove him away and ball my fists into the material of my top. "Are you alright?" he asks truly concerned. I snap. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I scream, "I hate you! You—you think you're so cool, God damn it!" I absently kick at the ground and cry. "Calm down, you're acting like a little girl. At your age, try acting like a grown woman."
I freeze. He knows. I wear boy's clothes at school! No one knows! "How!? How!? No one knows but Michi and minna-chan that I'm really--" "The rain doesn't provide much modesty," he smirks widely. I look down and see the form of my breast displayed through my drenched top. I'm bright red and cross my arms over my chest with an, "Eep!"
He moves his hand to my face. "Plus, you're too pretty to be a boy." He kisses me hard. I'm completely shocked and it feels so good. Better than Michi. And that though scares me. He pulls away and it hurts.
"I'm leaving for a while, about 3 to 4 days. Not too long. Thought I'd do that before I leave." He starts to walk away, towards the parking lot. I follow in a panic. "Going!? What the hell!? Not after that, I have to—have to kill you now! Don't walk away from me, Barton!" He gets into his car and rolls down the window. He's smiling at me. "I think you can call my Trowa, you're my girlfriend now." "What!? You really don't understand anything, do you!? And what about Michi!?"
He turns on his car, "3 to 4 days, I'll be back, we'll talk then." He extends his neck to present his lips for a good bye kiss. I kiss him quickly, ashamed of this weakness. He drives off and I'm alone in the rain without a ride. "He thinks he's so cool. Damn, he's a good kisser, though."
