Today was the day that Keely and her mom would drive
to Palm Dessert; this was the day before the race would
start. Keely's Aunt Joan was coming, too, just because
she wanted to be there when Keely finished the race.
Now, in most stories, they say you either win or
lose. But what if you could do both at the same time?
This, my friends, is what happened to Keely Teslow
that very day. She felt like she was winning becuse
she had the advantage of having a really
good horse back rider as an aunt, but also losing,
because Phil wasn't there to cheer her on. But
then again, if Phil was here with her today, she
wouldn't be racing in the first place. The drive
was a really long one, and with Willy in the back
neighing all of the time, it wasn't easy for any of
them. But Keely was willing to do anything for Phil,
even if it meant risking her own life. Maybe her
Aunt Joan was right; maybe Keely really did
love Phil. But to Keely, he could never love her
back. But she always knew there was a
possibility, a hope, a chance that he felt the
same way. If she didn't win this race, and
Phil died, then Keely would never know
if he felt the same way; and that would mean
that all of her hopes of them crossing the line
of frendship even a little bit would be destroyed.
The only signs that she hinted to him that she liked
him any more than a friend was when she kissed him
on the cheek when he introduced her to Via. Even
then, the only rection that he gave to her to
suggest anything more was that he said, "I
get a kiss every time I introduce you to a
girl?", and at that point, it seemed that he was
only joking. But if he did like me, Keely thought,
than why was he never nervous around me and why
did he never blush? No one could answer her
questions for her. If her question was even reasonable,
then the only suggestion anyone could have for her
was to ask why she didn't act that way, either.
Keely thought about this the entire ride to Palm Dessert,
and by the time they got there, she still had an unanswered
question. No one had bothered her from her deep mood of
thought, because her aunt and her mom both knew exactly what
she ws thinking about. It was official. All of the Teslows knew
that Keely loved Phil. And that is all I cn say for this
chapter, nothing more.
Sorry for not updating for like... forever. I know... cliffie... hahaha. I know I only described Keely's thoughts during the ride, but I can't think of anything that I can actually use to describe the race. I promise that I'll write about it in the next chapter. Really, I will. Ok, stop having that look of disbelief on your face. I will! For now, ll I can ask of you is to R&R. Thanks!
