(AN- Jackie and Hyde meet in the summer before junior high on a sports team. After meeting each other again in highschool, they happen to fall for each other, but Hyde starts to change in the way he treats Jackie. Will she be able to change him back to the way he used to be or will their love plummet?...btw friends of mine that read this, this is the thing that Julia wants me to write about Gary but its in my own words.)

Disclaimer- I own nothing but the plot.

Far Behind

Jackie layed in bed that night remembering what Richard and Sam told her. He couldn't like me. That's just…impossible. She couldn't understand why someone would like her that way when her whole life she was criticized. No one has ever liked her this way. It was a whole new feeling that she couldn't quite get a handle of. No he doesn't. Nope. There is no way.

The following week as she made her way to soccer practice, she told herself over and over again that she would just simply ignore him and what Richard and Sam had commented on.

The practice wore on and she had successfully avoided him all day. She felt very proud of herself for doing that. She remembered that she had one more day to avoid him and that was the championship game they had the very next day.

Late afternoon. Next day


Jackie sat on a bench and panted wildly. She had just finished running on the field and was about to take a drink when someone sat next to her and took her water bottle. It was Hyde. Oh no…she took the water bottle out of his hands, gave him a dirty look and drank a huge gulp.

"Whatever" he grumbled and he stood and walked away. She felt bad for how she acted towards him but quickly dismissed it when the coach called her back out on the field.

The team came in second place in the whole championship thanks to Richard's saves in goals and Hyde's goals. Jackie went home to her mother and celebrated by a much needed time off sitting by the TV. It was only a week away till her 8th year of school started and she couldn't wait to tell all of her friends about her summer.

AN. I know its an extremely short chap and I know it took me forever to update and I apologize for that. Next chapter is better and it is going to be set in gr. 9 highschool and that's where all the good stuff happens. Just a reminder that all this happened to me so I may not put everything in the story and it will probably will not be word for word but this did happen. Enjoy the next chapter.
